You'll see the biggest bunch of gen X pussies ever collected in one room.

They want exit strategies, no casualties....they want no collateral damage....they want a nice little war...except please don't call it a war- that's too scary.

"When is it going to end?" the dippy girl from Jersey asks.

Answer: it's not going to end sweetheart. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be.

They want all the good that America provides, but they don't sound like they are willing to pay the price to defend it.

I guess the young people that really care about this country are already in the sevice, because they sure as fuck weren't on TV tonight.
 
Yes, the horrible apathetic, misguided, don't give a shit, not living in reality youth. Every single one of us.
 
Angel- the last line was said somewhat tongue in cheek, so don't get yer knickers in a twist. Although it may have looked that way, I wasn't trying to condemn the entire 24 and under population of the U.S.

I was, however, pretty shocked at how simplisticly a lot of the kids on this program were thinking. It doesn't appear they screened the studio audience for any kind of brains or rational thinking ability.

"More killing would be wrong...why can't we just negotiate with these people?" seemed to be a pretty standard sentiment. Total ignorance of the way the real world operates.

Don't you remember being young and thinking that you knew everything? Wondering why the older people couldn't see the world through your eyes, since what was wrong was just so damn obvious?

We all grow up in spite of ourselves.
 
I'm for rounding up the stupid........

And putting them in internment camps.

I figure I'd be one of the first interned.

Of course I'd become a leader there and eventually turn the stupid minions into my slaves.

Kinda like Sparticus in reverse.

Eventually we would escape and our hordes would overtake the "smart people" and we would rule the world.

Isn't that what Bin Landen is doing?
 
Lavendar

What has happened?
You used to be more eloquent.
Are you posting undr the influence?

Or one I had a chick doing me while she talked to her mother on the phone.

Or like a part of the Andra_Jenny show.

Cheyenne- I was a kid once, and maybe I thought I knew it all, maybe not.

I think that throughout my life I have been pretty consistent in thinking that if someone attacks my country and kills 6,000 of my fellow citizens, the time for talk is over.

I think that I've always understood that there is no excuse for some actions. Some people don't understand negotiation, they only understand strength and weakness. When they sense weakness, they attack.

Those are the type of people we have to deal with now.
 
I saw a clip of a peace rally at the state university on tv the other night. Kids yelling about how they won't go to fight "your war." It caused a flashback to the 60's for me. I was only a kid then, but I remember seeing the same thing on tv with college kids marching against the Vietnam war. I remember Kent State from the news, not from history books.

I don't think it matters what the war is, who we are fighting, or why. There will always be those idealistic kids in college who think they know everything already and are ready to march to let the rest of us in on their knowledge. The words even stay the same, decades later. "Hell no, we won't do" has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it?
