We're all of the same human demographic tho...we all have the ability to relate to people who go through something we haven't actually gone through.0

relating, absolutely.
espousing your personal beliefs and opinions, over and over and over, and parading them almost as facts...something entirely else. at least imho anyway.
i can 'relate' to some degree the feelings of loss say some one may feel at the end of a long-term relationship. however, if i have never been in a relationship over say 6 months...have not lived my life for say 5-10-15 + years with a person, loved them, etc......i think? it may be difficult for me to offer anything but sympathy. i certainly wouldn't feel like i could accurately offer advice to them or tell them the 'right' way to go about their lives, etc. just one example off the top of my head.....Stay with me...

is it some sort of bizarre twist of human nature? is it the internet?and no, i am in NO way saying those with little to no experience or who were not directly asked to participate NOT do so - all ARe entitled to their opinions and to SHARE them, of COURSE - but i think it's a weird phenomena at best.
just curious....

I can't possibly imagine who the OP means. Honest.
The thing that really gets to me is when people claim their opinion as fact. I'll admit i'm guilty of going on about stuff i've little experience of. I'm 21, i've little experience of most things. But I always try to make sure it's clear that what i'm saying is my opinion, based on my experiences, or lack thereof. To parade around like what you're saying is the gospel when you can't see past your own blinkered world view just drives me insane.
Another thing that gets to me is selective quoting. If people are having a debate, there are those on here who choose only to see the points that they want to argue with, and completely ignore the ones that shoot them down in flames. It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LALALALALA" when someone says something you don't want to hear.~AKA Dave-of-the-dead~
