Are they that uncivil?

[turtlespeed 212]

I was speaking to my grandfather the other night and heard on the news that NYC has said that they would offer discounts, and special money saving opportunities to the protesters at the RNC if they were civil and didn't riot.

WTF?

Why would this even need to be an issue?

Can the protesters not hold their own speeches on peace and tranquility to their own hearts?

Are they THAT uncivilized?

This is one of the instances where I favour the stick over the carrot.

Because it can be made an issue, and that's good for the GOP.

WAR is uncivil. Maybe an uncivil protest against a greater incivility is warranted.

Right, let's just have another Seattle. I might be warranted.

So just so we are in the same book here. . . You are for violence to prove a point, yet, not when it doesn't agree with your political views.

That's a pretty ridiculous notion. It quite boils down to "two wrongs make a right." Is that the new Democrat protesters' slogan?

Let's smash shop windows to demonstrate against the evils of war. Let's attack the police who are trying to keep the peace as a show of opposition to U.S. action in Iraq. Who knows, maybe a demonstration of lack of self-control, and hypocrisy, is warranted?

Maybe he's been reading the PETA website...

Maybe he's been taking notes while watching "Rosie."

Saddam Hussein was wrong for the way he ruled.

We were wrong for invading that country and killing thousands of people.

We're way past 2 wrongs. Definitely in the double digits at least.

Dude, I made him big when I was twelve years old watching Knight Rider!! I did nothing to help him out once I was old enough to know better.

In answer to question two, I'd offer "Europeans have questionable taste!"
