hell I am way older than 15 and I don't understand some of the things you say at times .... the whole A=A thing is gibberish to me .... If you want to talk in truths then you assign "A" a meaning and then you can discuss if A=A. I cannot grasp the concept you are attempting to put forward ... sorry but it just doesn't make sense when you talk about "truths"

what is true when you are 4 is not true when you are 40 .... I don't know if it a time warp space continuum thing or what but life and it's experiences alter your concept of truth ....

I disagree about her "hanging" out here at the forum ... she has the anonymity of cyberspace to seek, ask questions and find out her own truths in her own time without someone else "telling" her that they have the answers to the "truths" ... at 15 you are still formulating the questions ... the answers you figure out in your 20's and 30's ..... I am sure she gets enough of her parents telling her what is the "truth" and here she can discover her own truth ...

She is a bright girl and she indeed is worldly and knowledgeable in many respects but you assuming she is ready to "hear" your version of "truth" is a bit presumtious on your part .... one man's truth is another man's lie ...

I have a difficult time with absolutes .... I don't believe you have anymore answers than the rest of us ... oh maybe in a few areas of your personal realm of expertise but as for knowing the "truths" sorry not gonna bite ....

sometimes mundane , superficial and mindless conversations are fun ... life isn't always about the esoteric and the big truth in the sky. I think you will find some of the simplistic truths in laughing and living ....

you might want to think about the truth of maybe this isn't the place for you either? maybe us/we mindless drones just enjoy one another's company and use some of our downtown to socialize and converse with one another here on lighter topics than what you wish .....

HOWEVER ... it isn't polite to imply that she is too young to be here or that we are not up to your level of intelligence in seeking out answers or truths .... I don't think I interpreted your condescending tone incorrectly .... should you choose to leave because of the quote below ......

"Unless of course this is just another mundane forum that encourages the discussion of superficial and mindless topics. Which in that case I'm not sure I would want to stick around."


oh well .... another one bites the dust .... fare thee well and all that rot but our darling Kay has as much right as you do to be here ... peace out

Whew .... glad I got that out of my system!
