protests


Question Posted Sunday March 23 2008, 9:39 am

Okay I have two questions about a protest

1) What's that white cardboardy stuff people use for protests thats easily seen and firm? And where would I get it? If I can't get it, what should I use instead?

2) My Mum is SUPER PROTECTIVE of me. When I say super, I mean you seriously have no idea. If she knew I was going to a silent 'let's sit on the ground and hum' protest, she'd freak. Let alone a dangerous one I'm going to. I was going to go with friends, and just tell her I was hanging out with them, but at the last minute they decided they didn't believe in the cause and are leaving me to go by myself.

I could still use that story, but it feels so wrong lying to her. I was thinking of dropping hints how disgusted I am with this thing I'm protesting about, then in casual conversation slip in about thinking of going to the protest with a friend. However if she says no, then I can't lie about not going to the protest. Should I tell the truth, and if so how? Or just go.

Well, you already got the 2nd question answered, so i'll answer the first. It's called Posterboard. You can get it at walmart or hobby lobby :]

Well,. i wouldn't lie to her, because what if you go to this protest and something happens to you? I think you should stand up for what you believe in, if you really believe in it, you should tell her, that this is something that your have strong opinions about. I'm sure she has had some strong opinions of her own. maybe like the killing of seals (true fact, my sister send me a video of it on youtube, most desterbing) hinting at the idea of going to the protest is a good idea and then telling her, but in the end i would tell her the truth and just say. i am going to do this because it is something i very strongly believe in doing.

Question 1:
Hmm, i really have no idea, maybe cardboard sprayed white? i know posterboard would be too light, so that wouldn't work. but that would be my best guess
