ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: Kirata ORIGINAL: thompsonx Leave aside for a moment the vandalism and fire-setting. Imagine thousands of people holding signs in a line along the edges of the sidewalks on both sides of Fifth Avenue from Washington Square to Central Park. That would be one hell of an impressive protest. No businesses would be shut down and no thoroughfares blocked. Access by the public would be unaffected and emergency vehicles would not have to be diverted. But that's not what these so-called "protesters" want. Their intention isn't to protest, their intention is to disrupt, to disrupt the course of life for everyone who crosses their path until and unless they get their way. That's not a "protest," that's extortion. K. For those who never acquired a history book written for someone beyond the fifth grade I would like to point out that those "illegal" actions are the same ones used by the founders of this nation. My point stands regardless. K. Your point seems to be that either you do not approve of the founding of amerika or that it was right for then but not for now...Which is your point that stands regardless? I never said anything about right or wrong. I just contrasted protests with extortion. My point was that there's a difference, and that point stands. For further assistance, see here. K. He ignores the fact that if the Brits had caught the founding fathers they would have hung them. Does that mean that to follow the same rules we should hang all the protesters we can catch?
