...Yet, I feel 100+ at times.
Just curious. Seems a recent influx came in after school got out.
Way, way, way back in the old days, back when people used dial-up modems to get online, there were two periods of the year that most of us dreaded. First was right after Christmas, when a bunch of kids got modems as gifts and spread their infantile nonsense far and wide. The other was June, when people got out of school and could spend all summer trolling the net.
Sucked then, sucks now.
Currently 20, turning 21 in September. That should be fun.
I am seeing an obvious correlation here with age and politics. Most young people are lib, older people are cons. I was a lib kid myself so I cut them a lot of slack, it’s the old libs that I have a hard time not being annoyed with.

You have to go back further. Old days were no internet, no computer. I remember in school having to use a slide rule for physics and math. In college, it was a big deal to have a hand calculator that did trig functions. Computer was a main frame where punch cards were used for program entry. Any one under 50 is soft, soft I tell you.:lol:Way, way, way back in the old days, back when people used dial-up modems to get online, there were two periods of the year that most of us dreaded.

Young people are more open to change, and older people are more set in their ways. And what would be considered a liberal idea at one point in time, can be considered a conservative idea at a later point in time.
Turning 60 next month.
May grow old, but will never grow up.
May be true, but brings up an "old saying", if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Change for change sake is not always good.
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
-Winston Churchill
That quote is full of ****. I want to stab something every time I see it.
If my time here at DP has been any indication, i've seen both conservatives and liberals, old and young posters with absolutely no brains.
The quote seamlessly combines an of appeal to authority (in the person of Winston Churchill) and a witty play on words into a maxim for the ages. As far as political rhetoric goes, it is a masterpiece.
I'm 21.
It's not necessarily change for changes sake, but a disagreement on what works, and what is good.
