    Wow are you cynical.

    If this ain’t someone tossing rocks in a glass house I don’t know what is.

      And yet I’m not the one who suggested these kids are just doing this to get out of school.

      My cynicism is directed at people who do bad things.

          At what point was I rude? When I called out the most cynical person on these forums for calling me cynical?

          Okay, well good luck being cynical about kids protesting gun violence right after a school shooting near them or even in their school.

          I suppose all those protesting parents of kids killed at places like Sandy Hook and Uvalde are just in it for the money or something?

              I thought you said your cynicism was equal opportunity.

              Shouldn’t you be accusing those Uvalde parents of just using an excuse to get out of work? Is there a difference?

                No see my cynicism there is quite different. I’d be mostly wondering how many of them drove there while texting and distracted while totally doing everything they can to save lives.

                  I guess your cynicism isn’t equal opportunity then. Either people only protest to get out of things or they don’t. Kids are not some special case when adults want to get out of work as much as they want to get out of school.
