It's like debating over whether or not the devil has two horns or three

That would make for a rather short and dull debate.

The answer should be quite obvious.


PS: society always exists, though how it's defined may constantly change.

Or it could be that I'm 14 and insecure about my inteligence everything, and scared like ...something that I'll be insulted over saying something that someone who is far above me in terms of mental capacity deems incorrect

Yay for run on sentences

The opinions of a 14 year old are just as valid as an 90 year old. In some cases it is better to have the 14 year olds opinion. Farming and black jokes you want the 90 year old, how to download music, a 14 year old.

So it's essentually relative to what we grew up around?

Then I should probably stop talking about philosophy

It's a good thing, metaphysics would've probably came up.

to Shamrock: Well, I'm going to let everyone know right now that my cheeks only have so much room.
(reserve your place today)

to Baragon: No worries, no insults coming from my end. Debate is an exchange of ideas and opinions, it's inevitable that your's are going to clash with someone's eventually. Don't panic when they do and don't take it personally if someone disagrees with your opinions or beliefs. It's essential to the process. Take what you can from it.

In general, you won't be attacked or insulted if you follow the simple law of:
Don't start nothin', there won't be nothin'

Ignore open attempts of hostility and you'll be fine.

age very much decides how valid your opinion is. at a younger age you have less experience, you may have more knowledge, but less experience, and you need that experience to help your opinion with support. at an early age you may be a socialist, but not understand what socialism really is, or how it works, your opinion is therefore worthless because you have no practical value or proof to back up your opinion.


this is not always the case, this is the norm though. if a smart nice kind 14 year old is telling me wahts what, ill be happy to listen and take note.

how valid an opinion is depends on the subject matter and said persons experience within the content.

who are you more likely to listen to when talking about law a lawyer or a law student?

Older people may be equally biased.
Being shaped by experiences gives you very distinct opinions and beliefs.
But are those opinions the most valid?
It depends, it always depends.

The law student actually. The lawyer has forgotten half of what he has learned, that is why he hires interns.

It only matters if you like posting like a 12 years old with stupid quotes from 4chan, SA, etc, etc.

I mean, don't expect to be taken serious if you post like that, also being narrow minded and fighting with someone because he doesn't agree with your point of view on something.

It can all be found out by discussion. Which is the reason why the opinions of very young or old people are often dismissed - they just lose credibility fast in discussion, either by showing general inexperience or lack of perspective due to "over-experience"

My age decides how old I am, not how strong are my decisions or opinions.
I think actions are more important than age. Last day I saw an old man (he was like 50 years old). He was wearing scout clothes (a traveler?) and when a person on a car honked him because he was blocking the trafic with his own car he answered loud "Fuck off, motherfucker!" (cornuto, in italian, a disparaging word used for those men whose wife or girlfriend goes adultery) then he returned to his own car, talking to his wife and showing a big (and a little evil) smile. That was pretty interesting and made me smile too: when an "adult" acts like a child, great things happen. This is more like an interesting paradox than a clear example actually.
adults may have experience and morality, but children have truthfulness and spontaneity. Different ages should learn from each other, I guess, as the envy each other. A matter of what and how.

since the lawyer will have the know-how and actual experience. It's not something to be disregarded as easily.

And I kinda agree completely here.

After all, remember you have to be 18+ to vote. And that both physically (brain-wise) and mentally, you aren't a full adult until you've reached some age. That age might be 16/28 (since this varies a lot from person to person) through 50/100 (since the time of being senile is also very personal).

Having not read any post prior ( quick posting is fun! )
I will have to say that age is very relevant to what you are discussing, from it comes the general assumption of how much you went through already and your relative experience.
Being a jaded cynic with some stuff, I almost unvariably laugh out loud when people claim to be in love forever, and start making plans to change work/country/city to be studying/working/living with their BESTEST EVER LOVER, under a certain age.

So yes, age takes a big deal in taking you seriously in some subjects
GTFO MY LAWN!

Don't worry, I'm that age and I do the same. Laugh, that is.

I also find it funny when "adult, mature men and women" do things that are considered "childish" however, they add the word FUCK, and they think it's "being tough and mature" or something.

I respect people's opinions by what the show they know.

Also, if someone refuses to learn on ONE subject, I typically won't accept their opinions at all.

Is that wrong?

that again depends on the lawyer and his dedication to his profession but it also depends on just how good the law student is. difficult matter really

okay im going to be a bit of a dick and disagree again.

experience is helpful, which is what my older is better post is sort of about, and though older people tend to be more biased, they are less stupid, relatively.
no offense im pretty young too, but all i think about is sex and how to get more.
