Hmm...now why am I not surprised that you take it as an insult?

I've already commented before that you seem to me to be "tarred with
the same brush" ( having similar traits and attitudes ) as your
friend, Mr.Casso, who also sees insults when there are none intended.

I really don't think that 13 year olds can fully understand FAQs,
documents and literature which were written for mature adults. That
is not an insult but more likely to be fact and it does not itself
make those young people stupid. It is more likely to be their own
behaviour and attitudes that makes them appear stupid.

I am quite surprised that you are indeed 13 years old because some
of your pictures, I think would suggest a much younger child, say 7
or 8, but of course physical age and actual maturity are not
necessarily related...it very much depends on each individual.


I'm not saying they are poor pictures it's just that the level of
perception and age in a child often shows in their pictures:

Some 13 year old girls are married with children, at that early age.

BTW. Hope you are _not_ already married at the age of 13...like Mr.
Casso claimed he was 13 at the time of your posting of the " This is
a Public Channel " article and now tells us he is happily married
although he could only have recently turned 14.

Meanwhile, suit yourself how you take the things I write.

Toodles,
