You obviously missed the tongue in cheek approach. A growing number of young people can't read or write at their grade level is not an insult it is stating a growing problem in our education system. If you didn't realise that the statistic was used as an exageration you prove my point about emotional maturity.

As for the Junior comment, sorry but you got my dander up with your comments about pulling bullshit out of my ass.

I am sorry, I must have missed the part where this turned into a debate about the education system? The fact that some people can't read or write passed there grade level, has nothing to do with there ability to research things, and find things out. As long as they can read, they can research.

Also wern't you just preaching about emotional maturity? and giving me grief about how negative my response was to that? Then you get upset with the fact I said you were pulling bullshit out of your ass?

Apparently we are at the same maturity level

Here we go again with the twats coming out saying this is Bush's war.

You guys are so pathetic. Do your homework.

Foreign leaders come out with praise us for following through with our responsibilities to NATO when called and doing it well and you dink's shit all over it. You should all get the anti-canuck medal.

Dont hate yourselves so much and if you do keep that self-loathing to yourselves.

An emotion-laden response from you doesn't change the fact that we now have blood on our hands as a result of our de facto support of the Rape of Iraq.

That's the dumbest thing I've read on this thread.

How's that?

I know that, but answer this for me.

1. What does maturity have to do with being-able to research articles properly, and finding out information or the ability to read and write? Which is the bases of this arguement?

Having the information and knowing what to do with it will differ according to the level of maturity. Young people are "generally" more emotional, and less disiplined. They tend to have an all or nothing viewpoint which clouds their interpretation of various subjects.

$1:

2. Obviously kids won't be as mature as there parents, but that doesn't mean that all kids are not mature. I am a gamer, and have met a lot of really mature kids. Kids who were even more mature then most average adults.

Of course not all kids are immature, just like all adults are not mature. Generally though most people your age are less mature than those my age.

$1:

I am 18 though, I think I have had the experience enough to function maturity wise passed a 10-11 year old...

I certainly hope so.

"Having the information and knowing what to do with it will differ according to the level of maturity. Young people are "generally" more emotional, and less disiplined. They tend to have an all or nothing viewpoint which clouds their interpretation of various subjects."

True, though as you said. Not all kids are immature and not all adults are mature.
So wouldn't it be hard for people to just assume somebody got information wrong, or there judgement was clouded regarding there arguement because of there age?

How's that?

For starters, the whole "Rape of Iraq" nonsense, but that's expected from an anti-American like yourself. As for support for the war in Iraq. Last time I checked all our troops were in Afghanistan, living up to our NATO committments.

None of our NATO commitments obliged us to go to Afghanistan. You should know that better than most, so cut the crap.

But being there, especially in the fighting role we now have, has had the effect of providing tacit support to the American pillage of Iraq. The two conflicts are in fact one and the same - something which Bush and company are well aware of.

[Bacardi4206]

Also isn't Canadian Special Forces operating in Iraq? (Not saying that as a fact, more like a question).

I read that, The CO of our newly formed special operations command now holds a very important allied command-staff position over there, the RCMP is helping to train the IP, and the navy is participating in maritime security operations in the Gulf. It is believed that elements of JTF-2 may be there, as well, advising the IA and IP. Not to mention that there are Canadian exchange personnel in US and UK units; combat units.

John Chretien did, Martin followed it up and so did Harper, with the approval of parliament.
