Dhagax-Tuur Posted February 20, 2004 Assl All Wr Wb Since education, locations and the likes have been covered, I thought I should bring this up. However, one thing should be clear. One is respected with his intellect, but not the years he/she has lived on this Earth. Which reminds me the old-age somali analogy: Village elders gathering at a tree and getting all the elders of the village to discuss a matter. As usual, the venue was under a shady tree, top of the tree was a youngster. He heard the elders saying to each other, 'let us get all the elders', which prompted this remark from the youngster, they didnt realise he was there, "you should be gathering the intellectuals not the elders". And the elders accepted the truth in the youngster's comment. The point of the story is "age doesn't have to matter, what should matter is one's intellectual capacity". Time to reveal the years........ Btw, I am 25 [old, right? I know} ---------------------- Geeljire geela waa wada jiraa waana kala jiraa.

Delilah Posted February 22, 2004 i don't know why u are asking if age doesn't make a difference!!!! Just like skin colour, age too has become a very relevant point; but i totally agree with you, age shouldn't matter, but instead how well- knowledged the person is. Like Aaliyah said, " age ain't nothing but a number.." i'm 17 btw!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
