I'm 56. Dwii I still do the things I did when I was twenty, but also still do the bad things. Some people just never learn.

I'm younger and more inexperienced than all of you (I win), I'm 16.

Re: What Age Are You?
Well, I am a mere fifty years older than you! And I am well into my second childhood. As the wondrous Bob Dylan so aptly put it, 'Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.,mywit wrote:

It's lovely to meet you last three posters btw! Welcome, welcome, welcome to the big blue house!

Haha, touche, a Dylan quote is never wasted on me. However, i think that since you have experienced some semblance of maturity, and I have never dared enter into such strange territory, I still win by default, lol.

Re: What Age Are You?
I am probably oldest in years (77) and younger in intelligence and experience than most of the members here.
However I do have 77 years of the experience of breathing in and out for those many days and remembering when life was quite different. It is better now but there are certain things that I regret the passing of. One of which (despite all the real societal ills then) is the loss of common everyday courtesies between all classes and conditions of people. The total lack of profanity in everyday speech, no one being called "you guys". However I would not trade that for what life is like now, but it would be nice to re-introduce some of those customs which could easily co-exist with the much greater social justices we now know.
