I do have to ask though... How could I double space my beginning sentence if it only took up one line?

I'm sorry but are you a idiot.
are you a idiot.
a idiot.

I hope this is irony, but it doesn't seem to be.

Is it just me, or does it seem like countries that English is not their first language, but are being taught the English language in school (or any other source, actually, I wouldn't be as good in English as I am right now without the internet, school didn't teach me sh*t) are A LOT better in typing and grammar than your regular american folk?

I don't think it's just their writing, do you catch a glimpse at MTV's commercials at times? You would know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. (My IQ is dropping 10 numbers every second I watch a MTV commercial for an original show of theirs, I mean "U WOUNT GIT ENY OP DIS MUN!" *the melting is braining my stupid*)

However, I'd like to point out not all of this generation is that stupid.. well, most of it, but I was lucky enough to find one person who's not brain damaged and he became my best friend.. Why am I pointing this out? Well, I'm 12.. well, I'll be 13 in 2 months, I read many novels and many deep R rated films (not your mindless action, however, I'm not a complete nerd, I realized in about the age of 8 that I should have some fun in my childhood, as when it's gone, it will never come back), and I'm coming from a country which language is not English. To be quite honest, most of the citizens here don't know much English, and all of my knowledge in English is self-taught. yet I'm being treated like I'm "special" like the rest of my classmates by my annoying english teacher, god, school isn't about teaching us stuff, is it? it's just a place for the goverment to throw us in so we won't swarm the streets, won't have freedom, because we can't have freedom, we are pests (I'm being sarcastic here), but I'm going off topic.

What bothers me the most though, well, not the most, but it bothers me alright, is that even though I'm a self-prove that children can be not completely mind-less (I'm trying not to brag here, but please forgive me if you thought that I bragged a bit, because even I sensed the "I'm better than everyone" vibe from my text), when I hear someone telling me he's 11 or less, or even if I just see someone less in age than me, I automatically treat him like he's an idiot, it's almost hypocrisy but I cannot control it.

Well, I think I'm done with my speech, thank you if you read it all, this is the first time I let that thought out from my mind, had it for quite a long time, and I thought that this would be an appropriate topic to spill it all out.

In every generation there are smart and dumb people, you can't change that. Also I'll say one more thing: Those who criticize young generations are forgetting who raised them.

Sweet Jesus, man, use paragraphs to their full extent. Only put a single thought or idea into a paragraph. Also be sure to capitalize the first letter of each sentence. It helps readability. This goes for any language, not just English.

Editted, you do know that if I put a comma, I shouldn't capitalize the next sentence's first letter, right? (Of course there are the words which automatically get capitals.)

Oh, and thanks for not giving a single f**k on what I wrote.
