KevinTheOmnivore Ronnie's just bitter that the rest of the world is seeking alternatives to war. He wants to see his dead people.

Miss Modular I see you're still afflicted with Kapn's syndrome. Get over yourself.
Feb 13th, 2003 12:02 PM
Ronnie Raygun So as Mr. Lobowski says "the bums lost".
Feb 13th, 2003 09:05 AM
Miss Modular Sorry folks.

Unfortunately, I've had to withdraw, but for non-political reasons.

I'm sure this won't be the last protest. I'll protest someday, just Saturday won't be the day.
Feb 13th, 2003 12:24 AM
theapportioner I'll be there as well. If anyone wants my cell, email me at FART

What does the NYPD pay for the day have to do with it then...?
Its usually NYPD that handles security for these things. I haven't heard anything about National Guard being used.

To my understanding, the National Guard are being called in for the event. What does the NYPD pay for the day have to do with it then...?

This rally was thrown at the city at the last minute and there was no way to budget it in properly.
Please. These things happen all the time, often with much less premeditation.

I'll be there Saturday. Should be interesting.

Miss Modular Looks like there's a permit.
Feb 11th, 2003 02:52 PM
El Blanco Fucking, eh.

Its about time I got the recognition I so rightly deserve. Now, how about some free money and a lot of empty promises that will be forgotten as soon as France and China figure out they can't profit off me?

FS * * * THIS JUST IN! * * *

The UN security council has collectively decided to postpone any action towards Iraq on account of individual difficulties. As Colin Powell put it: "El Blanco has bigger problems."

No. I don't believe in your little cause. Why am I gonna stand in the freezing cold for how many hours?

And, unlike most of these psuedo-hippies I run into, I've got more problems.
Feb 11th, 2003 01:19 PM
El Blanco Not canceled. They just can't block off all of 1st ave. They have to stick to the park across the street from the UselessN building.
Feb 11th, 2003 11:48 AM
Ronnie Raygun Cancelled?

HA!

I'll admit to a certain degree this is true, but I don't think it's representative all protesters.

It's the official Trustafarian cologne. It's the reason a lot of them smell bad.

Why don't you come watch the protest on Saturday and see for yourself?
I almost had to. But, thankfully I won't. Its gonna be colder than a witch's titty.

Or do you think you're going to be poisoned by the scent of patchouli?
What the hell is patchouli, anyway? I have heard it refered to a bunch (damn you John Cusack), but never knew what it was. I'm guessing some vegetarian dish.

Bottom line: You can't march cuz bloomberg is too cheap to protect you.

ranxer hmm, maybe you took that the wrong way.. sorry if that sounded too cynical. i talk, chant, hold signs but have never needed a lawyer.. as a matter of fact i'm usually behind a camera recording free speech in all its glory.
I'd be one of the folks stopping the vandalism if it broke out not encouraging it.

what makes you think i'd need a lawyer?

ranxer how is Saddam a military threat to America?

just because our corporate media says he's the boogey man doesnt mean he is.
GW is lieing like there's no tomorrow and Powell is going along with it.. as you know, many of us dont believe it for a second.

How is Saddam an economic threat to America?

ror: such as overthrowing the rightful ruling of friendly neighbouring countries?

are you talking about Kuwait? haha a Monarchy propped up by the U$?? we set him up on that.. April Glasby gave Saddam the green light to invade by saying "Arab borders are not our concern" to him saying he was going to invade if the despute was not addressed. Saddam had a legal dispute over oil with Kuwait that was ignored by the world court And Kuwait.. Many of us saw it coming.. Saddam in his ignorance did not. I've heard many reports that he doesnt listen much to contrary opinion so it was no suprise that he didnt take caution there, but it was by no means an overthrowing of a rightful ruling of freindly neighbouring countries.

really the only question i have for you ror is why did April Glasby DISAPPEAR after that meeting before the invasion??? gee, could it be that they knew they were setting up to move on Iraq??
HINT: the answer wont come from the corporate mass media

That is your argument? Well, lets address Zimbabwe. . .Threat against the US, economically or militarilly speaking? Nope. Hussien, yes on both counts. Has Zimbabwe shown any real imperialistic urges, such as overthrowing the rightful ruling of friendly neighbouring countries? Nope. Is Zimbabwe currently refusing to abide by treatise and UN sanctions? Nope.
Didn't Iraq finally relent themselves to UN inspections? I think to a certain degree, we've allowed Saddam Hussein to become who he is today. There was a time when we supported him and his regime. Why didn't we go after him in the early '80s? What makes him more threatening now?

I think Saddam is a barbarous menace. But I don't think a war is going to solve anything. I think it's just going to create more problems and turn the whole world against us. Once we're done with Iraq, there'll more and more wars. You might not agree, but you're entitled to your opinion.
