America's Youth Don't know war. DON'T TOUCH WET PAINT!!!!
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 04:53 AM by KRose
Its the wet paint thoery. You put a sign up that says: "Caution Wet Paint." Some dork has to come along read the sign and touch the paint; "Oh that's still wet paint!" YES DORK ITS WHY WE PUT THE SIGN UP!

Young people dont understand the world or how policies or resentment back-fire. They won't understand war or that the paint is wet till they experience it for themselves.

America is Big and Bad we want to use our muscle! Life in America is boring! War is exciting! Democrats should push for a draft everyone under 50 who has not served in the Armed Services should be considered eligible! No deferments should be given to anyone for any reason!

1. A mainstream party couldn't convince adults to vote for them
and blames the youth for losing.

Truly pathetic.

2. No blame just an explanation.
Its clear many kids were swept away with the defense of America. It's not the youth's fault - they simply just don't understand war.

3. Neither do the adults who vote for Bush
Why single out younger voters?

I think you could pick any subgroup who didn't vote for Kerry strongly enough. It's unfair to point the finger at any one of them.

4. I'm under 50, never military, and seen more war than -
probably 90% of the US military. Upclose. Maybe more than 95%.

But I think I get your point.

8. That sounds fair.
They can also take part in a lottery for who will be the next terrorist target.

And they can pay off his fucking debt, too.
