Why aren't you protesting? | |

Where they created money out of thin air and loaned it to the country at interest? Segregation? As a matter of fact, the country started hitting the skids with the end of segregation and the Kennedy immigration bill. The white man was thrown aside and minorities were given a leg up over whitey. Now look at the state of the country. LOL It was all predictable. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1274317 United States06/20/2011 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.ask.com] Quoting: Dr. HouseThere were many anti-nuclear protests in the United States which captured national public attention during the 1970s and 1980s. These included the well-known Clamshell Alliance protests at Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant and the Abalone Alliance protests at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, where thousands of protesters were arrested. Other large protests followed the 1979 Three Mile Island accident.[1] I was there, I protested - when I was young. Today you all have a perfectly good reason to be scared shitless and to be out there raging against those nuclear power-plants in your back yard. So where are you 20 and 30 somethings? I hear plenty of bitching and complaining about us Baby Boomers having 'made a bad world' Yet when push comes to shove you kids just sit there picking your noses. Impress me and EARN the right to call the baby boomers losers. Get your asses up and out and protest, rally, riot if you need be. Get those damned plants closed before they break down and kill you and your kids. Don't expect 65+ year olds to do all the work. This is your time your challenge. Rise to the occasion. This self righteous twaddle is just amusing. Great for a laugh, I mean to say. Do you think you're actually going to make me feel ashamed or something? Oh yeah, you 'protested' all right. Good job! it's just a shame that you accomplished nothing. You're like a Confederate soldier criticizing a Vietnam vet for his failure to beat the enemy. LOL I don't protest because I recognize that protesting cannot accomplish a damn thing. It's like the whistle on a tea kettle; our Rulers love it when we protest. It keeps us busy and focused on pointless busy-work that ensures no real challenge to the status quo can ever be mounted. I don't criticize the Baby Boomers for failing to protest; I criticize them for raising a generation of fools who cannot understand what is happening to them. Instead of raising your children you plunked 'em down in front of the TV and sallied forth to masturbate your egos about how radical you all were. If you had shut up and raised your children we might have escaped this. The baby boomers have got to be the blindest, most self-centered gang of Fools to ever walk the earth. Prove myself? To you I won't prove myself to you for the same reason I won't prove myself to the local Cub Scout den. Your respect isn't worth having. |

Quoting: Dr. HouseAmple proof that your Insight is nil and your Common Sense is atrophied. As for protests not accomplishing anything. If we didn't protest, women would still be in the kitchen, Women were never 'in the kitchen'. This is just an inflammatory device cooked up by the Feminist gang, ANOTHER disaster your generation lacked the sense to see where it would inevitably lead black and other minorities would stilt be segregated, I'll grant you this one, but the Civil Rights movement was spearheaded by blacks who would no longer tolerate the status quo. It may have come about organically without protesting, however--like Roe v. Wade. there would be no trees standing in the USA, or so few that might as well be none. This is just conjecture. And in any event, all those trees have been sold to foreign entities while your generation sat around in Che Guevera tee shirts yakking about your investments. So it's not much of a victory, is it? No real EPA standards to protect you from living in Love Canal over half the world... More conjecture. There have been plenty of laws passed in the interests of Public Health without the benefit of your alleged crusading. Where were the mass protests that led to Child Labor Laws? You can't just appropriate every advance and claim credit for it. Well, you CAN, but it's not convincing. There would probably 500+ nuclear power plants instead of just a couple hundreds, and you can certainly bet that the USA would have had more than just 1 three mile event. More conjecture. If your protesting was so effective there would be ZERO nuclear plants. And claiming to have prevented a second TMI displays a hubris bordering on a God Complex. The list is actually long. No it's not. Consider France. The French government is afraid of the people, who do 'revolt' and protest over minor things all the time. The French still understand the CONCEPT of what it means to be Free. You sat on your asses while your children's Minds were subverted by the Military Industrial Complex and the Ministry of Truth and its relentless propaganda campaign. But you don't hesitate to pat yourselves on the back, now, do ya? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1341062The only solution for getting rid of the current power structures is uniting into communities and defying government by self rule and independence from the system. The individual is alone and easily crushed. united resistance is the key and the safest way, although there are more radical solutions if you find enough revolutionaries. Exactly. Our only hope lies in Peaceful, United Non-Compliance. This relic actually still thinks the government can be swayed by 'protesting'. Not too swift in the uptake, is he?
