Yes...I'm young....

I may not qualify in the US as an adult....but I'm no kid.

There. That's why I'm better and smarter-er.

If you were really that much smarterer you'd know that smart is not the opposite of ignorant. The opposite of ignorant is... er... unignorant. See?

I cannot even begin to fathom your level of smart...er...unignorance.

Nah. Still apples and oranges. The opposite of smart is stupid. The opposite of ignorant is uninformed. They don't cancel each other out. You can be smart and still ignorant, and you can be informed and still stupid.

Of course neither is optimal but the second situation is definitely the worst of the two. Ignorance can be remedied by becoming better informed, but as Ron White says - "you can't cure stupid."

Stupid is as stupid does, Ma'am.

You can cure stupid the only problem is it requires the same treatment method as killing zombies and that treatment is frowned upon.

Insert the speech given by every old fart EVER about how you're going to regret those words when you look back on them and realize just how much a kid you still were at that age.

Knowledgeable?

Even when I was young I got annoyed at people who misused "ignorant" to mean "stupid".

From your succeeding text I assume you meant "informed".

I did, but I was being stupid and/or uninformed on purpose for the lulz.

Seems like we're evenly matched. I propose a draw.

Not a chance. Twenty years from now I won't suddenly realize that you were right.




Of course twenty years from now I probably won't be around to talk about it, so I have to do it now.

You might realize tomorrow that I'm right....

Who am I kidding? Teenagers are idiots and quite honestly I'm ashamed to hold that title with all the YOLO, Swag, flat bill hats, and saggy pants.
