It's one thing to learn about a subject because you've read about it and quite another thing to know about it because you've lived it. Perspective through life experience goes a long way in having an accurate view of things. 

Mike's problem is he learns a lot of things he talks about but has not experienced much of it to actually know what he's actually talking about. 

Learning and knowing are not the same thing.

Quote:Typical RW poster: Democrats waste our money on bums! Public housing is a waste of money!

Me: It's not great but it's better than letting them live on the street!

Americus: You've never had to live in section 8 housing, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Me: But I don't think you're a bum and I don't call people bums for living in government housing.  He does!

Americus: You don't know.  Learning from reading and knowing from life are not the same thing.  

Me: Sure, but typical RW poster doesn't know what it's like to need government assistance either. And he wants to cut it!

Americus: Yeah but I think he's cool and I just don't like you.

Further proof that, no matter what their situation in life, no matter how much they have in common, Gen Xers will just never think Millennials are cool.  

It's OK. I'm not here to be liked.
