I lol'd.

thats a rather foolish statement...
There are 5 year olds out there with intellectual capability to fly a plane, but will any government or plane owner/passenger risk it to find out? No.

Just because someone is not allowed to do something does not mean they are not capable.

I am 14 years old, and talking to someone they would say, "You can't drive a car yet." Well the point is, I can drive a car just fine. I have before and I will again. The government where I live will not "allow" me to drive a car but I can if I want too....

Because something is not common does not mean it should not be allowed.

Privledges and Assumptions should be based off of maturity and physical and mental capability.

Highly doubt you can drive a car to the same level a someone who is older.
Just because you can hit the gas, go in a straight line, or even turn, does not give you the ability to "drive a car just fine".

you know nothing of how I drive....yet you dumb down my statement as if trying to shrug it off

a bit stereotypical thinking that "kids" cannot drive eh? sure older people have more experience but that says nothing of their skill

Yes it does, listen to what you're saying lol

@_wolf_
thank your government, its idiots like you that appear on the news.

"6 youth dead on the highway 160km/h in a '88 toyota camry "

Any retard can perform "simple" driving tasks. But that is not considered being a good driver.
And unless you are one in thousands of kids who are very much exposed to driving and cars at a young age, then I still won't belive that you can drive well.
And I'm not saying being older makes you a better driver. Ohhhh no. There are 30/40/50 year old drivers that are horrible. But a 14 year old, No. No maturity, no judgement.

As Orson Welles said:

"I Know What It Is To Be Young (But You Don't Know What It Is To Be Old)"

XuChu 2 things....

1. Mines gonna be a '92 camry not a '88

2. Just because some (many ) people in my country do stupid, dangerous things does not mean that I do too. Think about what you are saying. "It is idiots like me." What have I done to deserve your negative targeting? You compare me to fools soley because I said something different than what you believe. I am grateful that the government where I live attempts to control dangerous and stupid things but that does not mean I must agree with how they go about doing it. Instead of thinking about all possibilities you relate to shameful incidents . . . The government in my area requires a two written tests, driving lessons, and a state supervised driving test and then provisional periods without full privileges. Is that going to stop an accident from happening? No. The times I have driven I drove at neither a high speed nor a dangerous manner. There was not a soul on the road. Do I regret doing that just because the government says not too? Not at all. People need to do more than just simply follow the laws, they need to think for themselves and act in the safest manner in dangerous situations. The laws are there to help the people (well most of them), but I still feel that maturity is a greater deciding factor for responsibility than age. I agree on the thought that, "Most older people are more mature" but that does not mean that mature younger individuals should be excluded rights due to only their age

As smart as the 5yrold is...it's a kid.

I kick it.

Lemme ask you a question, would you get on a plane piloted by a strong, mature, smart five year old?

whats wrong with talking about sex with her?

my apologies, but over here we have people getting killed from drink driving, speed driving, EVERYDAY even though we have a population of only like 4 million.

XuChu with all due respect.. it seems like EVERYTHING is going wrong in your
country.. where do you live?

America.





Just guessing

New Zealand

ah ok. never hear so much from that country.. its interesting what i hear though

only good thing bout here is:

lots of trees and grass
nuke free

if u care i can post all the bad things

haha no need for that

its just good to hear what its like because i never hear anything of NZ. just
that its a nice country for holidays n stuff.. but not really anything from the
culture of the way of living

imho kid/ little kid etc. Is an overused and clichee word just like noob. Kid doesn't reflect upon age anymore these days. There are a lot of immature people on the net, but you can't label them as 'kid', because kid should be a (young) child.

Lol some laws are made for a reason. Driving at 15 with an adult is a good law. Drinking at 21 and weed are examples of bad laws. And because you drove with NO ONE around in the middle of the night, that makes you a good driver?
Lol.
Whatever. Once you start driving for real, you will relize how a 14 YEAR OLD can not handle a car.
14 years old. Barely in puberty. And you want to be able to drive a deadly machine? Hey, its your choice. Just don't come near Tampa, please.

Hmm you still haven't given a reason why a 14 year old cannot handle a car...not to mention that you know nothing about me. You think because you have already experienced a portion of life your the old wise man? I think not. Sure you have more experience but that does not mean you have to speak in a rude way to people younger than you. And saying a general unrelated assumption like, "Barely in puberty" made me laugh, considering again you force everyone into a sole group without considering variation. Have you ever seen me drive anything? I think not. You have no reason to declare me a good or a bad driver other than your foolish generalizations based upon age. >.> And the thing about weed...Weed has no draw to me, I am perfectly happy in the state of mind I am in and have no reason to alter it


And lol at what someone said about the 5 year old flying the plane Depends on who else was in the plane, how well I knew the 5 year old, his maturity, and whether or not I had a parachute

I always thought XuChu from china....or some other country with a repressive gov't blended with a society that determines your worth by your school grades....o0

yes. thats why i thought it was so interesting to hear about this stuff.

anyway, on-topic, for me a kid can be both of the things. either immature /
irresponsible or just young.

i was from china but I'm not anymore.

China sucks less than NZ, no dumb ass company can threat the government.
In NZ the water company goes, sorry we gonna increase the water bill by 10%/yr for the next 15 years because we want to make more money. (<-- exact quote from those water company) we live on a Farking island and our water bills cost $50 a month! imagine the increase!
**** NZ , NZ sux.

wow...thats is just awful...a country run by corporations who have in their power the ability to change your lifestyle with a memo....never thought a place like that existed......*dies from overuse of sarcasm*


USA same here they just don't send the memo, you kinda hear it through the grapevine....

kids are people who are young. idiots are people who act like kids.

some kids act like adults, however that doesnt make them so.

some kids think they are acting like adults but are actually just acting like what they think adults are...

until you have actual life experiences with a ton of things, you are not an adult.

until you have lived away from your parents and have had to pay your own bills, your own rent, etc, you are not an adult.

anyone 18 and under is not an adult unless they are not living with their parents.

actually, lets rephrase that... anyone still living with their parents is not an adult. i dont care if you are 39.

/end my thoughts

...and to sum up!

BEING A KID OWNZ! do w.e you like ftw
BEING AN ADULT SUX! responsibility ftl, paying ur bills ftl, working ftl

don't agree there, there are people who buy a house then get their parents to move in with them because they are their parents. This is not just one o two people but rather quite a bit of the population

ok, how about this... anyone living in their parent's house. lol.
