Yes, we are judging this kid since he's 14. That's EXACTLY the point. He's closer to the days when he believed in Santa Claus then he is to the day when he'll actually have a clue. At 14, kids are TOLD what to believe. This kid has no exposure to anything except what his elders tell him. He might as well be a Russian pulling his opinions from Pravda or an Islamic militant whose only knowledge of America comes from what the Imam tells him. He's completely clueless, at 14 EVERYONE is completely clueless. At least an 18 year old is clueless, but he's beginning to become clueless on his own and not just parroting back what he's been told to say.
Really? Maybe back in your day when you were 14 and you had no exposer to the outside world. On the internet, you have exposure to all the information, you can easily see all perspectives of the problem and draw your own conclusions.
When I was 14, I've always disagreed with my elder's extreme right winged judgements. I always had my own opinion, and I never listened to them. In fact, my grandma fits exactly your description of an ignorant 14 yr old. She reads one editorial on the newspaper about something, and she takes everything on there as a fact. If she wrote a book, you'd probably take her more seriously than a 14 yr old, when you never read either of them, based on your generalizations on age.
I bet you are one of those morons that talk down to 14 yr olds thinking they're some stupid dumb idiot that doesn't have a clue about anything because that's how you were when you were 14.
Yes in general, I agree that almost all 14 yr olds are ignorant a$$holes that just try to pose like everyone else, like you when you were 14. Though there are still many that are not like you. I was in debate club when I was in high school. I debated with many 14, 15, 16, 17 yr olds about political issues.
If you think you had a clue about the REAL world when you were 14, you merely prove my point about how utterly ignorant kids really are. EVERY 14 year old thinks he knows what he's talking about, not a single one does. Go out and live in the world before presuming to offer a qualified opinion about it.
