I may get banned for this but I'm going to write it anyways. I will be discussing about the thread with the same title I used here written by zprod69 (
http://talkfreelance.com/showthread....&page=1&pp=10). First of all I don't aggree that that thread should have been closed. I can't remember who closed it but if it was the site's owner he/she have the right to. But still that was inpolite cause I don't remember zprod69 posted again. As if he just wanted to make his point and don't care about the opinions of the rest of us "kids" as if he KNOWS he's right about it.
Stop stereotyping, you cannot make such statements on what you don't know about. Yes I assume that you THINK that you know that you ARE RIGHT and I'm wrong, anyways I'm only a "kid" to you right! " yes kids not freelancers and whoever is trying to argue with me is ever a pedophile or a kids labor exploiter ", so I may be a pedophile to you right! That show's that you not only lack character but also always ready to juge people you don't know.
Let me let you in on something. What do you think about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (
http://w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de/cmp/mozart.html): "composing when he was five and when he was six playing before the Bavarian elector and the Austrian empress". You still think that kids are imature? What about Ludwig Van Beethoven (
http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p1394.htm) : "when he was eight and had his first piece of music published by the time he was 12 years old". What about Jason Meyer, what about PANKAJ ARORA (articles at
http://www.youngbiz.com/). I suggest you read the articles on these remarkable "kids", matter fact read all the articles on the kids on this site (
http://www.youngbiz.com/). You think that we are all iresponcible and imature but you can't deny the fact that there are "kids" that makes more money than you can ever your imagine. And there are those like Jason Meyer that have their own Company. So who's to say you can't "trust" "kids" with large amounts of money, or business. You said "Their brain is not fully formed yet, they are going to disrespect the older person, that's the way it is ! Do you remember? That's the way i was", what are you some kind of shrink or wise one. Of course there are going to think that way, people such as yourselfe, are so stuck up with the "grown up" bs mentality that you can't realise that YOU are the ones that have problems. YOU are the ones that make a statement to be heard but don't listen up to others, as you so demonstrated in the thread. Just because you were disrespectfull and all when you were a "kid", does not mean that ALL of us "kids" was or is that way. If you concider yourselfe as a "grown up" then GROW UP!. You're thread show's that you are a childish person and is no more mature than any of us "kids" in this forum. In fact above all the posts I've read in in this forum, you sound the most imature and ignorant. And what's this about "this forum to attract serious freelancing topics and adult exchange about work should be age limited and certified", that surely proves that you ARE in fact an ignorant and childish person. Certified for what? Can you explain where do you come up with these ridiculouse statements? There is no where upfront or in the bylaws of this forum or in other forums similar to this one, that states "21 and older" as if it was some kind of porn site. This site is open to ALL in or not in the fields as long as they are interested in the subject or care to help, share opinions and resources, there is no reason to single out anyone regardless of age color origine or any other reason. And I believe that the owner of this site should have said something about that.
Being the youngest and smartest of my class, I graduated at 17, I am already on my second year of computer science and I'm only 19 years old. And don't think "so what, I bet there were a bunch of teens anyways". There were 24 year olds in my class and I found myselfe even correcting my own teacher on certain matters that he thought he knew well about. So don't come up with that "They would stay and listen 5 minutes then next they would tell you how you are wrong and how so far your life has been worthless. It is a physiologic fact". Again, are you a shrink? No professional or shrink would ever say anything like that, and if you ARE in fact a shrink or know a shrink that would then you and / or that shrink should do what is usually written in ads when schools is open go "BACK TO SCHOOL". Cause you obviously missed a few things the teach was saying. "create a barrier to keep kids out", are you seriouse? No really are you really, really seriouse? Should "kids" be treated like stupid beings according to you, that they should be put asside when "grown ups" are talking about entrepreneurship or business? Can't you see that it's this mentality that most people like you have that keeps them from ever communicating with their so called "kids"? The reason why most teenagers act the way they do is because "grown ups" don't value there opinions or respect them as young "adults" than "kids" you show absolutely no comprehension towards younger people. A "kid's" personality usually depends on their entourage and the way his/her parents treat and raise them, I hope you at least know that.
Did you at least look over your post a minut afterwards? "I just realize that i have been caught in an exchange(heated one with kids , telling me that i am not a designer) who are they to tell me that? Disguised under pseudonyms hiding most of the time ,their age." If you're so much of an "adult" then you wouldn't have been so "heated" when "kids" tell you that. And in his/her had all the right to say all that she/he had said as well as to hide his/her age. Do you remember something called FREEDOM OF SPEECH? This IS domocracy. He/she Don't HAVE to tell you his/her true age if desired. Here it seems that YOU must be the pedophile, otherwise you wouldn't have said that. Of course you can say what you want, just as I have the right to say what I want here, just as long as I respect bylaws, BECAUSE I'm posting this on HIS/HER site. You're funny "they should make a age verification and identity verification for getting on into this site". You said it as if you know better on how to do the site creators' job. And even if you did that's the OWNER'S choice. Again, as long as HE/SHE is respecting the laws applied on the internet in his/her country/state. I am not intending on disrespecting you (as you may probably be thinking, concidering your post on "kids"), I am making my concrete point on how you went wrong on thinking such things.
"Look at your statistics what is your age average? Do you think that's reflect the age average of a professional freelancer community? Not seriously. So why dont they come to your site? Because you are invaded by kids disrespectful one This is my last post in this community, you change the rules you can contact me again. and i would love to help and participate until then farewell and good luck." This show's everyone in this forum that he has no convictions. He is leaving JUST cause that happened. Boy! I bet if a 5 year old said "dummy" or "you're ugly" he'd leave and feel mad too. zprod69 is so much of a professional, can he tell me that if it was not the use of information provided both offline AND online in forums like this one that Eric Jordan, Owner of
www.2advanced.com in his room would start experimenting and be where he is at now? No. I don't think so. I could go on and on and on, but I have better things to do. But I had to tell you what IS reality on the issue.
