        \_ death to the protesters.  We need martial law.  Every single
           protester on TV ended up being an unemployed laborer who basically
           wants us to pay $75 for a made-in-America Tickle Me Elmo.
           DEATH TO THE MEATHEADS!  USE MORE RUBBER BULLETS!
           \_ The TV coverage was biased beyond belief.  You've been taken by
              the mass media.  Use your mind, not your TV remote.  The WTO is
              evil.  One-World Government is evil.  I don't hate you, but I do
              pity you.  --eyes open, TV off
              \_ PAT!  PAT!  PAT!  PAT FOR PRESIDENT!!!!  HE'LL SAVE US
                 FROM THOSE ONE-WORLD FOREIGN JOB-STEALING DEVILS!!!!!!
                \_ Pat is an idiot.  I don't care about your job.  I care about
                   your air.
        \_ This is called a "Denial of service attack", not a
           "sit-in". Dont kid yourselves, this is bordering on
           illegal, if not actually illegal. The webpage
           owners are setting themselves up for
           "Incitement to commit a crime" or something. And
           personally, I hope they get arrested on those charges.
            \_ guess what, sit-ins are illegal too.  And if you see how it is
               set up it won't do anything unless tons of people participate
               \_ It would be far better to just have a petition, with
                  thousands of names. otherwise,it will beseen as
                  a few hundred people trying to interfere with "progress".
                  This is an artificial attempt to magnify the effect that
                  a few hundred people can have.
                  Because if it actually made thousands of people
                  actually "sign" their names, clinton would actually
                  listen.
                  \_ Are you really this stupid?  Do you know hte difference
                     between a sit-in and a petition?  Sheesh... kids.
        \_ They're making the dangerous assumption that the average Joe
           actually *cares* enough to turn on his WebTV and point it at a
           WTO Web site in the first place . . .
                \_ Who the hell do you think stopped the WTO today?  The
                   streets were packed with average Joes you cynical fuck nut.
                   \_ now THAT (unfortunately) will have an effect.
                      Killing the web site with a DOS attack, will
                      not.
                        \_ I chose not to participate in the DOS.  It seemed
                           pointless.  I'm still opposed the WTO and in favor
                           of almost any protest opposing the WTO.
        \_ For what its worth the WTO is a serious issue, deserving alot
           more attention than its given in the media.  Whether the US
           should be in the WTO is questionable, and bringing China into
           the WTO would be a blunder.
           \_ WTO rules!  Don't turn US into inward-looking Ming dynasty
              China!  Unilateralism will make the US into a leader
              without followers!
                \_ shut up achoi
                   \_ Who's that?
                \_ Don't turn the US into a lackey of the One World Government.
                   By the people, for the people.  Not whatever tiny scrap of
                   empowerment the OWG _lets_ you have.  The WTO is evil.
        \_ Fuck the WTO, the UN, and all One World Government stupidity.
           \_ of course, this idea does not exclude the similar idea that
              the WTO rioters all deserve a swift kick to the head while
              being dunked in toilet water diarrhea.  Moron fuck-ups.
                \_ No.  They deserve to be honored as the heros they are.  The
                   anti-WTO protesters have a very clear idea of what's going
                   on.  If you looked up from your Quake3 once in a while and
                   looked around, you might also.  Death to the WTO and all
                   other One World Governemtn anti-people organisations.
                   \_ PAT!  PAT!  PAT!  PAT FOR PRESIDENT!!!  HE'LL SAVE US
                      FROM THOSE FOREIGN ONE-WORLDER JOB-STEALING DEVILS!!!
                        \_ It's not about jobs.  It's about clean air and
                           water.
