How much smarter do you think you are than the typical 5 year old, or even 8 or 10 year old? You're 19 and I'm 47. I've got 29 years on you, so i can't even go back that far enough for a comparison between you and someone younger than you.
It's really not comparable. Children's brains are still growing, they're still expanding their capability to understand the world around them. I'm not saying that stops so suddenly, but by the time you're around 21, your brain is done growing so rapidly. That doesn't mean you are incapable of learning, or that you stop learning from experience - but it means that you don't absorb information anywhere near the rate children do. You're mind doesn't expand at the same rate anymore. As you get older, your habits, and often, your opinions become so ingrained that you're unwilling to change them.
It's not comparable because as you get older, your brain actually starts getting LESS bright. I'm not saying you're at that age - but the point is that you're capability to learn new concepts deteriates the older you get. So I'm nowhere near there - but to say that a 40 year old is 10 years smarter than a 30 year old or something like that... well that's plain dumb. Go ahead and tell Ridge his analogy (which wasn't even an analogy, btw) suck, because yours are plain nonsense.
It shows your ignorance. Somebodies age isn't a clear cut indicator of intellegence, especially when it comes to specific subjects. My brother is graduating with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering. He's 21. But I suppose you're 26 years smarter than him at that subject, too, Joker, because age is a clear cut indication of intellegence on every subject, according to your logic, my brother cannot know more than you since he's younger, you're smarter.
Obviously you've had MORE experiences, and I would know MUCH less about, say, military stuff than you. That doesn't mean I'm clueless, or that I attemt to change the "speed of light" like you so "smartly" put it, with all that, you know, experience you got over me.
Sorry I tried to explain that the House Edge in roulette is the same no matter what bet you make. I must be stupid to figure out the simple formula to calculate House Edge. Oh and sorry I tried to tell you how not to be a jack*** when it comes to religious issues, something I think someone as "experienced" and "street smart" as yourself should know. I was totally wrong
