    I never get it, your giving up one of the awesome things about the internet straight away, your age anonymity. Straight away people are judging your posts based on your age. It also leads into that other weird thing I just dont get, uploading your personal details, I was added by somebody on facebook who had every single detail possible uploaded (including phone number).If it was for close friends only you might say ok, but I hardly know the guy who added me

    I don't think I've judged anyone post on their age. I have to admit I've never really look. I pretty much judge posts on whether the poster is a d1ck or not!

    Age becomes irrrelevant on the interwebby. Unless you're there for malevolent intent, of course.

    Why didn't you just call yourself Hippy, then?

    Birthdays in usernames is still better than the eejits who ruin a perfectly good word by encasing it with a fcukload of Xxx's though

    You were born in 89? Was Ancient Rome any good or Did Gladiator etc just glamourize it?

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?
