Age and Religion

[Dyakovo]

20 year old male and I am cathlic.

Is that anything like being Catholic?

I think it's some strange love of cath-licking, which is an abbreviation for catheters.

Used or unused? And wouldn't that be a fetish instead of a religion?

Why are they mutually exclusive?

I try to have some sympathy for the kiddies. I remember feeling pretty damn superior in high school because none of my friends were interested in discussing politics or religion. Just me. Then I went to college and started discovering how much I didn't know. (When I was 14, I had no idea how much I didn't know.) I was briefly re-impressed with myself a year later when I began learning more and more of what I didn't know, but by the end of college and the start of my real adult life, I came to the renewed and humbling realization that I still don't know as much as I think I do.

And I think, for most people, that realization just comes with age. But when you're a teenager, you're hellbent on figuring out who you are, who everyone else is, and how you fit into the world, but you just don't have the knowledge, reason or maturity to do anything with it.

I know and it's so frustrating! I can use reason . . . But with little expirance, damn it!

A spelling book wouldn't be bad either.

Well, I know of one man trying to get tax exempt status for his Temple of Orgasm religion, so who knows.

Good point...

If it helps at all (it probably doesn't), experience doesn't necessarily make figuring this stuff out any easier...

Yeah, time is no guarantee for wisdom. It's what you do with your time.

[Buffett and Colbert]

Yeah, time is no guarantee for wisdom. It's what you do with your time.

Definitely not wisdom, but for knowledge, yes. And is knowledge not the gateway to wisdom?

[Dyakovo]

Yeah, time is no guarantee for wisdom. It's what you do with your time.

Indeed, I suggest posting on NSG...
you won't learn much but it will be entertaining...

[Mad hatters in jeans]

like putting pictures of kittahs on dinosaurs clearly you are a wise person.

Depends what you know, I guess.

For example, if you spend 20 years learning everything you can about Superman, then no. If you spend 20 years learning how to make homemade twinkies? Maybe.

I use it wisely. That's how I got to be smarter than most people I know (including adults.) I'm not being arrogant, I really am. It is actually depressing, as I would naturally expect older people to be smarter. So everytime I've needed advise, I've had to seek it on my own. But then again, I live in rural Tennessee so that probably has something to do with it. If I lived in say . . . Vermont?, I would probably be dumber than most people.

Hmm... it's sort of like a more liberal Fox News in that respect.

My cat teaches me patience and love in the face of splattered crap and scratched-up furniture that I JUST BOUGHT. Every time I see my flag, I think about my cat and the lessons he has bestowed upon me. If not that's not wisdom, nothing is.

Careful there... While this may be true, it's a fine line between perception and reality.

I think there are a few old farts our there who know a thing or two.

Bad choice of alternate state... Not too much difference between rural Tennessee and rural Vermont.

I suppose the real challenge isn't actually obtaining it, but prioritising what you learn.

sounds like more of a memo than wisdom.
same thing maybe?

He was sent to Earth to test me. He's cute and furry to give me strength. It's wisdom. It's gotta be, otherwise I'm just going to throw him in a river.

Perhaps you're not looking hard enough?

that's quite extreme. you're into furries then?

Please, to prevent a catastrophe (and to avoid my furry), save Fuzzy.

There is an increadible amount of difference.

Why would there be?
