      Because you actually read great political theorists / historians / economists. You an anomaly. Most high school kids are so ingrained with idealistic emotionalism they fail to use reason. Being young isn't a bad thing though, in fact in many cases it is good because there is always a mentality to question the status quo but in questioning it don't replace it with idiocy.

      You should've seen me around election time. While the Obama shirts were flyin', my brain was cryin'. (Honestly, it was terrible to see the results of the "mock election" we had. 88% in favor of Obama...And they only put McCain and Obama on there.)

      But let's not derail the thread.

      well part of what makes us human is that we are all different. We have different emotional and physical characteristics. I guess no one is in the position to choose which 1 is better then the other, but it is okay for us to have opinions about it and express it openly. A little bit of both tolerance and intolerance is good.
