No, that wasn't my meaning, snbzk. You were being optimistic that if Yuri changed the first post to say her first question had been answered, people would go to the last post to comment on the current topic. I was being pessimistic for no real reason beyond not thinking highly of people who reply to the first post in a long thread.
I do *not* want this thread closed. Not at all.

What should I do?
Should I close this thread and make a new thread?
Help, Koir, snbzk…
In easy English, please…  |
DougLewis was making a silly joke about the current topic being discussed, nothing else.
And now back to the current topic:

It’s obvious that high school students don’t know much about politics, but this sentence doesn’t seem to mean that.
Please tell me.
'Organizing high school students is extremely difficult. Apart from being an impermanent base, they are inexperienced and often politically uninformed. Their disconnectedness and isolation – easily caricatured as pouty alienation or angst – are rooted in the realities of their lives.'
Thank you.

"Politically uninformed" means that the group being discussed (high school students) generally don't concern themselves with all aspects of politics in today's world. It's something that doesn't specifically interest them, so when other people try to get their opinion or organize them into groups depending on political beliefs, it's difficult or even impossible in some cases. As a result, they appear as an easily dismissed group (politically speaking) concerned more with baseless feelings of anger and depression.
