Bombs Go Off at Finish Line of Boston Marathon

[Violet]

The delusion that age doesn't matter... Oh well, I think age does matter in decision making, as experience, the time needed to learn, to commit mistakes, does infact influence our decisions. I am not saying that young people can't be more intelligent than older people, but experience is also a factor. I am not ashamed to acknowledge that I made infantile errors in my youth, not due to lack of intelligence, but due to the arrogance of thinking I knew all and assumed that old people were overdue. I still make grievous mistakes, but at least recognize my fallibilities. Food for though, food for though.

Oh, experience certainly matters... but is also irrelevant in this case. Clearly, the bombers experienced the right circumstances for them to bomb peeps, and I would hate to see them gain the experience to supplement that with 'effectively'.

Unless you're a wine, age really doesn't matter Plenty of older peeps go for that terrorism thing, make grievous mistakes, and fail to recognize their failings. If it's food for thought: I'm starving.

It is true that some people have prejudices and take advantage of younger ones by claiming to be older, that can never be an argument, as is a non sequitur, but the oposite stands equal as you cannot dismiss an argument from someone experienced in a certain subject because one invoked the age factor.

Non-sequiturs can be arguments... just not logical ones These can influence people regardless.

And sorry... but what are you talking about? I never dismiss arguments that aren't age-arguments due to invokation of an an age factor. Doesn't stop the age factor's addition from being retarded, and they shouldn't make that notation (within reason) Had the bomber been 6 or 13 or 59... they would only have presented that the person was put into the situation where they would become a bomber. People can be brainwashed at any age, can be influenced at any age, can be foolish at any age, can be angry at any age, can be coerced at any age, can be a bomber at any age.*

*Well, if a 2 year old is bombing you... I highly doubt that's the 2 year old's work (they may be the bomb, but they certainly aren't the one bombing you). Unless it's a clone, and it's pissed
