Holy. Fucking. Shit. Some of you are OLDER than my parents.

If you think we are too old, maybe another forum would suit you better.
Nope, i expect most to be in their 20s, not 40s and you guys need some fresh blood to be down with the current lingo and shit.
I'm surprised as to WHY the hell are you guys on a forum arguing about everything? If someone can provide me with a reason as to why....
And this site beats being a creepy pedophile on chatroullete, at least you're being somewhat productive.
I have enough young blood in my life to know the lingo. Though, Ive got a few months left of my 20s to go.
The internet is made up of people of all ages, so no one should be surprised that there are older adults in a forum like this. Especially given that the posting style here reflects that.
EDIT: There are people who argue, but many like to simply discuss. There are the few whiners that take over good threads, but I guess they entertain some people because they haven't been banned just yet. To each his own. If this forum isn't to your liking, I'm sure you'll find another one to post in.
Well, let's see.
A. I'm nowhere near 40.
B. I have two children, not like I can go out every night.
C. Boredom sucks.
D. I like to argue with intelligent people, sometimes.
E. The interwebs aren't just for children.
F. This is the only place I've been today where I haven't had a random stranger hit on me.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
You're not the only teen on this site. I can think of at least 2 others. They just happen to not be obnoxious.
Hope is the denial of reality
How odd. Why would forums be the playground of teens only?
Don't you think us folk in our twenties, thirties, forties and fifties like to banter about all things serious and not so serious, with other folk in their twenties, thirties, forties and fifties around the globe?

Why? Reasons why?
Atari CC has always been a melting pot of fascinating people from a plethora of places, backgrounds and cultures, as I'm sure many other adult forums are.
I have learnt some wonderful facts and insights there, and now here. We have some remarkable people. A lot of intelligence, a lot of wit, a lot of sarcasm and cynicism, a lot of humour ...
... outrageous opinions, long and complicated debates, bizarre flame wars and hilarious mud-slinging insults, grudges played out over time ...
... watching long-time members' lifestories develop, relationships, loves, break-ups, divorces, sex-lives, childbirth, careers forming and breaking, courses and universities attended ...
... discussing banal day-to-day stuff, gauging others' thoughts and opinions on matters large and small, talking about hobbies, sports, bands, books, music, movies, art ...
How incredible that we have this daily cooking pot of such differing lives from countries all over the place able to converse with such ease.
Most of all though, I frequently smile and often laugh at the posts people make here. It is a joy to be part of a long-term community filled with so many familiar people. Many of us have been members for 10 years. That is a long time for any online grouping.
Why do you think we went to the lengths we did to create this place once Atari CC was overrun then shut down? Why wouldn't we want this?
You strange little fella.
Timmo, you summed it up nicely. It nearly brought a tear to my eye!
If stranger hit on you, you must be attractive. How can someone manage to be attractive after going through childbirth? TWICE.
Name them. I'd like to talk to them. Maybe you're just jealous i live a carefree life?
and Timbuk, that was all I needed, a simple explanation andcooltouching storybro.
How is that trolling? Or how is that being stupid?
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I think it deserves stupid points, myself.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
Now now, should i be the one worried about my looks/weight?
How are you defining 'near?'
Stupid. Or just being a 16 year old. There's often no difference.
How's that being stupid? Seriously?
No. Trolling is with intent. He doesn't appear to even recognize a. how offensive his question was and b. how clueless it was. Its like murder, without intent its just mansalughter.

OG - you're like Ogre: Ugly as hell but still manage to score an attractive woman. In his case, he's got personality. How did you do it?

I make awesome babies.
I'm not stupid I guess? Stable life, good financies considering it all.
The winner is that I never grew up, so I'm a package of unpredictable fun without the bar lifestyle common at my age, yet still cheesy romantic.
Our 2 year anniversary is this week. So I had reddit members from around the world texting her throughout the day yesterday so that Brandy would know that the world knows I love her.
For the most part that went pretty well, even after it was passed onto 4chan.
All by yourself? Wow, you are a stud.
I guess that's 'romantic' to some people. Nice thought at least. Wonder what she has planned for you......I'm not stupid I guess? Stable life, good financies considering it all.

I corrected it to texting. No one actually called, which was a nice surprise. Lots of meme references she needed explained, but most of the messages were light hearted and supportive of what I was aiming at.
The reddit thread, the timing was bad considering that the community went apeshit over what they incorrectly thought was someone faking cancer the day before, but she ended up with a little under a hundred messages.
She spent a good deal of time tracking down and recreating my SNES collection.
You sure do love your reddit and digg. Oh, and Brandy too apparently.This is akin to dousing yourself in gasoline and walking through a Zippo factory.
(I'd have killed you for doing that if I was your partner, btw. )
