If that's the case, then what are you waiting for?

I can understand you disagreeing with me. That's fine.

But where is the substance of that disagreement? All I see right now is indifference: you have discounted my opinion, not rejected it.

The purpose of discussions like this is objectivity: we don't need to wait around to be proven wrong when we can confront the ideas head on now.

You are absolutely right! I'm not even engaging. That's because you're 29, and I have the illusion that I know a few things you don't, which can be got into your head (if they can at all - some people are born fools) only by experience, not by argument.
