"Even an 11 year old..."
Since when do we put more weight into the opinion of a young adolescent? If a child of the opposite opinion stated said opinion, would you not automatically discredit it due to immaturity? Seems odd to use it for your own benefit just because it parallels your own views.

If an eleven year old had an opinion inverse to the one she conveyed in the OP, this forum would call it indoctrination.

Children have a fresh perspective. One that is often not as influenced by other people's as say yours or mine.

That is so far from the truth. Children's perspectives are almost absolutely influenced by forces around them, their parents in particular. It is when you grow into a mature human that you truly begin to build your own ideology based upon everything you observe around you. To say otherwise is, well, really dumb- to me.

When I was young (and I still am for that matter) I had a basic understanding of my ideology. It went against some of the things my parents taught me but wasn't a direct opposite. My ideals are as follows People are fools, too split down the middle with confliction. Understand their error. Become a wizard Umm... I was a dumb kid okay.

You may have thought so (as I did), but you don't know how wrong you are until you realize how wrong you were.

That's your opinion, I have mine. And while children are influenced by their parents, think able all of the times kids just speak their minds. Idk, I just think that since kids are relatively new to this world, they are still discovering. Thus, they are closer to what is right, un-influenced.

If they were not to have been taught, they'd be animals. You're mistaken.
