better idea...Aigoo, don't come into the adult room if you choose not to.
Oddly enough, Aigoo, I believe that many of the 'serious discussions' DO take place in other venues. It's just a shame that it had to come to that.
You're all right.

Oh Aigoo. Just. Stop.
The inevitable theaterbabe wrote, "I think some kids my age know more about sex and drugs than many adults."
Uh huh. That's what my friends and I said when we were in junior high and high school. And we simply could not have been more wrong.

Jesus, Namo. How long can you possibly hold a grudge? Well, ok, it's only been one day. But, still.
And I do think that there are some kids who know more about that stuff than some adults. Not saying I do. The point there was that censorsing the board is a stupid idea because most kids already know about all that junk.
Iflit-that comment came from a poster named CJR.
Enough! It's not about censoring content on the board.
It is against stupid, obnoxious, frivolous comments, people who like to ruin conversations by threadjacking, and against those who cannot keep up.
If teens are able to contribute to a conversation in a mature manner, great. Do it.
If you can't, then stay out.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about sex and drugs in high school--I was dead wrong. Until you get out in the real world, there IS no way to truly understand these issues. Just because you have more experience than some is not necessarially a good thing.
Why do people feel the need to grow up so quickly? 14 year olds have no business being sexually active. Until you are old enough to handle the consequences of your actions (emotionally, physically, and financially), enjoy your childhood! Believe me...growing up is scary enough without accelerating the process.

"Jesus, Namo. How long can you possibly hold a grudge?"
Well, theatrebabe, I vote you Most Likely to Find Out.

My god, you guys. I'm not some freaking drug addict. I was responding to one post someone said about maybe censoring the board. It was pages ago.
I do NOT think I know more about drugs and sex than you all. Trust me here.
CJR said "You want a sense of camaraderie? You want to interact with people you're own age and have intelligent conversation? Get a group of your adult friends together and go out to dinner... quit whining about the kids on this board because then that makes you no better than the very kids you're complaining about. "

Ya know, theatrebabe, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to engage in as much back pedaling as you've done in the last 24 hours if you'd just go to the student board and stay there.
Namo, I've agreed with most everything you have said in this thread. But now you are just being snarky, you don't need to go off on a 13 year old for trying to be grown up and mature.

I'm sure I wouldn't have to engage in as much back pedaling as I've done if you'd stop attacking every single thing I post.
Nope, Jane....the comment I was thinking of came from theatrebabe:
"And I hate to pull out this card here, but it is just a message board. Anytime you want, if the kids are annoying you, go talk with adults."

Whoopsie! I guess mine isn't the only last nerve Theatrebabe is working.
The student board: where stupidity goes to die.

Wow. I went almost six months without making any enemies on this board. It was nice while it lasted.

Mayhaps you'll think twice before you post without reading what you're responding to. Grown-ups often read before they respond.
Iflit-, I thought you read my post and were responding to it. Anyway, CJR essentially said the same thing.

Ok, so the lesson I've learned here is: If you disagree with Namo, he won't ever eave you alone. Last time I ever post my opinion on anything. Well done, guys.

This would never have happened if there were an adults board. But all in all, I think it was a pretty good lesson.
theatrebabe, you know I love you. But you need to learn when to stop.
All you're doing by harping on the issue is alienating those who previously had your back. It's really not an attractive quality.

Taken out of context, I essentially said the same thing Jane2. But if you attach that snippet to the rest of my post and add it to the other posts Ive made on this thread, I was *not* saying the same thing as theatrebabe.
I leave to go crochet last night (yeah, I crochet -- hush) and this all happens.
Kitzatina, whereas I too think theatrebabe is beating a dead horse (sweets, you know I adore you, but you do need to let it go), in a way I can almost see why she's continuing it.
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
