As some may not know I'm the poster previously known as Alanboy395. I changed my name to the Dissenter for my personal reasons. However, I'm curious C-D nation. What would your first thought be when you hear the word dissent or dissenter?

Dissenters are the ones who upset the status quo. Without them the world would become static and dogmatic.

FBI watchlists, angry old men in the South, young people living in tents, people marching in immigration rallies, people marching for abortion rights and picketing abortion clinics, Black Panthers, La Raza and the Aztlan loonies, Klansmen, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, monks lighting themselves on fire, people asking for asylum, etc. all come to mind.
