    Robert, you are sounding as goofy as ChoppedLiver.

    The Russians were not voting. You do know that, yes? But they were interfering with the election.

    Sane and rational parents should never send their children to "Gun Free Zone" public schools and instead home school their children.

    What would "meaningful gun reform" be? A ban on AR-15's?

    Even if there was enough support for that idea to pass it into law, it would take months or years to do it.

    How many high school students do you think would be willing to postpone their graduation from high school by months or years?

    It's February. Try telling a high school senior he's taking the rest of the year off, he won't graduate in June, and he's returning to high school next year to finish.

    Lotsa luck.

    See, fortunately for you, I had come back from Germany after my Army tour so I am very well aware of protests.

    First I really resented them. I saw them as not supporting the Johnson invasion of South Vietnam. One of the first things Democrats tell us is that the government supported by Johnson was corrupt. So this must excuse his invasion forces.

    I then loyal to the Army of Johnson was angry at the demonstrations. I felt his invasion was to win the war.

    Alas, he did not intend to win. He used body counts and I saw that as new. We did not body count the Germans during WW2. What we then did was take note of territory captured. Johnson was not in the territory capturing business. When I saw this, I wanted our troops back home and out of harms way.

    Nixon looked to me as if he put it back on a WW2 type of war so had he just stuck it out, he had victory. We learned much later that the north wanted to surrender.

    My oldest daughter home schooled her boys and it was actually to keep them out of danger. She was fearful of the school system and until she found a safe school district, she home schooled both boys. It was hell for her to get them into the safe system but she is tough. She prevailed.

    Nixon was not correct either. The Vietnam situation was a political war and therefore not a war that could have been won using WWII methods. In fact the reason we did not win is because we tried WWII two methods.

    I've always been interested in politics. I remember watching the 1968 presidential election returns (Nixon/Humphrey) with my Dad in the Chicago suburbs. We colored in our map of the states as they were called for each candidate. I was only six years old. I was a political freak.

    Are they boycotting school to get teachers armed? More police? What do they want? Are they waiting for adults to tell them what they want?

    Ah, the far right are afraid for their weapons, instead of the students.

    For the ones with the parents that are actually parenting, they will end up with a better education than they are getting at the vast majority of govt schools.

    Some day long in the future:

    Little Timmy, let me tell you about the time I cared so much about ending gun violence that me and a bunch of fellow warriors walked out of a high school class for 17 whole minutes. We sure did change the world that day!

    That is the most retarded poll I've ever read. Where is the choice, "Drop out and and declare eligible for the NBA draft without an education or literacy skills"? :roflol:

    We normally don't see this type of behavior except from ISIS or the Taliban..........children used as human shields to attain a goal or means. But hey, that's the left. You expected something different?

    It is good to see the Alt Right etc out themselves using the dead children as blocking shields for their evil ways.
