Subsonic Has nothing to do with right to assemble, nor freedom of speech. It (protests) are a total waste of money (ours and theirs) and a disruption of life for almost all of us. Protests come in a lot of forms, and always costs. Money and integrity of our country as others see us/laugh at us. (yes, it's how I feel they do)

Have you not watched TV the past 3 years?? A lot of people have gone to prison for 'protesting'. And the Constitutional defenders sent them there. As they well should have. Actually....they should have been hanged.

      Subsonic I haven't watched any myself for over a year. When it got to about the 6 yr. mark of all the bullshit, I quit.
      I should protest....they still are not done.

        Par4QC Are those bad things? We send people to prison for writing bad checks. Sometimes, for life!! 1 of just many examples of our stupid systems.

        And, what are protestors? What do they do?

        We all read/watch/listen to the news. Do they think we do not know what is going on/has gone on in our country?
        In 20+ years what have they done for the good of our lives?

        Thus, they are worthless & troublesome. And the last part costs us all, not just the country. No country needs protestors; people are not stupid, as a whole.
        So, hang 'em!!
        jmo😲😉

        Yup, public hangings and imprisoning people for protesting are bad things. 🙄 The list is very long on what (good) protests have done for the country starting with the Boston Tea Party.

        Bottom line the right to protest is essential in a democracy. Not so much in an autocracy. Not so sure about people not being stupid. lol

        In case you ever want to protest here's some guidelines. lol

            So right. I hardly ever pay taxes when I breathe fresh air....outside only, btw.
            You cannot take a shit without paying taxes. Think about it. Unless you do it in the woods. And no one sees you.

                Par4QC Where I live they turned to fees so they can remind us before elections, they lowered/did not raise taxes. Believe your example requires a fee--paid in advance. Thank you very much.

                    Bravopilot Ahhh, yes. Big diff.....taxes vs. 'fees'. I forgot. Fees are why taxes are so low, makes perfect sense.

                      johnnydoom Their own countries have no sanctions against the Saudi Arabia. Not sure why the golfers would, or should, be held to a higher standard than their own governments have. It's their right to protest though, and I'm sure they are being compensated in some way for it.

                      This exactly.

                        Eguller How long will it be before the 3000+ US citizens murdered, mostly by Saudi nationals

                        Maybe I'm just not remembering but is there ANY evidence that the Saudi state was involved in 911 and not just some of their citizens? I for one would not want to be held responsible for all the terrible things lone wolf Americans did all over the world.
                        And if there was proof we should have bombed the shit out of them and worrying about something as trivial as LIV wouldn't be an issue.

                            sdandrea1 free if political implications. Like in the Olympics,

                            Nothing has been more political than the Olympics through the years

                              From all I can tell, not all of the investigation results into the event have been released and are classified. Currently,
                              it appears that 9/11 group and others are still trying to get the info released. Good luck with that.

                              Like other things the Saudis have done, they believe they helped fund, etc. their efforts in 9/11.

                                  Eguller If the U.S. government is hiding incriminating evidence against a group that funded and/or organized terrorists that killed U.S. citizens, then the protesters have chosen the wrong entity to protest.

                                    And we taught them how to fly!

                                    And yet, a lot of times we are. I would never set foot outside the U.S. myself. I no longer gamble, esp. with my/on my life.

                                          Eguller So, if you have some rogue employees that keep doing things you know absolutely nothing about, you are responsible for their actions? You gave them bonuses, and salary to spend.

                                          What about that gal that was denied entry to the Rockettes? Maybe she was doing things 'on her own', for her company.

                                          I'm not defending any damn foreign country, just saying things are written the way Americans want them written. Due diligence, please.

                                          Eguller the Saudis helped

                                          Correct...Saudis.....does not say 'Saudi gvt.' directly. If...I read it right.

                                              Eguller This states their case very well.

                                              The only thing that does is make me believe that the kooky conspiracy theories that the U.S. secretly organized the whole thing to gin up an excuse for wars to enrich the military industrial and government complex might possibly have had some merit.
