What is your point? You are saying that students used to protest, and now they're not...you sound like you are complaining, and yet you tell them not to. Also, what's with the study-debt thing?
I'm having trouble understand you.

They aren't doing it now because they aren't being paid to...most people protest for a reason,a united reason that they feel strong about or believe in....They have been proven over the last few years to be nothing more than IDIOTS. They all are for things that they have no idea of whet they are talking about...its all over the net...google it.
If people start to riot during protests, they destroy there areas...there neighborhoods..ok go ahead, destroy your house and car...I don't care if you do...set it on fire to...ok you just destroyed your stuff...do you feel better?
The problem with protesting, is everyone wants to feel like the 60-70's..the peace, love, free sex..woodstock, whatever...they want jobs and yet aren't willing to get up and go to work, and they wonder why they don't have a job??? Or they think they should start out in upper management..and be a VP in a month...wow they make me laugh.

You were a toddler at the time of the attacks? So that would make you how old? Maybe 12 or 13.

No offense I just find it interesting the age of some folks here.

Students, do not protest against your government...or else.
This whole 911 event should be clear to every american. If it is not clear the people should demand it to be made clear. But that will not happen, at least...not by the US government.
What happened with the american student. I was just a totler at the time of the anti-vietnam war protests. I did see it on television and the young of today can find images of those massive protest actions on YT or somewhere else.
What is happening now in the world with illegal wars and alleged traitors in the US government is worse in my view. When will it be enough for the US citizen..
Where are the protesters, the massive outrage of the US-people that make the US-congress and presidents think again? Are students not always the front runners of a revolution?
Is the US-student maybe afraid to express his opinion because it is aware of the personal information age and can protests as such damage his or hers career? Especially a government career or a government related career? What life is there after graduation but a study-debt and no work?

Plenty of protests, the problem is these groups wont find common ground to unite and instead stay in their easily controlled little niches.

Its a fair point. These wars are worse and the protests are a lot smaller. Maybe you hit it on the head when you said you saw Vietnam on tv.
The news media in the US is far to sanitized to report the war in a bad way. Things would change fast if they put all the pictures of dead children killed by bombs on mainstream news. I guess thats why lots of the protests are coming from the internet now instead.
