    If you believe that then you k
    Are a blithering idiot who knows nothing of the mindset of the US military, or the oath we take.

    But dumb ass I was referring to the children of military personnel.

    Actually they do. I thought about it frequently when I was even younger than Ms. Thunberg. Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? The Cold War? Having "atomic bomb" drills in school? The Vietnam War, your friends/brothers getting drafted?

    You are reading RW stories about her and not thinking realistically. She's not being "used" any more than any other child prodigy.

    I knew enough about the environment to know intuitively that I wanted clean rivers to fish in, and conservation of public lands so I could camp and hike. My Mother explained to me the Vietnam protests I was seeing, even though I was only in second and third grades.

    My father gave me a good grounding in the Soviet Union, the Gulag, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and the Cold War. I was keenly aware of the space race, the moon landings, and the significance of Nixon's visit to china. And I hadn't even kissed my first girl yet!

    I cannot say my life was representative, but I had friends who certainly had a keen interest in politics and our public commons. I really do not think I was some kind of prodigy. I think teenagers and young adults are often given less credit than they deserve.
    So you grabbed pussy???

    I couldn't care less about politics at 16. Magazines? It was Hot Rod. Interests? Fast cars and pretty girls were on my mind.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Everyone should believe it...considering I am a retired special ed teacher...
    Anyone is welcome to try to prove otherwise...but, seriously...that's impossible, considering the facts

    Chasing girls is a traditional and well-known colloquialism, and I do not find common ground with you in your pornographic fantasy/description/interpretation of it.

    I am one thousand percent positive quite a few 16 year old boys were only interested in cars and girls. I had more interests than that, and I am surprised you only had two interests to occupy all your teenage years.

    If you DON'T believe it then you haven't read the training manual. Sounds like they did a good job on you already.
