I am an incredibly bright young person, ask me a question.

So:

1: You're like one of those 'substitute/trainee teachers' - not yet qualified, and universally scorned; especially by those students that actually know more about a given subject than you. (I ran into a LOT of these during my college years).

2: 'Heaven on Earth" - WTF? - you expect us to take you seriously now? "New Jerusalem"??!! Are you a Red-Sea Pedestrian perhaps?

3: Your disrespect of prior generations is telling. You consider yourself to be superior, without earning the respect of those that created the environment in which you intend to thrive. Pitiful and narcissistic.

I'm sure that your peers are proud of you for posting a controversial topic anonymously on an internet forum.

I'll remain proud of my kids who have graduated from the US further educational system - with my support throughout, well aware that they're now supposed to think and provide for themselves.

Are you prepared to quit sucking on the teet?

I'll answer #2 as that is the only comment that is worth replying to: it's a sad day when one can't imagine living in a different world than the one you are presented with. Thats a consequence of being so "grounded" with the "real" world, you forgot the entire reason you came here.

My last words to you are; jealousy isn't worth the karma, as karma will always be a bitch. You should know from all your experience, right?

Question for you OP:

What is the Secret to Life?

Dystopian drivel.

Predictable bullshit from someone who has yet to confront reality.

Good luck in the 'real world'.

Just another Obama cheerleader that has yet to learn how the system really works.

Sad, ... but inevitable.

There is no secret; life doesn't hide away from you if you actively seek to find truth in it

Looking for an answer with more soul.

You may know facts OP, however, life is about depth of feeling.

Creative Passions in whatever Arena your talent is.

And you will not find the secret to life in a textbook.

All you give is textbook answers.

Put down the book and experience the world.

And they'll also see a 20 year old has more maturity and poise than mindshaft. We live in a world of grown up children it seems.

It's not about age, it's about what people accept as reality and what they deem as fiction. The american lifestyle is one big escape from reality. From the hijacked language, to the constant bombardment with advertisements and slogans, to the labels, to the unnatural living conditions. People accept stories for reality. Everything is pretty much not what you think it is. All of our information and stuff is screened and diluted from the history of it, if not contemporized all together. Maturity is relative.

People are people. What can you do?
Peace

Well I want to censor some people's views and opinions from my thread, but I won't just so people can see their wisdom earned through years of experience. Good points though
