RNC Pics

oh make sure bearmagnet, you check out the Boobs aganist Bush pic. I took it with you in mind.”

“LIES! ALL LIES!!”

“mapleleef, you are rotten!!!

Nice pictures....

I love New York.....

Out with Dubya!!!”

“oh I forgot,

I got hit in the elbow by a cops gun. So he let us on the subway for free. Then I got bit by a cops horse. OUCH”

“Democrats are horrible dressers. You would at least think they gay contingent would have a good dresser or two in the crowd.

*pets his Kenneth Coles*”

“DeoreDx wears designer suits in 90 degree, humid weather?

No thanks!!”

“Who said you have to wear a suit to be well dressed and presentable? Horribly out of date prints, non-coordinating colors, people dressed like they were in a Sex Pistols video, offensive lauguage on tee shirts, etc.”

“What the fluck is a Kenneth Coles???”

“It's a freakin' protest, ferchrissakes! Not a fashion show. If they were dressed well, what other 'major point' would you pick them apart for?”

“Bad grooming.”

“No pix of RNC, only protesters.

Particularly liked #10 the Socialist Party.”

“Great pics! I haven't seen so many pot bellied, socialist hippies in along time.”

LOL thats what I was thinking, but I heard on the news some were in buildings watching the march.”

“The "My idea of grooming is having my mate pick the fleas from my hair" look is in this year at the RNC protests.”

“..and the "my idea of a shower is more patchouli oil". Don't forget the patchouli!”

“All kidding aside.
People bearing crude slogans, wearing missle phalluses, and assorted other fringe elements that your average American turns off from harms the effectiveness of the delivery of the message.”

“You're right, HPM! Crudeness like that belongs in one place! The Senate floor!!!”

“Patchouli! lol.”

“mabe I should have put a

WARNING YOU NEED TO HAVE A SENCE OF HUMOR TO VIEW THE FOLLOWING PICS.”

“~sigh~
No TB not there either.”

“Don't hold yer breath here, Maple!”

“Actually I was being serious and my sense of humor is quite twisted thank you.

TB, you don't see my point?”

“Great pics! I haven't seen so many pot bellied, socialist hippies in along time

LOL - that's what I was thinking. What a bunch of lardasses.

Although I would add the phrase "Useful Idiots" to your description, Manuka.”

“I see your point, HPM. And, right now, it's a polarized country. Those are some pretty fed up folks out there, whether you agree with them or not. Protest marches get pretty heated up. I still commend these folks for acting in a civilized fashion in 90 degree heat and considering the levels of emotions that I, first hand, felt out there. Hey, the messages got a little crude for your taste? I will respect that, but understand the nature of the beast.”

“mmm interesting that my thread in no longer a chatter thread.”

“Umm...no that wasn't my point at all. And weather I agree with the message or not has not been stated and is irrelevant to the discussion.

My only point is that in order to for a message to reach more people and stick, (regardless the message) the tone and delivery needs to not be outrageous. Otherwise you are guaranteed to be dismissed as evidenced above. Granted some folks will never be open to the message.”

“I took the pics.
I only took the ones that IIII thought were funnie. No getting down on tree for it.

there were many things that I found upstting, like the 1000 coffins at the end of the march. enough said.”

“I fail to see how I am getting down on anyone. It certainly isn't my intention.

Allright, nevermind. I guess untill November anything mentioned about anything remotely related political is going to be assumed as an attack rather than an attempt at civil discourse.

There are a few of us here that aren't raging partisans.”

“I'm not saying it's right, but I will maintain that the idea of a little shock value is nothing new in getting a message across. Hell, the Bush and Kerry campaigns are subscribing to this every day, just as the Swift kick the ass Veterans are also. Gentle messages are passe. Again, I am not pleased with the fact that society has become like this. But, negativity is rampant. And, it sells. So, why is anyone surprised that there are negative messages at this march?”

“HPM, I'm with ya. Any innocent comment and you're raining on someones parade, literally.

The way I interpretted his comment was that if they look like a bunch of freaks then middle America will likely react against that look.”

“Is there a point hidden in there somewhere, DH?”

“...when you acknowledge the negative notions in our society, then you allow for it's existence...however...if you ignore it or stand up and say "I don't like this" then it struggles to survive. This is how moral breakdown occurs. The antidote lies within the truth and if it isn't right...then one is obligated to stand against it otherwise they are simply a shallow transparent personality without integrity.”

“I guess HPM is right. Yall don't get his point.”

“I already told you that I am not defending it. Matter of fact, I denounced the tendency towards negativity. If you look at the pics and resist the temptation to just make fun of us (note the negativity of the comments above despite the fact that the march was conducted in a compeletly law abiding way), you will also notice that I am not carrying anythig that can be deemed negative. I practiced what I preached. You are giving me too much power, ny friend. All I said was that this is the nature of the beast. i was not defending it. Please re-read...”

“No, DH. I got hi loud and clear. My question was towards you and how you derived your interpretation...”

“and you can feel free to talk to me directly, rather than in the third person. I do not bite...”

“yes he does. run for your livers!”

“put up your ducks.”

“My only point was that HPM wasn't directly attacking anyone and just making an observation. I guess that's all I was doing too. I certainly wasn't trying to debate any point or issue.”

“Thank you. And i felt that I was simply repsonding to HPM in a discussion format. HPM happens to be a fellow scout leader that I respect and would be happy to meet some day...”

“Dayhiker works in construction. Constuction uses staple guns. I see bad things happeneing in the near future.”

“He wouldn't dare! If he points that at me, I am going to call upon Nigal's disgruntled cop friend!”

“OMG your all to punnie!

the staple may not be able to go into the metal plate in trees head!”

“Hey, enough about the metal plate. Next thing you know, Deore will be up here in a K. Cole suit with a big magnet dragging my ass all over town!”

“K. Cole is just for the shoes mate. Joes.A.Banks or Brooks Bros for the suits ;)”

“Oh sorry, man!

Geez, I have been in t-shirts too long!”

“who is K Cole?”

“I believe I've been working too much on too little sleep. I'll try to just keep my mouth shut for the rest of they day. I'm 2 for 2 today and it's not even noon.”

“Kenneth Cole. He's the designer that uses all those deformed looking pretty boys in his ads on the subways!”

“...I am very disapointed!!! Where the heck is YOUR sign? Your costum?

You could've at least demonstrated nekkid...for gods sake...you are demonstrating not taking a walk in the park!!!”
