    Well, maybe if they sang in tune....




    But in all seriousity...It just takes time, peaceful protests involve a lot of patience and loss... It is awful to think that people can be so evil to kill somebody who literally won't hurt a fly, though :(

    You can't do a peaceful protest, because believe it or not it'll fall on deaf ears unless it helps their agenda for money and more power. You're playing by their rules which were installed for you to fail.

    Here is a very peaceful protest that ended up costing Dow Chemical 2 billion dollars in 2 hours:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiWlvBro9eI"]YouTube - Bhopal Disaster - BBC - The Yes Men

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lScyQYUHLA"]YouTube - The Yes Men - Bhopal results

    Even though this was a scam. It forced Dow Chemical to admit that they are doing nothing. And 300 million people saw that first report that didn't even know or care in the first place.

    Stay Brown,

    Peaceful protests do work. Sometimes peaceful protests are met with violence and thats unfortunate, but not 100% of the time. You can't make a blanket statement like that, especially with the revolutions that are going on around the world. Some have resulted in violence, some have remained successfully peaceful.

    Also, protests that begin peacefully and are met with violence become all the more powerful in the end because when peace is met with violence it does nothing but elevate the cause and make martyrs of the peaceful.

    I'm off to London at the end of the Month for a Protest 'for Jobs -Growth – Justice. 'We are marching for the cause against Public service cuts and the way that privatisation is taking precedence over delivery to the people. When I began in my employment I joined a service, not a business, and whilst I understand there has to be financial issues that need to be balanced against required provision, when business issues over-ride personal service then the consequences will become apparent when those who have made such decisions have moved on – it is a concern of conscience that stirs my passion. It will be quite interesting to see; after quite a while, to see how things may have changed, attitudes; both of the general public and strategic policing – More on my return
    'Power to the People' indeed
    :peace:
