I am not struggling at all but find it useless to argue with anyone that has a whole life's experience of maybe 3-4 years in books instead of living in the real world. There is nothing you can say or do that can give you the experience that I have seen and experienced during the time period you weren't even hatched yet until well past when you were stomping in mud holes. Many of us old fuggers were there and have experienced 10,000x of what has ever been printed in your books. I am not trying to belittle you at all but give it 15-20 years and you just may be having this same conversation with some other teen that just won't understand the difference. Heck I was there and did the same thing and I am sure that I argued until I was blue in the face but later on I began to understand the difference between experience and text.

Take the Twin Towers for instance. I am assuming (yeah I know) your old enough to have felt the full affect of that life experience deep down. Just remember in 10-15 years when some youngin reads an article or two then visits the Memorial thinking that was enough to know everything about it... Well they will never know it like you or anyone else that was here while it was actually happening. Not sure how old you are but you should be old enough to understand what I mean on that one.

Now don't jump so quick to defensiveness this time. I am not trying to argue at all but just make points which has nothing to do with that rambling first post that once again was not composed by me.

Therefore I am not arguing any point at all but simply passing time watching everyone else think that they are making me understand what they have read in a classroom instead of actual life experiences.

Now if you want to bust my azz in politics than I have no doubt that you are at least 50% more educated than I am on current affairs. You seem very intelligent but a little close minded. I have learned that not everything is as it seems but instead I have seen what politicians say and then do once in office so really no one knows at this point.
well that's actually a solid post. not much I can say to that(except that i turned 20 last month, so i'm just over the teen mark), but i draw more from experience than textbooks, really. i may be barely 20, but i've lived on 3 continents, experienced the wars that happened in the balkans in the 90s, a nato bombing in 99, and a good number of other things. i'm less naive than you might think, but you're right in that it's all relative. i still have plenty to experience.

but all the trolling was just for fun, ignore the ad hominem attacks, i didn't mean anything personal by 'em.
