Re: Fundamentally different

"Do I have a source for these contentions? Yes; human history."

lol, what I mean to say is: Can you provide a source for those contentions?

"Didn't your school teach history? Apprentices were learning a trade so that they could support themselves as early as possible."

You couldn't be more vauge--which apprentices are you speaking of, and from which country and point in history are they from? Are you asserting that every single young person from every single country, in every single point in time (until recently) went through this exact same process? :-/

"New York State Teacher of the Year (twice)
New York City Teacher of the Year (3 times)"

Yeah I have read much of his book, he's a great man. :-)

"I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh or abrupt; I don't know how young you are, and to be sure, I never learned that kind of history in high school or even college; much of it you must study on your own if you have the desire."

I'm in my early twenties--part of the reason that I asked you for a source is so I can study it on my own. :-D

"Please understand: I have no interest in "winning" debates; I come here to share knowledge, thoughts, and yes dreams..."

I just want to know that the knowledge & thoughts you share are true, which is another reason that I asked for a source.

"I have been a girl-lover for many years..."

I've been one for all of my life! :-p
