That was silly speculation about me; completely irrelevant to this topic.

Discussion is about adults so emotional as to still be children. "I" have no relevance here. Your reasoning fails to separate who I am from a topic about how some adults think.

This discussion is difficult for those cannot / do not separate their emotional biases from from logical conclusions. For example, one who chooses to smoke cigarettes was not thinking logically; was not using a part of the brain that only adults have. No one logically decides to smoke cigarettes. How many did so anyway? Still do not grasp theirs was a classic emotional decision.

Why did he swat a headscarf off that women's head? Why did he continue with insults that only a child would express? Was it a decision based upon adult thinking? Of course not. It was a classic example of an adult being emotional - as if that scarf somehow 'dissed' him. Even being 'dissed' is associated with adults who are still children.

DanaC - I insulted no one. Why assume emotion in a statement of facts? Did you read some sort of secret or implied message in that post?

Children are emotional because (if you need an emotional reason) that is great. Whether children are emotional is neither good nor bad. It just is.

Contrasted were adults who are adults verses adults who still think like children. That says nothing about children. That does not direct insult at anyone - obviously. No adult who acts like a child was insulted because only the nature of his behavior was defined. Even defined was a brain section that defines that distinction - pre-frontal cortex.

Headscarf on a women's head is irrelevant to any adult who is thinking like an adult. But somehow, he takes 'insult' (or some other emotion) from that scarf. Was he thinking logically like an adult? Of course not. His emotions were imposed upon that headscarf and woman. That is adult acting like a child - emotionally. His actions were acceptable only for a child (maybe); completely unacceptable for adults. His verbal insults further affirm that conclusion.

A logical summary of his emotional tirade is not based in any emotion. Why assume an adult who acts like a child somehow demeans children? He was a classic example of a adult who still thinks like a child.

Summarized only with facts, without any emotions, and without defiling anyone was who he (that type of person) is. At least one somehow must impose his emotions on that conclusion.
