As far as any one persons permission to enter a debate is concerned, I would interject that a debate is not complete if any one opinion is rejected. After all, is that not the entire point?

Now as far as strictly relating things consistent within an age range, I doubt that will be possible in consideration of all those like myself who refuse to grow up. I tried it, and then I had kids. As far as validity of opinion on the matter, well let me say this. Last weekend, I moved to be closer to work. I knew my apartment was 'near' a high school, not long after signing the lease, I learned that it was in fact kitty corner. I took note of the field opposite the intersection the day I viewed the apartment, I did not realize that it was the practice field for the football team. So, like it or not, I will be increasing my knowledge and views on 'teenage behavior' rather quickly. Not to mention only 7 1/2 years before my son hits 'that age'.
