Several comments have been made at my expense and the expense of anyone under the age of 18 who visits this MB.

**** **** young persons
Perhaps not understood by the younger readers
take him aside and explain metaphoric examples
WE DESERVE IT
visit concentration camps so I understand war

A metaphor is comparing one thing to another through the use of analogies. I know what it means. High school is war. Being gay is the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Being 16 is the third level of hell.

I have never screamed I DESERVE anything, especially the things in my life that were worse than any war I would fight in.

I have never flamed anyone and it takes alot to push me. I'm sorry you felt the need to do so. I had some relevant points to make in answer to Steve's post about values. I'm sorry they will be lost. But, being a kid, I have to assume that they are worthless anyway. I repeat that the most important value to me is respect.........for a person's thoughts, ideas, empathy and caring no matter their age.

No one died defending my right to flame; they died defending my right to say what I'm saying right now. I know it...I respect it.
