@CattleRustler

"you don't need to be 16 to get laid."

Depends on where you live. Age of consent laws differ on a state by state basis. I imagine they're different in other countries as well. Though even if he did I doubt he'd get caught unless he was getting frisky in public or something.

Well, I'm 14. My strange short attention spam and easy distraction by small moving objects prevents me from ever finishing a single damn game.

And good to know that raven is only 21, from his speeches i thought he was like, some vilage elder or something. This side of him is better i guess.

I was 14 and my girlfriend was 13-and-8 months. Why does this sound so wierd? I was "physically ready" when I was about 12 1/2 - 13.

"Why does this sound so wierd?"

Culture.

If it makes you feel any better you would have been perfectly normal 2000 years ago in ancient Rome(and other times and places I'm sure).

oh. ok, sorry. I thought we were having a "frank" discussion, but nevertheless, I find it interesting what other cultures view as an appropriate age (not what the laws say, but what actually goes on)

I am not yet a parent but I know I wouldn't want my son/daughter having sex at 13-14. But when I look back on my own past experiences it seemed perfectly fine for us 13-14 yr-olds to be doing the deed.

Women, women. So little I know about them. I've been able to figure out Calculus, the arts, music, computers, martial arts, physics all the way to the "string theory", but I can't figure out women. It's a cryin' shame...

28, been coding since I was 7, using DB for the last 3 years or so.

Plenty old enough to do what I like, yet I don't drive or drink!.

Personally, I never enjoyed drinking, I only ever drank to make it easier to chat girls up - once you get a girl you want to stick with there's no real purpose behind drinking for me, with the obvious exception of Hogmany of course (I am Scottish!).

3 years? When did you start? (what version?)
could it be that much already...?

Eh, well, same here too. Here the legal age for driving and drinking (separatedly, of course ) is 18. yet, I don't have any interest on doing either of those.

V1.07 IIRC, dunno if it is 3 years, maybe not - but it must be close to that. Back when we had that lovely trial version with the 300 uses, that's the demo I downloaded.

Yep, think it was 1.04. Basically joined the forum the same month that Indi joined (about 3 months after buying DB). Can't remember if he was before me or the other way around. About June 2000 if I remember rightly.

That's one way of proving you still have a lot to learn young one.
I recommend you "dump" that habbit before no girl will respect you in future.
edit: oh you posted before me, I hate it when people do that

Damn it! I wish I hadn't mentioned G-strings now, I keep imagining all the nice ladies around here wearing them.
