Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

My belief is that I think we can all agree that Violent Demonstration are an effective way of gaining attention by the wider community. The fact that I live all the way over in Australia Other side of the world and know what you guys are talking about is enough evidence of that. Naturally, when a group of people 'riot' or exhibit destructive behaviour in public, it'll come to the attention of the authorities who'll be forced to address the issue one way or another. Hence 'Rioting' is one way of attaining change. The question though... is is it effective? And if so is it worth it? My answer would be It depends xD I'm not entirely sure that the Ferguson thing is actually going to change anything. I mean clearly a few 'bad apples' have been picked off, and the wider community has been alerted to the atrocities that occur... but in terms of the national or even global attitude, I'm not sure if it's actually been effective. I guess it could be considered viable if a law, or substantial procedures are introduced. But personally, I'm a bit... put off by the whole thing. If change occurs in Ferguson, good for them. But I can say with confidence that I am never going to visit the area. Call me racist, but my reservations to dark-skinned Americans was negatively affected. In fact, I probably even say my opinion of the United States suffered from what happened. Now, I understand that having your loved ones killed is something that will incite people into fits of rage. But when those people express their anger through destroying things... can you really call them civilized members of society? Furthermore, violent protest seldom ever restrict themselves to their goals. If you're pissed off with the police and destroy police vehicles and smash windows at the police station that's unacceptable, but you're lashing out at the police.... but the moment that aggression transpires to a nearby shop, even a street sign... you're just being uncouth. Heaven forbid if unrelated people get injured. So yeah, I don't like it. And I don't think it gives the people or the cause they're fighting for a good image. I'm personally against people owning private guns, but putting that aside, if I was asked in a survey if gun control laws need to be tightened up in the area, my answer would be 'No, that area is dangerous.' Same applies for other riots, if gay people went around killing random straight people in the name of 'equality' I highly doubt there'd be much support from heterosexual people to legalize equal rights in anything. Might not be a fair comparison, but validating this as effective... would be like endorsing the situation in the middle east right now as an efficient way of creating a caliphate.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

I am a former planning student, working for my city as an urban planner. Civil demonstrations of a peaceful and violent nature are a lot more complicated than people would initially think. I wrote my thesis on said topic. The long and the short of it will always be on a per-case basis on what was done, and how it was done. Why some demonstrations succeeded, peaceful or violent, will depend on how it was organized, who was mobilized, and the system that they were trying to change as a whole. Recent examples of this in my city was the student uprising in Montreal two or so years ago. The government was arguing that the cost of universities hadn't kept up with inflation and that universities were running out of money to provide high quality education. Students were arguing against, what I thought at the time were reasonable compromises, under the assumption that the right to education is a universal human right, which I also found reasonable. What ended up happening was that there were several hundreds of thousands of students and professors swarming into Montreal to peacefully demonstrate amid the budget talks for the province. The government promised to discuss said things under the huge attention garnered, but in true Quebecoise bureaucratic stupidity, they kept them out of the conversation. Up until this point, the students had the attention, and support of other students nation wide, and city wide, but amidst frustration of being barred from the talks, they turned to violent rioting and terrorist acts. Acts so strong that the government wrote bylaws and charters to temporary overwrite our rights as a citizen in times of protest. This in turn incited further rage, where rioting, looting, burning of cars, the interruption of public transportation via smoke bomb threats Called in as actual bomb threats occurred, leaving the rest of the country, and members of the city, completely disgusted with the movement, which lead to its demise. Violence can enact change. There are examples of that, but rioting as a whole, brings out everyone's personal agendas and fragments a larger, more unified discussion into parts that can become discredited by those who are enacting violence. It is effective in bringing attention to a situation, but it doesn't help mobilize or involve more people, rather it pushes them away. The last nature is that most civil movements have deep, historical roots, that link back to previous demonstrations. Everything is cyclical in the way of humanity, especially in how we live, interact,and enact our lives in a city. In the case of the aforementioned example, the roots of that go way back to when the french population of Montreal fought for the right to even have french universities in the first place, for at the time there was only one! So, I would have to say, on the whole from my experiences in my profession, the study of such actions world wide and in various locales and views via academia, violent protest does not further interests. At best, it lays the ground work for future, non-violent discussions to occur.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

All rioting does is make the powers that be find another way to do things. Also from the point of view of the people who aren't protesting it tends to illustrate the stereotypes and often is contradictory. I'm not just talking about race riots, I have seen Students violently protesting, and yet these same Students profess to being pacifists all the while they are attacking Police Officers. Quite often the Rioting group will lose the sympathy of the wider community, no one likes to see people get assaulted, to have roads closed down and their trips home delayed, to see shops burning. You also have to ask yourself, What would happen if these violent thugs actually gained some influence? No, it doesn't achieve anything.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

I think the system is very good at self-preservation and nearly immune to change. In the US, at least, riots are allowed to happen because they're ineffective at challenging the status quo. They give the rioters and their supporters the illusion of power and influence without actually having either, and this is especially true for the slacktivist SJWs who live and die on social media. The Occupy Wall Street kids had permission to occupy a park and couldn't last through a winter. Rioters in Ferguson or Baltimore or south central LA might burn the cities to the ground but it's of interest to no one living elsewhere except as items in the news cycle. Serious rioters in during the civil rights movement faced down police dogs, fire hoses and night sticks and prevailed. Mobs who take down governments pick up rifles and use them, they don't get assembly permits or permission to occupy.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

As a French I can't anymore. Lucky me that I can avoid riots - some cannot, and get insulted, hurt or lose their business.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

They don't riot in the suburbs. But if they did, that's what shotguns are for.
Thread: Rioting. does it actually effect change?

It probably does effect change but not in the way the protesters expect it will. Defund the Police is not an appealing objective especially when the ones crying it out are the ones who are being destructive.
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

Shona Breslin spoke with her boyfriend in sweet words and she was so happy to have him all to herself. Just talking to him on the phone made her the happiest when she needed comfort. Besides her boyfriend though, her brother was the only one she could turn to for absolutely everything. Whenever Shona needed something or had to ask something important, her brother was always there. It would make sense too since they were twins, but they weren't identical, they were fraternal. Shona was not that tall and not that strong, her brother, though the same age, was taller and could carry her frame. As Shona was about to get off the phone with her boyfriend, he asked her one more thing. Needless to say, it surprised her a lot and left her speechless for a few seconds. Do you think... we could try some sexual things some time? Sexual things? Um.. well.. I would have to think about it. I'm sorry. Its okay, take your time. Ill see you at school tomorrow. Bye. When Shona hung up the phone, she sat there trying to think about what her boyfriend had said to her. It made her confused and uncertain. They haven't been together for that long and although she knew what sex was thanks to school, she had never done it. Shona was only 17, how could she try anything like that?She decided to walk up to her brothers door and knocked gently. Can I come in?
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

Vincent Breslin was a young man of seventeen who enjoyed the finer things in life. Of course, those finer things were video games, comic books and animation, but those could be called finer things... Right? Whatever the case, he was a rather average high school youth. He had some friends but wasn't extremely popular, he was friendly and caring but could be a little hard-headed some sometimes a bit arrogant. He wasn't very good at math or science but he did love art classes and very much enjoyed drawing. He also enjoyed writing fictional stories that would allow him to use his rather active imagination to travel to far off worlds and explore strange planets, or go toe-to-toe with a powerful villain. Thanks to his friendly demeanor and handsome appearance he was relatively popular with some of the girls in his school but he didn't have a girlfriend, though he had had one in the past, and he certainly wouldn't be against finding himself another one. Yes, just your typical, average awkward high school student. With a bit of a nerdy side to him. And a big imagination that often ran away with him. And, well, maybe he wasn't so typical after all. Standing at a height of just slightly over six feet, his body was slender and fit, muscular but not extremely so, just slightly, enough to show some definition. His skin was light, his black hair always seemed to be a mess, he had dark blue eyes, and there was a small scar that stretched from the lower left corner of his bottom lip and to just off center left of his chin-- a scar he had gotten while doing one stupid thing or another when he was little. At the moment he wore a simple black T-shirt and a pair of worn blue jeans. His feet were bare as he lounged about on his bed, slender arms up above his face while he stared up at a small handheld gaming device. He was playing the latest game he had picked up, Dungeon Berserker Omega 3 , the newest game in the Dungeon Berserker franchise, of which he had played all of the series. His character had just slain the goblin lord and he was feeling fairly pleased with himself. A knock at the door drew his attention from the game and then he heard the small voice of his twin sister, Shona, on the other side of it. He and Shona were fairly close and he always did his best for her, he always tried to come through for her whenever she needed him and help her whenever he could. He considered it simply part of a brother's duty but there was a bit more to it than that, and even he was at least partially aware of that fact. Oh, uh, y-yeah, c'mon in, he replied after stretching his left leg down the side of his bed and using the heel of his foot to kick a few questionable magazines under his bed. Well, he was a boy, after all...

Shona heard that her brother allowed her to come into his room as she never liked barging in without permission. She was always very shy and aware of other peoples privacy, even when it was her own twin brother, Vince. As she opened the door, her face was a little red and flushed, like she was embarrassed. What did Shona have to be embarrassed about? This was her brother, her brother that she was always very close too. She was certain he would give the advice she needed to be with her boyfriend so they could be happy. She sat on his bed and looked a little shaky as she asked what she needed to. I just got off the phone with my boyfriend and well... he asked about doing sexual things with each other. We haven't been with each other that long either. Do you think its a good time to do it with him or at least take small steps toward, well... that? Shona's dark grey eyes stared with a serious and embarrassed look at Vince and her stomach turned and churned but fluttered like a butterfly. Why was she feeling this way towards her brother to begin with? All she knew was her body was slightly trembling, her stomach was fluttering and her palms were sweaty. Shona waited for Vince's answer as she continued to be embarrassed to ask something like this.
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

Dark blue eyes followed his sister's graceful figure as she made the short journey toward him and he scooted over a little bit to give her enough room on his bed. He never minded Shona coming into his room and in fact he rather enjoyed her presence there. And everywhere, for that matter. He wasn't the type of brother to become annoyed with the presence of a sibling or frustrated with the occasional invasion of privacy. Sure, they had had their share or arguments as all siblings did, but he loved her and he knew that she loved him, so that was all that really mattered in the end. They were family and he would always support her. But he definitely wasn't prepared for her question. He had listened curiously to her brief explanation of her visit, but when he heard the surprising news about her boyfriend's desire for a more intimate relationship Vincent didn't quite know what to say. He couldn't blame her boyfriend, Shona was a beautiful young woman and her boyfriend was lucky to have her, and what guy didn't want to become more intimate? Still, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. W-Well... umm... that's a big decision, Vincent replied hesitantly after a moment of silence. He couldn't help but blush a bit at this situation. He could tell that she felt just as nervous and embarrassed as he did, so he reached out and lightly placed his hand on top of hers. What... what does your heart tell you? Do you... want to do it with him?
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

Shona felt Vince's hand on top of hers and it made her a little more comfortable around him. But her heart was beating really fast and she was really nervous when near her brother. Why would she be anyway? They were family, nothing could happen... could it? As Shona listened to Vince's question, she took it in carefully and thought about it for a while. She wanted to be farther with her boyfriend but then there was how she felt about her brother right now. Well... maybe... I don't know yet. I haven't done anything with anyone before. So I hoped you would give me some advice... or maybe show me how its done. I don't wanna disappoint him. Shona was surprised at what had just come out of her mouth. What did she just say? Did she literally just invite her own brother to show her how sex was done? Shona turned herself slightly away from Vince, embarrassed by what she just said. She couldn't take what she said back now.
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

It was understandable that she would be apprehensive about taking the plunge. It was a big step in a relationship, no doubt about it, and once done was something that could never be taken back. It was quite the decision indeed so he could understand her questions and worry. Even so what she had said next definitely caught him by surprise, it was something he hadn't been expecting at all, and for a moment he stared silently at her, his blush deepening even more. It was a shock to be sure but, somehow, he was also sort of relieved to hear it. Perhaps that was strange of him, maybe it was even wrong of him, but he couldn't deny the fact that it made him happy... When Shona turned away from him he suddenly felt a little guilty even though he didn't really have anything to feel guilty about, he just didn't like to see her in such a state. He liked to see her with a smile on her pretty face, and didn't like to see her hurt or disappointed or embarrassed. Maybe he was just a little overprotective of her. He hesitated for a moment and tried to think things through but he couldn't deny that such a possibility had been a fantasy of his for as long as he could remember and desire and imagination was quickly overpowering any sort of logic. But could she really have meant what it sounded like she had said? Did she really just ask him to have sex with her or could this be another case of his imagination running away with him? After a few moments of silence his right hand reached out to her shoulder, he lightly grasped her shoulder and then his hand lightly and hopefully soothing slid down her arm. His fingertips gently brushed over the top of her hand. ...I'll help you, he said softly, a small smile beginning to fade onto his lips. He always would do anything for her no matter what. I-I don't know how much use I'll be... B-but I would be... be happy to show you what I can. Vincent couldn't claim that he was extremely well-versed in the art of sex sure, he had a little bit of experience with it, a blowjob here and there, some stroking, fondling of each other, but he'd never gone all the way. But he had watched enough porn and hentai and read enough erotic manga and stories that he figured he knew enough about what needed to be done that he wouldn't make a fool of himself. Probably.

Shona was happy by his answer, that he would show her what she knew and what to do during sex. Hopefully it would make things with her boyfriend stronger. She turned to face Vince and tried to relax and waited for him to make the first move. It was important that she felt good, that was one thing Shona knew. Moving a little closer, she grew increasingly more nervous, but this was Vince, her twin brother and they were close. She knew he would take good care of her. Please be gentle, okay? Shona had no experience with anyone before, so what better way than to turn to her brother for help? It was the perfect way to get practice for her boyfriend. But she couldnt help but feel something more in her heart, something she didnt understand. Maybe its because her first time would be with Vince? Either way, Shona knew it would be alright. Sorry, have a bit of a writers block right now .

OOC It's alright, no worries! It happens! There was no doubt that Vincent was quite nervous about this situation. Sure, he had fantasized about this for a very long time but he never thought that it would actually happen. A brother didn't usually sleep with their sister, he knew it was frowned upon, that it was wrong-- though he never did understand why it was so wrong-- but now that it seemed like doing it with her was a very real possibility he wasn't sure what to make of it and he was undeniably nervous about it. But he was happy, very, very happy. She, too, would be his first, and he rather liked the idea of giving her his virginity. They would be giving each other their virginity and somehow it just seemed so very romantic... I will, I'll be careful, he breathed out softly and he smiled at her when she turned toward him. There would be much to teach her, there was much to do with her, but he didn't want to rush through it, he wanted to make this whole experience wonderful for her. He wanted to take it slow, he wanted to give them time to both enjoy this, to enjoy every single moment of it. They might never get to do this again, after all, so he wanted to give her the best experience he could. His smile grew as he slowly leaned in closer to her pretty face. His left hand came up to her face and gently caress her left cheek. His hand was a little shaky at first, his movements slow, but gradually that shakiness faded away and he was stroking her cheek as though he was her lover and that it was the most natural thing in the world. Shona... you're so beautiful... he said, his voice barely a whisper, his voice a bit smoother than he had anticipated it would be, it seemed that his nervousness was slowly beginning to fade the more he touched her warm cheek. And she was beautiful she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen and this big blue planet. He could smell the sweet scent of her flesh now and his eyes gazed lovingly into hers. Perhaps this was a bit more than she had wanted, maybe she just wanted some quick sex to show her the ropes and get her used to it, but he couldn't help it. He had longed for this moment for so long, he just couldn't help but enjoy her. The hand that was caressing her cheek slowly drifted down the side of her neck. His breathing was a little sporadic still thanks to his nerves but it was getting a bit better. He let his lips brush lightly against hers, a soft touch, and a moment later he kissed her. Her lips were soft and warm, they tasted sweet and were so very welcoming. After a moment or two he deepened the kiss, the tip of his tongue came to trace around her lips. His body seemed to be on auto-pilot now, it was acting all on its own without him even thinking about it. Perhaps his instincts were taking over, or maybe it was just his hidden lust and desire for Shona that he had had for so many years...
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

Shona was shaky in her own breath as Vincent approached her face. She had wanted this just to please her boyfriend. So why did it feel so natural though? She didn't entirely understand after all. When he kissed her, she accepted with open lips as he deepened it. So handsome and so gentle with her, it was all Shona had ever dreamed of. She couldn't ask for anything more than what she was already given. Wild thoughts ran through her head and as she enjoyed the kiss from her brother, Shona wrapped her arms around his waist. It was a sign that she wanted more. This was her twin brother but it didn't feel weird to her. This was wrong but it sure didn't feel like it.
Thread: My Brother's Keeper {LittleCookie x Blue Hatter}

There was no doubt that this was wrong and Vincent knew it and part of him screamed at him to stop and end it now before he took things any further, but another part of him urged him onward and told him to continue, to explore her, to pleasure her. Any sort of rationality was fading away and the latter urge was winning out. If this was so wrong why did it feel so very, very right? When he felt her slip her arms around his waist he knew that there was no turning back and that he couldn't stop now, not ever. His own arms slipped around her back as well to pull her closer to him, his eyes fluttered closed, and at last his tongue dared to dart between her open lips and into her mouth, and there he got his first taste of his sister's tongue and of her saliva. It was sweet and warm, and he loved it. His tongue curled around Shona's and their moist muscles began to dance within her mouth. With each passing moment he could feel his body growing hotter and his manhood was quickly stiffening, tenting the front of his pants in the process. He mmm'd happily into the kiss and deepened it a bit more while his hands began to glide lightly up and down along her spine.
