What is your general opinion of Protesters ?

Question

I am not talking about teenagers and people looking to start anarchy but legitimate protests.

Yes they do get ugly sometimes either because people are fed up or because police instigate things but all in all what comes to your mind when you see protests on the news.

Answer 1

Sure?

What protesters?

Sure?

Not the alley cats?

After being hit hard on the head with the Book of the Dead of failures and horrors of the past from the graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom as cheap-skate glory and success of National Education that back-fired  in time.

Being mass produced and rolled off from faulty production lines as cheap-skate glory and success of National Identity.

With the alley cats coming after and ripping off the men who would be king with crown of thorns and two empty hands with two balls for "Reincarnating" the dead Mummy all risen up from the graveyards of failures and horrors of the past from someone else graveyards as Son of a dirty old man of a Rudeness Tribe in kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God but idol worshiping the dead Mummy in messing up someone else graveyards in own backyards with self lack of knowledge being expose in time in the land of idol worshippers.

With living examples in Thailand and Latin America  in front of the TV news reels and in prints too.

What do you think?

Answer 2

While I support the right of speech, I also think I have a right not to listen.  Personally every protester I have encountered ( its been a few ) have all gotten upset when I just ignored them or walked away.  Its your right to protest but the loony fringe has taken all credability from those that do it for a purpose other than personal attention

Answer 3

Alot of times people do gather together to make noise and look like they are doing something when in fact they are not. Real change is made in concrete actions- walking around chanting lame slogans does nothing but get people annoyed because "these dumbasses are making me late for work walking in the street."  To make real change you 1)Vote 2) Call and write congressmen 3)Boycott 4)If you march- march between cities or across a state (10-20 block walks don't do anything but tie up traffic).

Answer 4

I have respect for anybody passionate enough about something to stand up and make some noise. Even if I don't agree with what they're protesting, assuming it doesn't bring pain and destruction to others, I think it's part of the beauty of being American and living in a country that it's ok to have different beliefs and ideas.

Answer 5

If they're respectful of other people's rights, and appear knowledgable about thier subject, I'm generally happy to listen to them.

If they're disrespectful of others, or just spouting off slogans, I try not to make fun of them... but I usually fail.

Answer 6

Generally negative. But its mostly because of the leftists, teenage punks, and whiny hippies.

If I saw normal and decent people, I'd be much kinder. But when you see  anarchists and hooligans rioting, you jump for joy when the tear gas comes out.

Answer 7

They have a constitutional right, more power to them. It may be me sometime so I must protect them when they do. The U.S. was founded by protesters.

Answer 8

when i saw reporters asking them to tell them why they were protesting and who.some ignored them and others didn't have a clue what policies or who made them.they look pathetic and really stupid.but as a american,i support their right to free speech even though i don't like it!

Answer 9

In general, I think peaceful protest to call attention to a wrong

is a civic duty.

My opinion of any specific protest depends on whether

I agree with it or not.
