    You mean riding on the coat tails of some overly popular pimple-faced teen in order to have a slight bit of relevance?

      It's a symbidiotic relationship.

          You forget that Hogg is saying things about "tragic events" of which he himself was a victim. He lost friends and may well have been shot himself. The fact that he cares and is trying to do something about it is a point in his favour I would have thought, not something to attack him about.

            No, goofus, I did not forget. That's such an idiotic statement. Life is tough, bad things happen.

            He lost friends and may well have been shot himself.
            That shouldn't happen to anybody.

            Well, yeah, because you're probably more screwed up in the head than he is. How one responds to tragedy says a whole lot about his character.

              (Does he know he's doing the "white power" salute? )

              The students of March for Our Lives, including survivors of the Parkland high school shooting, today will announce a 60-day, 20-state, 75-stop summer bus tour to register young people to vote and to promote gun law reform.

              A key quote: David Hogg, 18, who graduated yesterday with the other seniors of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, told me in an interview Saturday to promote the tour that his biggest surprise as he travels the country has been: "There’s a lot more love than hate out there."

              Hogg, who plans to work on voter registration during his gap year ahead, said: "I’m glad I’m getting my diploma and not my death certificate."
              The bus tour, "March for Our Lives: Road to Change," will include meetings with victims and survivors. It follows the 850 rallies and protests that drew hundreds of thousands of people around the globe on March 24.


              I started to put some of his other speeches here, but the F bomb is too prevalent.
              You know, I might take your concern for Hoggs language in his attempt at understanding uncaring people like yourself, if you showed a little more concern for his murdered high school friends. Got to love you anti-abortionist whose only concern for human life seems to be when that life is a fetus still in the womb.

                Utter balderdash. You couldn't care less what we're concerned about; you're too busy mischaracterizing us, as you did here.

                      Most people would not use the murder of their friends as an opportunity to gain political power and fame.

                        Seeing your friends murdered and then campaigning to try and prevent a repeat event of it for yourself and others seems 100% natural to me.

                          Probably making an ass of yourself also seems 100% natural to you.

                            ~shrug~ It's a thing humans commonly do, you being a prime example. I don't think Hogg has made an ass of himself yet, but he's a boy who's new to the national political scene so wouldn't be at all surprised if he were to do it a few times before he gets his bearings, but from what I've seen he hasn't done so.

                              And what, pray tell, is he accomplishing? Do you honestly believe anybody is going to change their mind on this very divisive topic because "a boy" is making an ass of himself? His "true believers" are nutters like you, Starlight.

                              What is he saying that we don't already know?

                                What does any political activist accomplish? Draws people's attention to the issue. Creates support for political change on the issue. He seems to be doing those things. I've seen no measures that would allow me to judge if he is being more or less successful than average.

                                Do you honestly believe anybody is going to change their mind on this very divisive topic
                                It is a divisive topic, but I suspect that not every single person in the entirety of America has 100% made up their minds on the issue, and that there is probably some people in America who can still be swayed.

                                His "true believers" are nutters
                                What is wrong with you that you have such a problem with this boy, seriously? Why do you care so much about him? Why do you think he has "true believers"??? He's just some guy who had his friends killed and is speaking out against guns, it's shrug-worthy... why are you obsessed with him?
