I heard a "youth" call Michael Medved's show...and complain that the reason those "youths" in France were doing that is because---"no one listens to the youth these days..and we have to find any way we can to be heard"....yeah, right.

I never understand this mentality. What makes them think we weren't paying attention to them? We listened - we just dismissed what they had to say, that's all.

Listening doesn't mean we accept their point of view.

When I was a yout and the group of very young kids I was hanging with torched a trash container near a school, my late father 'listened to me' with a ping pong paddle on my rear. Probably was the best thing he ever did for me.

Total B.S.

There is a 22 year old man who entered politics for the first time, here in my city. He won, hands down.

If these "youths" really do care about their country, they won't burn it down.

Something tells me that they are not demonstrating because no one listens. Howevever, I am open to information. If this is not a Jihad, let us (the rest of Western Civilization) know.

And then... the U.S. won't give a .. darn. If this is only internal s$it... I don't want any American shedding blood. But if this is something bigger...

I wish the politicians would be honest, just for once.

Okay, sorry my kids are sick and me too...

Simplest response to this logic is "how would you like the answer in the same language".
