i brought my two teenage boys along with me to an operation gridlock anti-lockdown demonstration back in 2020 so they could experience exercising one of the more important rights/responsibilities attendant to being a citizen of the republic

the older one is now a wildlands firefighter and the younger is working on becoming a mountaineering guide. they have been doing progressively more dangerous and more awesome things over their entire life. talking through our plan of escape if the demonstration turned into a riot didn't even phase them.

i guess we sort of enjoy doing dangerous things and i'm very proud of both of them

:cool:

meanwhile parents on the left are doing what? taking their kids to drag shows?

:roflmao:

idgaf. to each his own.

Not six feet nor six inches apart in many cases, hundreds of people gathered downtown near the Capitol building in Denver to protest Colorado's stay-home

Certainly a good lesson for a kid if approached right. And you made the right call having an escape route.

the few protests I’ve been too were pretty much all by chance, and went out of curiosity when I came across them. But #1 on my mind was the escape route if things went south, and stay away from the heart of it.

"Excellent life experience". :rolleyes: the early anti-lockdown demos were a lesson in willful ignorance and abject stupidity, your hand-holding notwithstanding. did your kids figure that out that they were simply buying into an internet business model or are they still following your lead? :roflmao:

my kids don't "buy into" much of anything. i've always encouraged them to question what they are told and think for themselves. as a result, they hold many views that are different than my own and COVID related issues are no exception to that.

judging by the thoughtless gibberish you've just posted i doubt you can relate to that

Denver. OK. I presumed you lived near the ocean, where surfing takes place. My bad.

In HB we didn’t protest, we just surfed

It’s much more unhealthy to listen to government

Had to be creative to find the free non-permit, non-tow parking when they had the lots closed.

I also remember, even during a pandemic, getting 000ed. Even coughing didn't faze them. :cautious:

imprisoning people who attack law enforcement officers seems to be pretty standard practice in America

why do you constantly minimize and mischaracterize?

Because it is easier to live in a fantasy world where you are always right than to raw dog reality.
