What's your take on Hillary comments about today's youth being lazy and her attempt to buy their votes back?

I fully agree w/ those comments.\n\nWe do live in a "microwave society" where the very thought of *gasp* hard work is taboo to most folks in the newer generations.\n\nAmericans ARE lazy by and large. This nation has been coddled w/ an instant gratification mentality for entirely too many decades now.\n\nThis laziness leads to unaccountability, and a general lack of integrity as well...which surely isn't making it better, it's making the situation worse.\n\nNow, when it comes to the supposed bill...we'll see. I don't have an opinion on it as of yet, for it's just an idea still and not been put into action.

The problem is more dont vote than do its because of the dumbing down of a nation that wants to be a democracy but just doesnt have the interest of the people to really do it anymore .\n\nI think its social apathy and government encouraged dumbing down of America,dumb people are easier to manipulate.\n\nSome thirty million adults in the U.S. do not have the skills to perform even the most basic tasks such as adding numbers on a bank slip, identifying a place on a map, or reading directions for taking a medication. Eleven million Americans are totally illiterate in English.\nOnly twenty-nine percent of Americans have basic reading and computing skills. One out of every twenty Americans lacks the ability to understand what is going on in the world or to develop an informed opinion for voting.\n\nhttp://www.hermes-press.com/education_in...\n\nAmericans are far from alone in the world, but from the perspective of many young Americans, we might as well be. Most young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 demonstrate a limited understanding of the world, and they place insufficient importance on the basic geographic skills that might enhance their knowledge.\n\nYoung Americans answer about half (54 percent) of all the survey questions correctly. But by and large, majorities of young adults fail at a range of questions testing their basic geographic literacy.\n\nOnly 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map—though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.\n6 in 10 young Americans don't speak a foreign language fluently.\n20% of young Americans think Sudan is in Asia. (It's the largest country in Africa.)\n48% of young Americans believe the majority population in India is Muslim. (It's Hindu—by a landslide.)\nHalf of young Americans can't find New York on a map.\nThese results suggest that young people in the United States—the most recent graduates of our educational system—are unprepared for an increasingly global future. Far too many lack even the most basic skills for navigating the international economy or understanding the relationships among people and places that provide critical context for world events.\n\nAbout the Survey\n\nThe findings presented are the results of a face-to-face survey conducted from December 17, 2005, to January 20, 2006, by Roper Public Affairs and Media, a part of GfK NOP. This study is the latest in a series of surveys commissioned by the National Geographic Society. \n\nMany in power believe that deception of the American public is a legitimate way for them to achieve their plan. Bush's so-called "war on terror" is the cloak for a personal agenda ,but this form of manipulation has always been popular with governments because it works so well

I think the Democrats would be pretty foolish to put Hillary on the ticket.  Like Bob Dole in 1996, she appeals ONLY to her solid base, and nobody outside of that set would vote for her.  She doesn't have the assets of her husband.  Bill is a creative thinker, she is a rote thinker.  Beyond the charm, Bill can actually talk policy details and policy theory.  Hillary can only speak in platitudes (e.g. - "Our children are our future...").  Despite his ambition, Bill comes across as a likeable guy, she comes across as a power-grubbing witch.  Bill seems real, she seems contrived (for instance, the "right" turns she has taken in the Senate).  Her "concern" and "caring" seem false.  For example, several years ago when asked how small businesses would be able to afford "Hillary-Care," she snapped, "I can't be responsible for every under-capitalized business in this country!"  Many snipes such as this will come back to haunt her.  Up to this point, she has never been a national candidate and hasn't had any obligation to explain her role in any scandals.  I'm sure she will have to be forthcoming about how she managed to defy laws of economics, mathematics and the Securities Exchange Commission by trading in cattle futures (and that's just for starters).  Assuming Republican results were tainted by scandal this season, Democrats would be wise to put someone else in the general election.

Wait a minute... Hold on.... \n\nIsn't this the same Ann Coulter who was quoted...\n"women are stupid, and shouldn't be allowed to vote"....\n\nI guess in her case she was right.

Now they are sending them to college when most of us don't even get to go to college?! That sucks.\nAs to people correcting the asker:  I often see the president on t.v. promising this amount to this country, and that amount to that country.  I'm sure this would give the average person the impression that he had something to do with the funneling of hundreds of billions of US dollars to foreign countries.  Don't forget the inordinate amount that goes to foreigners in this country.\nFor those of you giving civics lessons, I'll bet you believe your vote counts and that liberals voting in democrats cause all the problems in this country. Well, that makes you technically wrong as well. So while you are getting technical, remember this.  We don't vote for president. The electoral college does.\nAll of the people spending billions on a foreign war, sacrificing our people, giving foreign aid, and aiding foreingers in this country are absolutely wrong and maybe even evil.  They are the same people who claim they can't give practical aid to American citizens who need it.  Don't start whining about 3rd generation welfare crack whores and people who shot at rescuers during Katrina. These people are a minority of the poor.  Most poor people are honest working people, old people, and sick or disabled people. Most are women with dependants (specifically white women with dependants).  So regardless of the technicalities, American money is being wasted on non Americans and I agree with the asker. It is wrong.

because we accidently voted for thoes people who support that into office.  But I agree....it is time for people to get off their lazy backside and get a job.  My mom is legally blind and has  masters degrees and works full time.  They just want to use the government to be lazy and quite honestly it is stealing from the government....don't those people have any pride in themselves!

Although Hillary has done some important things, as a wife and mother of three daughters, I hate what she taught her own daughter:  to accept being cheated on and emotionally abused, but to stand by your man and one day you can be senator, too!\n\nShe teaches all women that it's okay to be cheated on, if you get something out of it in the long run.  Blech.\n\nI like her more now than when she was First Lady, though.  She has shown herself to be saavy and that she isn't a "party line girl".  I still wouldn't want her to be President, though.  Too much baggage.

"Libturds.." I mean really...my face is red for you!  Let's be clear that Hillary did not start this quagmire.  She voted for the authorization because she believed that Bush would actually use war as a last resort...AFTER exhausting all other options, including the inspections that were in progress.  Had YOUR PRESIDENT done that, then we would have realized there were no WMD's and there would be no war to "keep voting for." She is not voting to pull troops out because she feels that we need to actually stabilize and rebuild Iraq since YOUR president destroyed it. Incidentally, Hillary's intelligence level is so far beyond that of your AWOL hero that he wouldn't even be able to maintain a conversation with her.  Not that he can maintain a conversation with anyone, including that child in your picture!

Because, we're in the age the age group that loves to complain but, not help find the solution.Some think what can my vote accomplish without realizing how their hurting the States.They think someone can or will make that difference for me.I'm a proud voter for 3years now.Ever since i was 18 and i'm in that age group but, i believe i can help make a difference it takes more then the older generation to help this country.It takes all that are of age to vote and work together.Instand of just complaining and whining and trying to place blame.

Yeah, there is a problem.  It's called the DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA.  Look at the schools.  Why have so many dropped civics and government?  How many people do you know that have read the  CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , much less that of their state.  How are we going to get good candidates for whom to vote when we don't even know what is the job of the office.  We must start thinking of ourselves as employers looking for the candidate with the  right skill for a very specific job instead of a delightful personality and a good hair cut.  \nREMEMBER we pay these guys to work for us.  And they get to vote on what we pay them.  Stay on their backs.  Watch their votes and actions.  It doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, you pay them to work for you.\nWhen this message gets across to the voting public we may see some changes in the line up.\n\nThose in power benifit from stupidity and  invested a lot of your and my money to turn the public education system into a drone factory.  \nDon't get your panties in a bunch.  I see educators who fight this and I'm seeing more parental involvement who want better for their children and fight this trend.  Still the focus is not an educated voter, it's a better than minimum wage job. It's a start.   Too many people (us) have not realized that when politicians give them (us) something, that they (we) need to insist on a cost accounting.

They have no clue to what fair represents.\n\nOh please, below me, how come they never mention what slu** Bush has for daughters, but they picked on poor Chelsea who did nothing but get good grades and listen to her Parents. \n\nExplain that one eh!\n\nIt's the other way around, you people run and hide and are in the most denial of anyone I've come across.

Quote: "Why do so many people still vote for him?"\n\nWell, Americans are like a flock of sheep, they all do what the other does.\nThey are just as dumb as well, because they still stick with this Potus even though they can see that he is fecking up their own and other countries as well.\nPlus they make all their decisions by television, if they see something or someone on the tele who says they will do something, they'll vote for him without even checking him out.\nLike Bush jr. \nIn my opinion they only voted him Potus just for the fact that he's a Bush.\nThey never even thought about what troubles he can start.\nLike these wars, Bush only started these because his daddy did that as well and he just had to show everybody that he can do it better than his old man.\nWell, take a good look again jr, you failed big time!\nAs for the freedom to have a gun, the biggest mistake they've ever made.\n\nNote: THIS IS ALL MY OWN OPINION.\nDon't burn me off for saying, please.

Well, seeing as I AM one of those "children", I totally see this from your point of view.  It's ridiculus what they're doing over there, and then my generation (and a few to follow) are going to have to clean up after it...it SUCKS.  Thanks for sticking up for us!

When you speak like a fool, you sound like a fool.\n\nBringing additional foolish disrespect to our nation's President, whether you care for him or not, only adds to the ignorant reputation we already have.\n\nUntil the citizens of this Great Nation understand how to elect a better candidate, please attempt to represent your President and your nation Nation in a more respectful manner, thus representing yourself more respectfully.\n\nYour foolish immature behavior only adds to the downfall of the United States of America, which will effect the entire world structure, your future, your income, your livlihood, your children, your grand children, your parents, your family and friends, everyone.  Get a grip.

It's a little late to be talking about school when she needs gas tomorrow?\n\nThese people don't understand how it is... it's not always so easy to just "make more money"... hahaha... but I suspect they will learn that soon enough on their own...\n\nI don't think the government cares... so we should all vote...

I think we need to advertise her public record.  What has she really done to better her fellow man/woman in the service of the government and the people?  All I see are sound bites and political bashing coupled with the blame-game without offering solutions.  This is enough for me NOT to really consider her for anything.  As long as she has been a Senator from New York, what is on her list of accomplishments for New York.\n\nOf course she has time to mature before the election, but if it were held today--no way, that is an easy decision, she is not even close to main-stream America.
