Genocide Awareness Project

Postby Seangoli » Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:45 pm

So, the GAP is coming to my school... again... to display their wonderful little pictures. Of course, they almost ambushed us this year, because the local group who sponsored them didn't feel it was necessary to inform anyone they were coming. Or maybe they forgot, who know.

To make this a discussion, what does everyone think of their tactics, message, and overall purpose? I personally find it loathsome.

About the same as PETA. Morally bankrupt hypocrites who tell a bunch of manufactured lies and exaggerations in order to try and shock people into buying their load of rubbish.

I wonder, if we enacted a genocide on the members of the Genocide Awareness Project, would anyone care?

Would someone found a Genocide Awareness Project Genocide Awareness Project in protest?

I don't agree with what they're saying, and I think that exploiting genocide to further a political view not related to genocide is wrong. It is still within their rights to say it. What grade are you in, by the way?

Not possible. Genocide is the attempted wholesale extermination of an ethnic or religious group. Since GAP is basically an activist movement, and not identifiable by race or religion, all you'd be doing is mass murder.

Far less exciting. Ah well.

On the contrary, it can be very exciting, if you do it properly. For example, you could record the women of the group, and catch the few who do end up taking abortion. It's a peculiar mentality that they have that makes them a special case, but catch them on it. Then hound them every single day until they commit suicide, or their group does it for them.

For the men, why, forcible implantations of fertilized embryos in their prostrate, after extensive surgery of course. Few might survive the process, but that's their fault for being... what was the term? Sluts I believe. Yes, that was the term.

It's all in how you carry it out.
