Peace Activists

With all of this talk of impending war, many of us will encounter &quot;Peace Activists&quot; who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror. <br><br>These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette: <br><br>1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian. <br><br>2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose. <br><br>3. When the person gets up off the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful. <br><br>4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them <br>they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying. <br><br>5. Many of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct. <br><br>6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the nose. <br><br>7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making. <br><br>8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost. <br>We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose. <br><br>Lesson over, class dismissed.

Re:Peace Activists

Dave,<br>That is too simple an explanation for the peace activists to understand. Maybe if we get some Hollywood types and do this to them while filming it more people would listen.<br><br>I could think of several celebs that I would like to punch in the nose......<br><br>The good thing is that these types also don't believe in concealed carry. Now who do you want to molest? Somebody who doesn't believe in violence and thinks everyone can be rehabilitated if you just reach out to them - or somebody that might have a friend like Samuel Colt or Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson close to hand?

Re:Peace Activists

Sounds good to me too, although it would probably present a problem for me while in uniform

Re:Peace Activists

Hit them hard enough that they are knocked out.<br><br>Watch them wander around in disbelief and get mad at the nerve of someone doing that too them. The impact of 9/11 took a little while to really set in on how extensive the damage was and is. The activist needs to take a look around.<br>Their little signs didn't stop Saddam from torturing his own people and others etc etc :<br><br>Right between the eyes.<br><br>Scotty steps off his George Foreman Grill since I don't have a soap box.

Re:Peace Activists

;D<br>That's hillarious, but you miss the real point of the demonstrations. They're for everyone to get together, smoke some hash, do some shrooms..... the signs are just to distract &quot;the man&quot;

Re:Peace Activists

I like it, Dave. I laughed when I heard about all those &quot;human shield&quot; volunteers from USA, Canada, etc. backing out when they found out they could not choose what cozy little out of the way elementary school or hospital to protect. Yeah, willing to give your life for peace my a$$! When they were told they'd be in the line of fire...see ya. The accuracy of today's state of the art weaponry is astounding; they knew they'd be safe at schools and hospitals.
