........I didn't know shit about politics when I was 12.

p.S- She probably said that terrorists would blow Kerry up, because their name is uh, TERRORISTS for a reason. They just dont pick pretty little flowers and join hands around a rainbow.

But they also don't just do shit for no reason...they have reason to back up what they do. They're still people and they can still be reasonable and TRYING to make peace is NEVER a bad thing...

Just because they're young doesn't make them an idiot or imcompetant of making their own valid decision. Age ain't nothing but a number . Hell, America generation are getting more focused on politics at a younger age than in the fact, We'll probably have 3 year old voting in the next 20 years lol ! And Possum you're not that much older than the "mac and cheese eating, homework doing, cartoon watching kids" so don't get all hypocritical.

i didnt say they were idiots.. Dont take it out of content. I said a lot of them dont know whats going on. Just come here, and ask kids who is Dick Cheney and all that. When they attack Afghanistan, all the kids here thought that Afghanistan was the enemy, and they said Afghanistan killed americans.. Im telling you, from what I see here, kids dont have a clue about whats going on.. FROM WHAT I SEE HERE

your view is obscured.

That's what I read when I saw the thread too.. or rather, it's what my mind wanted me to read.

I'd say, that's not because they are kids. Cause I'm talking to a kid who lives in your place right now, and he doesn't seem to meet the standards you mention. You might know the kid too, his name is George.

Bottom line, I won't doubt what you say in the least. But I do doubt your reason for saying it's because they're kids. Kids aren't 'not' into politics by definition. There are those who are really into that stuff, such as yourself, and many more I know of.

Not all their views are the same either. But those who don't have a clue, usually don't have a clue because they suck one way or the other. That doesn't have much to do with age, cause there are plenty of peeps of my age who don't have a clue either. Some are flat out ignorant because of God knows what, and others just don't care enough to get a clue in the first place, heh.

That guy? Oh yeah! I've seen him around.

Yeah I understand they aren't into politics, but what Im saying is that if you dont know what you're saying about somone, dont say anything at all because that just makes yourself look stupid. People at my school, MY AGE, Hate Bush, I asked one of them what party is Bush in, and whos the vice president, and they dont know. So I asked why they dont like him, and they said because of their parents. Any age group can or is able to educated in some sort of level, with the little kids, they can be tought in a light way, but people my age, and yours, have to know whats going on, before they say what they can talk about.. Im not saying all kids who watch Nickelodeon are stupid. I like mac and cheese and sponge bob too and all that, what im saying is that the kids who mainly watch Nickelodeon are the kids 6-13.. and some of them shouldn't be able to vote in things like these, without knowing whats going on.

Yes, it is true, that it is very ignorant to not be involved or not care about anything. Politics are one of the most powerful gifts given to man by god and democracy, a lot of people take advantage of it, and dont even care.. Maybe if America became a dictator country, they wouldnt feel the same way. People often take democracy for granted.

YesJess

Yeah I was going to say... George is 14. He's a kid.

Lemons

Yes, Yes I am, and I'm not no hurry to grow up. Nature will get on the track sooner or later.
