Youth motivated to political action, and there just has to be a conspiracy theory

These tones echo through everything now. I mean 82 posted a picture of Hillary with a Broward County Sheriff with a caption indicating that the killing was orchestrated.

Who is paying for chartered buses then? $4k a pop with overnight stay, not cheap, never cheap.
 
It isnt going to be something as dishonest as the environmenta) nonesense.
I’m not going down that street. Suffice it to say, IF the day comes where the effects are truly undeniable....that would be the catalyst I’m speaking of

People dont trust the government and they feel the media is propaganda for the government. its hard to pay attention to current events and disagree with them.
I agree. One of the measures to prevent this is teaching kids how to negotiate the media. How to read different sides/ perspectives of subjects, in order to pull out the legitimate facts and form opinions.
 
There is absolutely zero historical evidence for this. This is simply more of your Utopian sentimentality coming through. It's why you have a hard time accepting the reality of what is going on all over the West and the push-back against collectivism that is gaining momentum all over Europe.
Brushy, the human mind evolves and the human spirit can grow as our mental capabilities advance. Civilization has made strides throughout history. Looking at history as a setter of limits is just sad and pathetic. We learn from history, of course, but we strive for discovery of new parameters of existence.
 
I don’t agree. I think eventually a generation will understand the necessity of coming together. It might take a catalytic event. I like the environment will be that catalyst.

People forget how radical the youth of the 60's and early 70's were. We survived.

They were the first generation of post-Christian/post-truth youth. We're now 50+ years into this Cultural Marxist experiment and there are no simple solutions to our political or cultural divisions.

You need to spend a few weeks reading US political history and put down the laptop for a while.

Sure there were no divisions when everybody was Christian

Good grief you're dense. Of course there were divisions, but they were minor and handled using standards and practices honed over centuries of trial and error. There was also a common understanding of how civilization could/should function, that's no longer the case because "conservatives" prefer the tried and true methods while liberals prefer to ignore these and try it their own way.

generalize much?

“Tried and true”....and I’m dense?

Lol, evidently Trump is their idea of how civilization could/should function. But they can't see why after 8 years of dissing Obama for everything from smoking to mom jeans the fact they will overlook anything their Godly Trump does or has done just slide on by doesn't seem hypocritical and false to intelligent folk. They believe they are morally superior to most people, either by their color or wallets and now we get to see what they are really all about. They went from running McCain to embracing a draft dodger calling a POW hero a loser, and then they wanna wrap themselves up in the flag and say everything black is white and white is black and as long as God gave us a pussy grabbing porn star ****ing narcissist we will be happy. So let them act like parasites and demean these kids who sound more educated than half those Florida state legislators, they think they are growing their base.

Damn brother! Nice! Funny you mention the "godly" Trump. I honestly believe a large faction of the right believe he was sent by God and truly is to be treated accordingly. My best friend told me he was chosen by God to be our president.....how does one counter that argument?

I keep forgetting boomboom, feelings before facts in your world. My bad, won't happen again.
Oh you mean “tried and true” like distorting Gods word in order to form different sects, burning people at the stake, enslaving generations of people for looking different, wars, crusades, people being drawn and quartered in the public sphere.....that kind of “tried and true”?

No, but thanks for playing. [eyeroll]
 
These kids don't have the life experience to be taken seriously, no matter what their opinion is.

I know many on the Left will get upset with this comparison, but if these kids are understandably upset about the wanton slaughter of innocent Human Life...wonder how many of them are as upset over the slaughter of 2 million innocent unborns a year? Some probably are, but wanna bet most of them are "pro choice" meaning "Pro abortion"?

It's not the same thing, but then again it is if you really drill down. I'm reposting this from last week just for thought...so some on the board can see that a lot of this is purely Leftist fed political activism because the proposed solution (a gun ban) won't work.

Let's parse this out. God does set the leaders before us He desires. Usually it's what we deserve though. In Clinton, GWB, Obama, and Trump, all becoming less of an example of God each iteration, it appears to be true.

This does not mean that Christians hold these leaders on a pedestal. They are who they are, and we are to follow when they don't cause conflicts with our belief.

Thanks for that!

And the free will thing...it doesn’t exist in the voting booth?

This is so amusing to me...Trump wasn't responsibile for anything prior to that sad massacre last week. The economy? It was all Obama's. Peace breaking out in the Middle East? It was due to coalition building from previous administrations. The election? The Russians stole it for him, he didn't even win the popular vote! Legislative agenda? Dismal failure couldn't even get Health care or a budget passed, hated by most Americans and despised by folks even in his own party! A bufoon, wholesale resignations from his team because they're so disgusted with his inept leadership right?

One Florida massacre later...It's all Trump's fault, he's not doing enough to protect our Children, he's against kids being slaughtered... he simply doesn't care...so we need more gun control...ban assault weapons...get rid of Trump...enough is enough!!!!!

We'd all be safer if he was gone...impeach him now!!!!!!

I don’t think he mentioned Trump being responsible for the shooting in the post. He responded to a post from Brushy about civilization being unable to cure division. You’re not really reading the post you’re responding to

So you read it more than once and still think railing about him blaming Trump for the shooting is legit?
