ALL PROTESTS is WRONG - True or False

reddressman SG

Hi,

This is a Question.

What say u?

How would you intellectually comment on this statement?

100% Protest of any sort is wrong?

Many types of protest :

1. silent protest. Do nothing , which is something.

2. standing there say nothing and wear a t-shirt.

3. staning there do nothing but hold a placard.

4. etc etc...

even children protest to their parents.

All Protests wrong?

Altho I like to accept this idealogy,

I also like to be challenged intellectually, would it be right to say 100% every kind of Protest is Wrong?

Reminds me of the word 'Opposition'.

M'sians dare to take part in street protest but S'porean dare not.They are better than us.

But street protests usually don't show good results and they usually end up clashes with the police.

In S'pore, the govt says gathering can only hold indoors.This is an idea the oppoistion party should take up.But perhaps they have finacial problem to rent a place-- maybe not.Why don't they hold protest gathering indooors?Maybe they are doubtful many ppl would attend.

Perhaps we can just have online petition!

I don't know if they are better than us because they are more brave or they are worse off than us thats why they took to the streets and protested.

Liddat call M'sian ppl better??
Singapore ppl do not rob Singapore ppl. Msian ppl got the guts to rob Spore ppl and their car in Msia. So since they dare, they are better you say? Rolling Eyes

With the illegal gathering law around, who is brave enough to protest in public? Even protesting with toys (odex incidence) can lead to 5 police trucks on standby. Rolling Eyes

My malaysian colleague who is PR , keeps saying to everyone, being PR can already because there is no Strong enough INCENTIVE to lure him to convert.

I wonder is he WAITING and hoping something better will come in his face or is he being sarcastic? hmm....

reddressman SG

I wonder is it considered 'angel' protest when protesters are only young women wearing angel costumes and only smiling at the public, showing them the message on their placard?

How evil and bad thing to do like this right? Mr. Green

Whether something is wrong or right, it depends on your own thinkings. To me, as long as your protests don't disturb people or cause little disturbance, why not?

Another thing - get the point across. Holding protests for so many days and getting nothing done is useless.

HyperFocal SG

Don't you all know why? .....

SG, is the PAP's Golden Rice Bowl!!!

We must always look good, appear peaceful & "transparent", people must be made to fear the "Law", just so the investments keeps pouring in for the good of the government... while we, contend with just scraping by on ever increasing costs....

We're in their Chicken Coop! Don't y'all git it??

Legitimate purposes of a demonstration:

1. To publicise their causes

2. Show of strength -- No. of supporters

If the mass media are willing to report the causes,maybe there would be no need to demo.

Orgainsing a petition campain can show the number of supporters they have too.

So there are alternatives to demo.

What is more powerful? Shaming Burma in public and prodding ASEAN on international news when their PM is in town?

Or hold another panel discussion where everyone has coffee, wonderful scones and nothing is publicised.

Perhaps let's look in between. There's a time for effective closed-door meetings, there's a time for non-traditional ways to prod action to happen. Governments and statist actors would go for the meetings, but Joe Ah Beng are not privileged to attend plenery sessions and quorums, but they are in the public eye.

It's a strategic game. Wink

reddressman SG

I wonder if the decision to allow or not lies with some group of people or 1 single person to nod or the people can influence the decision given this is such a world class democracu?

reddressman SG

Well, what can I say?
THE PEOPLE HAD SPOKEN.

ulquiorra87 SG

Huh a protest simply means you disagree with something and want it to change, by itself it is totally neutral how can there be a right or wrong, its simply an open disagreement

BUT if you go about saying all Protests (even silent) are wrong you are also saying voicing out negative opinions are wrong, and that people must obey all authority unquestioningly be it 'authority' telling us to start a war or to give up the rest of our human rights to be moral that doesn't sound right aint it

ALL PROTESTS is WRONG - True or False

False, because the word 'is' was not conjugated properly

dumbdumb! SG

i just think that there's a difference between protest and riot. lol.

the govt should differentiate the 2 and deal with these 2 issues differently

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Whoever the decision lies with, does it matter? If one person or a group can influence all the decisions make here, then it's not democratic any more.
