You've posted this, but you don't seem inclined to defend it, one might ask what the point was? Isaac Send a noteboard - 21/11/2011 05:16:13 PM
There's around 30 replies to this, the friendliest of which might be called 'lukewarm' at best, and in your own profile you go out of your way to make clear you are part of the Occupy movement. Yet you don't seem interested in justifying anything in this post that others have objected to, basically a hit-n-run post. You've got 30 replies and you've got a sequel thread by another openly mocking this one with even more and you haven't said anything at all.

Now considering that one of the major objections expressed about Occupy is that its members have no coherent platform or logical and debatable goals, you're only reinforcing that viewpoint by having basically come in with a megaphone, shouted your piece, then left. Why should we care to adjust our views about the Occupy movement if one of its own members can't be bothered to provide clarifications but rather just resorts fire-and-forget flame posts? You have probably, single-handedly, damaged your own movement with this single post more than any good you may have done your cause standing out in the cold, especially if this is representative of your style.

Declaring people "enemy combatants" means they get to treat you as such too. - 20/11/2011 01:55:51 PM 684 Views

That's the problem with a two-party system: it's practically impossible to form a new party. *NM* - 20/11/2011 05:42:39 PM 297 Views

I agree with that. However, many seem to think that means it's OK to beat them up. - 20/11/2011 06:21:05 PM 724 Views
Only if they resist arrest, and then the force must be proportionate. *NM* - 20/11/2011 09:52:39 PM 311 Views
If they resist a lawful arrest, sure. *NM* - 21/11/2011 11:11:11 AM 310 Views
they are breaking the law so it is lawful to arrest them *NM* - 21/11/2011 10:46:18 PM 307 Views
In what way? - 22/11/2011 09:12:01 AM 694 Views
