You make a great point...and I suppose it's right that we can only fight the discrimination by proving we're not all that others may think but much more...
hell yeah. im 17. its cool though. i can still fucking think, and still have my ideals, ideas, views. age doesnt really matter.
I would be happy to post my real age if the actual date of my birthday was not viewable in my profile.
I don't care if people know my age, 20's been good to me and I've had a shit load of experiences and stuff. besides, I know an 8 year old who has more sense and opinions than some 30 year olds I know.
I know where you live, I know where you sleep, and I know that you have no way to protect yourself against my wrath.
You can choose to hide your birthdate in your profile, I do.. The only date in there is my join date... As for the topic, don't really care who has their age posted or not... I really don't even pay attention..nor care.. I'm really 78, seriously, I am.. I didn't want to feel weird or get made fun of...
it's just age; who gives a fuck. if someone wants to find you and they can't, they aren't going to suddenly notice "oh shit, he's 22! i know exactly who this is and where i can find him!" further, it's helpful when people put their actual age so you can get some idea of who you are talking to. i know of one particular teenager on here who will remain nameless who makes perfectly normal posts for his age, yet he lies and says his age is 20 so every time i read one of his posts i think "this guy is fucking retarded for 20"
Thats nothing I'm actually 475 years old, It's hard explaining to people that I am immortal and there can be only one.
