POLL - age distribution in this forum

Is it wrong that I saw a cyclist get run over once and felt nothing apart from wanting to tell her that she should look before pulling out in front of a car.

Weird! I saw the exact same thing happen! Girl just pulled out at a light and a guy in a truck who had signaled and everything clipped her. She was ok but it tore up her bike. I got out and told her, "You realize that you're supposed to obey the traffic laws just like you're in a car, right?"

Now she knows.

no it's not wrong... if we would not have all this 'safety' and insurance nonsense and wrong sense to help everybody, etc. this planet would be a much healthier place.

I don't miss my twenties, glad they're over, but I'd be cool being 33 for a decade or two.

I only read this thread to see all these smart ass remarks about the guy trying to expose the maturity level on these forums was related to age.

Not suprizing results really. Leave it to adults to be so self righteous about something they are at the whim of, aging.

I was pretty sure the last few posts I had read were mostly ages 13-19. However those kids are probably honing thier skills while the old dogs bicker about inflated egos with snide comments on this site, hoping to find out how to keep up with the innovaters (youngsters).

This is also a generalization - there are SOME innovative kids, others are just flogging dead horses taking other's ideas and doing totally cliched things - there are also plenty of innovative mature adults (not all old farts are brain dead and emotionally and spiritually void musically), some users of Live get a second lease of life and have the skills and knowledge to harness it through experience in ways that 17 year olds won't appreciate for another 15-20 years

as I said before, it's probably got a lot more to do with the emotional age brought about by alcohol

I'm far more unstable sober than when drunk.

True.

A lady asked me to DJ her 40th birthday a couple weeks ago. She said she wanted "Strictly 80's music." While dishing out the tunes, many of her friends would come over and say something to me like, "This is MY generation!" As if it wasn't mine. I felt I was like DJing a party for my parent's, only most of the crowd was my age. The party ended at 10:30. I told the lady I was leaving for another party. Her and a couple other began to joke how the cool young party didn't start till 11. I told em I was as old as they were and ditched!

I miss the optimistic obbsessive dream chasing of my youth. The kind where it seemed everything was going to fall out of the sky and grace me. If I could preserve something from the past it would be that.

Maybe you just don't notice it after some drinks.

Yup... that 30th birthday is a hard one. Then you turn 31. Then 32... it was somewhere in there where I began to feel liberated. Like I wasn't some dumb puppy. You're old enough to be respected by the adults, but young enough to hang with kids that are worth hanging with. You can still pull and tag some young hottie ass, but should be wise enough to not start dating it. You can drop some of that silly shit that you clung to in your 20s - that for whatever absurd reason made it justifiable in your mind at the time.

Yep 33. Thats a good age. I hated to see it go

33? Old bastard. I'm still just about young enough to believe that my rock'n'roll death at 27 involving loads of hookers and drugs in a hotel room leaving the world with an overrated piece of questionable genius is miles away.

[H20nly]

but you're still striving and that's whats important!!

my programming instructor believes whole heartedly ...
that if a person will survive the next 50 years or so..
then the human race will be able to achieve immortality...
and also prevail over all diseases..
basing his beliefs on current genetic/brain research...
and the develpoment rate of technology...

I'm a bit skeptical of this...
plus I'm not sure I would wanna live forever...
