I grow something from where you are from, ever eat a Bhut Jolokia? That will put hair on your balls...
Unless you do not think you can write it in a semi professional form. I am a curious soul, but I tend to jump over rambling and veiled threats. I do believe in the system, even though it does not work to good right now.
Through education that can change...
lol"
I'll take that to mean he does not think he can write it in a semi professional form, or has no "proof".
How about the Bhut Jolokia, ever hear of it back home?
Mahatma Gandhi outlined the following rules, in the time when he was leading India in the struggle for Independence from the British Empire:
1.A civil resister (or satyagrahi) will express no anger.
2.One will sometimes suffer the anger of the opponent.
3.In doing so, one will put up with assaults from the opponent, never retaliate; but one will not submit, out of fear of punishment or the like, to any order given in anger.
4.When any person in authority seeks to arrest a civil resister, he will voluntarily submit to the arrest, and he will not resist the attachment or removal of his own property, if any, when it is sought to be confiscated by authorities.
5.If a civil resister has any property in his possession as a trustee, he will refuse to surrender it, even though defending it he might lose his life. He will, however, never retaliate.
6.Retaliation includes swearing and cursing.
7.Therefore a civil resister will never insult his opponent, and therefore also not take part in many of the newly coined cries which are contrary to the spirit of ahimsa.
8.A civil resister may not salute the Union Flag, but he will not insult it or officials, English or Indian.
9.In the course of the struggle if anyone insults an official or commits an assault upon him, a civil resister will protect such official or officials from the insult or attack even at the risk of his life.
You tend to violate 1, 6, 7, 8, and I would really question wether you would comply with 9. Gandhi never wanted what you want. I would still like to see what you got. Without all the capital letters, and zombies (though I do like zombies), cut and pastes ,cowards with no balls, and hamburgers. Are you saying you can't do it, or are you all hype seeking a Che' solution?
Many Americans still love the British (they believe they got some Kingly rape seed in them) by the way, so any anti British things are questionable. Even though we beat them in 2 wars, they still tend to give us orders...
How about them Bhut Jolokia's?
Bhagat Singh and why?

STUDY SOME HISTORY AND LESSONS?

I still preach GANDHI weapon: Hate to see Bloody Civil Unrest but that is where we are heading any way
Zombies will scream on the web only?lol
The obvious FLAW in Silver's argument, as it applies to political protest, is that the potential leader NOT ONLY must be willing to face ridicule but must also be willing to risk his/her own LIFE & LIBERTY. And in fact the more INTENSE the political protest becomes, the MORE this is true. The increasing levels of U.S.governmental lack of accountability & outright ABUSE against its own people (and others) has ALREADY reached a stage that would practically MANDATE violence as the only realistic hope for changing things.
Now take your average American; overweight, over-indebted, soft and ball-less. Sure, they're 'brave' when you slap a uniform on them, provide them with overwhelming fire support and send them half way across the globe to kill some under-armed, ill-trained civilian freedom fighters. But reverse the role and make THEM the under-armed, ill-trained freedom fighters facing off against their own massively equipped armed forces and suddenly American's asses shrivel-uplike a raisin under a scorching sun in the dry desert heat.
And RAISIN-ASSED people are usually NOT inclined towards great acts of COURAGE.
I don't think voting is going to change anything. The political candidates who make it to the primaries are already bought and paid for.
