What Is This Sign Supposed To Mean?
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 05:22 PM by Placebo


Demonstrators in Santiago, Chile, Friday, Nov. 19, 2004 in protest of this weekend's APEC summit and President Bush's visit.

Is it trying to say that America will be attacked soon, or...what? :shrug:

12. Actually, the way I read it, it seems to be saying "¡SORRY FALUYA!
STUPID AMERICANS
YOUR TURN WILL
COME..."

27. The spelling is just a phonetic for how Spanish speaking (Chilean style)
understand "Falluja", or "Faloojah" as Riverbend writes it. Precise transliterations between different alphabets are well-nigh impossible.
But the meaning is clear...they understand what evil we have wrought. I still have some faith and hope they grasp it wasn't done in -all- our names.

2. It's what we all know deep in our hearts to be true.
What goes around comes around, and America will have its turn.

3. Yes, that's what it means
And when it happens again, I doubt we'll get the sympathy we got last time. In fact, I'm sure we won't.

8. What goes around comes around?
These are the Chilean protestors. I suppose they've had plenty of experience living under the thumb of a military dictatorship. It seems to be a warning that we've headed down the wrong path.

13. It confirms that Bush's way is creating MORE terrorism in the world.
It confirms that Bush's way is turning terrorists into sympathetic heros.

It confirms that Bush's way is arrogant and incompetent and has made this nation and the world a more dangerous place.

20. What did the Repugs win?
More contempt & more hatred from the world. And the desire to see our country attacked is growing.

Do yourselves a favor, Bushitler supporters, & educate yourselves about his lies. IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9-11.

28. I guess we will have to attack Chile and Iran....but we shouldn't need
a draft.....I'm sure alot of "red state" Americans will be lining up to go right over with their guns and kill a bunch of people. Maybe there will even be less abortions if all the men/boys are fighting in wars all over the world....the evangelicals would be in "heaven".
