Have you ever been oppressed? Kept down?

[tk2kewl]

Not given opportunities while the kids on the other side of town have everything handed to them?

And then, after generations of that, had your government turn its back on you in your most desperate time of need? While your family fights for its survival?

I could see someone very easily thinking taking a TV was the justice they were owed.

1. During the 2000 recount.

I got arrested for "inciting a riot" while BOTH sides (Dems and repugs) cheered the jackboots on. :( :( (A few friends and I (all Dems) dressed in business suits and had Republicans FOR a Recount signs. Neither side wanted us with them. Jackboots moved on us.)

5. Interestingly the "Brooks Brothers Riot" went largely unchecked. n/t

6. Those are the kids across town I'm talking about

2. I'm female. Rhetorical question.

3. If you loot some TVs will you get one for me?

I'll forgive you :)

4. Gay...we get it all the time.

The government doesn't turn its back on us (they are afraid what we might do...as if!), they just shut us out.

7. Dose religous intolerance count?

The catholic church wouldn't confirm me so that I could become a deacon because I refused to take pictures of women entering abortion clinics. I guess they wanted to plaster these woman all over the internet to either fire up the loonies or scarlet letter the patient.
When I refused they refused my confirmation and i was so devastated I couldn't speak for three days and had a mini stroke.

8. They will trade a TV for food, water and a shower.

Guaranteed.

They'll trade in their guns too.

Eventually.
