Guest MrRant Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Hundreds Arrested at D.C. Protest I didn't see any reports of anyone being bashed in the face while proclaiming their "righteous cause".

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 They do know what they're talking about, they're just saying something you don't endorse. The people who destroyed property should have been taken into custody yes, but parading without a permit? Arresting people who may not have had anything to do with it? Why couldn't I have been in Washington when this went down? Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least. I look forward to the sight of 10,000 people or so trying to get a message across. I hope the number swells with people who want to support them after hearing about today. Just please don't break anything, then the right will pound on you as if you're Satan arriving on Earth.

Guest MrRant Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Stop corporate greed? WTF is that? Why would anyone support that? If they hate corporations I suggest they buy a cave and become a hermit. Or move to a 3rd world country. I hope to one day be one of the greedy corporate leaders. MrRant, Hate hippies so doesn't support these people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I think anyone seeing all the corporate graft being exposed over the last year would support them, especially since such greed led to the liquidation of thousands and thousands of jobs and made an economy that was slowly recovering take a step backward. It's great to want to get ahead and make a lot of money, but not at the expense of others from your own want to do illegal activities. Kotzenjunge Pays Attention to Enron, Worldcom, Xerox, Tyco...

Guest DragonflyKid Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I used to watch Free speech tv when I went through a liberal phase and I think corporate greed refers to corporations who are amoral and whose only conern is profit. The hippies don't like the fact some corporations would decimate the environment for profit or move their factories to other countries to avoid environmental restrictions and ensure safe working conditions and adequate wages for the workers. They also don't like the fact the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, with the rich getting more powerful at the expense of the poorer. The hippies are basically challenging the Enron's of the world and the corporations that buy influence and do not have to be accountable as an individual would have to be. Although I may still agree with the hippies on some issues as no system is perfect, I feel they go way too far and are just a bunch of idealistic crybabies. Protesting isn't going to change the world, it's kinda like that saying(I don't know the exact words), "a single pair of hands at work do more that a million hands clasped in prayer." Capitalism is here to stay, the only way to change it is from within. A minority of the population complaining is only noise. On a final note I say bring back the violent nihilistic anarchists, none of these love your brother pacifist anarchists, they're just too damn boring.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Hey, I said I supported the anti-corporation part, not the anti-capitalism part. I'm not a complete idiot. I think we're forgetting the other half of the protest was against the possible war with Iraq, which is the side of it I agree with much more.

Guest Olympic Slam Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Hundreds Arrested at D.C. Protest I didn't see any reports of anyone being bashed in the face while proclaiming their "righteous cause". I so enjoy hippie beatings. As fun as it is seeing a hippe getting tossed around, I'd rather they just be ignored. These people LOVE to be martyrs and love to protest because they get off on it. I usually just ignore protestors of any kind because I know they're looking for reactions and they're looking for confrontation. Without that, they're just a bunch of ugly people holding up signs and yelling stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Some Guy Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Kotzenjunge Would Keep Quiet for the Anti-Capitalism Parts but Would Yell the Anti-Corporate Parts It's kind of hard to have one without the other. Corporations do a huge part to feul our ecomony and provide millions of jobs in America, they are Capitalism. A few bad ones here and there shouldn't give all of them a bad name. If I said that since my mom has been mugged 3 times (twice at knife point and once at gun point, where she was dragged into a building and thought she was going to be raped) by young black men and because of that I hate all black people (I don't), you'd think that was pretty stupid, right? Well there you go. At one downtown intersection, protesters chained themselves together to block traffic. They should have been run over. It's all wel and good to staeg a protest that no one gives a shit about, but at least have the decency to not obstruct other's lives. That'll piss people off, not make them listen. In '91 in Boston they did that shit to protest the liberation of Kuwait (a 3rd world, Islamic country. But I thought we hate all of them?) at rush hour. They blocked off a few streets, severely pissing off the commuters. We haev bad enough traffic and roads here as it is, we don;t need a bunch of retard hippies getting in the way.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Certainly got your attention though, didn't it? The problem is that no one listens to liberals in this country these days, so such methods are needed just to get people's attention, since every other normal channel has been stifled. And yes, you can have a well-ordered capitalist economy without corporate graft. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if it wasn't a matter of them being some of the largest in the world and affecting billions in dollars and thousands of stockholders and employees who are all now just SOL because the people up top couldn't handle things in an ethical manner. I can guarantee that if it wasn't so many companies it wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue, but when the biggest bankruptcy in US history is followed by about a dozen more stories of similar situations, it raises concern.

Yes it got people's attention, I was 10 and getting ready for Hogan to fight Slaughter at the time but it pissed them off and most sane people would disregard them anyway. We're trying to help oppressed people and the Left doesn't like it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... No one listens to Liberals? Since when? The demonstraters aren't "Liberals" anyway. They were advocating that we let Kuwait be taken and now that we let Sadam continue to oppress people. "Liberal" means freedom, these people doen't want freedom apparently.

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted September 28, 2002 Ahh, I love me a good pseudo-hippie beating. Anyone ever been to one of these "rallies"? When I lived in State College for the worst two years of my life, I had the pleasure of witnessing a bunch of pseudo-hippie events, the best being when the national governors convention came to town.

Most liberals I've dealt with or liberals I'm familiar with in the media are very angry, very unhappy, and generally miserable people. The further left these people seem to be, the more pronounced those traits appear to be. I have a theory about why leftists are the way they are but I'll save it for another day.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 I'm very happy with the current state of things, but then again I'm not a full-fledged member of these people. The thing is that pretty much any politically active group, no matter who they are, are perceived as unhappy because they are. If they were content with things, they wouldn't be actively trying to change them. In this case, these folks are unhappy. If there had been a counter-protest staged by war hawks and free enterprise advocates, that's a sign that they were unhappy. I'm curious about this theory, and why it makes leftists sound as if they've got some kind of condition. Kotzenjunge Has Moderateitis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MrRant Report post Posted September 28, 2002 It creates laziness and denies people the satisfaction of reaping the rewards for their hard work. Do I mind people when people lose their jobs getting unemployement or a loan or something until they get things straight? Of course not. But I do have a problem with people trying to live of MY hard work. I want the taxes I pay to benefit ME. Not some lazy motherfucker who only has time to walk down to the local office to pick up his check inbetween Hogan's Heroes re-runs and smoking crack.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 28, 2002 There are some people who don't derive a feeling of reward for hard work. More often than not these people either do half-assed jobs at their work or are out on the street. The way things are currently, there are more positives coming out of public welfare programs than negatives, so they should stick around, whether we like it or not. There will be abuses of every system no matter what, because people will always find loopholes and ways to do it.
