Personally I also surmise any in-depth 2-way conversations of any substance, would be one-sided with those too young to comprehend most ot the subjects discussed here, and why even they are valid concerns to be addressed in the 1st place. Without having gone through and experienced most of realities of these conspiracies, world-events and issues...and without a real life-experience in these matters, Im stating that most conversations are, and would be, very one-sided on that alone. We would not initiate any of these with the younger crowd if we knew ages.
Should we not address these issues? Of course we should. Should we not respect your albeit limited yet insightful comprehension of say 911 when you were only 3 or 4 and didnt know how it affected us at the time and only when you read about it? Certainly youy have some ideas from parents and teachers...maybe. Perhaps...to a degree...and hence...my point.
At 13-14 years of age I was well read, versed and independent in my thinking whether it was Kerouc, Nitzse, Ferlingetti, Aristole or Cayce...but at least I understood I had little yet to add to that "adult-world" of the Kennedy MLKing assassinations and Vietnam.
There werent many "adults" who would have knowlingly sat down to expound on any of that or any other universal ideologies or conspiracies knowing I was that young...at that time...and could not have had any practical, actual or substantial opinions based on life experiences...yet. So..therein...is my...point.
I would like to give credit to all of you young-adults here that contribute, and I was addressing only the position that most of us adults probably would not voluntarily sit at the "kiddies-or-teen" tables at the next Holiday family dinner. Or whould we? Have they? And at the next Christmas or Hannuka...are they...planning to...sit there?
Why not?
Adult members of ATS? Which teen websites and forums do you belong to and contribute to? You dont. Because they are for and about teens,...thats all. And that affirms and confirms my point. And to the younger contributors and members here? Keep em coming. The future is yours, and...certainly not ours. And I only wish we had sites like this back then where intelligent contributors of all ages were respected for their opinions. Even if they had no experience....where here, you are.
OP? Give Mom some time...it may never come...but you may still be surprised. We are all...never too old to learn something new........
