    Actually it was a subject that I have more experience than I care to share with the children.

    Hmmm, I've had some lively discussions with some of the younger crowd that had a firm grasp of the topic at hand and how to form a logical argument. And I've encountered people my age and older that would make a turnip appear as a genius by comparison. Certainly not the rule either way, but sweeping generalizations do no one any good.

    Why is everyone missing the main point. You have no understanding or concept based on knowledge or experience when you're 18, except to regurgitate what you've been told. There is theory and there is reality, sometimes they are worlds apart.

    You missed my point entirely, just being young doesn't mean lack of experience, some people are forced to grow up way too young, and having age doesn't gaurantee experience or the wisdom to use that experience.

    Also, even without experience it is possible for an intelligent mind to dissect knowledge given, correlate data, form new ideas and challenge the status quo. I will agree that experience is a valuable tool in life, but it isn't the only one, or no one would live long enough to get it.

    Yes, being young does mean you have a lack of experience in most areas of life. Yes, many do have limited experience beyond their years but they're still young. When an 18 year old is telling you in a condescending manner what you do and don't know, it's arrogant and immature. Age doesn't promise education, intellect or wisdom but there's a darn better chance at accumulating it.

    The tone of the young is really nasty, just read some of them here on this poll. They're pretty darn sure they've got it all going on, all of them.

    As I said before, not the rule, but common enough that sweeping generalizations don't help. I've met some pretty nasty people of all ages (and political persuasions) on here, I don't run around saying "all liberals" or "all conservatives" or "all young people" or "all seniors" because none of them are true.

    And I am aware you didn't use the word "all", but you did a pretty good job of implying it.

    Really? Is it raining where you live too? It must be because I can't imagine why someone is nit picking when they could do something constructive. I was talking about A (one) specific incidence and I'm not going back on the claim that NO, an 18 year old doesn't have life experience or much else at that age. Try asking any question without someone giving you that same argument that you're pushing here.

    I agree - I would say that by the time I was 18 I had lived through more than a lot of sheltered adults.

    One thing our young adults don't lack is humility, what they do seem to lack is respect and civility. Look at your first sentence, hardly a start to a rational debate. Just more of the same, I'm young and know so much.

    Age does not guarantee maturity, don't believe me try to debate/discuss anything with the self-appointed "experts". I have had several fantastic discussions here with some of the teens. At the same time, I get in a pissing contest with a bunch of "experts" in their 50s, and 60s.

    Yes, age doesn't guarantee maturity, but experience doesn't happen by osmosis. You don't inherit it or take a class in it. Some people never learn from it either.

    I don't suffer from ageism. Just because a person is 18 doesn't mean that they aren't wise, or intelligent.

    We don't know the life they have lived. I know some 18 year old's that have been through far more than a 30 year old.

    Some are sheltered and clueless, others are not. Far better to weigh what they say, rather than the age of the person saying it.

    That's why suddenly all these liberals have so much respect for the young, it's because I'm a conservative and they are against anything I'd say. It's the whole of their debate, I dislike anything conservative.

    Hatred of Israel Brings the KKK and Democrats Back Together



    A primary contest taking place in New York next Tuesday portends yet another embarrassment for the Democrat Party. In the newly re-drawn 8th Congressional District, City Councilman Charles Barron is running against state Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring Rep. Ed Towns. Yesterday, the African-American Barron picked up an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. How is this possible? As Duke explained, “The possible election of a dedicated anti-Zionist to the U.S. Congress, has thrown the Zionist-influenced media and the Zio-political establishment in a tizzy,” he said in a web video.

    Duke, a self-described “white nationalist,” clarified his reasoning for backing one black American against another black American in a race far away from his home state of Louisiana. “In a race for Congress between an anti-Zionist black activist and a black activist who is a bought and paid for Zionist Uncle Tom, I’ll take the anti-Zionist any day,” Mr. Duke continues in the video. “In this election of limited choices, I believe that Charles Barron is the best choice.

    Apparently, they don't matter because of their age.

    It's the reason why I took my age off my page, because people only focused on the number, not on what I was saying.
