people don\'t want to think anymore, they want everything handed to them on a platter

we\'ve become like children

Well, you don\'t see me not longer crapping because the war began.

Whether it will do something or not, at least it shows that we are out there.  Besides, what else should I do?  I have to do something.  Just sitting around as something like this happens wouldn\'t feel right.

you wanna do something?

grab a book, sit near a window, and read

if you REALLY wanna do something, get involved in politics

dont just stand in the crowd and chant slogans, get down on the field

No, but check it

Every Wendsday the same anti-war protesters always sit at this corner of the federal building protesting anti war. Its hilarious, their signs make no sense; \'\'Support our Troops in fighting!!" then right below it it says "No War".... :rolleyes:

They always trying handing out papers to us too. I just tell them to back off. Seriously, it is human instinct to fight. It always will be. I mean- would you rather wait until he bombs us? Then we have to go through the whole 9-11 thing again? Or lemme guess- great Saddam has a personality?

I say, they have little intelligence. I dont like war, trust me on this, my brother is an enlisted marine being sent out in a few days I believe. I do not want him to, but he decided to defend our country a long time ago. I respect him for that, very much so, and even though war should be prevented if possible, sometimes it is vital for things to stop before it gets any worse. I am glad to know that the war is possibly ending soon.

But if everyone does that then there is no crowd.  That would only be worse, not better.

and what do we need a crowd for?

Musicians making songs about political issues is not usualy done to sell records, sure, there are people who obviously have no idea what they are talking about (Fred Durst) but, a good portion of celebirtys do have valid views on political topics, and I\'d rather hear a song about war then a song about some idiots singing about being in high school.

To show that we\'re there.

there for what?

To have a differing opinion from that being expressed by our government.

sorry, im not seeing where yer going with this

I just think that it is good to show that the views and actions of your government do not represent your own, especially in such extreme situations.  By taking action in this way, if nothing else, you can show people that there are differing opinions on the issue, and that in some cases they are strong enough to move people to action, no matter what that action is.  Whether it makes a real difference or not, I like to know that our views are being expressed in some way.
