Don't pull the new bit on me please - (Shame)

Debate - you are not in a debate - you are in an attack mode - In My Opinion -

This was my "first" post - and I post it again -:

+++++

Nice article -


9/11 had an impact on many - of all ages.


Other Youths and Teens:

But I think on the political scene - some will need to be talked to again. If all these stories of the youth being registered to vote - and about fraud - are true - Because I think there might be people telling them their role in voting is to disrupt the establishment - much like what the "flower children" did in the 60s. I believe Spain's youth got the same speech - and voted -

just thoughts -

End
++++

Now - Please notice the line - "Other Youths and Teens" - I spoke on the article then spaced and put down what I thought was happening with the youths and teens that were caught up in the registering to vote and fraud issue -

First time voters - I am concerned that they are being led to believe that their reason for voting this year is to disrupt the establishment - much like what was done before by the "flower children" of the 60s - And since Spain had a lot of young first time voters - and they went Socialist - that was why I included Spain -

I hope you understand what it was I was posting - Why would I have included Aust. - they didn't fall for it, in that you are correct - but I was trying to show something other than what you took it to be -

You didn't need to repeat your post, which I had already read. As I responded to it, I disagree. I've met a young man who happens to be a marine, who lives on my street, who has in the past 2 years, graduated from high school, enlisted in the marines, been deployed to Fallujah, and served there for approximately 3 times as long as JOHN KERRY ever served in VIETNAM.

No, after having met him, I guess I don't agree with you that the youth on our political scene need to be "talked to again". I have faith in them. You don't. That's where we depart company. And they are nothing like "the flower children of the 60's".
