10,000 MARCHED IN L.A.!! -- WHY DIDN'T WE HEAR ABOUT THIS!?
Did someone say the Peace movement was dead? Well, it's being reborn as an anti-Bush, Impeach or Pink-Slip the President, anti-Imperialist, End the Occupation, Out of Iraq, anti-Patriot Act, Anti-Corporate Control, Civil Liberties & Social Justice Movement -- and it had it's coming out party Friday evening in L.A.'s Century City Plaza!!
Did someone say the Peace movement was dead? Well, if it ever was, it's now reborn, fully formed, as an anti-Bush, anti-Imperialist, Out of Iraq, Social Justice Movement -- and it had it's coming out party Friday evening in Century City!
L.A. ***RE-PREE-SENTS!!!***
THOUSANDS PROTEST BUSH OUTSIDE WESTSIDE FUND-RAISER!!
In a scene spectacularly reminiscent of this past winter's massive demonstrations -- a crowd of protesters, estimated as high as 10,000, gathered directly across the street from the Century City Hotel (where Bush the Imbecile raised $3.5 million from his fellow plutocrats with help from singer Johnny Mathis and comedian Dennis Miller). The demonstrators, meanwhile, chanted, danced, carried signs, listened to speeches and song from the mainstage, and, most memorably, roared euphorically when a massive pink banner/dress/slip with a special message for W was lowered from a ninth floor balcony of the Century City Hotel.

we have no proof it happened........

Go back to sleep.
so what if this didn't really happen, we wanted it to happen and that's almost the same thing when you get down to it, right? Well any way who hasn't made up
stories at one time or another I do it all the time. who has time to do all that booring reasearch, just make things up!

You said only 10,000 People. Well LA population 3,722,500. So were was everyone else? That’s only .26863666890530557421087978509066%. Well its just a thought.

Where were the people who marched in *favor* of the Pink-Slip the President, anti-Imperialist, the Occupation, the Occupation of Iraq, the Patriot Act, Corporate Control, and the egregious infringments of our Civil Liberties?
Where were they, and how many of them were there?
Where were they, and how many of them were there?
Actually, I just did all that *booring* research and I just discovered that the LA protest *didn't* happen at all! Those photos above were actually taken on a *secret* right-wing think tank's Hollywood sound stage to *embarrass* commie liberals, progressives and leftists! This was the same *secret* right-wing think tank's Hollywood sound stage that *staged* the moon landing and the robotic Mars landing! It also staged the Kennedy assassination. (JFK is being kept alive in a comotose state--like Reagan is *now*, and, well, for his second term in office!--and soon Dubya--in a subterranean bunker beneath the right-wing sound stage!) It also staged the atomic bombing of WWII Japan! (Well, did you actually *see* the atomic bombing!? And have you *ever* actually *seen* a Japanese survivor of the atomic bomb
!? It's *ALLLL* a *MATRIX*!!
!? It's *ALLLL* a *MATRIX*!!
10,000 people. Hmmm.... An '*excellent*' sociopolitical demographic analysis, mr t...!
But, your % given in your post above is still almost *FIVE* *TIMES* the percentage of L.A.'s population on earth!!! ...Just a thought... (There's hardly anyone living in L.A., isn't there, t?)
*ONLY* 10,000 chanting protesters at his hotel, ridiculing him!: That's probably *just* how Dubya looked at it, n'est pas t?
Re mr. t -- humph...: y'all ever hear that if he had a *brain* he'd be dangerous!? Fortunately, he only has 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

JA
actually he has .000000000186 of the brain cell aproximatly the reason why the number is slightly larger than what you might have guessed is because mens brains are fractionally larger and adults (obviously) have larger brains than small children (for example at 6yrs it is about about 86%).
Therefore one could make the statement that his brain is probably larger than the average and he probably has more brain cells than lets say angie.
Even if you have inside information - I would say your % is incorect partly because note the number of zeros. There must be at least one cell (or a part of a cell) othrwise the number should be zero but even if the cells were abnormally small ( the size of an atom for example) you could not fit that many atoms in the universe by a long shot.

Good morning, JA
Look at this, will you? You have more brain cells than "Angie"!!!
God has spoken (falling to my knees, etc.)
He-he-he!
Later, my friend

Snottie(!): "he probably has more brain cells than lets say angie."
JA: Ahhh, but, you *forget*, Snottie!: just *ONE* of her brain cells is worth both of *ALL* of your brain cells put together!! [Since you *somehow* felt compelled to snipe at Angie. (--???)]
You know if you two guys (t & snottie, cause he's like a pesky *snottie* little kid!, huh!?) shaved your heads and put them right together, you could really make an ass of yourselves!! HAHAHA!!
G'd'Afternoon, Angie!
*HI FIVES*!!!, again!
:-)
JA
P.S. I may just go back to a *little* wasteful bantering with *Snottie*, just so I can *call* him that, whenever he really passingly annoys or borrres me or snipes at Angie. Just a *suggestion* for interested parties!--Hint, hint!

oooooh scottie... you're soooooooo... statistical.

"God has spoken (falling to my knees, etc.)"
You know the basis upon which I said that. It is UNLIKELY that you have more brain cells than bush.
That is basically what any doctor (well brain doctor) will tell you.
If oyu want to dispute it your just making an idiot of yourself

Snottie: "That is basically what any doctor (well brain doctor)..."
JA: Snottie! They're called "neurologists".
Can...*you*...say...that...*big*...word...!?
Now, speaking of making an *ID-DIOT* of himself...!:
So, Snottie, that means that an elephant is smarter than *you* are, since its brain is larger than yours.
(Of course, a *gnat* with a *lobotomy* has a brain larger than *Snottie's*!! - Hahaha!! [Oh, I'm too funny!!! HAHAHA..!!!])
Yo, Sssnottie! Why were you--outta left field(!)--picking on Angie? She hadn't even been posting here in this thread? [In case you can't figure it out, this is just a rhetorical question! Snottie..., ...do...you...know...what...rhe-tor-i-cal...means??? It means that I'm headed out to the movies with friends now (you know, *friennnds*???--what you ain't got) and I don't really care what you say.]

"JA: Snottie! They're called "neurologists"."
I know that...
. I however had reason to believe that that would shoot straight over your head since you demonstrated a clear absence of knowledge on the subject.
I congratulate you for rushing off to your dictionary to find that one but you were wasting your time.
"So, Snottie, that means that an elephant is smarter than *you* are, since its brain is larger than yours."
Ha-ha speaking of idiots, JA, did I bring up the issue of "smartness" being related to brain size? Oh no... That was you...
As it turns out you did not like the implications of your own assumption.
However as regards that point congratulations for figuring out that species and size of animal might have an effect on brain size. All the other primary school kids are giving you a polite (if somewhat slow) clap.
"[Oh, I'm too funny!!! HAHAHA...!])"
JA... We are not laughing with you we are laughing AT you.

So lets first find out what is LA(including surrounding area) true population including all the illegal immigrants. Ya prove me wrong I may have found the wrong figure so go find a better one then calculate it your self. Because you all have many more brain cells than me, call it a challenge. When you prove me wrong. Show me that 10k devided by a couple million will equal more than 1 percent.
First I like the reason for protesting I was just stating why they may not have got publicity for it. The mangers of the so called media are catching on to protest and how they don’t truly represent the average Americans view.

Show me that the percentage you find is above 1 percent.
10k of people when the city has millions is a very small percent. So although I have 0 brain cells and used the wrong number show me your percentage. See if you get above 1 percent. If you some how do you have made a mistake. Or I really have 0 brain cells.
I still waiting for someone to do there own calculation for the protest percentage.
