"This question asks you if you agree whether or not Children should have a voice in matters."
I don't think so. The question started w/ something like "when adults are entertaining". In other words, when a kid's parents are having a party, or something, should they dress the kid up and present him/her/it to all their friends, but the kid has to sit there and be quiet while the adults have their fun.
At least, that's the way I understood it...
Dude, that's why you never go to any so called parties that have adults present. No offense to anyone, but it's as though people have their brain sucked out at age 18, cuz all the adults I know have no idea what they're talking about, and usually just go on about how great they are at everything while always disregarding any suggestion coming from a minor regardless of how good it may be.
-------------------- Me- Hi Jen! What's up! Jen- You again??!?! Listen kid, I'm not interested in you. Stop bothering me, I'm a lot older than you and I have a boyfriend. How did you find my ICQ number anyways? Me- Oh, so just cuz you're a movie star now, and you're new album made millions, you think you're too good for me? Jen- Yes!!! Get it thorough your head! I am a person, I am not Jennifer Lopez the hottest woman on earth that everyone wants to sleep with, I'm a person, leave me alone!!! Me- Fine! Be that way! Me- Jen.... Where'd you go.... I love you... please come back.... please....

What are you, fifteen, or so? "[A]ll the adults [you] know" are probably just about limited to your parents and teachers. Of course you'd say that.

I took it last night, but I don't remember the score.... All I remember was that I was more left than Charles. *LOL*... I was right about where Ghandi was, I think.
I don't wanna take it again. It was a pain in the arse.

Sorry to nick the same quote that Tim did, but...
"...it's as though people have their brain sucked out at age 18, cuz all the adults I know have no idea what they're talking about..."
And that opinion will last until, roughly, you're 18 years and one minute old.
"...and usually just go on about how great they are at everything while always disregarding any suggestion coming from a minor regardless of how good it may be."
And children always think that they know everything, and ignore the fact that, in almost all cases, the adult has been there, done that, and bought the overpriced t-shirt.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I've had a person go on about how I should preserve his files while his hard drive's read light had collided with his disk and saying that I'm an incompetent idiot because I can't do it, without realising that it is a technical impossibility for a large company with lots of resources and a real impossibility for a small company operating out of a basement and run by me.

Unless you're Scotty, what's the difference between a tecnical impossibility and a real impossibilty?
And Infinity, not having a go, but how old are you? You're running a small company, but you're saying that adults ignore children, which is (to be fair), a point of view mainly held by children.

LOL Shik! But perhaps InFINiTy's statement is more metaphorical? I've met (and, alas, dated) more than a few people who were trying to backup their corrupted data to me. I always suspected they had something scraping up their platters. A loose read/write light would seem all too obvious a choice.

Hey, if you spent all your time reading a horribly corrupt version of English, you'd overcompensate too.

Personally, I would refuse to take ANY form of lingual advice--cunning or otherwise--from anyone who deems Tupac Shakur worthy of sigline stature.
