Can't stand serial protesters. They'd march for Land Rights For Gay Whales if it meant clashing with cops and graffiting public property.

I agree with your sentiment, except when it comes to gay whales. Homosexual Whales have been oppressed by both fellow whales and human mammals, it's about time they got the land (or sea) they deserve!

Whatta we want, Gay Whale Rights,
When do we want'em, Now!

Under 21 seeing most are at Uni the last 30 years war movies have made war lookadventurous & exciting they haven't been exposed to bombings rationing or loved ones coming home in a box.

Me I'm an old fart of 3o.

Well isn't it ironic that more 'young' people are against the war than for it?

Not surprised that you didn't mention the fact I said on bigfooty.

The reason why I know the horrors of war is by the stories my grandfathers & father have told me & the impact wars have had on their lives even long after the wars ended they all agree that everything should be done to stop there being any more world wars.

Just wondering the majority of posters pro war on here seem to be young could it be that they have never experienced the horrors of war & just heard & seen war glorified by movies & the likes of the RSL.

Yep, I'm 15. Never experienced a war...have you? Have you been in one? Or just seen bits on the news that LOOK like a movie anyway?

I don't want war. I don't want to have to experience it. I feel sorry for the families of the people dying and the pain they are all feeling over there at the moment.

You don't have to be 80 to have compassion.

Yes war is an absolutely stupid idea. We should have just let Hitler do as he pleased.

Hitler started the "shock and awe" campain. That's what he called one of his invasions. Who's also used "shock and awe"? i think George Bush is the one who should be shot. He's the racist, invading ****er on a power trip.

There's too many parallels between the two.

Saw the schoolkids congregating in Victoria Square for their march through Adelaide this week.

What have we got?
A day off school!
When have we got it?
Now!

Yeah, that's a school kids whole aim in life. A day off school. I wanted desperately to go to the last PEACEFUL melbourne rally, but i had maths. So i didn't go. We're able to make choices. If these people didn't want war they wouldn't go.

Don't try to go on about how naive they are. You are the naive one if you really believe we don't know why we are there.

I am thinking Blitzkreig was the term that Hitler's troops used.

Yes, the group of girls squealing and playing what appeared to be chasey before the rally started looked like they had made a very tough decision to attend.

Perhaps I'd be less cynical if they did it on a Saturday.
