Are the conditions right, and do you think we are heading for another civil war. I really hope we are not!!

Oh good grief, what generation are you Mason?


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Mason,

Turn off the TV. Put down your phone. Go outside. Mow the yard, go fishing or swimming, work on traps, etc...

A youngster like yourself need not worry about this crap... Trust me, there'll be plenty of time for that later.

Yup ! What he said. Enjoy your youth while you can, cause one day you'll turn around and it will be GONE.

The less tv you watch the better your life will be. Same thing for video games. Its coming into summer. Mow a few lawns and make a little money. Do your best to wear out a nice fishing reel, a bicycle, and a pair of boots.


this isnt new. happens every few years. this was 55 years ago. see any similarities?

Hi Mason. I mean no disrespect - really I don't. At 14, you've probably only been aware of what's happening in the world for a couple of years. All of this seems new, and probably frightening. While some of the details are always different, the world has gone through pandemics, riots, police brutality, and all the other stuff before. Most of us here remember all of this at least a couple of other times. Over the next couple of decades, you'll see things like this again. The only thing that seems to be new is that EVERYTHING is now used as a political weapon. But, it hasn't happened over night, it's been slowly moving that way for the last couple of decades, maybe longer.

To answer your question: I don't think we're heading to civil war.

Alright thanks for all the advice guys. I’ve already been wearing out a fishing rod and reel and I see what you mean that this has happened before when I looked at the wiki article. I’m into politics but sometimes I get too into it I think, at least for my age and I get too worried so thanks for the advice.

I got a solution for you. Stop watching the news and just have fun doing what 14 year olds do.

I worry too, Mason......and I'm 63. It's a new phase we're entering. Pay attention and learn, but enjoy your next 4 years. Life gets real then.

Something is going to have to change or happen. The direction we're going right now doesn't look good.

Yes it is people are calling for blacks to burn America the built for free.
I had a "friend" post this on fb. I ripped him a new one throughout several comments. He is in favor of the tweet he posted. I told my "friend" he's inciting riots hate and terrorism. Long story short he unfriended me because he didn't like me calling him out. I posed several tough questions for him to answer gave another flip side of ther coin then he blocked me hahahaha

This is the tweet he posted on fb . The tweet is not him but what he wants to see.

Let them burn themselves out of their own den. They can't see what's coming next.

We are already in a civil war ideologically. It will be more complete anarchy instead. Thank the good Lord if you live in a more rural area. The cities will be a mess. Eating their own. Already has started. When the trial ends or if Trump wins in November be ready to buckle your chinstrap.

Send them marches they are destroying their own so let them go for it, the smart ones will fight back when they have had enough. Until then I don’t see how you could help when they are doing it to themselves.

I believe MLK was a peaceful man but Since the assassination of MLK on April 4, 1968 there has been over 130 violent protest in the U.S. Maybe we been in a civil war all along but we been to busy cutting grass and fishing to have notice.
