You're just like my father. A socialist that refuses to learn from history, and thinks everyone else is responsible for his mistakes.I won't deny I haven't experienced some of those, but you also don't know what I have experienced. You shouldn't assume I don't know anything just because I'm less than half your age.You'd know, wouldn't you?And if that happens, it's their own fault, absolutely nobody is obligated to help them, and forcing them to is thievery.
I'll remember you when I need an example of how age doesn't always mean wisdom, and farting dust doesn't mean you're worldly.
If something happens in life that makes someone poor it is their own fault? Gotcha. Enjoy your youth. Ignorance is bliss!
Edit: I guarantee you will not find a single person on this forum over say... 40, that will say that you don't learn more from life's experiences than you do in reading books and on the internet. Try it.
Of course it's possible. Some people just choose not to learn, or are incapable of learning. Socialists are a prime example of choosing not to learn.
I'm not trying to be mean to you. I know you can't control how old you are, but it is what it is. You absolutely can not substitute books or internet for life's experiences. You have no idea what responsibility is until you have to get a job, pay mortgage, pay a car payment, pay insurance, pay for food, shoot a gun, train in the military, have to defend your life against an attacker, ... everything. Or until you deal with things like finding a friend overdosed on drugs, or traveling to a different country, or witnessing a murder, or having a long term relationship, or having major surgery, or so many things that you just have to experience.
I'm serious, if you don't believe me, start a thread about it. Ask people if you can gain wisdom and just as much experience from books and the internet as you can with life's experiences. Don't believe me? Ask the people.
You don't understand what I'm saying. Of course it's POSSIBLE to learn more from life than you can from books, but it depends on the person. Some people, like Socialists, refuse to learn.
Wrong. Sorry. Way to change your tune though about life's experiences.
Your life experience can't teach you history.
