    Yes! Children are begging adults for help! This is basic human behavior!

    You girls have a distinct tactic of trying to put words in my mouth. I said the students feelings were exploited. I made no assumptions about the students.
    Have fun with the head games. I don't play.

    Assuming their feelings are exploited is an assumption.

    It's not a head game, its basic logic

    I'm willing to bet $50 these aren't Republican voters.

    Basic logic is that George Soros bought and used their pain.

    Complete the connection or remain ignorant of it.

    lol oh yes, the standard answer. George Soros is behind everything conservatives don't like. Can you send me his email address? He owes me a lot of money for my protests.

    The kids are in pain all on their own. They've taken action on their own, even if they used a liberal tool like google to get ideas. Their message is their own. Sure, people who believe in that message are glomming on - that always happens in every national political discussion. It's not a conspiracy. Rich republicans are doing the same thing to counter this message.

    And all of that means absolutely nothing in terms of adults being adults and protecting our children.

    So your point is that the kids are being fooled? Manipulated? What does Soros have to do with them marching and trying to stop the slaughter of their fellow students nationwide?

    Scratcho, the only point I've made is that this was not an organic demonstration. The walkout origin belongs to Womens March., Soros benefactor and puppet.

    I wanted to answer you.

    Now I'm finished.

    Women's March contacted the students asking them to participate.

    Well, if they helped, good for them. Regardless, these kids will soon be voting and it just may happen that the chickens will come home to roost for those that take hundreds of thousands and some millions of dollars from the NRA. I hope.

    PS: And MAGA=Mueller ain't going away.

    PPS: And hopefully, republicans will PAY.

    I think it's great to see theses young people getting involved in politics. Reminds me of the 60's.
    It appears the March For Our Lives scheduled for March 24 originated with Cameron Kasky, Emma Gonzalez, Alex Wind and other student survivors from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

    Not their mothers.

    Youth Empower and Women's March put out the call for the walkout.

    No, mothers in general, oddly, care about children

    So what they put out the call?

    Neo, if you're speaking to me, I never said students were forced.

    What's up with not hearing what I said?

    I guess I don't understand your issue then. They asked kids to participate and the kids chose to.

    They weren't forced--even you agree that that's not what happened.

    So where is the exploitation and manipulation?

    What is so goddamn LIBERAL (not a dirty word!) about trying to enact some common sense gun control measures?

    Some people should not be allowed to own a gun.

    No one should be allowed to own a semi-automatic assault weapon.

    If you're caught in possession of a gun illegally the punishment should be severe.

    So there.

    Now can we get back to the subject of how the Republicans are screwed and that Trump could be the harbinger of their demise?
