So I recently came back from a trip to my local public libary, which now has a room completely devoted to computers. the books that used to occupy that room are now either cramed into the other rooms or are being sold out of the libary basement by an old women with one normal eye and one milky white one. she creeeps the hell out of me but I digress...

while I was there I visited the room with the computers, two of which have the library database on them (so you can search for books), while I was there I noticed a group of middle school age boys crowded around one of the computers and laughing amongst themselves. Seeing as I have the feline killing curiosity that has lead to lesser men being granted Darwin awards I walked over to see what they were looking at.

it wasn't porn, but there were some topless ladies in the video that they were watching. Apparently it was good enough that they weren?t that aware of their surroundings, and so I was able to walk up behind them without being detected.

I gave a little cough to get their attention...

but the reason for this post is not to discuss the hormonal rages of pubescent school boys. It is about videos or sites that ask you to verify your age before you can watch/enter them. I am reasonably sure that the video the kids were watching had a disclaimer or was on a site that required you to state your age.

So the question is?

Do you truthful give your age when a website or video requires it to view their content?

This really only applies to people under 18, 16, 17, whenever the cut off age is for one of these videos

If your old enough now, did you tell a little white lie when you were younger and fudge your age?

And what was the craziest thing you have ever watched that was behind a "please state your age screen"

This question does not just apply to people watching pornographic videos; I have noticed that a number of videogame trailers on the G4 website require are verification.

I'm 21 so it doesn't matter anyway, I'm already way over the legal age for prettymuch everything.

I didn't before I was 18, I do now that I'm over 18.

Weird that, ain't it?

Turned 18 this year.
From 16 onwards, I always said I was old enough.
It hasn't scarred me in anyway.

Lol. I'm going to get a fake ID once I get my license. I'm 15 (going onto 16 soon) and if I don't shave for about 2 weeks, I look like I'm 23. Any tips for when I'm buying alcohol and cigarettes?

I don't trust the internet for anything.
I almost never tell the truth.
Thus, whenever asked, I always lie.
Even if I am (possibly... see what I did there?) over the needed age.
But really, the only times I need to do that (ie, the only things I look up with an age verification) is when I want to look at certain video game trailers, or certain music videos.

Mini-rant: I'm sorry, but how come certain Lordi videos need you to be over 18? It's ridiculous. They're not even that bad, anyway. I mean, they dress up as monsters. Yes, they say *****. Yes, they always look like they're going to eat you. But really? Their music videos really aren't that bad. I mean, honestly. Overly sensitive people should not have access to the 'report' button on youtube. The video in question did not need age verification.

Being that I'm 22 I don't have to worry. Until they invent ultra-porn.
Haha, ultra-porn. What does that entail? As for the thread question, the reason I'm here, yes I have lied. I'm 16 now so figure that one out. Also, it's retardedly easy.

I do remember when the internet was invented, well... at least when it was finally embraced/available by the public, I think I was like 8 or 9. Those were the days, dial up, pentium 1 processor, the original Doom, free pronography being provided and not yet realized by those who would keep it from us. You know when people were free... in the days or lore.

OT: I usually lie and just change the year, not bothering with the month or day. It's just quicker.

Those age "verification" pop up boxes are just plain annoying. I NEVER put my real age in there (I'm 19). I simply pick whatever options will get me to my video the fastest...which on most sites makes my birthday January 1 19xx

No, because I'm under 18. Even when I'm legally an adult I won't be honest since I just want it to let me watch the video.

I've always lied... I hate lying but if I have to be 18 to get onto the Fallout 3 website then I just might have stretched the truth. I actually made a little vow to myself that whenever anyone asked my age I would say 15 until I actually turned 15 and when I turn 15 that I would start using my real age. This was when I was about 10 years old and playing Call of Duty and Maple Story online. Not like in any creepy chat rooms or anything. But yeah now I actually am 15 and now I wish I was somewhat older...

But yeah I'm a pretty bad liar. My parents aren't neglectful, I'm just sneaky.
