Allright, even though I started this whole thread, I think it's time to end all this and realize that we all have different opinions about the war, but don't we all agree that we enjoy Futurama?

Nobody is perfect, I've made mistakes, you've made mistakes, etc etc...

Whether you're for or against this war, many have taken things too far. Some anti-war protests have defeated their purpose of their protest by fighting the police, keeping people from living out their lives by blocking daycare centers and other places, and destroying public and private property. THIS is something the troops over in Iraq DO NOT need to hear about, that is partly why the US lost the Vietnam War. The brave men and women over in Iraq need to hear our support, not our dissention. These men and women are making BIG sacrifices so that people like you and me can speak our minds freely. President Bush also needs encouragement and support from us Americans during a time like this NO MATTER IF YOU THINK HE DID THE RIGHT THING OR NOT!

I asmit I was quick to judge TLZ, I apologize for judging them harshly, BUT I still stand by my disagreement with them and my opinions.

To the webmasters at TLZ, you do have a right to post whatever comments you want, but I'm only suggesting that those who disagree with you strongly may no longer visit your site.

So let's end this thread, there are other newsgroups to discuss the war, we need to remind ourselves this is only a Futurama newsgroup. No, I am not telling you to only post Futurama stuff here, post what you want, BUT people come to this newsgroup to read Futurama posts (hence the name of the newsgroup).

That's fair enough, we all have our views.

We were aware of that, but felt that being popular and neutral wasn't an option. It's too easy to just go for visitor numbers rather than make any sort of stand, whether it's small or misguided in some eyes.

Alright, I'll stop here, too. However, do realise that Futurama is a satirical show which doesn't just deal with safe trivia.

That is not the norm, but rather the exception. It is however what makes the headlines because it's more exciting than watching thousands of people march in protest. There has been an element of supposed "anarchists" trying to hijack otherwise peaceful protests beginning with the WTO.

I'd like you to read what you just wrote. It says:

"Don't dissent, because the people who are fighting shouldn't hear about it while their fighting for our right to dissent." So we should only dissent when there is nothing important to dissent?

He needs to know if people disagree with him, don't you think? I mean he is supposed to represent the people, correct?

I'll do my best.

strongly

If you truly are so closed minded and blindly 'patriotic' that you'll refuse to visit someone else's website just because they refer to Bush as a warmonger, then that's just sad.

If this was a current affairs newsgroup I would certainly have more to say on this matter, but as you say let us leave it at this.
