Protesters to me are generally people without jobs, living off the government, yet campaigning agains't them. There is a peacecamp near where I live full of people like this. Then you get the celebrities who protest just to get some media attention, then there are the genuine protestors who do work and do have a right to their say, who I do respect, but still don't think the government will listen to them.
Sorry, I grew up with protesters trying to close down a navel base near where I live, where thousands of people worked. It's not like a bunch of protesters are going to change their minds and shut it down making thousands of people be out of work :/ not to mention that we wouldn't have any navel defence anymore which would put us at a major disadvantage if we ever went to war as we live on an island (UK).

yea but the whole thing is that if we have lost the power of protesting what else is there?
what happens if the government decided to do something that totally affected your life..what would you do?
