So the pro lifers are back (UC)

[MalibuStacy]

I am almost surprised they were allowed back after last years campaign on campus (UC), especially since they were kicked off U of A's campus. I gotta admit though I do enjoy heckling them.

I was gonna bring a Nerf gun with me to shoot the posters from a far. But instead I am just collecting their leaflets and turning them into paper airplanes and throwing them back at em.

Do we really need a thread about this every few months?

Can't everyone just read one of the several threads created over the past few years?

No different then the many NE shooting/stabbing bullshit posts...

[Quiet10]

At least with the NE shooting/stabbing posts they're actually different from time to time. The pro-lifers are the same every fucking year.

I wonder if these guys are just lazy. What's the point of protesting abortions at UofC? I don't think there's an overwhelming population of pregnant females who may be considering abortion or a large amount of abortion providers there. Are they just protesting whatever at wherever that's not too out-of-the-way for them? I totally question their commitment to their cause. Same deal with those lazy student protesters from MRU that marched to Alison Redford's constituent office where she's not currently at hahaha. I'd be more impressed if they marched to her Edmonton office.

[Kramerica]

The counter protesters were equally as lame this time around, blowing bubbles at the abortion set up

[MalibuStacy]

I just think the whole thing is funny, thats all

[Myrrinda]

Can't we just not care and then maybe they'll eventually go away?

[dirtsniffer]

I had some 10 year old girl try to hand me a pamphlet on why abortion is wrong. Feel bad for her.

Water gun full of kerosene, match. Display problem solved.

Yeah, I'd bet they're arts students as well.

I went to UVic, and I shit you not, one summer a bunch of the liberal arts hippies were protesting lawns. Yes, that's right, they were protesting grass. Because it just costs money and doesn't give anything back (as opposed to communal gardens). They ripped up a bunch of grass in the middle of campus and planted stuff. Which the rabbits promptly ate, and the Uni promptly re-sodded. Oh and they already had gardens on the other side of campus. Idiots.

[Myrrinda]

Wait, are they actually students? I thought post-secondary education was supposed to educate you.

No kidding. We get it, they're there and they suck. Get over it.

Was about to yell at her for thrusting one of their pamphlets into my friend's face but then I realized she was just a girl. Can't stand their display though.

[duaner]

So what is the problem? People just don't like the displays? They're a bit annoying in their tactics? People don't like protests? People don't like others who actually stand up for what they believe in? I see some personal attacks here but nothing to suggest what the actual problem is.

[msommers]

My personal problem is the way they're portraying their message. I'm fairly desensitized when it comes to gore so it's not that. The fact they try to use it to convey how terrible abortion may or may not be means that I cannot take them seriously. Have you ever talked to one of these people? They sound like the 99%'ers who had no idea what the hell they were talking about and yet were there to "fight for the cause." They're so absorbed with their own conversations amongst each other it's almost cult-like.

I'm not alone in all regards. Even people that walk by don't want anything to do with them, you see them obviously trying to ignore the people and the signs. Seeing such pictures should be by choice and given fair warning, in an area where if you're interested, you can go - Not in the middle of fucking campus.

I think the only people that may be affected by such posters are already pregnant women, weighing the pros and cons of abortion. Truth by told, they've looked at them already in private on the computer. But this may be the "push" they need to not go through with it.

Abortion analogous to genocide? Have they been to Rwanda during that time? Get the fuck off campus.

this is my issue with it. You dont like it? fine, but the hyperbolic nature of everything they say/print is absolutely ridiculous and insensitive to some pretty major travesties that have happened.
