Yeah, but age is relative.I'm only 23, so I'm just a few years older than you, but don't compare us.
I'm was an extremely gifted student at school, scoring a 9th grade math level, a 10th grade science level, and four P.H.S(post high school) scores on my S.A.T.'s when i was in [B]sixth grade.
I was also reading the daily paper front to back, and learning the in's and out's of the FIRST Iraq war while you were a 3rd grader in pigtails.
I've always had the company of older people, and been involved in various discussions, ranging from stocks and investments, to the fine arts, to religion and philosophy and so on.
Right now, at 23, I'm the Operations Manager of a flooring company, dealing with company reps, customers, property management, installers and work crews, and so on, ..... and you can believe me that I am far younger than any of the people whoose asses I have to chew out on a regular basis.
Does that make me smarter than you?
Of course not.
Does me taking care of my bi-polar mother, and caring for my asthmatic brother at the age of 12 make me smarter than you?
Of course not.
Does the fact that I spent time in Juvenile hall, a Jamaican boot camp, and the county jail make me smarter than you?
That would be a hell no!
Have I been through more of life, experienced it in many diverse ways, in many different classes/social levels of it?
I don't know your life history, but based on your posting and your profile, I would venture a "yes."
I base my points of view on what I have seen to be true in my own life, what I have experienced, what my family has experienced.
I'm against abortion because my mother had one, my mother in-law had one, (both regret it and dealt with depression over it) and becuase no matter what stage its in, it IS a life... one that would continue to grow into a human just the same as you or I if left alone.
I'm against gay marriage for the reasons that I have already stated.
My religion always comes into it, but thats becuase you and the other posters feel it's necessary to do so.
I could back up any of my view points without ever going there, with history, or biology, or just plain common sense.
You present your posts based on pure EMOTIONALISM.
You believe that people should be Absolutley, Totaly, Free.
You believe that people should "do whatever they want, when they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else."
You really believe that, and so you will post that you support the ending of human life so that people can have sex whenever they want, with no consequences (like an inconvenient life of a child) to get in their way.....
You will post that being gay is normal, even though your own biology would disagree with you....
You will post that gay's should be allowed to marry, that our whole way of society( boy meets girl, gets married, has kids, REPEAT) should be changed.....
Because of your emotionalism.
That's more comfortable to you than looking at both sides and seeing the realities of the situation.
THATS why I call you "young folks."
Going through a few more of life's phases may change your outlook, who knows. 🙂 [/B]
Excellent post. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as though anyone can give you an adequate rebuttal.
