Benguin Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Literally nothing. The whole idea of marching in a street with a sign makes me cringe. If I ever hear myself say something along the lines of "I'm stood hear with a quirky sign with all these great people to try and start a dialogue." I will kill myself. If there was ever something I cared about enough to protest and was unable to protest it naturally I.e avoid it, I would do so outside the scope of the law.

You were not asking me but thought I'd offer my reasoning given that I am not religious in the slightest. I am against Euthanasia as to allow it would set a dangerous precedent. The argument for it picks at low hanging fruit such as people who literally spend every waking second in agony. For me I agree it's unfair to keep them alive against their will. The problem is once you allow it, after lots of time and a slippery slope someone with mild bipolar whose treatment has been seriously mismanaged will be allowed to get euthanized.

I haven't actively protested anything, but I have done charity work/fundraising for animal welfare, cancer, and the Matt Hampson Foundation. At his moment in time, I really don't think I could see myself protesting anything in particular. From personal experience, and from what we are generally seeing currently, the people that tend to protest seem to only see things from one angle and tend to be extreme with that view. Again, from experience of talking/debating/discussing topics with people, I've found that people with an open mind on the subject to hear all sides and take in all considerations or to be open minded enough to re-evaluate their own original standpoint won't protest as they come to the same conclusion that the people doing so are more of then than not, entrenched in their view. It can be the case that people are blinded by their passion and therefore not open to constructive discussion, one of the greatest losses that i feel we have in society at the moment is the inability to "discuss" anything, we seem to have been trained to have one point and not to deviate from it. Basically "wedge politics" you are either with us, or against us... its a sad situation. Also "the correct fashion" is a tricky one, there is currently a protest in Perth about some bushland being destroyed (im not involved and have mixed feelings about it) however, some people are chaining themselves to equipment and breaking into equipment yards. Now, this is "illegal" but given the government are sending in hundreds of police and police horses to trample and block "peaceful" protesters i can understand the protesters behaviour. Sometimes illegal is the only option.
boots60 Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Protested on the street many a time. Usually after getting slung out of the boozer.
