well while there is nothing stopping a ten year old from making a intelligent comment, however there are certain gaming related topics that will limit a ten year old ablity to say anything relevent, like dicussing classic games and the impact they've had on more modern game for example and other similar topics.
now again there nothing stopping a ten year old from playin classic and etc but it would be very rare.

I view EVERYONE with "Idiot until proven otherwise" mentality, so it doesn't make much difference to me. If you can prove that you are smart and capable of mature conversation, then your opinion is just as valid as a 30 year old who does the same.
I would also like to say that the first response is VERY true. In the age of internet arguing, people will cling to anything they can to win an argument and will jump at the chance to discredit people by pointing out age.

In general, each successive generation grows up in a different environment than the previous, and this is especially true today, where communications and information technology are rapidly evolving the way we learn about the world around us. Of course, not every new opinion is right, but new and different information will likely produce different opinions. While it is a fairly accurate assessment to say that very young people are prone to making bad arguments based on specious reasoning and faulty understandings of how the world works, to say that they are always wrong is just flatly incorrect.
When adults encounter new opinions from young people, it's important that they appraise the information for what it's worth, and not dismiss it out of hand because it's the opinion of a child, even if this new opinion contradicts their own or has unsavory implications. Not only is this properly open minded and intellectually responsible, but it's what's good for the kid. Devaluing the opinion of young people is murder on their self respect, and can lead them to complacency and codependency, or perhaps worse, arrogant defiance. Nothing makes uncritical thinkers faster than letting kids think their opinions are worthless regardless.

In the riddle's (for Humpty-Dumpty's origins are as a riddle) original 19th-century form, Humpty-Dumpty was explicitly referred to as a "he" ("Threescore men and threescore more/cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before"), which is likely the source of the notion that Humpty-Dumpty is male.EeveeElectro said:
However, your niece is correct that the modern version does not include an indication of gender, and there is in fact no particular aspect of Humpty-Dumpty-ness that requires Humpty to be male.
Children have a certain knack for being very candid about their opinions, and can ignore certain things like connotations or bias when they look at things. Things like that come with age and experience, which at that point they don't have. So yes, I think children can provide refreshing views on things. Simpler views, and at times shortsighted ones, but we as adults have a habit of staring too closely at what is directly in front of us to see the big picture. Children don't have that problem as much.retyopy said:
So I guess my opinion on this is perhaps their opinions are not of value to us, but their thought patterns and how they mentally approach problems can be very insightful.

Logically a ten year old's opinion holds just as much weight as anyone elses, but I'll be damned if I let some punk kid outsmart me in a argument!
Attacking someone based on something unrelated to an argument is an Ad hominem. If the person's age is not an important factor in the discussion then no matter what age he or she is, he or she can provide a valid argument. Unfortunately most people oft he age of 10 don't usually provide valid arguments.
no but you might be exposed to some laungage/content that a ten year old should be hearing.
also escapist is strict on people who lie about their age (unlike the army, lol XD).
my brother lied about his age and he was only 12 and was suspeneded for a considerable amount of time.
so if you are ten, then i'd suggest you'd keep a low profile lest you suffer the wrath of the moderators.

With me i dismiss opinions after i have an opinion of them. Age does not have a factor in that. If someone insults me in an ignorant way then i won't listen to them. I don't care about age just tell me what you have to say, I'll value your opinion even if it's stupid because at least your being sincere. It just happens that most people around my age group (10-16) say stupid stuff cause they think it's cool you get the ocasional exception like me (a charasmatic 15 year old olimpian that may or may not be an evil genius mwhahahaha...okay im not any of those things....maybe) Meh maybe i said too much?
Person to person basis. I've always been a talented debater and can out think many adults but my parents are still smarter then I. I'm 15.
It depends on what you're discussing. 10 year-olds have less life experience and so yes their opinions are of lesser 'importance' but other subjects which require no said experience, they are just as capable of making a decision.

To be honest I began maturing when I was 11.SirBryghtside said:
Depends on the subject in question, and the person being asked. A 10-year-old is much more *likely* to have a less well-qualified opinion, but it isn't necessarily the case.
Yes, people tend to have an expectation bias as to the value of the information, but it's a pretty well-deserved one. Also not uncommon for people to think they're smart, age a few years then realise "... maybe I wasn't as smart as I thought I was back then".
Seen several indignant debates online, largely caused by people who don't realise how things will change. WoW forums used to see the "why do some guilds have 18+ rules?" threads every so often.

Pretty much this. Taking part in a debate contest with adults and people of various ages I can say that while I met some very intelligent younger people (not as young as 10, more like 13) their ability to reason effectively from experience was pretty poor and they tended to make rasher jumps of logic in an attempt to hold an argument together. I saw that rather than concede a point the younger contestants would rather change their argument to the point that they made themselves sound weak at sticking to a point and very hard to pin down as believing in a point as absolutely true. This culminated in the wiki leaks debate where a younger contestant tried to push that (he is arguing it is good) that Julian Assange has the perfect right to tell and not tell us things that he feels like and wiki leaks can still hold integrity, when pushed time and time again about the fallible nature of the owner corrupting the concept of wiki leaks.Generic Gamer said:
The judges were much much older than the contestants and the younger contestants found it hard to outright disagree with a judge, which is perfectly fine and i did on several occasions. Younger people didn't want to disagree on the point with an authority figure such as the judge, but rather try and compromise, which doesn't do well in discussion.
Younger people are bad losers usually, they cannot concede a point and progress an argument as effectively, and tend to find it hard to stick to a point or develop it, instead meeting any challenge by changing their argument in a different direction.
