There is no part of Clinton I’d ever put in my mouth period.
You just had to go there.
Dintcha.

You can't have it both ways kid. If I'm supposed to believe you're an expert on gun policy because you "were there" when a shooting happened then how am I to trust you to rebuild the world when you "weren't here" until the last 17 years of recorded history?

He goes on to suggest ALL generations that came before him F**KED up the world, should apologize to him, and that his generation should be allowed to rebuild it, yet at 17 years of age, he hasn't been here long enough to experience virtually ANY of the world. Even worse is that his generation has viewed too much of it through the f**ked up lens of the internet.
I'm sorry you experienced this tragedy firsthand, especially as children. Everything may seem f**ked up to you but no, we don't need you to rebuild the world. That is a very scary thought. Way too scary. No apology forthcoming.
These kids are the definition of audacious. (Not the good definition either.)
When I was 20, I knew everything. Then I turned 30, and realized what a doofus I was at 20, but now at 30 I know everything. Then I turned 40 and realized that at 30 I was an idiot, but at least now at 40 I had all the answers. When 50 rolled around I looked back at my 40 YO self, and... well, you get the idea. Rinse, and repeat.
It's still hard, but at least now I can start to understand that I don't know what I don't know.
I was once in a place where one of the soldiers there had an expert rifle emblem. I asked if he was an expert in rifles. His reply, "Nope. That would imply that I knew everything in rifles. I do not. I just shoot good."
That comment has stuck with me through my lifetime. I have been called an expert at certain things, but never considered myself as such.
I tell youger guys, when you are smart enough to know you aren't smart enough, then you will be good at what you do.
The point is, these people have been through one incident and that makes them experts? Not likely. I'm sorry, but their attitude about all of this is insulting.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

I wonder what's gonna happen when these people get out in the real world and go after a job and when their prospective employer looks at their social media, what will happen then? Really think an employer is going to want to hire that? I suppose maybe a news station or something like that would use it as PR.

Yea. Ain't that swell. UN has never been known for getting anything right. Why the UN still exists has always been a problem for me. At least now we aren't paying for the whole thing. It is a good idea to move it to a 3rd world country and see how they handle it.

"Earlier, speaking at a regional workshop on Public Distribution System (PDS) in Agartala, the chief minister said the Internet was invented “lakhs of years ago” and that the technology and satellites were even present during Mahabharata days. “Not US and other Western countries, but the Internet was invented by India lakhs of years ago,” he was quoted as saying.
“Many may decline the fact, but if the Internet was not there, how Sanjay, could see the war in Kurukshetra and describe it to Dhritarashtra? It means Internet was there, the satellites and that technology was there in this country at that time,” he said as per Tripura Infoway."

I just spent about 15 minutes scrolling through Yahoo and MSN news feeds, and thought "We need a 'What the hell is wrong with people' thread". Then I remembered this thread, which pretty well covers the subject, and thought "I should thank @webmost for this."
Thanks!

P.S. Please don't re-post all the fake quotes and fake videos and photo-shopped fake images of these kids. That just helps their cause. Keep it real.
