I'm not sure it's a wise idea to be typecasting age groups. Other than that I have high hopes for this thread.

This is not a good thread.
And also, I think you'd be incorrect in assuming that almost all members are teens. Teenagers are, in my experience at least, in the minority on dakka.

Really? I find that during the summer, we are the majority, but during the winter, the adults rise to power once again.
26 here. I think it would be helpful to break down the younger players though because 13-19 groups adults with jobs and those in college alongside kids still in school living off pocket money

Yeah I would say young adults are the biggest group with teenagers 2nd, middle-aged men 3rd, seniors 4th, pre-teens 5th, children 6th, toddlers 7th and coming in last place would probably be babies.

Can't say that I fancy Che Guevara in the least( I far prefer Theodore Roosevelt). I wish my laptop cost $4,000 dollars, maybe it would run newer games. Blogging is gay and I'm a republican, the exact opposite of a socialist.

Probably first time I've seen somone use that phrase on dakka. (unless I'm just blanking..)
Using that phrase is so halonachos, ya know?
The thing is, the 40+ crowd now how to get the truck out of the tree. The 20-30 crowd will wonder who they can call for help, the under 20 crowd will probably tweet about it using "lol","rofl", and several variations.

Come out me Bro I'm just letting you know, its not something I've seen on Dakka before, its like using 'slowed'. Its frowned upon.
Not quite...picture if you will..nest of us "Creepy" 40 somethings hanging by our toes (cause we can do that) from the tree...waiting to swoop down upon unsuspecting members of the" World Domination Committee and violate them with fist fulls of gummy bears and Def Leppard tapes...the big old 8-track kind.

Maybe that's how the drummer lost his arm, never put gummy bears in front of a fat kid.

The definition of words change, I'm sure my mom's middle name didn't represent homsexuality when her father made it her middle name.

Did you mean it in a negative way? Because that is how I took it.
I believe that South Park already covered the issue and its one of the better ways its been argued. Watch the video and all will be answered.
@Fitzz, see things happen when you get older, like learning life's lessons.
I remember a 40 year old once told me to lean on him when I wasn't strong because I might of had a problem he could understand. We all need somebody to lean on though, I helped him with his computer.

Thanks for answering my question man. Great having a straight-forward conversation with you. Glad to know your mom's name and to be told to go watch 'a southpark video' without being given a title, too.
...That man was very wise...reminds me of a fellow I met when I was a young man...He'd just left a good job in the city,working for the man every night and day...but he never lost one minute of sleep...worrying bout the way things might have been...ahh memories.
I couldn't help him fix his computer...we didn't have them back then...we just spent a lot of time grunting and waving sticks around...oh and stocking up on candy and Def Leppard tapes.

Seeing as though you lack the google-fu abilities the Dude shall abide.
The definitions of words change over time sometimes, that's why some words have 2nd and even 3rd definitions.
@Fitzz, did that guy happen to 'roll down the river' often? If so I think I might have met him, nice guy but the people there seemed to willing to give. Made me feel poor. Speaking of poor I remember this fellow who told me that one plus one plus one was three, but you had to have good vision because he was hard to see.
18, a California Conservative (more libertarian than anything though...), so definitely not a socialist. Hmm...I do have the flag of the Soviet Union hanging around for use in my Hetalia cosplaying, and I don't blog. I got my laptop uber-cheap, and it has served me well this last year. Well except for that one time it deleted my operating system.....
shame your 18 though...that's just a wee bit to old for my taste
Nothing a bit of good ol' erotic foreplay can't fix.
....
....Hmm,You may have a point....alright...I'm off to Canada,Cheesecat...keep your eyes peeled for sinister looking van with an old clown at the wheel....you'll probably hear Def Leppard playing and smell Gummy bears in the air..

I think that sentiment is felt by 99.999% of dakka users, but the popo don't know know. We'll keep an eye out for you Fitzz, if you don't get on dakka for 3-5 years we'll guess what happened.

My age is fairly obvious by now.
No..No..No...What's called for here is a complexed system of support struts,come alongs,winches and cable.coupled with the strategic removal of binding branches and the aplication of an inverted loading ramp...to allow the truck to simply roll from the top of the tree.
If that fails....get the Fire,Guns,Alcohol and strippers...( you kids always forget about the strippers...grumble)..

The youngsters are so hip, like they are the only ones who have ever been young and chilled out smakin' tabs with backy of wackiness, while some are like so totally conservative, and anyone over 40 is like trying to screw them.
Thing is when you get to 40 you will discover that everybody is still trying to screw you and will do til the day you get popped in a box and roasted in the gas oven eternal.

Frazzled is eternal.*
*Genghis Connie says if by eternal I mean older than dirt.
At 16/17, I was so excited that I was going to be able to buy beer and stuff soon.
So now i'm 18, what happens? I despise the stuff. Really, my body will no longer let me drink anything more than 1 bottle of urine (Budweiser etc.), one glass of wine/cava/champagne, or any spirits (to be fair, this has always been the case for me); if I try and go beyond that limit then my stomach simply rejects it.
I don't see the point in getting drunk/drinking a lot to start with, but i'd have liked to be able to stomach a bit more; having 1 beer over the course of a whole night whilst watching your mates get smashed out of their heads isn't my idea of fun (especially when you have to help them home 'cos you're the only sober guy there... Can't wait to do that -.-); but at least I won't have any hangovers/embarrassing incidents.
I tried to avoid drinking too much up here in Scotland. But it failed....I think it says something about me that my embarassing drunken incident involves both cosplaying and the phrase 'FOR THE EMPEROR!'
Why you young whipper snappers...I've been skanking and listening to Ska since before you were born!!...and we didn't have Youtube to listen to music on...we had to go out and buy records...that's right records...printed in vinyl so the'd get all scratchy and skip...and we had to buy 'em again...and we loved it...

...And polution..why,even if you weren't scared of getting eaten by a shark...you couldn't even get to the shore line because you'd step on a broken bottle or a disguarded hypodermic needle...and we liked it that way.

Oddly enough I've had my eye on a Harley for a year or so now...picking a fight well be with the Missus when I pull up on it... As for my kids...I think they're the ones trying to ignore me now...it's not easy having a Dad who still acts like he's a teenager at times.

Oddly enough I've had my eye on a Harley for a year or so now...picking a fight well be with the Missus when I pull up on it... As for my kids...I think they're the ones trying to ignore me now...it's not easy having a Dad who still acts like he's a teenager at times.
Yea, my dad has a OOP BMW motorcycle.......what is it with middle aged guys and motorcycles
And don't worry they'll grow out of that, I'm beginning to enjoy hanging around with my dad.......going to the beach to observe.......^^....
Not sure if most middle aged (wait..am I middle aged...I'll have to check a life expectancy graph...)..are into motorcycles...most seem into sports cars...but they do appeal to me...then again ...I've always loved Motorcycles and ridding,so it's natural that even in middle age (sigh)..I still would.
Not to worried about my kids,my Daughter has reached that age where everything about her parents embareases her...including the fact hat we exist at all...I assume things will remain this way until she finally moves out.. My Son...well ..he's still young enough to think I'm sort of cool most of the time...of course he's a bit of an odd one for his peer group...he hates rap,tends to not follow trends and overall sort of does his own thing.

Well now that is a relife...
Funny story...at least I thought it was..After a recent School Valentines dance my Daughter walked in in a huff being excesively dramatic about how embaressed she was by her Brother,after sitting them both down to figure out what the "disaster" was...I learned that at the dance ,when the DJ asked all the kids what song they wanted him to play..my Son shouted,over all the other kids yelling for various Lady GaGa and Rap songs,..." MOTORHEAD!!!"
...I actually teared up a bit.

My Son is almost 10.

Really, I'm not surprised about the teenager part considering a lot the younger Dakkanauts seem to like talking you, then again it might be just the "pedo" generation thing too.

Twelve and already a Valentine dance, WTH? My first dance/party was at age 16......
@ Cheescat...Well you know..I try to stay "hip and with it."...
@ Silly..Yeah,I wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of my "little girl" going to a dance.
But...I'm progresive...(to an extent)..and Figured since the event was well chaporoned and taking place at school...I'd let her go...plus I knew her Brother was going to be there as well..and...I really do try not to "Bubble wrap" my kids.
@ MDS..
I really belive part of my Sons love of rock and roll is that he's been listening to me belt out tunes since he was born,even when he was a baby he'd sit and listen to me play the guitar and bang his little head...

And since when is being a pedo equals staying cool and hip.
The "pedo" referance comes from the OPs original poll...just a joke.
I do tend to be strict with my kids at times...there are difinate rules they have to follow...and I have spanked them both on occasion...but...I also see my job as a parent as more than "protecting and disciplining" my kids...I also see a need to prepare them for life outside of the nest,so I don't try to prevent them from encoutering bumps and bruises along the way...I think kids need to learn that life holds hardships and that not everything is going to go the way they expect it to.
I must admit the paedo and creep reference has pissed me off somewhat.
If I could be arsed I'd report the OP as the tosser that he deserves, but I can't be arsed. Too much to do, I've got my rain mac to iron for tomorrows school run.

Joking aside,I agree ..the Pedo/Creep reference was ridiculous ...which is why...with a bit of help from Cheesecat..I attempted to make a fething mockery of it.

Ahh...but there in lies the dig,the little bugger didn't conform to any predisposed norm...He didn't yell for Freebird (which would have been funny as well) and he didn't yell for ...well whatever the other kids were yelling for....he yelled for what he wanted...and everyone else at the dances opinions be damned.

Why don't you have the "Being a dumb private" option in the 20+ bracket?
Love the world domination committee-thing. Sadly that committee was disbanded due to lack of funding. Senator Mommy and Speaker of the House Daddy cut their budget.
I remember discovering my dad's CD's. Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns and Roses... compared to the music my mom listened to it was better athough the Temptations are a good band, and the Commodores, and Garth Brooks, and 70's stuff. My grandpa reminds me of the days he had to walk up both sides of a hill on the way to school at six in the morning while it was snowing and the temperature was 100 degrees.
My grandpa also blew up his dad's car back in the day.
I just love the fact that silly and scrazza are talking about skanking, totally different meanings which allows it to be fething hilarious.

I'm 45, have been playing GW games of one type or another for 20 years and I seriously object to the pedo generalization. If the girl hasn't made her own way in the world for long enough to pay for her own big fake boobies, I'm not interested. By the way, if you're not moshing, you should just sit the hell down.

GC is of similar age. She Who Must Be Obeyed observed one of the boy scouts was smitten with her when they were doing some volunteer work. Time to take him shooting. I should warn him, I tend to have accidents with the shotgun...

come now fitzz, remember what it is like to be the bloke rumbled by the girl you are atop of's father coming come from work early?
Indeed I do...which is why I'm worried...I was one of those young boys that most Fathers wanted to shoot...and I have a disturbing feeling that Karma...or cosmic justice...or what have you...is going to bite me right in the butt.

Wait, how long til she's legal?
Most def j/k
...Cannerus...as much as I like you...and as much as I find myself in agreement with you on many views...
Then I shall.... avoid that situation by sticking to girls in my age group.
I'm usually cleaning my guns whenever a girl comes over and they leave right away. I'm still waiting for Mrs. 'pulls out a deagle' in that situation. Either that or a woman who can fire a mosin-nagant 15 rounds in a row without crying.

2) Girls usually get along great with their fathers.

Where's the rest of that pumpkin episode? You left it at suspenseful part and now I want to see the rest of it.
Part 1...yeah that's a plus...
Part 2..Girls get along with their Fathers so long as Daddy's princess is getting what she want's....trust me...tell them you don't want them to wear a certian sort of clothes...or tell them they can't go see a particular movie...or any of a hundred other things and watch how fast Daddy's little princess turns on you..

That's why you have to be stealthy about it: Burn the cloths when they aren't looking and then say you "misplaced" them in the laundry. As for the movie, it depends on which one.
