The age-card is often irrelevant to me, doesn't stop it being ridiculous. I suspect that I already understand every single reason people are ageist or otherwise make ageist decisions (and it's not actually due to age, but to their expectations of it)... but wouldn't it be great if JUST ONCE someone arguing on the other side even remotely understood WHY they believe as they do. Attempting to teach those unwilling to learn gets old... it's almost as if you can't teach old retards new things

Example: What ARE these fundamental changes?

There are few variables regarding the issue at hand. Maybe if you thought about it just a little bit... well, that's me being optimistic

Quote:The human might be the most complex entity on the planet (universe?) and when two of these come together something even more complex comes into existence that can no longer be grasped, at least not by my puny little brain, and although you might really be as smart as you let on to be I suspect even you will fail to analyze this with reason.
Planet. Sort of.
You are indeed making a good case for your brain's puniness, but then: that's in character, and I'm unsurprised.
I wouldn't be asking people if I didn't think that I could learn something, or if I wasn't attempting to teach them something. You're not half as worthless as you think you are, but I can't force you to show yourself.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
