Read this today, thought I'd share-

With all of this talk of war, many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror.


These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.


2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose.


3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.


4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.


5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.


6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the nose.


7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.

My remarks-
If we take a passive approach towards terrorism, and those who support terror, it only gives them more time to figure out how to make our nose bloody again.

edit- I should add that I am in no way a violent person, and would not suggest this tactic be used on anyone, but it sure makes a good point.

I like to shoot a flare gun at them. Tear gas always works too.

Great ideas!!! I'm goin out to look for some peace activists now!!!

I have found that if you have an opposing point of view they get very angry.

Yeah, I've noticed both sides aren't very interested in what the other side has to say. Of course, if somebody socked me for excercising my First Amendment rights, I'd have to exercise my Second Amendment rights and leave a hole in them big enough tp pass a scud missile through.

My recommendation would be to ignore them. That way, they're sure not to bother you.

New thread idea:

War mongers and how to deal with them...


1) Turn the other cheek.

h2o, I will turn them both cheeks and tell them to kiss em!!!


"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who provides the freedom which allows the protester to burn the flag."!

So Sky guy and easy limit, freedom of speech is only a good thing if someones view is the same as yours? With all the tough talk , I doubt if either of you could lick a postage stamp.

If done correctly the first time steps 2 & 5 will not be necessary, then move on to the next,

Oh I dunno, I've met EasyLimits once, and i think he probably could lick a postage stamp!

Not really sure that I am for the War but there is nothing more irritating then a peace activist blocking traffic. Say what you want, but interfere with my commute and I will run you over
Now of course that last statement was the way I fantasize about handling the situation

In reality it would just take me longer to get home

Using your first amendment right is ok if, you have a ****ing clue what you are talking about.

Most of the protesters are out there not because they are protesteing the war, but because protesting in the "cool" thing to do. Just look at the W.T.O. riots and the bull**** that happened last May Day.

Granted there are some people who are standing up for what they believe in. Theses people are not the ones who are causing trouble and breaking any laws. I respect these people. The rest, well, they need reallity check up side the head.

Lets see, if I understand this thread, you are advocating violence against American citizens for having a different political view than yours. Sounds terribly familiar. Is this happening somewhere else in the world? Don't confuse liberals with pacifists. Some of us can and will defend ourselves and our family from self-righteous bully's.

LOL Antie M you slay me.

I am with Steve on this one. Easy and I have fished together... It would have to be one brave stamp!


Downriggin'

I kinda lean toward the double barreled flare gun idea.....or was that a tracer?

People can protest all they want. Many of the protests I have seen on the news end up with a crowd purposely blocking a street or bridge with heavy traffic. That's bogus in my book

Ya I have frequently thought the same thing about anti abortionists blocking people from going about their LEGAL buisness. Id really like to go and introduce their teeth to their tonsils for impeding people.

Lead Thrower
The thread was not a discussion of protesters blocking streets! Any unlawful act should not be tolerated. This has to do with violence against Americans. Easy is going to shoot flares and tear gas? I know it was all in fun, just a joke..............lost the humor when I heard the body count. I have family in the military and I support the troops, but quit pounding on your chests and dragging your knuckles.

I'd bet mpst of the so called peace Activists are pro-abortion. 40,000,000 American babies killed since 1975. No wonder Social Security is going broke.
