John,
>>Your statement is based on which facts? I am attempting to gather some facts. You are attempting to refute a theory without stating any facts to back up your position.
>How about the body of common knowledge. To correlate age with civil behavior, knowledge, etc is totally without merit..
Where is that common knowledge documented? C'mon, John. This is sloppy logic you are handing out here, and you certainly wouldn't let anyone else get by with a statement like that. You *can't* cite any references or facts to back up your position, can you?
...totally without merit...That's taking the argument to a ridiculous extreme, I believe.
Feel free to conduct your own survey on the same question I posed. At least you will then have facts to base your conclusion on, not just a world view.
