Peaceful sit-in of Wollongong University's Defence Material Technology Centre

Wars are not caused by aggessive behaviour. They are caused by cold, rational bureaucrats who calmly and meticulously plan the slaughter of millions. Watch The Fog or War to see how this plays out. This is an aggressive *system* run by a "technocratic elite" (Eisenhower) that doesn't want you to be emotional or have any opinions at all, the better to control you. Ghandi said: "The State can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its existence."

Oh dear hit a raw nerve have we...I see you result to foul language...mature!...Is it not this type of aggressive behaviour that starts wars...?? Now concentrate on your studies...and do us all a favour...get your facts straight!!! Full stop!

This is awesome, you guys rock! Shocking that UOW would conduct weapons research for the military. Shame!

@ thesesman, you are hilarious, "the uni is conducting research into metals not weapons", cos weapons aren't made of metal are they?! LMAO And their occupation looked just like the occupation of Palestine, the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. with entire societies ruined and devestated. The joke's on you, you dickhead!

agreed what a bunch of morons...don't you need to gather facts correctly to write a thesis......no hope for these guys!!!

[thesesman]

To protest against what you call 'wars and occupation' you stage an occupation. The uni is conducting research into metals not weapons, if you bother to read the posters outside the office you'd know that. A pointless protest that will be forgotten about in a week. You guys are a joke.

Ah dear.

As much as I abhor the politics of war, occuying this poor guy's office really does nothing for your cause and as a result I was unable to reach my lecturer to hand in an assignment. Thank you very much.

If you need a revolution to make yourselves heard, do it em masse, and organise an effective strategy, take FACTS to the argument, build a groundswell of supporters, don't just hinder professors, it ONLY serves to perpetuate the 'annoying student whinger' stereotype we all suffer from.
