Where I was yesterday.

Later the manifestation fused with another more conventional and I left because it looked more aggressive. Especially since our government decided to pass a special law yesterday to end the strike. I wasn't wrong, it eventually turned into a riot. Sometime, I wonder if my government is actively trying to start a civil war.

Are they half naked because they are protesting clothing?
No we where half naked because it was the demonstration's theme. We would have done it completely naked if there wasn't a law about it. Getting clubbed and pepper sprayed and shot with rubber bullets while fully naked by some overzealous polices isn't something most people want to experience in their life.

Just curious, but what's the theme that connects this to tuition hikes?  Not trying to be insulting, I'm genuinely curious.

I see that Quebec is staying true to it's French roots.

Stupid protesters, pay for school!

The same link there is between a demonstration tuition hikes. It's just a way of getting attention to the cause and make our opinion known. This one was particularly good for our PR. People are very fearful of students because of the only partly justified image portrayed in the media. A group of 2k-3k people walking half naked on another hand, while it might look impressive and shows how dedicated we are to the cause, doesn't feel threatening at all to most by-passers (remember Quebec is very secular society).

Oooooh I see I see.  That makes a lot of sense.  It was just the way you said "theme" that confused me a bit, I thought maybe you had like, a specific phrase associated with the protest that linked the two things together. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

I think he read your comment wrong and he think you said you have NOT been watching anime for 12 years.

I had a bad feeling that its something one can not really quit...well like smoking or drugs

I would have been nice if people informed me before about this
like put a stickers on anime labels and so on saying " Anime will steal your life away" or something of that sort

I don't mind, better anime than smoking and drugs, I mean, I won't die from using it, I might die from not watching anything for a prolonged period though.

They banned demonoid in Germany. So I would be stuck using ISOHUNT or some other openly public tracker (even though demonoid was basically public).

Is it a self-imposed ban?
