"You're probably one of those people that wants to change the world
whether it wants to be changed or not."

Something a freeper said to me, and one of the stupidest remarks I've ever heard, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I almost said "You're probably one of those people that thinks women's suffrage and civil rights were messing with tradition." but it's pointless to try to reason with the insane.

oddly enough, if we asked the world to vote, GW wouldn't be in office.

6. Actually Slavery IS part of a tradition not to be messed with at least to
many governing elitists..When working toward my undergraduate degree I was told by one of my professors of the need in our society to maintain a subservient class of people in order to ensure that all 'services' remain available for the public..In short, we just don't CALL it slavery..

3. Name one instance of a change that happened
when the world WANTED it to!

What a dope.

I mean, Jesus HATED the status quo.

The same thing could be said about a * supporter.

8. oh, NOW they care what the world thinks!
same guys who called for Chimp being holier than John Paul II because the Fuehrer Chimp wanted war, which is always more sacred than peace.
