I remember what it’s like to be a kid. Thats why teens like you piss me off. All mouth and no experience.
Get a job, pay some taxes, pay some rent, then get back to me. You have nothing to offer anyone with a functioning brainstem. [/quote]
Sigh… I’m not trying to insult you. So far, any insults I’ve offered up have either been ribbing to try and get you to relax a little, or me jokingly being an immature prick in a juxtaposition to my posts which insinuate that teens are not immature pricks.
Once again, what does experience have to do with the point one is making? If an inexperienced scientist were trying to convince me Global Warming was real, I’d certainly be skeptical yes, but if they offered me a convincing argument I’d still be forced to find evidence against that argument if it was new. I could not simply dismiss it and not even address it because that scientist has not been a scientist long.
You are also forgetting than, that most teenagers get their “political views” from an experienced source. My views of politics come from a variety of sources, and from a combination of the many speakers and books I’ve acquired knowledge from.
Do you honestly think your years of work have changed who you are politically that drastically?
It’s not as though people grow up and have their entire political stance changed because of “life experience”. They may approach certain issue’s differently, either with less or more fervor, but their views usually remain relatively unchanged. Humans are staunch, stubborn creatures who rarely seek evidence to prove their own views wrong. You should know that, as you are a prime example of it (as am I, and as is every other member of this forum and beyond).
If you truly think those without experience have nothing to add to an argument, simply ignore their threads. Isn’t getting into a rage basically letting us snot nosed brats win?
