Or like saying a nine-year-old could compose a symphony. Wait, that actually happened :rolleyes:

I'm 16, though I'm frequently mistaken for 18 or even older, which comes in VERY handy.:D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

14, curiously it seems most like to imagine me as being older.

By the way, what's the point of accusing people of lying about their age? If they are, what is it to you? I don't see any benefits in harassing people about their age just because you can't accept some others may be significantly more skilled than you or your peers.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I don't seem to age. when I was 18, people thought I was 20. And now, I'm older, and people still think I'm 20.
I should stop drinking the blood from young virgin chicks by night, seems to have side effects.
SCREW CANON!

17 o'er here. People who only hear my voice over the phone think I'm a lot older for some reason.

Seems like a waste of perfectly good young virgins too. At least deflower them first ;7

Possibly so ridiculous that I could be lying to you, or you could just be really close minded and amazingly ignorant.


yep. i fact, i was studying ancient egyptian when i was 12, and i knew enough heiroglyphs to be considered literate in ancient egypt. so people just have weird interests.

OK OK, I'm not going to argue the point further here. I have nothing to gain, other than a locked thread, so I'll just keep my thoughts to myself. But given that I've never (and am not now, nor will I ever) intentionally flamed and insulted, please don't group me with people such as anon. And I don't say Razor, because I have not seen this abusive behaviour that everyone keeps talking about, but thats a topic for another day.

Oh and, I'm 17.
