I'll be back. Lady friend wants me to come to bed. I think I may be too drunk to find it.edit on 26-10-2011 by Domo1 because: (no reason given)
This is only slightly on topic, and I apologize.. But I see so many people on ATS just aching for violence and it frightens me. You cannot obtain a peaceful reality on a violent path. By protesting you are accepting that you might get shot in the face with a rubber bullet, gassed, batoned, tazed - but we have to maintain the movement as a peaceful one or we revoke any right we have to demand change.

You need to accept that this is inevitable, and that the change we are calling for cannot be obtained through violence.

Sadly I think violence will be the only way anything WILL ever change..
The Government will make sure of that..
Until more realize that we actually DON'T have to "accept" it, nothing will change IMO..

Doing it your way would take years and that's no guarantee either..
A corrupt Government will do everything possible to stay in power..
You forefathers wrote the 2nd amendment for good reason, not just to go rabbit hunting.

So you just talk it through??
The US did that with Afghanistan..
Didn't work so they bombed them..
The US did that with Iraq..
Didn't work so they bombed them..
The US did that with Libya..
Didn't work so they bombed them..
Shall I go on or do you get the point of what the Government thinks of non violent protests??
But sure, the protesters should try something different that's never really worked..
