What the hell are you people talking about? Do you even know why they’re doing this? In many ways violent protest is important, think about woman’s rights, there’s no way they would have succeeded if they didn’t make a real stand. racial equality, if it was a few people saying “Please Mr, I don’t think this is right” fuck all would happen. They’re not just thugs. It’s important to realise that these people are anarchists, that doesn’t mean they’re mislead kids “fucking the system” they’re fighting a cause that the strongly believe in, and can justify. They oppose having their lives dictated by another, and they oppose the corporations having all the money while people are starving, so let them smash a few windows, that’s the least the greedy companies deserve. It’s clear to me that many of you can’t justify your arguments, just saying “them damn liberals, they don’t appreciate anything!”. I’m sure you’ve been taught that this system is as good as it gets since you were a child, so it isn’t a surprise when you see people who have a different opinion you see them as the enemy. of course, I’m making many assumptions about “you” but it is true for many.

no, because she is opposed to the Principal agressor…violence is a relative term in our relative(read: bullshit!) western society…what a Christian considers violent, a secularist considers as harmless entertainment; what a Christian considers as sacrifice, a secularist considers as suicide…where do you wanna hide now

Did you miss this one, know-it-all:
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible (sorry, the peace, love generation has demonstrated this truth), make violent revolution inevitable.
In retro, judging from corporate cock-suck-of-a-comment, you probably did.

The way it “solves anything” is that it solicits opinions like yours. You yourself just said “I don’t care about the Olympics”.

The politicians think that 90% of people DO care about the Olympics. So they are spending 90% of their budget on promoting the olympics and making sure they happen without a hitch.

The result is that they ignore the poor, the down trodden. Just before the olympics started, the BC government announced cuts in healthcare and education.

When given a choice, I think most Canadians would choose more nurses, doctors, and education for their kids, over a 10 day olympics celebration.

But instead the government has taken the wrong turn and is making their rich friends (who finance the politicians campaigns) richer by giving them contracts to build olympics venues. It’s really taking money out of the mouth of unborn children and weakening our schools. For what reason? for a 10 day party?

Anyways, To answer your question, people getting arrested, getting attention, rabble rousing, starts the conversation. People that normally wouldn’t talk about it now are talking about it. The more there is awareness, the more (hopefully) things can change.

Unfortunately, judging by all the blind brain washed retarded responses on this site (like “just tazer them all”), it’s pretty sad to know that most people don’t care about the facts and just want to party and drink beer.

Lumpen.

Alright. I don’t really care about the Olympics. I also understand that places that host the Olympics end up with a lot of debt.
I do not understand how going about breaking windows solves anything.

Someone?
