I need a new battery,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Exactly. And you can say it without adding a stereotype of "all young people would do this type of stupid thing."

go back again and see if I used the word "ALL" when I referred to the younger guys, and see I the term "STUPID" was also used.
in-experience is is a poor excuse for ignorance!!!

Actually, in-experience is pretty much the definition for ignorance. Grab a thesaurus, look up ignorance. I bet inexperience is a synonym for ignorance.

I have had a battery explode as soon as the ignition key was turned in my truck. stop trying to justify not fixing something correctly. when the alternator charges the battery, hydrogen gas is produced. it has to go somewhere. this takes place when the engine is running, dont cut corners. the young guys on this site have no idea how to fix cars the correct way.

Show me where you didn't group all young people together.

where was the word "ALL" used??? please set the record straight Pektel!!

To be in-experienced would result from not having been taught about car repair, where I look at ignorance as you choose not to learn about car repair. Does that make sense?

ignorance would not be a compliment!

"the young guys on this site" is an implied "all." Please tell me how the phrase "all young guys on this site" would be any different. It wouldn't. "Some young guys on this site," or even "most young guys on this site" would have been different.

Do you get to make or change definition of words? At what age does this ability get granted? (Maybe I qualify for this too?)

Ignorance: The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.
It is not at all : To choose not to learn. Stupidity would be a better word for that.
I would think that someone with "common sense" would know this.

"ALL" is implied by those who want to see the word "ALL" and get their shorts all bunched up!!! if the word "ALL" is used in the sentence, than that would identify "ALL THE YOUNG GUYS"

If you would prefer, I will use the actual name of the poster, then the sensitive people won't get offended.
