I am against war but why can't protestors...

Take a shower...

Get some fashion sense...

Comb their hair...

Stop wearing those stupid scarves that they all wear...

Take time and effort in producing a professional, computer designed, laminated sign...

Wear a suit?...

Learn that the presence of police doesn't necessarily mean that they are on the side of the 'coallition forces'...

Get a job... (just kidding)

They want to be taken seriously, then start acting seriously instead of scribbling 'war for peace is like f*cking for virginity' on a piece of card and glueing it to a piece of wood.

The only message that they convey is that they are a bunch of hippies who are bored with hugging their favourite tree. They need to wake up and realise that noone will take them seriously if they look like they are permanently stoned, saying 'peace man' at every available opportunity.
