Yes, we would.




Clearly someone wasn't paying attention in history class...

This is from a protest in San Francisco, regarding the Olympics in Beijing this summer. This is the reason I'm so bothered by people saying history isn't important. Not just because if we don't know, we may embarrass ourselves in public, but also because we're prone to repeating the same mistakes. Which I feel is aptly demonstrated by this photo...

Wow...I hope someone pointed out the dumbass-ery of that to the person holding the sign...

That's kind of hilarious. Human stupidity is just endless.

seriously? i am all for protesting for something you believe is wrong/right, but this reconfirms my number one pet peeve--uninformed, ignorant people protesting/debating/discussing ANYTHING! ugh. just do some background work people!

p.s. i feel that way even when someone agrees with me. oh well, my beliefs require me to be tolerant of everyone, even when they aren't as smart as we are. :)
