Westfield Mall Protest

[MadDuck]

you should take care not to undermine it as it makes us look divided and weak, and presents opportunities for the enemy to drive the wedge.

The enemy is not the owners and businesses (already struggling with the recession) of the Malls. It is the ACC Corporation and the government.

These people are relying on the Christmas shopping period to get them through what has been a very difficult year. I personally would NOT support this kind of action.

If that means making us look weak an undivided then I have no problem with it. Having thrown this idea around a few customers they have all said it would corrode all the good "you guys have done".

Can we agree that while it is not cool to damage or undermine another member's plan, that it is OK to council that member against it in a constructive manner?

The Red Mist seems to have fallen and some are beyond reasonable discussion

Now can we all go and have a group hug followed by a rousing chorus of 'Kumbaya'.

I don't mind hugging, but "kumbaya" is taking it a little too far for me, so I will pass on that one, but thanks for the offer

I took a step back and looked at the point DangerousBastard was making, "agree to disagree but don't just piss on someones party just because you have a keyboard." Not your exact words DB but the general gist.

Therefor like many others I will pass on this weekends festivities, but if someone organises another proper demo that does not involve hurting the innocent, and is aimed directly at ACC for a change, count me in.

I believe that as has been well demonstrated in the last 300 or so messages that there are many a different views on wether protest a. is better then protest b. look at how much energy (and a bit of hostility) has gone into who has the best idea.


a wiser person has said 'any publicity is good publicity'

surely most people will see we simply want attention and respect for these injustices and any one who gets unduly upset by us simply parking our bikes as we have every right to do is surely to foolish to worry about any way. If someone has a better idea then sweet as plan it for the weekend after, we should be able to have a gig every weekend for the next 6 months surely that will get some attention!!

That quote was attributed to Oscar Wilde, someone who history records as a witty, colourful person rather than one considered wise. His life was something of a trainwreck . . . .

Totally agree. I'm not up for this either.

Yep. He was also famous for "work is the curse of the drinking class" . . .

Or as opposed to a straight homosexual perhaps.

[frankhea]

these new levys are rediculous

[short-circuit]

Or as opposed to a straight homosexual perhaps.

Is a gay homosexual then just a straight person? It's a double negative (turn of phrase not passing judgement)
