Instead of responding with a simple-minded comment, why don't you actually elaborate on why you think my solution to CTOAN's problem is stupid? He obviously hates society, so I gave him a solution to his problem. It's either that or he becomes president and changes everything. But seeing as how he hates school, I doubt this is going to happen.

Honestly, do you really expect me to take you seriously when you respond with "this is stupid" to one sentence of a long, thought out post?

I don't think he hates society, he just doesn't understand it.

Eveyrone ignore him until he turns 17 and stops being a rebellious teenager. seriously, back when I was 15, I hated being lumped into the same category of deadhead, miscreants. But despite what I thought, I wasn't. I never was 'stereotyped' as a hoodlum or anything, and you, TC, shouldn't unless you did something to deserve it. The law recognizes 18 as that "magical" number as you put it, because on average, that's when a typical person is just about fully matured, including mentally. Is everyone below 18 immature? no. Is everyone older than 18 perfectly adult-like? No. it's just an arbitrary generalization, though necessary. They can't exactly introduce a test that everyone takes when they want to legally be declared an adult. It just wouldn't work.

Vid probably felt the same way when you were bashing homosexuals.

I did.

I'm pretty sure out of all the people who hated CTOAN at the time, I harbored the most hate for him.

BUT, I still always said in the back of my mind "He's young, and doesn't know better."

I feel this thread is the same exact case with him.

Personally, I respected the fact that I was a minor, and didn't really feel much need to get a job, be outside past a certain time, etc. etc., but I didn't really feel much different when I turned this "magical age". Sure, now I can legally look at porn sites, register to vote for our next U.S. President, and sign legal documents in my own name and not under my parents', but I'm still the same guy I always was.

CTOAN: Just wait is what I have to say. Things and opportunities will just open up when you legally become an adult in the government's eyes. You're really hating on things for no good reason. What you're really doing is just trying to force yourself to grow up. Don't.</Holden Caulfield> You're almost there, just try to hold together a bit longer. Be content with your age and place in society in the process.

NOTE: Don't expect me to post regularly after this. Seeing as leaving the forum completely proves difficult, I've been slowly weaning myself from it, lurking less and less each day, to lurking every other day, and so on, until, eventually, I just forget about it.

NOTE 2: I absolutely HATE The Catcher in the Rye.

Did you mean to make this post in The ANGST Thread, but hit New Topic by accident? That's how this topic sounds.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Why is Vid quoting a book he hates? (Undeservingly, I would say.)
That was a joke.

When you're how you say "lurking" so much, I find it hard to take you seriously, Vid.

Then don't. I honestly don't care if you take me seriously or not, since you're over the internet and all. I return out of habit, despite the fact that this board is no longer in my bookmarks (GayGamer's forum is currently in its former spot), and like anything you've grown accustomed to for years (remember I've been a member of this forum since 2001), just going cold turkey won't work. I'm currently down to visiting this place once a day, for a few minutes.

I thought what I had typed sounded kinda like what the main character of that awful book usually says or thinks, so I added that HTML tag. Personal opinion, Chup. Don't like it? Sorry, that's just me.

LOL

Hey, I'm not going to get into the whole CrzyFlmngMnkyHead (man, can't spell that with copy-paste either...) hate-debate/lurking Vidgmchtr debate, but I'll just say that most of the teens I know certainly don't deserve most of those rights. And why does it matter, anyway? These laws/rules against under-18/21-year-olds are like Prohibition laws--they're all just white noise. Kids shoot guns, smoke weed, look at porn, and get pregnant all the same if they really want to. And they hardly ever get in trouble!

There was an article in Time once by a guy with an awesome suggestion: In the future, formulate some sort of test(s)--an almagamation of an IQ test, driver's test, and all other manner of important quizzes--to determine one's age-based rights. Pass the test(s), and you'd be able to drink, drive, and/or have sex no matter what your age (of course, your rights could be revoked).

I'm going to start using "pedophobia" in my everyday conversation.
I have a pedometer--it tells me how many children are nearby within a circular vicinity of 500 yards.

ShadowBrain, ped means feet, while ometer is tacked on to "measure feet [steps]."
