Anyone else doing it? People here are

What an idiot.

No one should get special treatment. I hope everyone that does this gets fired/suspended from school.

Wow, you have no idea how much you disgust me right now. In all honesty, i've got no strong feelings one way or the other regarding this 'walkout' business, but your attitude towards it just invites me to loathe you. Weird.

But enough of that unsightly business. While their hearts are most certainly in the right place, things like this never gain enough momentum to mean anything. Keep in mind a good portion of Americans don't even have internet access, and even more a too stupid to use it.

Oh well. That's your opinion.

[Nuke]

see the problem herein lies in the fact that i get paid to work, noones paying me to protest. seriously, you dont see me out there pickeing agains human existance do you. standing on a soap box urging people to burn down their houses and drink the coolaid. ****, bush is one of the few presidents who would actually launch nukes and start ww3, we should be letting him do his thing. i dont like hippies, lest one of them pays me a minimum of $30 an hour to picket.

[Unknown Target]

Well some people went, not a lot though. The problem here is that since we're a territory, we can't vote, so it doesn't matter anyway. I'm just going to go through the last few classes of the day, myself.

[Ford Prefect]

Meh, I have a Nietzsche exam. That's too much fun to walk out of.

Don't antagonize me Kazan, I don't do it to you (by admin request).

[Taristin]

Im sorry, but I feel that the best way to counter this government is through education, and I see a "walkout day" as a hinderence to that. Nothing is accomplished by missing school, or work, other than endangering your grades or financial future. Bush certainly doesn't care. And he's on his last term anyway, so it's not like he has reelection to worry about.

I really dont see the point in it.

[Unknown Target]

I'm guessing the point of it would be to make the politicians realize that there are a lot of people who don't like Bush and his policies.

The problem is, there's no real "shut them down until we get this" situation, which is what I think it would really take.

Civil disobedience is still disobedience.

[aldo_14]

And disobedience is counter-revolutionary!

[Taristin]

But it isnt disobedience, it's just negligence. And we're only hurting ourselves. Symbolic gestures mean nothing in this society.

[Freespace Freak]

It's not civil disobediance, it's protesting for crying out loud.  About the only people who aren't allowed to participated in protests are miltary personnel and public service workers.

That doesn't work unless you have the image to go with it.

[Ulala]

I'm pretty sure just about everyone knows that there are a lot of people who don't like Bush and his policies.

[redmenace]

But, honestly, walk outs is far better than the kooks that descend on IMF Meetings.

But typically, civil dissadence don't force police to beat the **** out of them. if they do they are practicing police brutality.
