young political activists have yet to grow up?

Question

anyone ever notice these little college hippies sitting on these forums talking about how theyre going to change the world and end poverty and promote world peace and all this cheesy crap? sounds like they either need to grow up and learn the harsh realities of reality, or they need to quit smoking so much weed and get back to reality.
its just funny how theyre so naive and optimistic when theyre 20, then when they become 40 the cliche's dont mean anything anymore because they realize that its incredibly difficult to help someone who wont help themselves.
age really seems to make a difference in party affiliation.

usama, the left has the majority of young people, while the GOP is barely managing with them. why do you think virtually all universities are leftist? GOP members are usually older. apparenty you havent noticed.

Answer 1

Hmmm I am 15.. where do you stand on me? I am a 15 year old conservative (yes i actually know what that means, i'm not an idiot) , so I guess that doesnt apply to me.

Oh Usama.... what good are we doing for those people giving them handouts??? Creating a vicious cycle that wont be stopped anytime soon. Telling people they dont have to find work. So, no, making people dependant on the govt. is not Christ-like.

Oh and love your neighbor doesnt have anything to do with "pay for your neighbor"

Answer 2

I love that "college hippies" are talking and showing that they actually care about this country we live in, nothing wrong with getting involved no matter the age. I suppose they could just hide in their rooms playing Nintendo and smoking pot letting their parents make all their future decisions for them.
I have a huge optimistic attitude and as a health care worker in my 30s, I probably know better then most that it is difficult to help someone who won't help themselves, but I practice patience and learn techniques on how to speak and motivate others. It would be easier and more effective to just put a gun to their head but with force comes resistance and that never works.

Investor Bankers vote Democrat. Wall highway provides far greater to the Democratic social gathering than the Republican social gathering. Germany's Investor Bankers LOED Adolph Hitler. They positioned him in ability. the clarification is in simple terms. NAZIs/Democrats believe in government administration over employer and the financial device. this means the investment judgements are simmply. Obama president COAL is undesirable. Obama president photograph voltaic is solid. It do no longer remember if photograph voltaic can no longer make funds. Obama won't enable the industry fail. The banks understand the place to place their funds. there's no longer something loose industry with regards to the Wall highway investment Banker.

Answer 4

Sadly, since Thatcher in Britain and Reagan in the US and the whole "greed is good" philosophy, the saying,
"If you haven't rebelled by the time you're 20, you've got no heart. If you're not establishment by the time you're 40, you've got no brain" is truer now than it ever was.

Answer 5

Ahh alot of people were in that state of mind at one point or another. I think its just a stage of life we learn from but why kill the spirit of well meaning enthusiasm.. even if it is misguided.

Answer 6

They have so much to learn, they are very ignorant of the world around them.

Answer 7

Answer 9
