logic does not denote experience - a person will always lack experience about something - that does not mean they are irrational - logic is a way of thinking about things not about knowledge gained from experience these are different. Good for teenagers maybe the future will be in good hands.

I think so. However, as anecdotal as it is, most teachers I have associated with over the years swear up and down that kids are becoming more intelligent in general. Though many also state that they are also becoming less opinionated when compared to the youth of the past. Take that as a good or bad thing.

I wish the same could be said for republicans. Never in my life have I met more illogical and irrational people then people who vote and support the republican party values and ideas. Even 5 years-olds are more logical than an adult that votes for a republican.

We are what we eat...even as what we see, smell,taste.feel, and invision...this process begins from the first split of the eag to two cells instead of one. It involves communication between the infant and mother...a coxwain of thoughts, feelings etc that end with the chid born as perfect. Ready to use muscles that the mother inspired with her movements and thoughts...the conclusion of what the mother ate, drank, saw, knew, etc. established directly to the child who at one point caused the mother to suddenly want a home, a crib for the child, or a new husband...lol.

I find that every generation of teenagers have their own since of logic. Wether or not it has anything to do with real logical that is a different story. Even psuedo logic we have found to be quite convincing to the mass since they were trying to survive on a logic of their own anyhow.
