Scarping the bottom of the barrel. Relevance to this thread?

( Tip - it's a round circular figure, it's 2 minus 2, it's the qulaity of this post in this thread)

Ty you're offended (again) thread, jokes thread or WTF thread.

Otherwise it was full of merit (or full of something)

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I never knew there was an age limit on protesting. So if a priest molests a child that child should just keep quiet as they are not old enough to know about their rights.

I would rather live in a world where the children question what Adults to them rather than sit there and be quiet.

Would you follow your 13 year olds advice regards the household budget, the mortgage or what car to buy?
If not, then why would think they have anything informed to say about national policy?

I can't help but feel your support for the child protests is due to the fact that they align with your political views.
Say that 5,000 catholic school students went on strike and protested in town against abortion rights.
Would you also consider them wonderful and wise or would you denounce them as a bunch or brainwashed fools?

You see that with gun rights in the USA. Total morons like David Hogg get air time, exposure and plaudits because his views match the leftist agenda but intelligent guns rights activists like Kyle Kashuv get railroaded.

Maybe these kids would be better served learning the basics that Australia is now falling so far behind in rather than being willing political pawns for activist leftist teachers and parents.

What saddens me most about this is kids are now fighting FOR the mainstream, establishment agendas.
