SuperKat 0 #1 April 10, 2007 This is a shame. Why do these people have to wear masks? Why can't they be brave enough to show their faces? Clicky What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n23x 0 #2 April 10, 2007 Honestly, this bothers me. Not that they're protesting war (despite it being a ass-backwards way of doing it), nor that they're wearing masks. But burning a soldier is rediculous. Protest the government that is putting them in that position. Not the people that are doing they're job because they're ordered to. Burning an effigy of the W, on the other hand, might not bother me in the least. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But burning a soldier is rediculous. Wouldn't worry about it. This is just the latest passing fad for these losers. Next week they will be screaming about our obligation to hug a gay baby whale, or they will chain themselves to a beer store demanding the right to legalized crack cocaine to lighten them up while they spend all day jerking off to the government subsidized internet porn they will demand next. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Why do these people have to wear masks? Why can't they be brave enough to show their faces? Because they are cowards.

They are probably hiding their faces for their own safety, and maybe to avoid trouble at work, etc. In the present 'big brother' state of America, with police video taping even peaceful protests for no good reason, I understand some people feeling the urge to hide their identity.

As for blaming soldiers for the crimes they commit (and rightfully so) I guess they are just stupid enough to follow principles 1 and 4 of Nuremberg and other "crazy" international laws and Geneva conventions, where do they get off using logic like that.
