Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13..will this be taking place - or is it a protest of words and ideas from an idealistic point of view?
but now your getting tiresome!
like the anti-war protests Mixer?
I'll be there. It's time we showed the Islamofascist raghead sympathisers what's what.
I don't think you should call yourselves the Pro-War movement though, how about "American Army Comrades Association"?
Semper fide. Do or die.
Anyone attenting these protests must take extreme care to define positions and keep them seperate. Confusion and anger from both sides creates a possibility for agressive or even violent reactions. Remember on side here supports and endorses the maiming and killing of people who dissagree with them.
I would urge the anti-war side to display their feelings by turning their backs on the pro war demonstration and ignoring their presense. No doubt many trouble makers will be present. Armchair patriots will be aggitated and eager to incite violence. They have been rallied into a frenzy of blood thirsty rage at those ( . . . by far in the majority) who do not support their policy of freight train false freedom - "join us or we'll run you down in our speedy determination to drive common sense and decency over the cliff edge into oblivion. defy their insults and aggressive cowardice by ignoring them. Turn your backs on them and drown out their wails and screams for blood by banging your pots and keeping your determind approach to stick together in peace. Words are strength, unity is strength, peace is the courageous path . . .
I have a couple of slogans you could use:
"25 Major american corporations can't be wrong"
"It's not about the oil, honest"
"It's not a terrorist action if you have a nice shiny uniform"
"Might makes right"
"The ends justify the means"
"You can't make an omlette without slaughtering a couple of hundred innocents from half a mile up with a few hundred kilos of explosive and steel"
Don't get me wrong here folks, I don't find the deaths of iraqi civilians in any humorous, but the pro death brigade are always worthy of mockery.
.. smoking the peace pipe only works if everyone subscribes to that ideal. Since the world isn't built in the image of a doped out '60s San Fransisco.....peacenikery just won't cut it.
So how's about getting real and admitting that this war isn't about killing and maiming groups with dissenting and opposing views. Wars are necessary steps in the evolution of a heterogeneous global society. Always have been, always will be.
"Wars are necessary steps in the evolution of a heterogeneous global society. Always have been, always will be."
"We kill or oppress anyone who doesn't agree with, or fit into our world view."
Will you be carrying 'War is Peace' banners?
2000 arrested peace protesters in a few days after day x - does not sound like druggy hippies to me
these are the people who justify the unjustifiable - mai lai and the bombing of cambodia by Kissengers mob

What pro-war movement? - "David Mertens" - no address, no phone, no e-mail. - No way to contact. (And probably no members, other than himself, the ejit)
Obviously a troll, so why are people bothering to get worked up? There are bigger fish to fry.
I dunno about this thing but the pro war, oh sorry, pro liberation soc in UCD do exist kind of. That is if u call having about four members and too much postering time on your hands an existance.
