So in reading the casual sex thread, I have discovered the ages of some posters to be younger than I thought. This is not a bad thing. So it just got me thinking...how old are most of the people here? Care to share? I am 21. Your turn!

15

Freaking ancient.

Twenty fucking two. I feel totally past it, older every day and more naive and ill-equipped than I did at sixteen.

I will be 22 in March, and quite frankly its starting to creep me out. What is 22? At 18 you can buy cigarettes and do "adult" things, and at 21 you can drink (woohoo!) but at 22, what is there? Its the birthday that officially says "you have nothing left to look forward to legally" or something. Maybe I am just getting paranoid. I don't know...my brain works funny. :(

22? Damn, you should be using walking sticks and wearing cardigans.

I mean, I thought 18 was old compared to some of the stuff you see over in my usual stomping ground of I.I.

Vierzehn

14

But I can be a lot more mature then most 14 yr olds you might see, well actually the so called ' 14 ' yr olds you see running around are actually 11 - 12 yr old Middle Schoolers who sag there pants to the floor and act like there pimps and bitches talking about how they love Eminem lol.


Anyways that was totally un-needed and not really relevant...

Oh ya you live in the US. At 18, I can smoke, drink and whatever else (legally anyway).

There are still things. At 55, I think, you can't be called for the army, then you become a senior citizen and can get discounts and complain about everything and stop the line at the counters. At a 100 you get a call from the president or a mention in a radio show.

I'm 33 by the way.

I don't know, probably drink to your heart's content with some friends as a birthday party, prolly get laid. Blablablablabla......


But I guess that is true, 15 you can get a Drivers Permit, 16 you can legally drive, 18 you can buy cigs ( big fucking woowhoo bidoo ), 21 you can legally drink. Hmmm wait, nope nevermind I believe that is all.

Yea in Germany, you can Drink when your 16, or around that age.

Which is quite funny, I know some ppl who would do student exchanges just to learn German and drink drink drink. To bad though, Germans only drink as a social thing, unlike us Americans. So they:

1. Look dumb and well wierd to them
2. Get booted back to America for abusing there Foreign Freedoms

ermm what else to say..heh.

Ahem! Well, to be perfectly honest, I'm 61, but my last g/f was a year younger than you. :D

Yeah, I'm UK too. Age these days only seems to amount to lower insurance premiums..

EDiT> Too? Sorry, I meant "not American too" or something..

i think if the president called me....even if i was 100, if it was for some freaky reason a clone of dubbya...I would either hang up on him, or at least say something innapropriate.

Well, being in the UK, i can now legally drink, drive, have sex, get married, do whatever the hell I like, with the exception of being a legally responsible driver in a car. For that I have to be 21, or have held a licence for 3 years.

But over here, we have serious drink problems. You get groups of 14 year old townies hanging around down the side of the youth club with a can of White Stripe pretending to be cool. Its depressing really. Bloody young people these days. Back when I was a lad....

Yeah, I'm UK too. Age these days only seems to amount to lower insurance premiums..


OH YEAH!!!! that is definitely something to look forward to!!! (my insurance is outrageous currently, ugh).

I'm 15.

Oh ya you live in the US. At 18, I can smoke, drink and whatever else (legally anyway).
One thing I never gotten is why it is thought appropriate that one can vote but not drink alcohol.

I'll be 19 in nine days, and in Australia 18 is the legal age for everything, except sex, which is 16

Your insurance is outrageous? Try over 2 grand a year. And its only a 1.4l engine car. Its crazy. They wonder why so many people are uninsured.

I'll be 19 in nine days, and in Australia 18 is the legal age for everything, except sex, which is 16

Excuse me if this makes me look like an idiot, but can you really not have sex until you are 16?

Your insurance is outrageous? Try over 2 grand a year. And its only a 1.4l engine car. Its crazy. They wonder why so many people are uninsured.

Mine is about 2000 a year...but i also just got a brand new car, and therefore have to have full coverage...i just hate shelling out the cash every month.

$2000 US right? I'm talking £2000. Which is what, nearly $4000 US? I don't know the exchange rate of the top of my head.

i think if the president called me....even if i was 100, if it was for some freaky reason a clone of dubbya...I would either hang up on him, or at least say something innapropriate.
Why? You should at least have fun with the guy. Fake deafness and dementia:

"What? What? Yes, my mom is around here somewhere... I'll go get her. Who's this? Is this Richie? Why hadn't you called?..." etc, etc.

Excuse me if this makes me look like an idiot, but can you really not have sex until you are 16?

not legally anyway, same way Americans "can't" drink till 21

15 and Guiness is good.

$2000 US right? I'm talking £2000. Which is what, nearly $4000 US? I don't know the exchange rate of the top of my head.


Yes, $2000 US. I have absolutely no idea what the exchange rate is.

Your insurance is outrageous? Try over 2 grand a year. And its only a 1.4l engine car. Its crazy. They wonder why so many people are uninsured.
Yeah dude, that's insane! Mine's about six ton at the moment, and even I feel like I'm getting ripped off.. make sure you keep your no claims man!

not legally anyway, same way Americans "can't" drink till 21


Thats just like....crazy to me...Granted, i didn't have sex until i was 17 anyway, but still. Seems like a difficult thing to control...

I turned 13 on October 5.

Yeah dude, that's insane! Mine's about six ton at the moment, and even I feel like I'm getting ripped off.. make sure you keep your no claims man!

Too right. I'm trying to get insured on a short term on a kit car I've just finished building with my dad. Suffice to say I've got no chance.They won't even insure me at any price until I'm 25.

Thats just like....crazy to me...Granted, i didn't have sex until i was 17 anyway, but still. Seems like a difficult thing to control...


well 16 is the legal age of consent, which means that if you have sex with someone under 16 they are not legally able to consent and so is considered rape, but most teenagers tend to ignore it and give into hormones

But over here, we have serious drink problems. You get groups of 14 year old townies hanging around down the side of the youth club with a can of White Stripe pretending to be cool. Its depressing really. Bloody young people these days. Back when I was a lad....
im 19 and i fuckin hate townies

Too right. I'm trying to get insured on a short term on a kit car I've just finished building with my dad. Suffice to say I've got no chance.They won't even insure me at any price until I'm 25.
Shit man. You've got somewhere to drive it?

Thats just like....crazy to me...Granted, i didn't have sex until i was 17 anyway, but still. Seems like a difficult thing to control...
Most countries have an "age of consent" below which the person is considered unfitted to consent to sex, precisely because it's such a difficult thing to control and when combined with immaturity and inexperience makes a very easy to control person.

So, if an 18 or 21 year-old (or older, of course) meets a 15 year old and "seduces" her, even though she said yes, for the law still counts as rape, since she didn't really know what she was getting into. It's what called "statutory rape". Courts tend to dismiss it when it's between people the same age or very close.

OH....i see what you are saying. Gotcha.

Townies and pikies are the bane of this country.


Shit man. You've got somewhere to drive it?

Yeah, airfields and private land but it's not the same.

Just one slight addition, that may be obvious, but only males can be charged, and as far as I'm aware, you can still be charged at 16 and 17 in the UK. But, if no one finds out, its all good.

20 in 2 weeks no fair :headbang:

Nothing to look forward to?? Theres lot's to look forward to from 22. Like, your first artificial hip. Or your first prostate(sp) problem. Alzheimer. Your funeral.

I'm 21 and now everything feels down hill. But at least alcohol will help with that. :)

14 here in the united states of assholia. will be turning 15 on december 25 (for you christians out there, yep im a xmas baby...)

and, being as i live in florida on the east coast, ive not had any sexual relations as of yet. on the west coast, those chaps are another story....bloody unfair if you ask me :eek:

I'm 21 and now everything feels down hill. But at least alcohol will help with that. :)

Three cheers for that!

So many times I've promised myself I'll slug the next mindless little shithead who screams abuse at me.

technically not true if the female is having sex with under age male it is still a lesser version of rape. People discount this as it rarely gets reported for the obvious reasons that they are going to brag instead of report it

Three cheers for that!

Cheers!

What really surprises me is the amount of people that are in the 13-14 year old range. And here I believed everyone to be between 18-28.

Thats what I was kind of thinking too. We 21 year olds need to like...I don't know...commune together or something.

So many times I've promised myself I'll slug the next mindless little shithead who screams abuse at me.

Problem is, if you do that, they'll be round in their Nova's (in the case of townies) or Transit vans (in the case of pikes), and the police will stand by, watch as you get the shit kicked out of you, then arrest you for Section 5 offences. This country has fallen apart under 'Presidente' Blair.

15, soon to be 16. Sometimes when I look back on my posts I think "Shit, I sound like a stupid 15 year old." Then I realize I am one. That sucks.

Actually, and I may remember wrong, if both partners are under 16, I think it's legal. I could easily have recalled incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere reliable.

Indeed.

I don't know what townies or pikes are. I feel left out.

I don't know what townies or pikes are. I feel left out.

Townies = abusive term for smartly dressed working class urban youths.

Pikies = abusive term for gypsies/Romanies/travelling people.

Or wait. By 30 you have become a jaded cynic who doesn't care anymore.

I have to disagree. If both are under 16, its a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. Then again, I may be wrong. We need some infallible always-correct deity on these forums.

I don't know what townies or pikes are. I feel left out.

Townies are somewhat difficult to describe. Well, to describe without being modbombed for obscene language at any rate.

http://www.chavscum.co.uk/howto.php

gives a fairly easy guide on spotting one. Suffice to say, if you walk in any direction in the middle of London for about two minutes, you'll spot some youths with caps tilted right back on their heads, speaking some incoherant language, and going by the name of Kevin or Wayne in the case of males, and Sharon or Tracy in teh case of females.


Pikey is a slang term for gypsies, most predominantly of Irish descent. I'm not going to get started on them and why they annoy me, but basically, they set up caravans wherever they like, steal whatever they want, threaten people, and the police and local councils do nothing about it.

I don't know if you would of heard of the Tony Martin case over there, but he shot dead a burglar in his house and wounded another. Both were pikeys. Before his court case, he was threatened with death by the family of the one he killed, and I honestly believe that if it weren't for media attention, he'd be dead.


But yeah, both are the utter scum of Britain.

Townies = abusive term for smartly dressed working class urban youths.


Hahahaha

If you mean burberry dressed, foul-mouthed, working class layabouts with no respect for society or the law, then I can agree with you. Especially if you also meant those who grow up to sponge off the system, and never bother to get a job because they claim benefits for "a bad back" instead.

Of course, after he was released from prison Tony Martin showed his true colours (as if there was any doubt prior to this) by supporting the BNP.

interesting

I am 17

Hahahaha

Yeah, my mistake, what you seem to be using the term 'townies' to mean, we in Northrn Ireland use the term 'spides' or 'steekies' for (shell suited youth). 'Townies' is sometimes used over here to refer to the smart-casual lager lout contingent.

So how old do people think I am? I've mentioned it a few times before I think..

Of course, after he was released from prison Tony Martin showed his true colours (as if there was any doubt prior to this) by supporting the BNP.

True colours? Ah, you're one of the 'burglars have the right to rob you, but you can't protect your own home' brigade? I'd sooner vote BNP than I would Labour. Perhaps then someone would actually do something about the state this country is in.

I am 14.

...we in Northrn Ireland use the term 'spides' or 'steekies' ...

Never heard that before. but yeah, Spides, steekies, townies, chavs, kevs, barries, waynes. Whatever you call 'em, they all need two years of National Service to sort 'em out.

True colours? Ah, you're one of the 'burglars have the right to rob you, but you can't protect your own home' brigade? I'd sooner vote BNP than I would Labour. Perhaps then someone would actually do something about the state this country is in.

No, I'm one of the 'BNP are part of the problem, not part of the solution' brigade.

Nothing to look forward to?? Theres lot's to look forward to from 22. Like, your first artificial hip. Or your first prostate(sp) problem. Alzheimer. Your funeral.
Well HARDLY!

I didn't even begin to know things until I reached about 45. I THOUGHT I knew things, but I didn't, not really. At 53, I was at my peak ... ran 10 miles every other day, worked out with weights on alternate days, began to write again and knew more about what to write about and how to write it, began to compose decent poetry, finally discovered what sex really could be like, began to understand what women really want, the list is long. :)

Never heard that before. but yeah, Spides, steekies, townies, chavs, kevs, barries, waynes. Whatever you call 'em, they all need two years of National Service to sort 'em out.


Ach, sure, 99% of them are grand when you get to know them.

Sorry...me being dumb again...but the BNP is? what?

No, I'm one of the 'BNP are part of the problem, not part of the solution' brigade.

What is it - "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll fight to the death to protect your right to say it."

The BNP has gotten itself too aligned with rascism for it to do any good, but as far as I can see, its a viable alternative when faced with more years of Labour's lying and deceit. Not to mention 'Presidente' Blair's overuse of the Parliament Act.

Sorry MK, BNP = British Nationalist Party.

I'm 17. Woot for me. :)

I'm 4 posts old.

Sorry...me being dumb again...but the BNP is? what?

British Nationalist Party: they split off from the National Front, and claim to be 'third positionists' but are basically just the same old reactionary xenophobes and fascists trying to sell themslves to the electorate by presenting a cleaner image and jumping onto whatever bandwagon is currently in the media spotlight.

Have a look at their own mission statement and make up your own mind:

"The British National Party exists to secure a future for the indigenous peoples of these islands in the North Atlantic which have been our homeland for millennia. We use the term indigenous to describe the people whose ancestors were the earliest settlers here after the last great Ice Age and which have been complemented by the historic migrations from mainland Europe. The migrations of the Celts, Anglo- Saxons, Danes, Norse and closely related kindred peoples have been, over the past few thousands years, instrumental in defining the character of our family of nations."

So how old do people think I am? I've mentioned it a few times before I think..

I have no idea and no clues to go off of. However, I will guess anyway.

25ish? 35?

Problem is, if you do that, they'll be round in their Nova's (in the case of townies) or Transit vans (in the case of pikes), and the police will stand by, watch as you get the shit kicked out of you, then arrest you for Section 5 offences. This country has fallen apart under 'Presidente' Blair.
Oh aye. Always arrest the one that won't give them the most fucking hassle, bastards. Especially bacause by then your usually ranting and bleeding everywhere, and are so relieved to see the feds you'll do whatever they fucking want. Jesus.
Actually it's only happened to me once (getting arrested afterwards I mean), but I've seen it happen several times more and there's really nothing you can do, is there. And despite the earlier post I honestly don't go round mouthing off or decking people, I mean I fucking couldn't, I'm a skinny goon :)

So how old do people think I am? I've mentioned it a few times before I think..
I am guessing that you are 18 and want to be the same age as Klonor :)

The BNP has gotten itself too aligned with rascism for it to do any good...

The fact that it was founded by John Tyndall, former chairman of the National Front, pretty much aligns it right from the get-go inescapably with racism.

Well that's the benefit of being a prop-forward on my sixth form and university rugby teams. Most people don't argue. Especially on rugby team curry nights.

Ach, sure, 99% of them are grand when you get to know them.
Yeah, but it's one big circle of misconception isn't it, one which involves us getting threatened and kicked :)

Of course, after he was released from prison Tony Martin showed his true colours (as if there was any doubt prior to this) by supporting the BNP.
Wow you mean he supported the only political party he could find in England that supported his actions in shooting a burglar?
What a shocker.

What is it - "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll fight to the death to protect your right to say it."


No, not at all, there comes a point where hurley sticks or baseball bats are the only way to respond to the people behind the BNP.

Anyways that was totally un-needed and not really relevant...

Frankly, hon, the best way to show your maturity is to act mature. There's no need to say you're mature - if you just *do* it, people will notice.

Last time I checked, I'm 17.

I am guessing that you are 18 and want to be the same age as Klonor :)

Winner!!


Actually, how old is Klonor?? Shit, I'd better find out...

Wow you mean he supported the only political party he could find in England that supported his actions in shooting a burglar?

Well said that man

Winner!!

Hes either 18 or 19 .

The same could be said of course of the Trade Unionists. Especially that leader of the firefighters union whos name has completely escaped me.

I was going to rant about how there's always someone who thinks they're harder than you, but then I saw the last bit :eek:

I responded to another age thread but here goes again.

As of the time I type this, 22 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, & approximately 16.5 hours.

Yeah. But we're all big softies really. Honest.

102.

Yeah, but it's one big circle of misconception isn't it, one which involves us getting threatened and kicked :)

Coming from Northern Ireland I come from a background of the Protestant youths getting their shit kicked in by the Fenian youths and vice-versa (or worse): of course, get them all together having a couple of pints and a couple of smokes and the tensions start to disappear.

Winner!!


Actually, how old is Klonor?? Shit, I'd better find out...

Man, I figured you would not ask unless it was really high or really low, not really medium.

I responded to another age thread but here goes again.

Meh, throws you off a bit.

lol. I thought about quoting Myrth and saying, "What? Mercury years?"

Actually, and I may remember wrong, if both partners are under 16, I think it's legal. I could easily have recalled incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere reliable.

Nope, definitely not legal in the U.S. Suffice it to say that I am getting toward my late teens.

Corrected.

Ya messed up your decimal point again...

No, it didn't, at least not to me. It just seems to me that the same anti-chav/townie/pikie sentiments are the same social phenomenon as anti-black/asian/Romanian/whatever sentiments, but in a slightly different form. Young men, by their very nature, have a tendency of being tribal and perceiving the world as us-versus-them which leads to a vilification of the other.

Almost seventeen and a half

Of course man, but surely it perpetuates itself?

I may be misreading this, but I would like to make it clear that I am by no means rascist. In the slightest. But what I do object to is people abusing and disrespecting social values in the way that townies and pikies do. And, to a certain extent, the two girls of Pakistani descent who are playing bangra music at full volume right next door could be concieved as doing. Its getting slightly annoying at 3am.

Once more, just to reitterate, I am NOT a rascist.

I'm 14, pretty mature, and don't like to brag. On a seperate note, don't people think that 33 is a lil old?

I'm 14, pretty mature, and don't like to brag. On a seperate note, don't people think that 33 is a lil old?

For what? Living? Posting on this forum?

The same question could be posed to you. Isn't 14 too young?

This forum is great because of the difference in ages.

Only from the perspective of a mere 14 years. :)

He's got the idea that only really strange adults use computers because the rest are scared shitless of how to work email or the internet, or at least thats how I'd interpret that.

Totally incorrect. :)

I never said that was my view......

I'm 24 goin on 16.... :D

33 is definitely not "too old." Too old for what? Being able to type and look at a monitor at the same time without losing their train of thought? :headbang: UGH. 33 is not "too old." One of my best friends is 31, and you would think he was in his early 20's. He is definitely not too old.

Some teenagers believe that because you weren't "raised" with computers like we were that you have to learn all this new stuff and that you'll get worried and panic and give up. Actually, its more common, sadly, than you may think.

I suspect that it has more to do with willingness to try new things and ability to learn than it does with anything else, including age.

Hell, I was hardly 'raised' on computers, and I'm 18. I still remember the old BBCs and Apple computers from Primary school. Didn't get internet access until about four years ago. But that might have something to do with living out in the Fens...

You lost me there, are you explaining why we think what we do, or why we shouldn't? I'm sorry, it's been a long day.

I may be misreading this, but I would like to make it clear that I am by no means rascist.

No, I wasn't aiming these comments at you: instead they were harking back to discussion of the BNP and their racist policies.

old enough to know better young enough not to give a flying fuck

AKA 15 (16 as of 12/26)

maybe anyone who cares how old the forum people are is on the younger side...
possibly people don't want to be reminded that they are older so they aren't even clicking on the link.
Also, the youngin's are probably the ones with the most time on their hands.

23... and fun only ends after 21 if you let it. ;)
Don't be afraid of turning 22 or any age there after

19 years of age.

And I'm in college.

College sucks!

Willingness to try new things and to learn are no respector of persons, gender, race, or age. As a matter of fact, studies have pretty conclusively shown that those who continue to learn as they grow older are less likely to have alzheimer's and loss of mental agility.

Better?? :)

19 years of age.

And I'm in college.

College sucks!

I too am 19 blood-soaked years old.

And no, college does not suck, its wonderful :)

I never said I cared...I was just curious what kinds of people were on here, and have found most of the respondents to be younger teenagers. And you can tell they are younger teenagers because they say things like "Seventeen and a half." or "16 next month."

Things like this just amuse me to see how people respond (good old sociology kicking in). But hooray for you for being in my age range!!! And I don't intend on letting my fun stop for a long long long time!!! :)

College was the best!!! Thats where I met most of my best friends and learned how to do a kegstand!!!

I'm 14, pretty mature, and don't like to brag. On a seperate note, don't people think that 33 is a lil old?
Sure, but only if you want to make it into the Bolshoi as a dancer. Other than that, not at all.

17. Old enough to legally see an R rated movie. Whoopee. I'm such a dork.

All through my high school years I've been waiting to get the hell out of the place, but now that I'm a senior, I have this weird not wanting to leave feeling. Very odd.

I'm not sure if yas wanted to know my exact age, the age I was on my last birthday(:rolleyes:this way of tellling age is inaccurate, lacks logic and annoys me.), or the age resulting from my exact age being rounded to the nearest whole number. The age I was on my last birthday was 13 years. ( My exact age is 13.98630136 years(reapeating bar over .98630136) Fianlly, 13.98630136 can be rounded to 14 years.

turn 20 on Dec 15.......god I'm old....

20 is not old. Just think-almost 21!!!

And to Mr. I'm 13.9 whatever. Please see my above point about how you can tell the younger teenagers are there age because they make a big deal about EXACTLY how old they are. I'm not picking on you, but you sure did prove my point.

Actually, it went more along the lines of partying a little TOO much and flunking out and losing my scholarship (my parents are proud, trust me). Anyway, ended up getting a 2 yr degree, and i plan on going back to school in the future. But right now i am working, and enjoying being 21.

You enjoy that...because before you know it, your hangovers start to get really bad.

*cracks open a high life*

I found the same thing about some of the posters being a lot younger than I thought. I've also found some posters who are a lot OLDER than I thought.

Anyway, I'm 31.

Whats really weird, speaking of hangovers....I drink basically just on the weekends, because i work at night (look, see, i am working really hard!!! i love my job!), and then go to sleep when i get home. But the last few times I have gone out, gotten wrecked, came home, gone to bed at like 3 or 4am, I have woken up at like 7:30 am, and can not go back to sleep. It is the weirdest thing. Started halloween weekend, and has happened every time i have drank since then.

And to Mr. I'm 13.9 whatever.

I'm a girl biotch :p

I've had the same problem actually. I can't sleep for more than 3-4 hours or so at a time.

I've been sleeping from 1am - 5am or so. It's driving me nuts.

Bars open till 3 there? Must be nice.

Open till 2...but some states are different.

I go to bed at like 3 or 4am usually (I work till 12), and I get up usually around noon. Earlier if I have stuff to do, later if I am really tired. I don't come to work until 4, so yeah. Its just so weird, cuz my body is used to sleeping till noon, but if i drink, i wake up at 7am. I don't get it.

i probably am the only civilized 13 year old in the whole school! everyone in there is acting like this: :fluffle:

im so angry that i could do this! :sniper: haha! still, i seem to be the only middle schooler in my town with reason other than making out

Maybe you aren't drinking enough. Because this happens to me only on the weekdays. My advice to you: start drinking heavily.

Mmmm...drinking heavily....I do have a bottle of captain in the freezer i could get into. MMMMMM.

Bars are too expensive and they close at 2. All the good deals are on Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe I should go on those nights.

Aside from beer, I just have everclear. Best to avoid that, since I have a presentation tomorrow. What do you do that causes you to work till 12?

don't be a hater man.

They are too expensive...went downtown to the bars last weekend...probably blew over 100 bucks between me and my b/f. Some places have good deals on the weekends, you just have to know where and when to go. The place I go on saturday nights has 2 for 1's from 10-12. :)

Hahahaha....I could tell you....but the economy of our country could crumble if I did that. Hahaha.....um, I work for a very large company that has its world headquarters here in Minneapolis. I sit at a desk and check people in and out of a secure area. Usually one or two people a night.....so otherwise I just play on the internet. :)

Jesus. I go to one place that has $1 32oz glasses and another with $4 pitchers of high-life. Can't go wrong.

But $100 between two people isn't too unreasonable if you're getting mixed drinks.

By the way, all this talking about drinking booze has made me thirsty. Now I need a drink...

EDIT:crap. we have nothing.

Dammit. Matter transporter is acting up again. Well, more for me.

Ahem! Well, to be perfectly honest, I'm 61, but my last g/f was a year younger than you. :D

Meaning you're a creepy old perv, you've been living on masturbation for forty years, or you married her so she's no longer "girlfriend"?

J'ai quatorze ans!

I'm 20. Maybe there should be some sort of poll so we know the number of teens, 20s, 30s, etc? I will make a new thread for that. ;)

Everyone must be too busy drinking now to post anymore. I feel left out. (DAMN YOU WORK!!!) Oh well. Only like 15 more minutes!!!

ok mistress kimberly ill post here too! haha

Im 16

I'm 17, I feel average :(

i feel young :(... all you people are in your 20s it seems

No way.....half the people who responded to this were like 13, 14, 15....kinda disturbing. I thought it was going to be more twentysomethings.

Ok...I am proud of myself...I have made one of the more popular threads of the night, and managed to occupy myself with it through most of my work shift (hooray!) but I am outta here shortly, so if i don't post again tonight, thanks to all of you that did!!!

haha i guess us kids our interested in politics too, even if we cant vote! oh well

It should even out over night. There will be the international crowd in soon.

Oh, and if you are interested, there was a break-off poll called How Old Are You, if you want more of a look at the age groups.

Yeah...but i am going home to make a captain coke. keep everyone in line for me!

26 year old guy here....sometimes I act 13 yet sometimes I feel 90, so, ya never know what you will get with me......Insanity is just a way of life.

18 ^.^

Well, I'm 17, going on 3, apparently ("...and I found a new My Little Pony today! Yeeeee! Andandand I've ingested about a ton of raw sugar! *dances*..."). I don't know how the cynicism and death plots fit in... guess I'm just a really warped three year old...

Actually, and I may remember wrong, if both partners are under 16, I think it's legal. I could easily have recalled incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere reliable.

I have to disagree. If both are under 16, its a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. Then again, I may be wrong. We need some infallible always-correct deity on these forums.

As long as there are only two years or less difference between partners under 16, it's not statutary rape, according to those 'Am I Old Enough' booklets we got given as part of our school's big "we know you're screwing, drinking and doing drugs anyway, but we want to make you feel guilty about it" initiative.

Apparently, you can also get married if you're under the age of 16 as long as you have parental consent. I find this amusing.

Meaning you're a creepy old perv, you've been living on masturbation for forty years, or you married her so she's no longer "girlfriend"?

J'ai quatorze ans!
How about "none of the above?" :)

It should even out over night. There will be the international crowd in soon.


hah, I'm the 'international crowd' now?

Dream on.

31 and a half :) Although I do seem to get more childish with every year now so sooner or later my mental age might implode.

I don't really see why you'd want to know my age.

All I'll say is that I'm old enough.

Twenty-two

I'll keep my age to myself, but you can guess.

14, AND DON'T CALL ME A F*CKIN' BABY EITHER!! Scuse me.

im 21 and now have no good milestones left till im 25 and insurance drops,

I'm twenty-five.
I feel like I have a ton of milestones to look forward to. So much can still hapen to me. On the other hand, when i had sex for the first time I thought I was going to die within an hour (raised catholic) so maybe I just value life. ;-)

16 :)

XVI years old.

18, and I have no time to think of an interesting way to say that. ;)

Old enough to be Cambridge's dad. Now get back to studying...

Dang....I'm 30, which sounds old as hell in comparison to the majority here. On a positive note, I keep reading stuff and hearing that women hit their sexual prime about this time- so yay for me! My car insurance is also getting less expensive, so double yay for me!

I think I totally misspelled his name.

I'm 44.

Well,
I can see its loads of english speaking people here(not wery strange since this site is in english,) but Im from Norway, and Im (only) 18.
Alowed to drive/smoke/drink/get married/have sex(16here as well) but not alowed to buy spirits. in norway pirits and vine is only sold at special stores called the vinemonopoly, and it is extremely expensive. for about 20$ you can get a botle of vine, and spirits are even more expensive. Thats wy so many people in norway make their own spirits, although its not leagal ofcourse... :D

I am older than some, but not younger than most.

I'm 18.71506884932 today

vine = wine?

I hear you, I'm pretty much in the moonshine capital of America.

Are you saying you can't have sex until you're 16? Is that a law?

Excuse me if this makes me look like an idiot, but can you really not have sex until you are 16?
I would think anything lower would be sex with a minor or something like that. Technically in Illinois fornication is still a crime but I don't think it has ever actually been brought to course in the last 30 years at least.

Oh, and I'm 19.

I've just turned 30 and have already started using phrases like 'kids of today'. :-(

21...with all that entails... :D

23, with all the entrails.

In Finland it doesn't matter how old U R if U wanna drink...
30 something and getting older every minute. :headbang:

Haha, I'm only 15..
World laws eh, great talking topic.

reply 15

i can't really imagine being 18

Soon U can't imagine that U have ever been 18...

jes, in Norway your not alowed to have sex untill you are 16, exept if both you and your partner are between 14 and 16, then its okay, not that anyone cares though...


(and, my mistake, vine=wine)

LOL

It's scary. I remember 18 vivdly. When I was 18, I was convinced I wouldn't live to see 30. I couldn't imagine it.

Now I'm staring 40 in the face and wondering where all the years went. I kinda feel the years sometimes... but not too often. I haven't really aged too much to look at, but I can see an unwilling maturity that has come since then. LOL

I look at a 25 year old and think "kid" now. Kinda freaks me out to realize that a lot of people I game with in AO were born after I graduated high school.

And now every so often, I have the detatched and vaguely curious thought "wonder if I'm going to make it to 60... prolly not..."

Funniest thing is, issues that were confusing at 18 aren't much clearer at 39, except the ones that resolved themselves with age and social progression. No matter how old you get, there will always be bullies, popularity contests, shallow and stupid people, familial conflicts and friends who pressure you to do stupid things. The only thing that seems to change is setting, priorities and consequences for failure... and your point of view on all of it. Aside from that, it's all a matter of scale and velocity.

i'm 16

33 is definitely not "too old." Too old for what? Being able to type and look at a monitor at the same time without losing their train of thought? :headbang: UGH. 33 is not "too old." One of my best friends is 31, and you would think he was in his early 20's. He is definitely not too old.
Well, I am 24 and my partner is 35 and I don't concider her old at all. In fact I feel like the old one in the relationship.

reply 15

i can't really imagine being 18
it's just like being 15, but you can drive a car and you're bigger

I'm gonna be 17 in 3 months or so, and i'm in britain so that means nothing special anymore. wooooo
