RE: This saturday the Young people of America Are Leading Us.

Yes, let us look to children to lead our country. Makes perfect sense. LOL!
Also, the U.S. is not a Democracy. We are a constitutional republic. Big difference if you are educated. You all might want to look it up.

Sort:  

The fact that millions of "children" are marching and saying adults who want just own a gun or a bunch of guns is wrong... is pathetic that you don't listen to them....

Shootings did not occur when I was growing up....
When I was growing up there were tighter gun regulations.
In NY we used to have alot of gun deaths during the 70s and early 80s...
Then we clamped down on it... And our murder and violent crime rates dropped to a tiny fraction of what they were!

We are both a constitutional republic and a democracy.

Most modern nations are democratic republics with a constitution, which can be amended by a popularly elected government. This comparison therefore contrasts the form of government in most countries today with a theoretical construct of a "pure democracy", mainly to highlight the features of a republic.

the reason I up voted you, even though we don't agree, is because you brought a reasonable response to the conversation, and i encourage discussion, but not attacks...

The only way we move forward in this country is for compromise and cooperation to win out...
