[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 6670, member: 42"] [b]Transcription error, need help[/b] Well, you have to ask yourself what a stranded person of this type would sound like; and also how you would make sure you sounded if you wanted us to think that you were a stranded person of this type. He has succeeded in the preliminary impression. However, as Cary has pointed out, it is a culture in which it appears that an extended adolescence is encouraged and cultivated, and that the blurring of time distinctions or conception fits in well with the suspended maturation. One has permanent parents and guardians; one yelps out for help when stranded in the bad world of the present. One is not self sufficient. This is why the Eloi analogy is on point, also. There is of course no such loss of time concept or usage, since the traveler has distinct notions and feelings of consequence, sequence, and duration, as well as a good idea of the overall passage of time within communities and through history. The idea of an "advanced" culture dependent upon grownups who know more and better than you what you should do, and only tell you what to do because they love you, is particularly irksome to American males over the age of say, 13 or 14, and does not, to me, represent something to look forward to whatsoever.
