Do you find me irritating?

If I did you'd know it.

What if I am just stupid and don’t know?

All my self correcting and my occasional grammar mistakes, not to mention my troll forums and writing style when I'm with other kids definitely give the impression I'm a kid.

 

But, I'm tired of people using it as an excuse to make my opinions less worthy.

Young people can bring a new perspective to the world. If anything, your opinion would be MORE worthy, but everyone’s opinion is equal.

Okay.

Everyone's opinion is equal as long as they express it in an intelligent way

Yes.

I don't feel that way

Well, I mean, when I'm thinking about my writing, everything I write screams of kid.

 

Except when I'm actually in a very real argument.

I joined a club. It seemed to be full of racists and fascists. I left the club. Have to agree with you over moderation is better than no moderation

i would disagree. over moderation results in mutes for using the english language as it is normally used, and i'm not referring to cussing. that censors people.

on the other side, no moderation results in people making jack a s s e s  of themselves. 

if i look at the extremes and compare, erring on the side of less moderation seems the way to go. if you (or anyone) is offended, they can submit an abuse report to staff.

and, therein lies the rub. getting a response from staff can take weeks. less staff and more bots creates a crazy ride that sometimes shines the light on erik and jay about how they have bungled this.

the reason i specified english earlier is because a couple of bilingual members have pointed out how the bots are not "trained" to recognize virtually any offensive spanish terms.

 

when someone writes something you or another deems offensive, you are not required to respond.

I don't mind a frothy verbal battle but I won't put up with insults and threats and yes there are clubs here like that

determining what is insulting is extremely subjective. 

i was kicked out of a club for calling people idiots after they parroted the story that the last election was stolen.

it is your opinions and style that people disagree with. you made a statement about the national debt a few days ago. when pressed on it, there was nothing.

i think it is ironic that it is me responding to this instead of a septuagenarian that has taught history.

just because youngsters have opinions does not make them more worthy. 

you are defending a person that admits to making troll forums. that is childlike behavior that provides no perspective other than showing how the poster should stay out of adult conversations.

 

young people can present a point of view that others may not have seen. that is true. to say that a perspective on the world should be one viewed through the lens of teens is crazy. so, no, everyone's opinion is not equal. where history, politics, and current events are concerned, most under the age of 20 here don't know jack compared to us that have lived through these things and have forgotten more than some know.

2. Yes no one's opinion can be more worthy unless they prove it with facts and therefore opinions of 'adults' are also not more worthy.

3. Do you behave the same way (the 'adult' way) with everyone you meet and talk to (children, same age, elders?). Must be very boring. He is doing things he enjoy doesn't mean he cannot have a serious opinion or 'adult' conversation. And how about the 'adult' who agreed to let a 8 year old join their team if (s)he is 2000+ and that women need to have a talking option on site (and against if children are using it) 

(Also, I have nothing against these adults. I completely respect their opinion. Just pointing out what, in my opinion, is hypocrisy)

4. Yes only from teens pov is crazy but there opinion is equal until you prove it wrong. What does it matter that you know more on the issues you 'adults' are responsible for creating? If the 'adults' are so smart, why are they not solving the issues they have put the world into? 

1. Oh so you now say that those in 30-60 year range are more 'adult' than 70+? How is it decided? Where are the rules written?

MrIndia

And yes, obviously

True. No one wanted me to continue, and they didn't want to hear it. There was the fact I'd get muted, and to be honest I didn't really feel like talking about it at the time. Or maybe I did, I can't remember.

So basically you're counting me out on for having less experience and for making troll threads.

That actually makes sense.

Honestly, you're right. I'm not that good at small talk with adults. 

If I don't know enough info about anything, I can't make a full blown argument.

 

 

But I've defeated many people in arguments, when I know about the info. Just because I'm an inexperienced kid doesn't make me useless, even if you say that in the nicest possible way. 

 

Also, looking at your comments from other threads, you don't seem to get along with many, so I'm not surprised to see you attacking me.
