Holy crap...I've read this test multiple times and I could have sworn it said more harm than good...count me as one of the mis-readers, then.

[The Original BJ]

Woah, I had dyslexia too.

I have changed my vote as well . . . if that's allowed.

Funny, I wonder what it means that a number of us read that specific question wrong.

[anonymous1980]

I'm sorry, I must've had dyslexia when I read that question (switching the placement of "good" and "harm"). Of course, protesting does good, even, sometimes, in a roundabout way: Fred Phelps protesting the funerals of soldiers because he feels God is condemning the US for being accepting of homosexuality actually provides an ugly face of homophobia for all the world to see. I've switch my answer, I hope I can do that...?

I owe Fred Phelps a huge debt for planting the seeds for the eradication of my homophobia in my mid-teens. I saw a picture of a woman from his group carrying a sign that says "MATTHEW'S IN HELL" during his funeral and that got me thinking, "that's not right" and the rest is history.

[OscarGuy]

No protest, no matter how much we disagree with the cause or the rationale behind it, does more harm than good. Even if it just brings an important issue to the front, they serve a purpose, which means that they do more good than harm.

[Big Magilla]

Heksagon and I seem to be the only one who agrees, even somewhat, that protesters do more good than harm. Perhaps we're thinking of different types of protesters. I was thinking of anti-war and save the environment protesters. Were the rest of you thinking the same or something else?
