# 2 Counter-Military Recruiting Protest-Boston 8-2-08

[JuErLe359]

Your Welcome. My brothers have died for you to do this. RIP Lcpl Schultz. And why the FUCK do you want to stop the funding. Oh yes, let's not allow are sons and brothers to not get the SAPI plates. Good Idea.I feel this was far more towards not supporting the troops then it was stopping the war. Yes they are saying stop the war. But in front of a recruiting center where young american's want to do what they feel is there patriotic duty.

[voodooy2k]

@JuErLe359 These people are doing what they feel is their patriotic duty as well...

[verynice420]

[lerox22]

hmm a bunch of fat fucking hippies

[InsurrectionaryAct]

The tune thing is effing annoying. why do they have to make it about race?

anyways, while i'm not partiularly concerned with the recruits, (more the innocent people dying abroad,) i would participate in anything that protests the war. Salute.

[Briantino]

Except these people are volunteering their lives so that Iraq can have a democracy of their own and keeping these extremist groups at bay.

They don't decide when the war is over, that is strictly congress and the president... There should never be a reason why you should be protesting the military... take this bullshit to congress if you want to protest the war but dont do it at recruiting centers... that's just not even cool or effective at all.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

You are SO ignorant! My god, do you always listen to what the media tells you this much?

i suggest you watch some videos of Noam Chomsky.

[Briantino]

I'm through with this.

[LuckyLuke86]

How is it that you buying into what Noam Chomsky says is any different from what you accuse Briantinoof doing? The argument that war supporters are brainwashed is as annoying as the argument that war protestors are anti-American. Disagreeing with your preferred propaganda does not make the poster ignorant.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

iraq, a war fought clearly for monetary and/or strategic reasons, not to spread 'freedom or democracy.' And before you give me any stuff about terrorists, please note that the US supported fucking DEATH SQUADS in Latin America as well as other places around the world. Chomsky is a thinker, not propaganda.

any questions?

[LuckyLuke86]

There are people that say Bill O'Reilly is a thinker. I have no doubt that you would disagree with that. The point is that it's a matter of opinion and that you can't assume a person is ignorant for not disagreein with you. There are a lot of smart people who do because their reason leads them to such a conclusion. I didn't say anything about whether we should or shouldn't be in Iraq or about terrorism.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

You can as a matter of fact consider a person ignorant if they disagree with you. i say water is wet, you disagree, you're ignorant. Furthermore, just as water is wet, if a war is fought for the sake of money and global influence, a person is ignorant if they defend it thinking it is because of noble causes, as it is not. it's like supporting what the Nazis did, the only way you could support it is if you agree with them or don't care about the people that were killed-both of which are barbaric.

[voodooy2k]

@InsurrectionaryAct Once Nazis are mentioned the debate has officially ended since the person making that statement probably cannot be reasoned with, also reasoning by analogy i.e. "water" comment, is the absolute weakest form of reasoning. Water and war are not parallels, not to mention your reasoning is flawed as water can freeze and thereby not be wet. You seem to have some trouble accepting that there may be multiple causes to an event. Myopic reasoning is no substitute for good reasoning. 

[voodooy2k]

@InsurrectionaryAct I love Chomsky, but he has his own agenda to further just like all political actors, Goebbels was a thinker to, doesn't mean he was right (please note ironic use of Nazi analogy). Furthermore, U.S. support of death squads in Latin America, is hardly justification for for the intentional deaths of 3,000 innocent people in New York, many of which were not even alive during the time period the U.S. was carrying out these activities.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

Furthermore, this particular poster is as a matter of fact ignorant, and i was not saying so out of the fact that they support the war. They said, 'iraq can have a democracy of their own..." and the simple, proveable truth is that that's not what they're doing or intending to do, though i won't get into the reasons for this.

[LuckyLuke86]

No, what he said was the TROOPS are fighting for those things, and for the most part that is true. I know this because, believe it or not, I am one of them. Water is not always wet. It can be a solid or a gas. See? Not always so clear and simple. This is definitely not that simple. There are "facts" supporting both sides of the argument and individuals decide what to believe.

[InsurrectionaryAct]

how is that ttrue, you imperialist bastard? the governments you are estabilshing in iraq aren't even democratically elected, they're appointed.

man, im must hand it to you, that thing you said about water had to be the comeback of the year. Kudos. However, if i may rephrase that, i meant water in it's liquid form.

[voodooy2k]

@InsurrectionaryAct they are most definitely elected... I was there... I provided security at  the polling stations...

[InsurrectionaryAct]

i agree to an extent, but this is an illegal war that needs to be stopped.

[0129HT]

WE WONT TAKE IT ANYMORE! STOP THE WAR! WOOT!! shut the f*ckup.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Yes!

[angelbe88]

Bravo!!!

[ResearchX]

I salute these people. They are true patriotic Americans.
