s.

Nowadays of course I am trying to practice having more patience in taking up the elder's end of that teaching role
how old are you?

sigh because I can't go to bars and get drunk yet.
I have to do it at home or at friends parties.
-shrug-

tsk tsk. did i tell you i work for the fbi? i would bring out the preacher in me if i thought it would help ( im southern baptist so you are lucky!) but this seems to be the norm these days :(
 
On topic, Im 18, so under Australian law Im legal to drink and smoke (only do the former, and only on occasion).
 
What exactly makes this a bad topic? I wanted to do a few more like it (ie are you gay and what is your gender are those bad too?).

Nothing wrong with the topic per se. It's possible because of the falloff in original postings after awhile, and your frequent return posts to reply to comments that the provocateurs (like myself) are making, the moderators might decide the whole thread is an attempt by you, with assistance from us, to jack up your post count.

If they wasteland the thing, then your post count gain is lost, likewise if someone politicizes this thing enough to end up in PRSI forum. Posts there are not counted either since not everyone can post in there so it's not fair to count them.

On the idea of more polls: well not everyone who is gay is out, so that seems doomed right there. And male or female, not everyone might wish to reveal gender in a forum like this where there (presumably, or maybe I should say apparently) there are so many more men than women. Because I started working in IT back in the 60s when there were practically no women, I got used to what it can be like even now, so it never occurred to me to use a moniker that would disguise my gender. What I sometimes wonder is how many guys are here using women's names, but that's definitely a different thread so mods please ignore that remark...

Good luck with the the thread, try not to remark on every last post someone puts up here...

I feel yours needs a response.
1. my posting to everything people say is just who i am but i really like this thread so far so ill stop for a while
2. polls: im not gay but if i were i would at least be enough out with it to tell people on an anonymous poll
3:same with gender
 
I just don't like when the kiddies feel the need to state their age with everything.


"I got a new macbook pro... and i'm 16".

Why should I care about your age?


i also voted :)
 
A slightly disturbing poll result, but it explains a lot about how this forum is lately. GAH, the punkasskids take over! :p




BTW, appleguy123 (and others/anyone who doesn't know) there is a feature here called "multi-quote" where, as the name implies, you can quote multiple posts without making multiple and consecutive posts.

For each post you want to quote/reply to, click this:
multiquote_off.gif
and it turns to this:
multiquote_on.gif
When you are done selecting all those, click Post Reply (bottom left) and those post quotes will all be in your reply box in one tidy post. ;)

I never knew that. See? That's why you're a Demi God.
 
Ah hem, Demi-Goddess. ;)

Melrose: Almost 3,500 posts and you never wondered what that button was? :p

Line 1: The Blue Lebowski can take it, I think... but, yes. I stand corrected.

Line 2: I never noticed it before, or saw it once and it was too confusing to master. I forget..
 
16-21? Why group us 21 year olds with the 16 year olds?

Yeah, I'm not loving that - I'm 20

No need, (im 16) but what does it taste like and do you actual like the taste or is it just to get drunk?


It was 16-18 and 19-21 but people complained...

Just can't win can you? I prefer your previous set up. And beer tastes like crap. And drinking just to get drunk is silly, when you can drink something great and enjoy it as well.
