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.

schools teach kids the stupidest things these days. they only offer one side of the story, they are trying to suppress the young's natural inclination to ask questions by giving them the answers that those who decide what they should learn about want the kids to regurgitate when asked by anyone else.

@xSharp Yours is an undercover religious comment.

@Spaceman oh hell's no lol i have made clear my stance on religion.

im talking about learning about the holocaust every year while nobody has ever heard of the holodomar despite it happening at the same time and being twice as bad, and oh yeah it was carried out by our communist allies at the time..

but good that your on guard :) 👍

@xSharp Wasn't this always the case ?

@Tuscan yes, pretty much just forced indoctrination using propaganda.

but to be fair religious parents do the same thing. its fighting fire with fire but with no positive end result on either side,

they should train people to think rationally and for themselves, education is a personal responsibility after all, but thinking for ones self is the last thing the powers that be want to happen.. lol
