Or do they hear key words in a speech or document and stop listening to the rest?

ALSO...Do they look at the photo in the article? Does that look like they are roaming the George Washington University campus?...Are they lying about where they took the petition?

Campus Reform asked students roaming the George Washington University campus in Washington, D.C.

NONE....... AND it doesn't make any difference WHAT they said either, I don't care. Neither do you.

AND I didn't watch the video OR read the article.

I've always known you didn't care........I honestly didn't expect your truthfulness regarding not watching the video OR reading the article........

What do they say about 'expectations'........"Expect nothing and you are never disappointed".....I expect more from our youth and am disappointed when they fall on their faces out of chosen ignorance because they are too lazy to do their own research into what is affecting their lives. That surprises me more than anything because they have so much technology available to them and ignore that end of it. They, instead, trust in their social networking propaganda.

Probably the biggest group of youth that actually doesn't disappoint me is our military......they are so close to the political hypocricy and lies and betrayal by those in political 'leadership' positions and yet can keep cool heads and keep responding appropriately that I am amazed every day by their resilience to adverse conditions. Our cops now are doing the same thing.....maybe because so many now are ex-military.

"my truthfulness"

Not so fast....I was responding to James, who earlier today said, in response to a post by me, (One in which he asked for a link to the story)

I don't care - and I don't even know what he said. This is such a small thing.

First he asks for a link...then he says he didn't read it, and he doesn't care.

So I figured...What the heck, I'll go for it....

AND it doesn't make any difference WHAT they said either, I don't care. Neither do you.


AND I didn't watch the video OR read the article.


I suggest you take SOME of my posts with a grain of salt...I'll try and do the same with yours.

one who fails to read the words
Dec 21, 2014 3:24AM PST

a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
