much better, but I have to point out the Nirvana music video shot in a high school gym wasn't for "smells like child spirit"
The real reason behind the Government Shutdown?

Sure one has more life experience. That doesn’t mean the teens get a “kids will be kids” complete absolution for their behavior though, IMO. DChi and I have already had this discussion.
I didn't give a "kids will be kids" absolution. I'm saying the 64 year old adult knew exactly what he was doing when he walked up to the group of teens. The man is a known political activist, not some guy who wandered off from the nursing home.
If the stationary group of teens waiting for their bus was actually in the way of his march, the 64 year old adult thing to do is walk around the group of teens. Had he done that and the teens moved into his path, I'd completely agree with you.
This is interesting. The Oklahoma Child Welfare Department will take your teenager from you if you're abusive. And people pay child support for teenagers.
Just about everyone in this country excluding Native Americans come from immigrants! We need better border security but a wall won’t do it!
We need a pathway to citizenship for those who come legally and work through the process and we need enforcement for those entering illegally!
A wall won’t stop the flow of illegals but more manpower will and that is where the most money should be spent rather than a monument to stupidity like a 5 Billion dollar wall they’ll tunnel under!
Just need better background checks at purchase especially at places that are wide open now, gun shows and private sale. None allowed by law for mentally ill or felons as it exists now. Common sense changes imo.
Teenagers mostly suck at acting like responsible humans. They are ignorant and awkward. That’s why adults should act like adults around them.
I work with teenagers all the time and expecting 15-17 year olds to act like anything but morons unless you use your coach voice is pretty optimistic.
And how exactly are you going to regulate the private sale of guns?
They dissed you?
Have I mentioned how much I hate typos lately?
Because I expect more of a 64 year old man than I do a group of teenagers that the 64 year old man purposely initiated contact with? Yeah, makes perfect sense.
No, because you give them a pass for what they did once he walked up to them.
Listen to what you are saying.....he knew what he was doing when he (oh my God! Such an affront!)...walked up to a group of kids....sounds a lot like he got what he deserved.
He knew what he was doing....the kids couldn’t help themselves....kids will be kids...
Sounds exactly like a gun control argument.
If banning guns saves just one life....
It’s a logical fallacy there....and here.
And stay on their parent's health insurance until they are almost "I'm a man...I'm 40".
Come on JD... you are generally good at catching sarcasm and mocking - as poke2001 obviously was.
If you are mocking him in rebuttal and I missed it... well done.
Uh, no, that's not what I said. At all. Maybe you should read it again without changing what I actually wrote into what you wanted me to write to confirm yourself.No, because you give them a pass for what they did once he walked up to them.

Those who come here legally have a built in pathway to citizenship. Those who are illegal have broken the law to be here and need to get in the legal line first.
Walls and fences work. That's why they are in countries around the world, built around people's houses, built around entire communities, built around prisons, fence multiple houses in most neighborhoods, and countless other uses to deny access or prevent people from moving from one side to the other. Are they infallible? No, very little is.
Read it again. Still sounds like you’re giving the kids a pass for their conduct in the whole thing because Phillips knew what he was getting into.
If you’re not, good on ya.
Yeah, still no. We were discussing expectations of age groups. I made a post about what I would expect a group of adults to do in that situation. I've made no statements about anyone being to blame or if they're deserving of anything. I didn't even address what I expected the teens to do.
I would expect a 44 year old man to not think it's hilarious to bang on the doors of rooms in a seedy motel at 1 a.m. while yelling "DEA." When there happens to be actual drug dealers in one of the rooms who come out and beat him nearly to death, I would expect that to have been a possible consequence. I'd blame both for their respective behaviors.
Is the 44 year old deserving of the beating? No. Did he open himself up to getting beat up because of his behavior? Yes. Are the drug dealers off the hook because he was an idiot? No. Would I expect a beatdown as a possible response from a group of drug dealers? Yes.
If you still don't see it, that's cool.
Like I said...if you’re not giving the teens in this matter a pass for their behavior due to their age....good on ya.
You're the one that retyped my initial post to fit your version of what I thought/typed. My initial post is still there. Not something you normally do, but meh, it is what it is I guess. I'm just clarifying that your words are your words, not mine.
I said what it sounded like to me.
You disclaimed that is what you meant.
I accepted your disclaimer and said good on ya.
I don’t understand what the problem is here.
We all good, brother.
I edited to include
Of course we all good. I always have love for the JD even when we disagree.
I don’t even think we’re disagreeing here.

The "disagree" part wasn't about this conversation, just in general.
Briefly on the subject of the teens just because...
I would expect them to keep their yappers shut and their eyes forward. They are there representing their school in a learning capacity. Act like it. Their interaction with the crazy Black Israelites is what caught people's attention to begin with. If a group comes up appearing to want confrontation of any type, ignore them or move. They aren't nearly wise enough to navigate the DC protest snake pit, so don't try. Too many people are there to get attention in any way they can and are skilled enough to sink the entire Pacific fleet with one torpedo.
Interesting, minors can not legally enter in to a contract and if it can be proven an adult is intoxicated a contract under some circumstances can be voided. But yet in a public setting with cameras rolling, minors are now on equal footing with adults? Why then have chaperones?
Why do minors have to be certified as an adult to stand trial for murder?
Seems to me when it comes to contributory negligence that a minor’s contribution to said negligence would be far less legally than an adult.

In what way is taunting Indigenous People’s Marchers representing the school in a “learning capacity”? Wouldn’t that be accomplished on a Friday by being in the classroom?
Just sayin’
I'm guessing you didn't read the post before applying your greasy dick beaters to the keyboard. Stop "just sayin" and use your 27 ACT brain occasionally.
