"The way the 19 yrs old and the 27 yrs old think is totally different." - hf highfly, what you've said is true. but that's also true of the way a 24 yr old and another 24 yr old thinks...given that these two have been chit-chatting on the phone for hours (again with the objects of their affection) , i think that there is a deeper connection than that due to being of the same age. heck, i disagree with quite a few of my friends on many issues, but i can find a lot more common ground with my 50 yr old uncle and my 5 yr old cousin sometimes....
