You don't actually care what I think anyway, so why should I answer your questions with any detail?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ReverseEngineer', ' ')So far your ideas aren't too effective here.
That's fine. Who the Fark cares? I'm just spamming your thread.

I know :-) And you are giving me endless material here to boot! LOL.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'Y')ou don't actually care what I think anyway, so why should I answer your questions with any detail?

I am unaware of any answer you ever made when you get in one of these moods that treats any of my stuff with respect, in fact even when you agree with it you are ashamed of yourself for that. You persistently belittle what I write, and you force me into contests of one-upmanship on an ad hom basis, and I am quite good at that also.
Why don't you actually try dropping your sarcasm with me? You will find that I DO care about what you think, but you put up a wall to prevent any challenge to that. Your choice Ludi. I'll trat your material with respect when you stop spamming my threads with one liners and one word responses. You make yourself look shallow this way, and I know you are not. Give up this method.

All this safety gear you suggested may be dangerous. I recall that there were lawsuits against people who wore this sort of stuff in demonstrations in Germany. Don't ask me details, it's long time ago.
As I recall, it was said that someone who wear protection intend to throw stones.

I suggest two demonstration forms (between others):
One was a human chain between to cities about approx 80 km long. This is a great thing, especially in our media centred society, makes good TV pictures.
The second was used against the DDR regime, the Monday demonstrations. They were very peaceful as I remember, they only united at a place (this sort of places in the center of a town, I don't know it that exists in the US) with candles, no speech no music ,silent (well this was long time ago as well..). Nobody can attack you, because you are not doing even saying anything, you are even not showing any posters.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', '
')Personally it would take a lot to make me want to get involved in an actual protest,


What sort of thing would you feel inclined to protest in an active way?

I've only been to a few protests. Back in Los Angeles when they were aerial spraying Malathion on the City, I went to a protest of that (and got sprayed with Malathion) and a few years ago I went to a couple peace/anti-war marches. These were all relatively small and very peaceful protests.

I guess I wonder what people would be protesting these days? The collapse of the status quo? The continuation of the status quo?

+1 wearing all that makes you prime candidate for the police, do have a handkerchief handy for the tear gases though. Hit and run is the way to go...

Maybe the US police is a bit rougher, but it may helps if you are caught by the police, fall immediately to the ground, act as if something hurt you terrible etc. the best is if you have some press around you. The police does not want to attack innocent people when it may be reported.
