@Cippy91 Dude wtf is your issue. You responded with this to my non-divisive post. I purposely wrote it that way to NOT START an argument. I then reply while being nice I may add with this. I did not give dates at this time as I didn't believe it was necessary. You're an intelligent guy. But you then double down on it, saying these kids are just seeking attention. They won't care in a week, as they'll be onto the next fad/sjw. I shouldn't have to bring up dates. Your post was a wtf moment. Therefore I become condescending because you're also being condescending or trolling idk which. Then you start playing the victim. I make a haiku. You dismiss 17/18 year olds again. I guess 34+ year olds are far more logical than you. 8+ more years of life experience. Dude wtf. You don't have to be a 26 year old to know you don't want to get shot while in school. It's not illogical for kids to ask adults who are supposed to provide for your safety. To do their job.
You truly are showing your ignorance. These kids have their shit together better than you do and at least believe in something enough to march for it. All you do is sit in a basketball forum attacking and putting them down with nothing but generalizations. How sad.
News flash = People have been predicting our demise for a long long time. And it looks like your adding your voice to that throng, as if to say "Any day now."
Sometimes what you hate in others is what you secretly hate about yourself. So if you hate on the kids for having short attention spans, not being consistent with their opinions, lacking knowledge on a subject or having no staying power on said subject...and you yourself have never voted...well, it's called projection. Now if you don't mind me, I'm going to listen to some Allman brothers.
It is completely over dramatic and entirely judgemental. Cippy may have made a comment about these kids that was overly dismissive of their intent. He may not have given them enough credit. Then HCP comes in with his bias showing as usual. He reserves his judgement for those he disagrees with or just doesn't like. He mentioned recently some black friends posting militant stuff (something like that) on Facebook but he basically gives them a pass because he understands their background or just doesn't want to call them out on it. @HCP could clarify this if he cares. @Cippy91 has not learned that making any off the cuff remark that goes against the group in OT is just asking for emotional outbursts of righteous indignation.
Wow, I think murders committed with guns might not be a good thing now! This is an interesting topic that I'm not sure anyone has ever touched upon in this country before.
I don’t agree with gun control at all, respect their right to protest. Wish these kids were given the correct facts when it comes to guns, but truth isn’t the thing they want to hear right now. I do hope changes are made to school security from this though, armed security, an ID swipe entry would be a good start.
That small piece of shit shot and killed a legend but most importantly a legend who preached and followed the principals' of peace.
Then it really shouldn't matter who came up with the sign. Now excuse me while I go search for a Ford Hemi engine.
A Ford hemi is real. A big block 350 still isn't. On topic, would it bother you if kids were used as pawns in other political protests? Say the same kid holding an anti abortion sign his dad made for him?
They made some. Anyone could make a hemi head. It is just the shape of the combustion chamber. Chrysler was just known for them. I suggest you ignore Cupwizzer when it comes to cars.
Think for a minute. These kids aren't millenials bro. They're From the parents who have seen the millenials. These kids are smart. They grew up being taught how to confront bullies. They haven't been told they're special... These are the older kids from my son's generation. They're just 5-6 years older than him. These kids are different and you're selling them short. They're smarter and wiser than you think.
