You're right Asking, they are nothing.

AcrossthePond55 · 20/01/2019 03:04

Oh! "Nithing" is a word!

"A coward, a villain; a person who breaks the law or a code of honour; an outlaw."

That's a word that needs to be brought back into usage, especially in reference to Trumpsters!

Re: Covington, I can never understand how it’s possible to be pro-life and against supporting families on low incomes.

It’s very clear that the pupils had no understanding of the issue they were protesting.

I can't find a link--it's so much worse with the sound).

Maybe you should, the full 2 hour video has been released and it shows that you're rage is just falling for reactionary headlines and Twitter storms that suit your narrative.

So much for the analysis of these threads, if some of you applied some critical thinking it might not have run into so many threads, it's not helping your cause for the casual observer. It's funny though so carry on

So, he kept drumming and singing, thinking about his wife, Shoshana, who died of bone marrow cancer nearly four years ago, and the various threats that face indigenous communities around the world, he said.
I felt like the spirit was talking through me,” Phillips said.

Hello again Justanotherlurker. Once more you offer nothing to the thread. Stand by your statements and give us some meat. Patronising references and no substance. I'm always willing to be educated - so go ahead.

Gumpendorf · 20/01/2019 09:50

I'm glad the deal was effectively dead on arrival because I don't want Trump to be able to claim any victory in this. But I'm also mindful of the thousands of people who are not being paid right now and need that pay check. Sad

Roussette · 20/01/2019 09:58

Oh it's you again justanotherlurker. The Native American in question and some other NAs with him, I know approached the students first. They walked towards the students whilst playing and singing. The students were clashing with another group and he walked towards them to diffuse the situation.

However, a big group of them then surrounded him, mocking him, and taunting him. Would love to hear your justification of that. Because in my book, it was about 80 people against 1.

If that's what you're referring to, is that enough critical thinking for you?

@TheElementsSong
Your drive-by comment needed on this thread too, if you’d be so kind.
TIA

TammySwanson · 20/01/2019 10:27

lol at this thread being criticised for lack of critical thinking by someone who previously posted that Trump couldn't possibly be a misogynist because he gave some jobs to women.

Why is there always someone willing to stick up for behaviour that now seems common place all over the world and is always directed towards the vulnerable in our society.

I can't see anything menacing or intimidating in an elderly man, playing some music. What I do find pretty scary is that instead of walking away or attempting to engage with them, the students decided to surround them and jeer. That one boy, silent with a rather unpleasant sneer on his face - everyone has seen that look a thousand times and it is only ever from someone who thinks they're better, superior... that the person it's directed at is stupid, 'other'.

I guess without watching the full two hours, I may be missing something hugely pertinent to explain why it's ok and totally acceptable for high school students to act that way... but personally, I think the two minute snippet shows the attitude of those students very clearly. They are better than those stupid old men, banging their stupid drums and singing stupid songs... inexcusable.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 20/01/2019 12:17

Justanotherlurker, perhaps you would be kind enough to provide the link you want people to watch, since you were replying to someone's comment that they were unable to find one.

This thread is for people to be able to find out what has been going on, not for people to be snarky about, you see, and I would like to have that two-hour video available so I can judge for myself what in the way of confrontation happened and between whom.

Lweji · 20/01/2019 12:19

you're rage

Who is rage? Did I miss a pp?

Lweji · 20/01/2019 12:35

Did someone film the taunting for 2 hours? Did the whole incident take 2 hours?

Did the drummer stalk the kids for the best part of 2 hours?

Confused
Lweji · 20/01/2019 12:52

In previous critical discussions on these threads, we have talked about the issue of Pence becoming President if Trump is impeached.
A typical case of the cure being worse than the illness (Portuguese saying)?

Unless it went as a double impeachment.

lionheart · 20/01/2019 12:52

Justanotherlurker I said I couldn't find a link to post, not that I hadn't watched the videos.

That's because I usually wait until clips like that are up on a news site where some context might be given and the link is more secure before posting on here (especially when the content is filmed on someone's mobile).

There were a number of versions of the incident captured from different angles and of different lengths.

But do tell us what it is about the two hour version that exonerates those boys.

Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!

I'd accept a State of the Union Address with no press and no audience, if I were Nancy.

Is it too late for a Truman Show option?
