its sad..

The student movement is fueled by emotion and photogenic optics. An analysis of the message is simply knee jerk reaction and no sense of the causes of these attacks or any understanding of the rights they are exercising to protest or the other rights they are urging us to curtail. It amazes me that the Parkland students blame the rifle instead of considering the broken person who wielded it. I wonder how these popular and entitled kids treated Cruz in the years of loss and twisted thought that led to the attack. As I watch the students, I get a sense of suburban affluence and entitlement that obliterates any consideration or understanding of the balance of constitutional rights that they are demanding to end. Tantrum is the message, and they want what they want no matter what.

That's my impression as well.

It's good old fashion spoiled brats, who's parents are just clueless on how to raise their children so the allow society to do it for them. Kids today if left to their own devices will just go into a room, and turn on their laptop. They spend hours of wasted time instead of just calling their friends on the phone, they text even when in the same room, It's stunting their social and mental growth. They only speak to those who have the same views on everything as they do, and think that whatever they say is important and original. Parents are so overwhelmed with holding down 2 jobs to pay for the crap that they believe they are supposed to have, that they have no time or no interest or education themselves to interfere, they don't talk to their kids anymore and they don't have a clue what the kids are even into. This is the norm for most of the kids you see on TV. The well behaved and family oriented ones don't get covered with this slanted fake news. The Fear of not being accepted along with the Money, being poured into this attempt at destroying our rights, give them the Power to effect changes that we will have to live with if we do nothing.

^^^this!!!! So many of us fail to act because we think it doesn’t effect us, but give it time. This also why gun owners will never mobilize, we are our on worst enemy!

Drive by the sports fields on Sunday afternoon and you’ll see a big part of what’s wrong with America. You’ll find kids practicing baseball this time of year. Parents dump them off at what seems like a wholesome sport. But these childhood sports are eating away at family time. 7 year olds don’t need to practice baseball 3 days a week especially Sunday. Nor does a 7 year old need to play games 5 hours from home. It’s constant. Kids are pulled from their family time. Parents go broke on uniforms and driving not to mention all the fast food while chasing these kids. They roll right into another sport when the season ends. These jackwagon coaches setup games during holiday weekends even. I’m sorry we’re not leaving thanksgiving lunch at grandmas to get to little dribblers.
People are unknowingly being pawns for destroying the family. I skipped a JR high football game when I was in 7th grade to go to a church men’s retreat with my grandpa. I remember well the epic dove hunt and bass fishing from that trip. I don’t recall any specific game from my Jr high or high school foot ball career and I did start both ways all through that.
