Doubts about children on demos?

If they are eligible to go to war, they have a right to protest against war.

Let me clear up any doubts. They target people at a young age to join the army. You can apply to join when you are 15 years and 9 months old. This puts the UK in the bracket of using child soldiers.

If they are eligible to join the army where they will be deployed in an illegal war of aggression, they have a moral right to protest war non-violently. Their compatriots are used as cannon fodder.

The main recruitment site is:

These two sites target 13-17 year olds:

Read it and weep. Don't stand for the hypocracy.

the word is spelt

hypocrisy

.....ISY.......

This is the most popular, and most mis-spelt word in the dissenter's vocabulary.

I agree with the sentiments, incidentally. Just can't take the endless, endless mis-spelling. Finally flipped.

No wonder opponents think dissent arises from low educational achievement and therefore lack of understanding. Stop giving them the satisfaction.

If you can't spell, realise it, and put your postings through a spell-checker.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Children Are Naturual Anarchists!!!!!!

Children are naturual Anarchists, with less social conditioning and less respect for Authority.

If they have decided instinctively that this war is wrong, then there is nothing left to do but try and be a spanner in the works.

For those who don't think children can protest, children ran the longest strike in Brittish History, for 25 years. They went on strike to support their School Teacher sacked for refusing to teach them how to bow down to the aristocracy, so they went on Strike and ran lessons on the village green for 25 years untill she was reinstated.

Ive heard alot of criticism about these schoolkids protesting. But after watching them for the past two days in parliament square, they definitly do care and are getting politically active. But think about it if they were gonna bunk off school on a nice day, they could go anywhere. They chose to be in parliament for a very specific reason, they are not as stupid as everyone thinks. It was a real show of unity, from the Eton college orwell society to the inner city kids form north london comprehensives. Good on 'em
