I don't think they're dolts at all. In fact, they sound like they have some deep thoughts and logical rationale for some of their beliefs. At least they think about things and are able to articulate their thoughts.

I don't expect a PhD level dissertation from a 14 and 16 year old.

ITA!! They are thinking outside themselves. and getting ridiculed. Is it a crime to be refreshing?

Curious choice by the OP.

Well, they're doomed to be drop-outs according to the OP, who must know them personally to make such a judgment.

I guess those here who criticize had all the answers when they were 14 and 16.

No, not according to the OP, according to Jaden himself. Didn't you read the entire piece?

Will and Jada Smith are members of Scientology. So maybe that has something to do with their weird kids.


That explains it!!!! I didn't know they were Scientologists.....


Is it any more strange than teaching your kids there is a magical guy in the sky who you can pray to, to secure eternity in paradise? I'm sure the OP would blow a gasket if anyone mocked that.Wink

I think I can control myself. After all, you guys have been mocking that for years. I didn't know the Smith's were Scientologists, but it does explain their world view.

What is their world view?

JJsMom and Company always have to come in and attack the OP, whoever that may be, yet when others do that, they get lectured about staying on topic. {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

They're just teenagers being quoted out of context. As far as I know they've never been arrested or hurt anyone. Will and Jada have said they are not scientologists.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Topaz Gem, didn't mean to make this a religion bash/debate/thread. *I* think Scientology is a little nutty, so I guess their kids view stem from whatever views their parents might have.

Sorry!

Cranberries, no need to apologize, it wasn't you that threw this thread off course. I posted the article specifically to hear what others thought. Smile

Every comment here is on topic. You slammed two kids, calling them weird, living in an alternate universe, stoner, drop outs, etc. The are KIDS. They are going to speak and act like KIDS.

As for the school tweet- the right wingers are always claiming that public school brainwashes kids, so what's the problem? Isn't that the reason for home schooling being fashionable in certain circles? So a 15 year old says it and he's a drop-out.

Willow is growing into a very pretty girl. Jaden looks like a stoner, but many teenagers go through that phase. He is otherwise handsome, IMO.


....Jaden looks like he just rolled out of bed after being on a 3 day bender.
