Revolting Schoolchildren!

[Alvaro Mendez]

I don't know David. This all seems highly suspicious to me. A bunch of children marching around against a war that's supposed to bring freedom and prosperity to an oppressed country -- a country where most people (much less children) don't have mobile phones, but the dictator has several palaces. It's kind of depressing how the left-wing propaganda machine is able to easily cloud the minds of naive youths. God help us! Regards, Alvaro

Baaaa. They were just doing it to get out of school for the day. :-D Quote from a clever bloke : "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein

Revolting, indeed! Disgusting little buggers. :rolleyes: BW "We get general information and specific information, but none of the specific information talks about time, place or methods or means..." - Tom Ridge - US Secretary of Homeland Security

Yeah Martin Sheen plays a President on TV, and how about that Barbra Striesand:rolleyes: she's a regular rocket scientist Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

That's the thing. These are kids. If I'm some left-wing nut parent, I can just endoctrinate my kid with the "war is bad because people die and the US are emperialists" message. Once he's as passionate about it as I am, he'll easily start drilling the message to his school friends, and before you know it, you have all these kids looking for bigger and better ways to parrot their message. It's kind of scary. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't help but feel suspicious that a few parents are well aware of what's going on. :suss: Regards, Alvaro

As opposed to you? What makes your opinion more informed? What makes you any less an Idiot? Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

[Chris Austin]

BullShit! While this war may have been necassary for a long time, what gives you or anybody else the right to tell a parent what philophsy to teach their children as long as it dosent break any laws. Or are the freedoms and rights that you seem to be in favor of only valid if it agrees with your world view? Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

The other difference is that I don't hold myself above others because of some celebrity. My comment was based on the way that most people tend to add extra weight to someone's opinion who is "famous" because of their celebrity. Maybe you think that the Dixie Chicks are experts at US foreign policy, I don't. I do agree they have a right to express their opinion, but I think they should be viewed based on the knowledge of the person making the comment.

I agree with Fazlul - these kids are not mindless regurgitators, they have deeply thought through their views and wishes on this topic. Enough so that it seems they were able to, at least locally, hijack a walkout intended for university students without the knowledge of the authorities, and did so on a large scale. Credit where credit is due...

First I agree with Fazlul, and now I agree with Chris - Bull Shit! That sort of thing just doesn't happen in this part of the world. Maybe as you head north or east towards the major cities and the slums, but here people know very well which way their head screws on. It's funny (funny 'odd' not funny 'ha ha') but I've seen more children fourteen to seventeen giving their parents - and politicians - lectures about such issues than the other way around. When you don't have to deal with drugs and bullying on the scale that the inner cities do, schools become quite flourishing little communities of intellect, and there is none so terrible an opponent than a child who believes he has been wronged and has a strong head on his shoulders... As Marc said it seems that there may be cultural differences at play here, as hard and sad as I find that to imagine. :(

It is everywhere I have ever lived. And I never intended to insult you, if you took it that way then there is nothing I can do about it. Doug Goulden wrote: Maybe you think that the Dixie Chicks are experts at US foreign policy, I don't. I don't even think they are experts in music. But, they do have a right (as you said) to express their opinion any time they want on any forum they choose. It is up to individuals to educate themselves; far too many people (on both sides of the argument) are simply choosing to follow the crowd in this whole affair. Hey don't worry, I can handle it.

So is this how you fight bullshit? With more bullshit? When did I say they don't have such rights? I just questioned the apparent innocence of this whole thing. And I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying I'm suspicious. If a bunch of white kids somehow manage to organize a protest in favor of the Klu Klux Klan, what would you think? Regards, Alvaro
