If there is one piece of advice I would give you it is that whilst you are new here yet you seem hellbent on upsetting people with one of your very first posts. I suggest that when dealing with real ADULT people you learn a bit about respect, consideration and the ability to allow people both the right to an opinion and the right to occasionally make generalistaions when trying to make a point. We are not school kids on here who turn any disagreement into an argument we prefer to debate them politely and rationally.

I didnt 'go off on one' at all. I gave my opinion. And wasnt even attempting to start an argument. I think your just a bit afraid as one young person has come on your precious site and caused a bit of controversy. I clearly stated my opinion in this thread, and most people (expect you) agreed. Even the person who made the thread amitted she kind of asked for it.

And please dont go patronising me about being on the internet longer than me. Experience means nothing. I most probably have the same amount of knowledge on the internet/computers as you do. If anyone is being childish here, its you.

Thomas has only gone and given his opinion in a way in which i think makes people sit up and actually read his thoughts rather than ignoring him. I dont see anything wrong with his post if thats the way it comes across to you then maybe you should get a bit of respect and cosideration and allow the young lad to type what he thinks just like everyone else on here? i didnt see any of it as an argument or come across as an argument. In fact i think its a very good debate! Is it just very few people who jump to conclusions about young ones today or is it just the ones who dont listen to the views of young people?

Oh why thank you. Maybe Entwisi doesnt realise young people have an opinion in this community too.

I think adults are too quick to judge youngsters as being all the same, all youngsters are chavs, all chavs and chavettes are bad. Thats not true.

Oh, and thank you aswell. Somone else who realises young people also have an opinion. Are we getting the point now Entwisi?

Thank you. Another person. Its really nice to know some adults realise the majority of young people are nice, and dont tar all young people will the same brush.
