Don't misquote me, boy.

I didn't say that age was the only way to a higher level of wisdom........but you'll never get there with your arrogance. The only way to true wisdom is through the fear of the Lord, and a realization that we are nothing, except through the grace of God.

You will only begin to learn what is really important when you stop imagining you have all the answers. And with your ego, only God himself can make that happen......and I would pray for that if I were you....

I pray that when you get out of school, you have some experiences that wake you up.......

(And about your accusation that I don't think........that's funny!)

Would a rose, by any other name, be less sweet?

you mistakenly consider arrogance and confidence in a position that is demonstrably correct, to be the same. A mistake on your part. Calling me "boy" won't mitigate your errors.

Excrement. It is the intellectually lazy, who claim that only through religion, can wisdom be found. Wisdom is found by objective observation and objective consideration of issues, ideas and history.

Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all. It can neither be declared from pulpits, nor set down in articles, nor in any ways prepared and sold in packages ready for use, Truth must be ground for every man by itself out of its husk, with such help as he can get, indeed, but not without stern labor of his own.
--John Ruskin

Hmmm, your bio explains a lot: "I'm an adjunct professor"

You know what they say- those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. I'm sure being in an ivory-tower gives you a lot of useful experiences.

At UC Davis, I went toe-to-toe with the administration on a variety of issues, and on each issue, I prevailed. Why? Because I do have life-experiences, unlike the educrats. Unlike you. And for the record, I've already finished my degree- this, after 15 years of real-world experience, both in the military and in the private sector. Can you say the same?

(And about your accusation that I don't think........that's funny!)

Another mistake. It's not an accusation, but a demonstrable observation.
