How many times have you found a site available only available to people over an arbitrary age? As I have said before, I believe the mentality of discrimination based upon an arbitrary measurement of age is unproven and irresponsible. At one time, it was believed that African Americans were incapable of the maturity and intelligence required to function. Since then, we have realized that race, gender, and many other false factors have nothing to do with intelligence in maturity. Well, the logical next step would be to realize that everyone develops differently. Just because some teenagers might not be mature, it doesn’t mean all are. Actually, this is one of the biggest reasons I love the internet. On the internet, a dog can be a real estate mogul and a teenager can participate in a vast array of discussions. That’s why I am particularly surprised and upset when a seemingly interesting and liberal site has a policy prohibiting anyone under 16, or n. Why do these sites feel that a certain demographic has nothing to add to the discussion? Welcome teenagers into your discussions, and you will receive the benefits of listening to the voices of the future.
