Because;
1. Studying
2. Playing sports
3. Working a part time job
4. Going to college
5. Supporting yourself
6. Spending time with friends
7. Playing video games
8. Or just plain being a normal high school kid
Isn't enough.
You need to "Do Something!"
Found this at a local high school. It's nothing more than leftist brainwashing. But what is so despicable is how the left purposely targets the young as they are too stupid to know any better.
What scares me is how many companies obviously just donated money to them despite, in the long run, participants in "Do Something" will simply vote for higher corporate taxes.
Lord how I hate this!
ReplyDeleteOne "cause" is child soldiers. Hell, I was a child soildier (Gunner in HM Canadian Forces at age 17!)
Another "cause" is child labour. My Grandmother went to work full time as a scullery maid at age 12. She was a natural born white subject of the richest, most powerful Empire the world had ever seen at that time.
All the "causes" involve "raising awareness" i.e. talkin' 'bout it! Never actually DOING SOMETHING about IT. E.g. you want to stop Human Trafficing? Do like the Royal Navy did in the 19th century: Slavers are outlaws and we hunt down and hang outlaws. This will mean leaving Mum & Dad's basement, placing your life & limb in jeopardy, and doing nasty things to the slavers. It may even mean becoming a (gasp!) child soldier! Safer to "raise awareness" instead. We'll do something if it's convenient.
Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There!
ReplyDeleteLove this quote from Nancy Lublin, DS's CEO: "We're a business. The only difference is that instead of selling soap or sneakers, we sell hope and leadership"
ReplyDeleteHeh.

You have to hand it to the Marxists/socialists. They changed their name to progressives. They refuse to acknowledge any failures of various socialist economies. They have also turned the public school system and most universities, into socialist indoctrination centers.
ReplyDeleteThey drill into kids heads about global warming, and the evils of Capitalism. The progressives have quietly won over the youth demographic. It`s time for the rest of society to wake up.
Bought my last bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. They've got a big spiel about dosomething.org on the back of the bag. Checked out dosomething.org on the net. BS quasi-political leftist organization. Screw Frito Lay. (Sunday, March 20 2011)
ReplyDeleteWhat do they mean by "Do Something"? I think children should be given the time to enjoy their childhood. If they decide that there's a cause they want to stand for, it's fine. But we don't have to force them to go out of their comfort zone just yet. After all, they won't be kids for long...
