    No. But I’m an adult and I pretty much know the stakes. (I’m also for stricter gun control.) I don’t need slam poetry. Don’t you feel like your emotions are constantly being played? Doesn’t that...get old?

    They should have shitcanned Corbyn after they didn't win the last election two years ago. He's a complete twit.

    I could not believe the posts on my town's Facebook page ripping into the MSD protesters as being put up to it by Soros. Some people start with a certain world view and no facts are going to change them.

    Let's say you surf through cable news tonight and hear X number of statements.

    Which ones are "facts"? And how did you arrive at that decision?

    You could do honest research on them. Or, like much of America, you'll believe the ones that fit your views.

    When these kids are older and maybe have kids of their own, will they think they were wrong?

    It's not exactly the same, but very similar to the GOP advantage in US gerrymandering. You gotta remember all it takes is 326 to hold the House of Commons. The anti-Tory vote is split numerous ways amongst Labour, the Lib Dems, the Greens and the nationalist parties. With the first-past-the-post system in place in the UK, it almost locks in a Tory advantage.

    It has to be a curb-stomping in the completely other direction to knock the Conservatives out of power. Which has happened before.

    Exactly. The first-past-the-post system is the real culprit in this.

    No. I'm just saying let them have a voice. You don't seem to want to give them one if they have people working for them you don't agree with. You seem happy with classrooms where active-shooter drills are as common as a field trip or soccer signups. But enjoy your bubble.
