ok, this is a forum that you dont need to answer on except perhaps how dumb you think this question is. the poll question is simple: when using an internet site and asked "are you over 18?" do you answer truthfully? i guess if you are already over 18, you dont need to answer this

I say I'm under 18 just so I can get the "Scolding" message to pop up.

Who answers those things truthfully when the best things on the web are aailable to you when you click that you are over 18?

Answer truthfully? No I did not. I say did because now I'm old enough to get past those.

I cannot abide censorship, and banning information based on age, with absolutely no evidence that the information is in any way harmful, is both censorship and age discrimination.

Why lie when you can interpret the truth to suit your needs?

Question: Are you over 18?

Answer: Months? Sure!

ok, a bit more specific: Are you over 18 years of age?

Answer: the molecules that compose my body have been in existence since the dawn of time, so yes, I'm well over 18 years of age.

Nah, I didn't tell the truth always when I was under 18... but I did reconsider whether I wanted to visit the site... I'm a female and porn has never interested me in the least, so I just tried to determine if it was actually porn or if the person just didn't want to get sued. Usually I just took it as a sigh I didn't really want to see it after all.

Considering I'm of age, there is no need for me to lie about it unless I don't really want to be on that website in the first place.

common, it's a private poll, there's no reason to find the loop holes

Polls seems a bit flawed.

Those who voted yes are probably 18 or older and therefore will answer truthfully.
Those who voted no are probably under 18 and therefore lie.

ok. I can't lie about my age, when I try to people just know. They don't even have to look at me. The best I can do is take the 5th.

anyway, when I was under 18, I lied like a dog. Now? no reason to lie...unless....

No. Never felt any reason to lie about my age or anything else... not when the truth is so much more interesting. If anything, my lack of "tact" (not telling 'white lies') is more a problem than about anything.

The closest I come to lying is in strategically witholding information.

I am 40. I guess it would be kind of silly for me to tell people I was under 18.

For me, this issue has never really come up. And it doesn't matter now as I've turned 18 already. But yes, if somehow it still applied, I would be truthful about it.

It depends. If I can sign up for a site using my real age, then I'm honest. But if I have to be 18, I'll lie. Sometimes I'll even claim to be 150.

just dont answer the poll if you are currently over 18. i think that's y there are so many "yes" answers, cause ppl that are over 18 are answering.

No, I am not 18.

That would be lying.

I don't, I say yes, I am 18

Before that, if asked, it depended on what situation. If it meant that I couldn't do something, I'd usually say, yes, I am over 18.

However, with ID cards, saying that you're over 18 when you're not is bound to get you into trouble. In fact, ID cards are good at getting people tell you the truth.
