Just a Child

Let's say I'm a child. (That's pretty easy. I am one.)

Let's say that I haven't seen much of the world yet. (Hell, I haven't even driven a car.)

Let's say that I spend a bunch of time learning about the world, through various sources. (Through, say, I don't know, the Internet.)

Let's say that from my varied and non-biased learning, I come to have my own opinions of the world, at least a few. (Okay, that works.)

Let's say that I want to express my opinions on a website devoted to this kind of thing. I may not know all the answers, but I know some. (It's a valid way to make arguments, if not win debates.)

Does that mean I'm fair game to insult? Should I be ridiculed, thrown down, spit upon?

Does being a child mean that I don't know as much, and that my opinion doesn't count?

I am human as much as you are, just as right and just as wrong.

Respect that.
