Okay, I understand now Frank (I'm calling you Frank for kicks). By the way, my name isn't Johnny either, Frank, so please don't call me that.

Now Frank, you just totally undermined your argument with BG. "Those that post on internet forums tend to be smarter then your average bear," so by arguing with teenagers on the internet when she's barely beyond being a teenager, she's hardly arguing beneath her when she argues on the internet, is she?

Now Frank, I'll acknowledge that the average teen is an idiot. I was in high school for 5 years, I met more than my share of idiots there. I've also met at least my share of idiots since I left high school. I can tell you, a smart teen is smarter than a stupid adult, the only difference is the amount of 'life experience,' but life experience doesn't really amount to a hill of beans when trying to hold an intelligent conversation. You'll figure this out eventually, unless you're one of the people who has to rely on 'life experience' alone, instead of life experience and intelligence. You get all that, Frank? You want me to repeat it with smaller words? Too bad Frankie m'boy. Too bad.

And why would I bring up teen voting? It's quite simple Frank, it drives home a point and relates it to the wider world, instead of just a simple internet argument. You should always try and end a statement or an essay by relating it to the wider world. You'll learn that in your english classes if you've got a halfway decent teacher and you pay even a modicum of attention.

I won't relate this to the wider world, because I'd hate to confuse you further. You're welcome.

Now please, for your own sake, be quiet.
