I Respect The People Who Deserve To Be Respected

I think the opinions of the 13-15 age group are as valid as those of any other group. Many of the posts made by the youngest members here are amongst the most interesting that I have read. They are also frequently amongst the most mature, albeit often with a certain intellectual naivety, which I tend to find refreshing.
The replies they get are usually dismissive and disrespectful, I would have expected that those who have greater life experience would be more supportive. The accumulated knowledge of those of us who have lived longer may be greater but IQ tends to be much higher when we are younger.
If a person is wrong, educate them don't belittle them. That should apply go anyone regardless of their age.

Sad to see bitter people trying to dull other people's shine just because they lost their own.

@TheOldBones73 bitter? that's the first place you go? I don't want to deal with kids here so I'm bitter? Spoken like a 20 something

Well considering your response and the fact that I never in any way directed my small opinion at you, I'd say yea, your quite bitter. Also overly aggressive and in general unpleasant. You seem to have this complex like this site should pander to you. This site nor does any one on it owe you anything. This site is for every body and if you don't like it I suggest you find a page dedicated to your age group.

@TheOldBones73 you have no clue who I am or why I think the way I think so you attach feelings and attitudes to my words...you'll not meet anyone as non-bitter as I am. You are waaaay off...I just do not want to be forced to deal with little kids here...perfectly reasonable

I'm reading what your writing and coming to my own conclusions, if you don't want to come off like an unpleasant, bitter, sour apple, maybe try not acting like one. I'm sure most happy, laid back people see somebody else have a different opinion and go out of their way to confront them for daring to disagree, lol.
Also, you are not forced to deal with any one, do you not have control of your own computer? Are you incapable of finding different groups or even other sites for people in your age group? Why would you choose an all ages site and then complain when it doesn't pander to you? That is not reasonable, that's delusional.

@TheOldBones73 you're reading my words and completely misinterpreting their meaning dear...is my point

@TheOldBones73 I don't like being less than friendly to people, especially maybe of a certain age-group though I don't know the lady and don't want to, but I very much agree with you. You've articulated it very well.

TheOldBones73 · 31-35, F

@Fernie I doubt it. I took your words and their meaning the way you presented them. You actually tried to insult me by referencing my age and everything, don't even insinuate I'm twisting your words, you just didn't expect me to be able to stand up for myself.

@TheOldBones73 man...you took that right out into the cosmos...this is exactly what I'm talking about...you...a kid...you claim to know me better than I do. My truth means nothing to you...you have to be right. So damn tedious. Ten people can say the exact same thing for ten different reasons...but, since you have very little life experience...you can't process that yet. So tedious. I'm done dealing with you kid. Like talking to a box of rocks. I won't be reading anymore of your silliness so don't bother.

I think I'm capable of coming to some pretty solid conclusions of you based off of your behavior, just because your in denial about your own short comings and refuse to accept responsibility for them doesn't make me less intelligent, the same way your age doesn't guarantee you can intimidate and bully somebody half your age on the internet. See ya later bye :)
