The Separation of Church and State

[Violet]

Hey Sae,

How's about you and me having a boxing match then? By your logic it will be fair even though I am a 35 year old male and you are a 16 year old female. After all some women are stronger than men so throw out gender discrimination. Some heavy people are weaker than lighter people so throw out weight class. Some older people are weaker than younger people so throw out age discrimination. So when we gonna fight huh?

Also, I'm pretty sure Meatball was makin' a joke when he said that ridiculous thing about the elderly but hey maybe he is that big of an ass. That wasn't the point you were trying to refute anyway.

I'm an agile little critter Unless you actively box as a pastime: I'm not too worried

You don't need hit points if you never get hit

I think I am a more capable wrestler though (I have more experience with the sport)... I weigh about 130 pounds (and am not really so strong)... but when you are agile and flexible enough to bring a person into a cradle, triangle choke, etc: you don't exactly need strength or weight For understanding, I can usually beat my father (55 year old man, who is at least 250 pounds and fairly strong, a surveyor and setnet fisher, once a wrestling coach and still occasionally wrestles), my brother (27 year old man who is at least 235 pounds, works out every day and surveys, setnets, and has been in the state finals twice.)

So I think I might someday start beating you in boxing... but as I have no experience with boxing: I'm pretty sure you would win in a match right now I also don't think that griping or tripping, or maintained physical contact is allowed in boxing?

They've lived longer so they've experienced life longer----

As a senior nearing 70 years, I have experienced life longer. I don't think anyone would argue with that. Ahhh, but what have I learned through this longer life as compared to a 15 year old or even a 30 year old? That is what we should really be wondering. I will just say that I was born into Fundamentalism and I am now an atheist. Would you agree that I most likely have learned quite a bit through the years?

Age is a measure of the time... it does not dictate what we have done with that time. More age means more time in which things can happen... but it must be understood that nobody experiences the same things at the same rates. Some people have an almost sheer rate of experience... still others flatline. People are so different from one another... we cannot accurately hit most people with a line of best fit... the only just way to consider people: is one at a time, individually.

That's my disagreement with an Age line... it is no more descriptive of a person than their ethnicity. I refuse to base my reasoning off of such a double-standard as Age, Ethnicity, Height, Weight, etc... because the law should be fair and unbiased towards everyone.
