Okay, let's get one thing straight. If you are going to protest, don't be a pussy about it. Back in the day, thousands of people would gather at a time, mostly at a place where it would make a difference, such as Washington D.C., and then state their beliefs on a certain issue, usually with well thought out and researched ideas. Vietnam. Voting rights. It got notice, and in most respects, made a difference for the better.
Now what brings this up? Abortion protesters. Okay, let me state first off, that I do not share the same views as the protesters, but I am open to people displaying what they feel is right. In fact, if you are willing to try and do something that makes a difference, I have respect for you, because most people just sit on there asses and bitch.
Anyway, the abortion protesters. Now, of course, having somebody protest something you agree with, is going to anger you, just because it's human nature. But the protesters I saw on Sunday, at 120th and W. Center, were about the worst excuse for protesters I have seen in my entire life. There were a lot of them, and I mean a lot, and when you gather a lot of people, you can usually do something that will provoke interest in your issue. What were they doing? Standing. Standing still. Some were even sitting. The only people that had any movement were the small children running around behind them trying to have some fun on their weekend. Anyway, they were standing. The signs they had, pretty much all said the same thing. And they lined the sidewalk for about 4 blocks. You figure maybe they can try and deliver different reasons for their beliefs, but I think there were about 3 different sayings. "Abortion hurts women." So do flu shots. And cancer. Anyway. These people were holding these signs down by their knees. Yeah. That's going to get me excited, just seeing the care in your protest. Some were holding it over their stomach, but they had their arms crossed and were inadvertently covering up the word on the top. Come on. Seriously. I bet there were about 5 people there that actually wanted to be there. The rest had a house to clean, or football to watch, but had to show up because they wanted to look like people who cared.
Back to cancer. If stem cell research could cure cancer, we could sure save a lot more people in the end. How many people die from cancer every year, and how many abortions are done? I would like to see those numbers. Seriously. If you have them, send them my way, I'd like to see.
So yeah, back to the protesters. Get interested! I mean, come on. At this point, I don't even care what their position was, I'm just pissed off that they were having such a weak protest. Fuck. It's going to make about as much difference as me writing this is, except I'm just bitching about stuff, whereas they are actually trying.
It's like, if you had a conversation with them, it'd go "Oh, I'm against abortion" "really? Why?" "Well, I'm' against it" "Okay, do you have reasoning, I'd like to hear?" "I'm against abortion" "Well, see, I'm right in the middle, so you could sway me with just one good argument, so let's see what you got, you can win me over right now!" "I'm, uh, against abortion. That is what we are talking about, right?" "You, sir, are retarded."
Man. I bet Carrot Top could do better. At least he would have props. Yeah, that's right. That's how pathetic they were, Carrot Top could do better. Carrot Top. I would listen to Carrot Top before them. That's pretty sad right there. And that's the truth.
