No, you suck.

Your posts in this forum are useless. You're just mad at being called a hypocrite by Gray. Newsflash: you are one.

Of course he is a pussy.

But I can't say I blame him.

It certainly is easier to sit and quarterback this bitch from behind his computer screen. And it's certainly more fun than getting shot at in Iraq.

Other than post on internet forums, what actions have you taken against the war? I see a lot of liberals calling supporters of the war hypocrites because they aren't in Iraq, but they are taking the same amount of action as the people they are criticizing.

I was in NYC on February 15, 2003, at the biggest US antiwar demonstration of them all.

I was one of those estimated 500,000 people.

Very nice hand.

Would you happen to have on hand a list of things that demonstrations like that affect? Don't take this post as me implying that those demonstrations are a waste or not. I will gladly admit I don't know. I am genuinely curious as to their affect. And unlike most people on this forum, I can be convinced that I'm wrong, so your words won't be wasted.

I know it's a form of advertisement with the media coverage it gets. But has there ever been a study that would show how the size/location of rally relates to how many people have changed their opinion on the subject because of it? How many votes it sways?
