Political activism at 14? Eek.

Two Middle Eastern kids in this picture (have seen ones with more) but I just wanted to post it, because this is so goddamn sad. This was really the elite of the young people in Norway.  :(

It is quite sad, even more so when you see the faces.  But let's not overstate things-- the elite of the young people in Norway??

You know, I'm actually getting really tired of this Martinus-bashing in every single thread. Especially by you, Raz.
Marty has flaws. I have a lot myself. And you've got a few yourself.

Raz is doing the forum a public service.  I know he saves me the trouble of antagonizing Marti.

QuoteMarti very often makes emotional rants. No need go ahead and declare all-out jihad just because someone stepped on some toes.

FYP LOL

Why not? Who would you consider to be elite, among the young, if not people engaged in social and community work?

That doesn't mean a god damn thing. They could be smartass busybodies or ambitious pricks. I am not more sorry for them than if it was a camp of an orphanage.

This reminds me of a story I once heard on the radio.  There was a Jewish summer camp where on the last week several of the parents dressed up a Klan members and pretended to take the campers hostage.  Terrified the kids, but I suppose it was meant to teach a lesson. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The lesson being your parents are assholes?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

A very important lesson, I'd have thought.  ;)

Although i'm sure they knew that before going to camp. Plus now  they have some new psychological trauma to go along with the standard bag you get from asshole parents lol

I suppose after the events in Norway, if parents tried that, they would have got their ass kicked. Which would have been fun. :P

They were future members of parliament etc and could therefore be said to be part of the political elite. Many (most?) members of the elite are ambitious halfwits.

It's a hostile world for Jews.

Top academic performers, musical prodigies, etc.  Social & community work is fine & dandy (not sure how attending a political party summer camp qualifies as such but whatever), but I don't think that makes one part of the elite.

It's enough of a tragedy as it is.
