CULTURE: War Protesters Invoke Lucifer for Help

War protests (or protests of any kind) are a tricky thing. The majority of the time they seems like a waste to me. Accomplishing little but delaying people who have nothing to do with your cause. I mean, sure, "awareness" is nice and I'm not saying they're entirely useless but it seems like there are better ways to change something.



The only time it seems totally stupid is when, as is often the case in Los Angeles, the group involved is having trouble breaking a double digit turnout. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't have enough people to throw a successful dinner party, you don't have enough people to change the world. I'm talking to you seven dummies holding filthy, bent-up signs on Vine and Sunset.



It seems

Code Pink are headed in this direction, and anxious to turn things around.

Ahh... nothing says take me seriously regarding this serious issue like dressing up as a fictional character. Hats, check. Spells, um, what?



And what does a siren costume involve? Protesting from an alley, half a mile away, and then disappearing when the target comes over to investigate? At which point, they get trapped under a dumpster?

Thinking a protest at this late hour will end the war, or thinking magic spells work, what's the more ridiculous assumption here?



It's close, but I'm going with "believing in magic."

Not to get sidetracked but, a half-shaved head and some hair dye means you're "used to anything"? How does that differentiate someone from any other protest group... or group... or person?



Back to the point.

Part of me wishes they'd left out the quotes and the sign read: "Peace and Warmongers _ Eating Our Children for Profit."

I see, so, you're crazy, too? Fantastic! Of course, yes, bring salt, that should do the trick. I mean, come on EVERYONE KNOWS HEMLOCK AND WOLFSBANE ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KEEP YOU SAFE FROM SPELLS! Duh.



Sigh... yes, the world's lamest wizard's duel has just transpired. Lamer than David Blaine and Chris Angel slap-fighting each other in a half-full kiddie pool.



What could you possibly add to make this an even bigger clusterfuck?

College Republicans!

Yeah well, space is limited and brooms take up way less space than cars, stupid. Plus, it's much more environmentally sound. Any environmentalist will tell you, a flying broom is like five times better than a Prius.



And why not end things on an ironic note.

Maybe magic does work...









TheCoolerKing will take a strong length off steel and solid armor over magic any day...

You're gonna get Wiccans protesting that they don't have anything to do with Lucifer . . . just warning

Otherwise, quite amusing.

Scary part is you KNOW there are people on both sides that actually believe this shit is REAL.

Devolution?

I'm thinking I need to start up a protest group that protests protesters. I'll call it " Get out of my way I'm late for work".

I shall protest your protests!

I agree with this statement! I cannot tell you how often I get stopped when walking around around my downtown area and people ask me if I'm a part of Code Pink because I'm wearing pink or have pink hair. I'm a girl, my skin color picks up reds and pinks well, and I like the color. The end. I just think it's a weird, new form or stereotyping has emerged for anyone who looks differently. Nothing against people who want to join the group, I'm just not involved!

Indeed. Dear writer,
Witch != devil worshipper.

Sincerely,
Someone who knows what they are talking about, esq.

Okay, now I know you're making shit up.

If somehow i could bring my lvl 245 war mage.

dang I wanted to see that pink tank

Gotta hit em up top



Winter Soldier on the Hill

I applaud.

i'm going to have to consult with the dark spirits in order to cure the stabbing head pains brought on by witnessing unfiltered stupidity. oh great and powerful rum, i beseech thee...

Why not just ride in on unicorns and slay the protester's with +5 Broadswords? That would be sooooo much cooler.

I've been trying to find the scene from South Park where a bunch of protestors can't agree on what day to organize a march, then eventually lose track of what they're protesting on which day, but I've utterly failed, so just pretend I posted the video.

I shall pretend to laugh.

Because dude, do you know how hard +5 broadswords are to find?

Come on. Broadsword? What the fuck is that? Do you mean a Long Sword or a Greatsword? Or maybe an Elven Warblade?
Besides, if they have magic I'd rather go for a Mage Bane sword. It's only a +1 modifier, and would actually hit for more than a +5 weapon...

Wow. So that's why I never get any...
Thank god I can post anything on this thread and Code Pink will still make me look like less of a nerd.

Careful, they might banish you.

banish is only effective against demon and elemental mobs. they'd have to sheep him.

The war protests are fools if they think they will get any help from

My RPG skills are nil.

i've got a racial bonus to RPG skills.

So, what you're saying is that Wiccans worship a figure from the Judeo-Christian tradition? Of course, it's customary of many Westerners to reduce those things that they don't understand or seem ridiculous to them as being "evil" or "of the devil." Yeah, I don't believe in Wicca, or Lucifer for that matter, but I can think hard enough to keep my mythologies separate.
