um, i believe my reply was basic english. no "big" words, or thousand dollar words to quote you
age is a prison, you can't talk as though your farther advanced then me, and vice versa, you can't assume due to age. people learn from life, and you can't honestly say just because your, sorry i forgot what you stated your age as, but i think you said your retired, so i'll just say 60, and i'll call my age 20, but anyway just because your 3 times as old, means you've automatically have had more life experience, i'm sure some aspects, you have, and again, vice versa, i don't claim to be anything, other then myself. i fail to see validity in your above quote, your summing things up as you said "we have learned....", thats putting everyone in the same boat, only due to age, and that is wrong
and just so you know, i'm not mad at any of your quotes, i consider this good conversation, you can learn from everything, and this is no different. i can use that same quote, but instead of "we", i'm just going to keep it at "i", i can't speak for my peers, nor can i say how you came up, what made you, ect.... that forms this topic, not age
as i said, good convo
