They're trying to raise awareness [wagon]. You don't have to pay attention to them. I disagree with you, should I tell you to GTFO TIF?

No I can't, its up to the admins and mods to decide that. Much like it is up to the government/whatever to decide if these protestors can do this. Not some punk kid.

Yay more ignorant people in TIF. ^Read the post above me^

Wanna get them out? Urge your govnuh to help bring peace in Sri Lanka.

In civilized countries we call that blackmail.

They're ruining our public transit. Actually, I do have to pay attention to them, because they're everywhere where I work and blocking our highways.

Hmmm, causing people to be late or unable to go into work for the day vs people being killed...Personally I think this is a great idea to get more attention to their cause, sadly I doubt anything will happen

1. It's not blackmail if you don't hold something over their head.

2. Why wouldn't you try to go for peace?

Seriously, they're protesting for a reason, and in this case it's a damn good one.

Its not blackmail if you start a petition.

And if these protestors were causing too much trouble ad delays etc... wouldn't the local police force have dealt with them?

Bloodstain, you speak the truth. Sure, I'd hate to be late for work, if I were working, but hell, its not like I can get fired because of mass delays caused by people. If I were to be late for work, in exchange for even one person to survive, it would be worthwhile. While it is a hassle to people, it does help get attention where it is needed.

Why in the hell should I care about what's happening in Canada? Or America? Or anywhere else that isn't friggin' Scotland?

You can ignore them, you choose not to and get pissy about it. Besides, these protestors are getting the message of what is happening across better than any news station.

This was all I needed to hear to confirm that you are infact, Hitler with interwebz.

Robert reminds me so much of Mlb of past...now he hardly posts/makes stupid threads. All we gotta do is wait, people.

I know quite a few people involved in the protests. So far, I've generally been agreeing with them. However, not that the protest has blocked off the Gardiner (Assuming that CityNews only serves Toronto), that's where they crossed the line. Before, it was a peaceful protest that effects no one. Now, they are blocking off major transportation routes. The one thing I'm worried about though is whether the protesters let emergency vehicles (Ambulances and firetrucks) through their crowd. I agree with the protesters on the grounds that the civil war in Sri Lanka needs to stop, but don't like how they are calling an overall death toll of 80,000 (For both sides) a genocide.

Before this thing is called a genocide, how about calling the Rwanda massacres a genocide, or how about what happened in Armenia? Maybe even governments could stop it before something happens that we might be calling it a genocide.

It's interesting how none of you reply with logic. Just insults.

Sworddude, you don't have to care. Good luck in a world without the USA, though.

This attitude is why other countries hate us :roll:

Also, we all posted our thoughts. We're going to insults now because you refuse to hear our logic.

Yeah, the dollar is pretty weak at the moment IIRC, and hell, without America, would we have had the war in Iraq? Oh wait, they didn't even help out in WW2 really until the Japanese attacked.

I'd be more worried about a world without China, Taiwan and such. The places where most of our modern things are made. Hell, as a gamer, and as a person who enjoys anime/manga, I'd dread a world without Japan.

Face it, America is not the best country in the world. Though for Mage_Man, I could do with a world without you drunken Aussies, or just about anyone who realises where this comes from, and why it is a joke.

You mean the logic of "Help them, it's the right thing to do?"

That's not logic. That's a desperate plea. I'm not saying we should ignore them, I just don't think it's worth deploying Armed Forces there. I'm fine with offering free passage into Canada for refugees, or starting a refugee fund, but I don't want to put our troops there.

Woah, we are not the best, but don't go and act like we're the worst. The Iraq war has saved many lives (though for christs sake its time to leave), and we sent supplies during WWII.

Yeah, but since when do we really get a say in where our troops actually go?

Alot of people wanted troops out of Iraq years ago. But it didn't happen.

Dizzle, I'm not saying America is the worst. That belongs to North Korea. I'm just saying that if America was not to exsist, then the world wouldn't stop spinning.

If your family was in Sri Lanka right now, and one member was killed, would that be what it takes to make you care? You have every right to not care. You have every right to be angry about the protests, but I find it a bit selfish to feel that these protests are useless, should not be happening, and that anyone involved in them should just GTFO of Toronto. These protests are a nuisance, but it's not the end of the world.

Also, supporting the protests will in fact end them sooner. I sincerely doubt this group will stop their protests until something is done. The more support the protest has, the more pressure for the government to act.

What do you expect when you make such insensitive remarks with your only justification being that the protesters inconvenience you?

Right back atcha Mr. de Sable.

A world without America would just pick somebody else as a Superpower. We'll be bashing Germany if it became the super power instead of us.

(and some of us burning in their ovens, depending what time period we're talkin' about.)

EDIT: Bloody hell, this phpBB 3.0 "New posts have been added. You may wish to read this to change your insight" is irritating.

I actually somewhat agree with that. Seems like in the last 10 years this is becoming less and less like a Democracy that we spent the last century trying to bring the world to.

Seriously, in WWII we were the worlds most kickass country, destorying the axis with the help of UK (and Canada too, for some reason), and then helping the countried get back on their feet. We were great.

NOW WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG BETWEEN THEN AND NOW???
