So if some racist comments are being made then its automatically children, now THATS racist.

O.T. I'm 14, though [suprisingly] very mature for my age.
no that,s discrimination.
and it isn,t really mature to say for youreself you are mature.

at 14 you might know alot of things, and be kinda wise about some things.
but that doesn,t mean youre mature.

but don,t take it from me,i,m 16 (nothing better then 14).
How bought the fact that I think Sex jokes are just stupid and not even funny, or that I dont look at any hot girl and instantly think sex.

And I'm also wise in many things, its just no one wants to listen.

you should have put the poll to be 13-19, 20-24, 24-30. the closer you get to the center of the bell curve, the smaller gaps you want for collecting said data.

I know it isn't ideal spacing but I specifically wanted 1-12 (preteen) and 13-17 (teen) age groups separate from any adult categories. I wasn't too worried about collecting a definitive statistical average. I haven't even sat down and worked it out yet.

Don't worry about it- in every forum, (or in every social meeting place, such as school, work or etc.), chances are that you will get at least one attenion seeker. Some people just feel an unquenchable urge to be the focus of everyone's attention, no matter what they have to do to get it. However, they could also just simply be idiots. By the way, I am 15.

I thought you were in your late 20s early 30s from what I've seen of your posts. o3o

I'm turned 21 at the end of June. I have my moments of maturity and immaturity... and I've seen plenty of immaturity on this board but really I just don't care. I've been around the net for nine years. Nothing really phases me anymore. xD

I agree, I've not seen any racist/homophobic comments on The Escapist, unlike other forums I've visited.

Also, I'm 14. People usually say I'm mentally older. I guess I'll believe them...4 nao atleast lol.

I am nineteen, my good sir.
I don't see as much immature behavior on this site (maybe because I don't visit many threads), but other forums that I've been to are way worse. At least most people here spell correctly.

Oh bloody hell, it's fucking Newgrounds.
Theres a distinct lack of intolerance, cock jokes, elitism and hentai. Theres plenty of unsubstantiated claims though.
Er, have you ever seen an episode of Zero Punctuation? :p Cockjokes aplenty.
Elitism, you can probably find, and i'm sure Hentai has been discussed, a few issues back - the Custom-woman hentai sex game?

I thought that this was going to be predominantly 18-24 but that got blown out of the water. Depressing.
Seconded. Bloody kids.

Yes, however 18 is considered the year of entry into adulthood in most countries.

I always loved the idea of claiming trollish activity. ITs such a get out of jail free card. I'm not an idiot, I was trolling. My ideas aren't stupid or based on fairy tales, I was trolling. I'm not a loser who doesent understand how to communicate tolerably, I'm a troll.

In response to your topic; these forums are, in my opinion, set to a higher standard of discussion and harshly moderated. The idea that you would associate age to what you belive to be the correct trails of thought and maturity goes to show how foolish and narrow sighted you are. Overall I fail to see what makes you so special that you would purposefully, or idiotically strike up a flame war whilst complaining of flames.
I should probably ignore this as a flame but in case anyone else wants to repeat it:

1) Age does not necessarily dictate intelligence and maturity, any more than the country of your birth dictates your religion or primary language. However when dealing with statistics you are talking about significant numbers rather than absolutes. Most creatures on this planet fly (because most creatures are insects), but that doesn't mean I expect all my friends to.

2) People visit a thread when it is busy. Threads are busy when people like yourself post things to them, for whatever reason. Troll posting in a normal thread is just egocentric rudeness. In a poll thread however it is a perfectly legitimate tactic. I slightly overstated the case because I wanted to stir some interest. I have qualified it since because I didn't really want to cause offence.

3) Age does confer one thing that children cannot have: Experience. Every 40 year old in the world cringes at the memory of things they said or did when they were 20. Every 60 year old does so about when they were 40. You don't have the perspective to imagine what it's like to be mature when you haven't lived, any more than you can imagine what it's like to be a squirrel.

The things that I find ugly on this site are the religious and political opinions that are here expressed. Such things are not moderated because they are widely held. I wanted to know if they were representative of the adult population (mainly of the US) or just the teenage one. The fact that it's just the teenage one reassures me a little that you perhaps have time to change your mind and not see things in such a black and white way.

And for the record, I think there is a little too much moderation on this site.
