That�s even funnier! Now protestors doing stupid, disruptive, very potentially harmful to others things(and completly at random, not against anyone actually responcible) has somehow reached a level of parity with Gandhi! HAHAHA!
I won�t even get into the fact that people marching for Civil Rights in the 50�s and 60�s conducted themselves with the utmost of dignity as far as all records show. And �As-If� in either of these bizzaro comparisons the actual causes involved carry the same weight or are in any way on the same level of importance. Puh-lease. (Reality check on aisle 13 please.)
It seems some people will excuse *anything* rather than just admit, (ala the example given my Kitschy) that there are often things done in the name of a �cause� that do nothing to further it.
I don�t think anyone defending (beyond all logic) the protestors has any room to call up the �because you agree with them� argument. That�s of course the ONLY reason anyone would defend obvious stupidity in this case. "Because you agree with them." What�s the deal with trying to turn that around?
Gandhi even!
Too damn funny!
