Poll question: Did you watch "What would YOU do? If YOU saw . . . "?
I just watched it, and I'm outraged, but not surprised.

Are people honestly irritated by that green sticky popping up all the time? :shrug:

What would you do? I think I'd speak out, but I wouldn't be able to sustain an argument because I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. I also cry easily at confrontation.

I don't apologize if this kind of post has been done. I haven't seen any such thread. I'm curious.

1. I finally watched it, too - quite good!
I'm glad that there were people who stood up so staunchly.

I have no idea what I'd do - I hope that I would do what the good people did, but who knows? I've not been tested that way yet.

3. A green sticky that appears frequently has a link to an ABC news segment
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 10:24 AM by bertha katzenengel
about discrimination against Muslims.

The sticky reads "What would YOU do? If YOU saw a Muslim being abused?? CLICK/WATCH!"

7. I didn't watch it. And I won't because I'm sick of the sticky.
I wish they would quit spamming us with it.

12. I normally don't get irritated over stuff like that and
I would probably like and agree with it if I didn't feel like it was shoved down my throat.
It's all about delivery IMHO.

8. Haven't watched it, but a friend of mine went off on his boss and quit his job...
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 11:08 AM by primate1
A few months ago because his boss was making anti-Arab/Muslim slurs.

11. He does indeed.
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 11:11 AM by primate1
Quite literally, he's the singer for two kickass political punk rock bands, haha. :P

He's a very active member of Anti-Racist Action (among other things).
