i predict Trump saying something like ''look at beautiful scotland, a wonderful country, wonderful'' ''my mother country''

lmao

Someone should have touched a cigarette to that stupid blimp. What irritates me most about all this is the way the protestors think they are speaking for everyone when they're not even speaking for most. When you think of some of the despots we've hosted and not a peep from the protesters, even taking their small children along to shout political slogans. They looks stupid and small.

As for the bloke who parasailed towards Trump in a no fly zone... I'm pretty impressed that he wasn't shot. He was lucky.

I dislike this way of thinking, of trying to undercut a right to protest by saying they aren't speaking for everyone. Of course they aren't, that's just common sense. They are speaking for themselves. It should be obvious really.

@last video
"Liberation won't come from the ballot box." Well that's comforting.

She keeps using the word "you" and "it" a lot, but no idea what she is talking about in that reference. (This is typical of the confusing usage of the Royal "you"). I'm not really sure who the "you" is she is talking to either... I don't know any woman that feels this immobilized/disenfranchised. I don't know know any woman that would really "resonate" with this in my own life... people I know in other states or here.

It just seems that the "feminist" movement (and LGBT) is something that far-left folk have conveniently hitched a ride on to get their ideology into the political mainstream... I would hesitate to call myself a feminist woman from this point on. I think classical liberal with roots in first-wave.. but not this "new" New Age garbage.

I also find it really awkward that another woman is telling me what to do... stand in the mirror and do what I say? Nah... I think for myself. Go pound sand.

I think the blimp was stupid and defleted away from concerns people have about Trump and his pollicies...I disagree with you when you say that parents shouldn't bring their children to these protests parent's sit at home and discuss these maters with their children,,,,,you know that look in you kids face and it says what are we going to do about it ?


Will it change anything? Nope

But I think it's important for children to have their voice's heard

Young children don’t really understand politics and I think taking them to such events is a form of indoctrination which doesn’t sit well with me.

..I agree with Lime about the children being present because absolutely, we do most of us as families, discuss these things in the presence of our children...with world matters, politics included...we don’t as parents tend to send children to their rooms while we discuss ‘grown up’ things...we don’t allow them to reach adulthood with no knowledge of the world around them or people’s thoughts and feelings about that world...one day, children will be grown ups and in my opinion, there is a preparation for adulthood...even if we tried to cushion as it were..parents will never be the only influence in a child’s life as things are discussed by peers etc...


...I’ve known many young children through my past working life...and some will take stances that their parents have and hold similar beliefs...but it’s not because it’s coming from their parents as a sole thing...it’s because those beliefs and opinions etc have been reasoned and have been something the child...(..through their individuality..)...have also believed in ...I have equally known reasoned parent stances and beliefs that haven’t been shared by children...where they’ve not been fully on board so no indoctrination has applied...that’s my general experience of most families where world events and politics etc are discussed on a level their child will understand...

...I do agree Brillo, children don’t naturally understand politics, which is the whole thing of why it’s important to include them with all significant and important events in the world and understand everything their parents and family and friends etc, believe in...otherwise their understanding will be much more difficult....we learn because we discuss and we absorb, we ask, we listen...and then from childhood to adulthood our belief system is being formed with every influence it has....

Having an open discussion with your own children about politics.....and our views vary on many topics..is not indoctriaton ..It's just a healthy conversation


You say young children don't understand politics...Well when can they ever understand something that their parent's don't discuss with them?

So people can post pictures of them on social media holding protest signs which, quite frankly, usually do look like they were written by someone under the age of three, so they can tell the world how their family is #Resisting?

..there doesn’t have to be a benefit though, Kaz...some parents (...for whatever reason, whether it be childcare or whatever...)...would maybe just want to include those little pushchair people as well...and I’ts their choice and decision as a parent...there is no right or wrong of it, a decision each individual parent would make...as we all do....

What was the negative?


If it was a march against Apartheid or a suffforgeets march I doubt some who complain about kids being there would have a problem be it pushchair or walking

There's a bit of a difference between Suffrage or anti-Apartheid, and the (current) leader of one of our best ally nations who said dumb things.
