Hey G-20 Protestors In Toronto.

Recommended Posts

I think directed and educated protest has its place. I feel that even if you disagree on an issue you should take time to understand it thoroughly. Protesting should be about saying this isn't right, but should be based on near complete knowledge of what is going on.

I don't mind the ones who march in peaceful protest, it the ones who cause riots that bothers me.

 

I myself do protests once in a while here in Buffalo, they are a silent protest, about the wars in the Middle East, failed economic polices, and the like.

how did that work out for you? i bet it ended with wars in the middle east and failed economic policies.

The protesting and violence is totally expected. The 90% of the problem is was in choosing to hold the summit in the downtown core of the largest city in the freaking country. How FUCKING STUPID IS THAT!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Ya, no shit there would be trouble, and no shit the security costs would be huge trying to secure such a densely populated location. They should have held the damn summit in Moosejaw or Yellowknife etc., and even then have them stay/meet at some isolated cottage resort in the middle of nowhere. Idiots!

i was discussing the cost of the whole thing with a conservative co-worker. he said these things are much easier in most other countries because they have armed force bases everywhere so its easy to locate the conferences closer to 'free' security. i asked why we didn't have the conference in borden or something, and he said that the chinese were too conservative for it.

 

this is all bullshit. the government is ignoring how canadians want their money spent and when we go to tell them how they got it wrong, a few dumbasses take it out of hand, forcing our right to protest to be ignored for our right to not have the financial district get all fucked up. i watched a documentary, berekley in the sixties, a few years ago and one former protester said something like, we wanted the cost of going to vietnam to be complete domestic disobedience. i don't think he meant like this though.

thats what i wondered. then he started talking about other conservative policies and his understanding of neo-liberalism and how its great for socialist canada. i don't think some people listen to their own thoughts, they just talk. all the shit thats happened on wall street.. thats what happens when money is involved. if that money is involved in an essential service, its only a matter of time before the money becomes an issue. tax us proportionately and make socialized services that everyone will use at one point or another. stick to budgets and voila! your government and society runs itself.

you have the weirdest, most inflated fucking understanding of the word of "protest." lucky for you, half of canada shares it. makes you look like less of a tard.

a lot of people have been talking about how unnecessary the whole meet up is in the first place. most of the decisions made in the final communiqu
