Would it not just make more sense to bear the horrors that come with having 19s in your age bracket, and post your actual age to clarify? Come on, how insulting do you want to be? Disgusted to be grouped with teenagers?Geoffrey42 said:
My actual age, 24, wasn't really relevant to my bracket comment, only to my dislike of being grouped with 19 year olds. In addition, my "disgust" was sarcastic (I generally enjoy the company of the 19 year olds I meet these days, if only because they're typically filtered through my 21 year old friends, or through places like the Escapist which attract quality), while my bracket critique was quite sincere.Singing Gremlin said:

Damm, not likely somebody will be mine. Hard to find 2968 Yr' olds these days.
Woo, 15 truning 16
I remember a few years back, when I thought there were only children and teenagers on the net.
I mean, looking at all the deranged theories out there, and all the insanely stupid comments there could be no other way - right?
It came as a huge shock to me when many of the authors of those comments came forth and claimed to be parents, and to have a job and a house. Judging from what they wrote I would never trust them with more than 10$, much less a child and even less than that, a vote.
What I am trying to say here is that not only teenagers are deranged. A significant amount of the grown-ups act mindnumbingly stupid and show little to no trace of an independent mind. It was the internet which made me lose all respect for authorities.
(That, and old people. Old people always do something stupid - it's like it's in their genes or something).
Hah! Wait until you go to register a game and find out the year-of-birth slider doesn't go all the way back to yours. Now THAT is cold.Geoffrey42 said:
Best to get that first failed marriage out of the way fast, that's what I did. Luckily no kids, kids mean this person is in your life for the REST of your life. I actually get along with my ex just fine, but I wouldn't want to see her every week.Darth Mobius said:
As far as losing a spouse or lover to another, my philosophy is they did you a favor. If someone CAN be stolen, then they weren't true to begin with. And your ex-wife's husband should know that the old adage - when a man marries his mistress, that creates a vacancy in that position - applies to women as well.
You have truly had a rough time, and I hope blessings come into your life. I'll say a prayer for you.Evilbunny said:
Actually you might be able to walk again - they are making wonderful strides in prosthetics, in no small part due to the number of amputations caused by the war in Iraq. Many upper-leg amputees are actually staying in the army and functioning perfectly well. Freddie Franks, commander of a large part of the coalition forces in the first Gulf War to free Kuwait, is an amputee (BK) due to an injury sustained in Viet Nam.
You can still have and enjoy children if you wish, just not biological children. Mine are step-children, and I have a good friend who has adopted two beautiful Chinese orphans from religious beliefs rather than medical necessity. Trust me, they are functionally the same as your biological children.
Just getting around to reading most of this thread, and this is priceless. Sometimes (preferably when you're single!) you meet someone who seems so wonderful that you can't believe they're on the market. Then you get to know them and say "Oh, right."mshcherbatskaya said:
That's really sad, on the part of the registration apps' designer's side. Then again, I typically lie about my DOB on anything that shouldn't've been asking for it in the first place. If they didn't have my year, it makes it even easier.werepossum said:
On that topic: who thinks age gates are a complete waste of energy?
