In reply to Aellios.
I agree with you on the fact that no civilized culture would allow or accept children in the army, however I did not mention the army in that scenario once, compare it more to more a post-apocalyptic group, similar to the cast of the Walking Dead. The point I failed to get across is that as Korrenian stated that in some situations there can be exceptions, in the scenario given, surely if the society was still standing the governing body would deny the child of a reasonable age to infiltrate the pharmacy, but if a life was at risk and normal had crashed and burned would they deny the child who could save their friend at reasonable ease and the means to do so rapidly and efficiently? There is a secondary point that I hinted at and slowly fed in, is that age is a number and it's experience that makes a person who they are.
I understand that children, more so than adults behave more immaturely around friends and when they have lost, but as you have said yourself, both Adults and children alike share these traits, I'm sure there are numerous videos of people (Adults and children) rage-quitting games, people only quit in these situations because they don't have the power to abolish the opposition and crush them at ease, this is the same with children only children lose heart and cry more easily. If what your hinting at is that when children lose in the games they will be envious and abuse their power totally and utterly then I must correct you in saying that children are not all so spiteful. In addition your point about "mediocre decision making" is a little off, in assessments nowadays in schools, especially in Geography and History depend on making a decision and backing it up with cold hard fact and your opinions and thoughts, I know people in my classes and Sets achieving the grades of 15 year olds on these assessments, me being (possibly,) one of them. I know what your saying about reflecting on the community et cetera but to be honest haven't adults in the past made mistakes too, as I also stated in my post, both age groups are prone to failures and mistakes.
Your next paragraph pertains to inappropriate content. If your child has seen the internet, they are ready for anything, do you think workers at GAME only sell 18 games to people over 18? I am 12 and I could walk into a shop and buy an 18 rated game no problem, in fact I have done sometimes, does that make the store corrupt? Maybe. But to be honest, in a world were most of my class know 50 positions, I think we've reached the bottom of the barrel of beer and now have begun serving dirt filled with water.
Your last TWO paragraphs summarize your general stance on this subject. But then again your denying exceptions once more. No opinion is wrong, but I see holes in yours so it looks as if I'm looking at Swiss cheese. "Thou shalt not kill" is a commandment, no? Christians live by these holy rules. 10 of them (Or if it is true, a good 433), but usually all are just one line, if we lived by JUST the word of god, if a man were to stumble into the home of a student, decree that he himself was an assassin is an assassin and this is his first "mission", slash at the student with a knife and cuts a large gash, only for the student to pick up the baseball back and forcefully bash the assassin over the head only to find out he had killed the man. Would the Murderer of the Murderer be hung for his actions? If we lived by the words spoken by the tongue of god the creator, the almost assassinated man would die and be hung in clear view, but nowadays there are court cases where the man would walk free. This is an exception to the commandments, but is looked upon as a reasonable one.
In this argument until someone in the hierarchy who can take action comes and acts upon either one of our sides desired actions.
We're crying in the acid rain.
It's pointless.
But we're just going to get hurt until we get over ourselves and get inside.
Thanks if you read this through your awesome...
