Trump protesters

Just seen a video of groups of protesters in America attempting to block traffic and getting really pissed off when the cars don't slow down and they/their pals get hurt. This must truly be surivival of the fittest and its finest!

@mummymeister

Leave it! They ain't wurfit!

No seriously. You can't argue with stupid

Foxysoxy01 · 31/01/2017 13:01

Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pidgeon. It'll just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut about like it's won anyway.
Much like trying to have a reasonable conversation with CodyAndTheCups.

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 31/01/2017 13:06

when you have people deciding who should and shouldn't be run over based on what YOU think that isn't a democracy

As far as I know I'm not president of anything, and my opinion is irrelevant to democracy.
If you can tell me how my opinion influences democracy in anyway, that'd be cool.

Don't fall for it mummymiester!

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 31/01/2017 13:27

Go on, try. It's not by voting, since I am not american and can't influence THEIR democracy in that way. And I'm not British, so I can't influence that one.

Do tell me how my opinion that Trump should be repeatedly run over by a very large car can influence anything. I'm agog.

RortyCrankle · 31/01/2017 14:02

Well they are obviously idiots with a collective brain cell total of about 3. Standing in front of a moving car = injury or death - their choice obviously. You can't argue with stupid.

mummymeister · 31/01/2017 14:07

Thanks sanscomic bit too busy with work today to help Narky with their politics essay so I will indeed leave it.

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 31/01/2017 14:08

You'll leave it because you can;t answer how a thought in one persons mind affects global democracy.
You know why you can't, don't you?

mummymeister · 31/01/2017 14:24

Nope. still not biting Narky. you will have to do better than that.

Exactly rorty, stand in front of moving traffic and quite frankly you deserve to get hit

What utter dicks. Look forward to seeing you test your driving theories in a U.K. Court. You'll give everyone a laugh - especially the judge when he bangs you up

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 31/01/2017 20:19

I know you won't bite, you don't have any answer!

ilovesooty · 31/01/2017 20:24

Perhaps that suffragette who ran onto the racecourse deserved to be killed as well...

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 31/01/2017 20:26

An awful lot of people did say so at that time.

Foxysoxy01 · 31/01/2017 20:27

Sooty,
Well of course she did! Bloody stupid idiot to run in front of moving horses just for her beliefs. (Obviously that's sarcasm for the benefit of the OP)
FFS!

I don't care if people want to protest. But what I do hate is when people do it with no consideration for others who just want to get on with their lives and get to where they need to. I had to drive through my city last night, on my way home from work, but encountered a few hundred anti-Trump protesters. Obviously they have every right to peacefully protest, but I just wanted to get home after a manic day at work, to have tea, spend a bit of family time, wind down with a glass (bottle!) of wine, but instead I was in gridlocked traffic for over an hour. Protest as much as you want, but have some consideration for others.
