Ok either this is going to be a really great thread..or it will degenerate quickly...lets see which it does. I am being serious in my reqest for information too.
These questions and premises have nothing to do with IW, IW threeads of discussion or any current on going debate and are ment to address things in the most broad and general way.
The Question of the Year is:
Why do people who are say between the ages of 12 and 19 seem to think that they are as knowledgable, understanding and wise in the following catagories as people 2, 3 or even 4 times their age and experience.
Catagories being: Religion, Life, Politics, Government and Society
I would think that the only explanation would be that people in this age bracket seem to think that all who went before them were brain dead morons who never knew or learned anything. Or that they are the first people ever to have an original idea on how things should be run.
I would also like to request information from anyone on the instances throughout history where someone in this age group actually managed to come up with some revolutionary concept or idea in these catagories that actully worked in the real world. I admit my knowledge in this area is limited in the extreme.
