Everyone's older. What gives? Younger generations don't care about things anymore, we know that, but is there anyone around here younger than 30? younger than 40? I mean if I had to guess I'd say the averaged age on these forums is over 40... I'm not disrespecting anyone here on the basis of age, it only makes one wiser. I'm just getting at the point of a seemed loss of interest by the younger generation.. I'm thirty, and I haven't seemed to stumble on anyone that I knew was younger than me... Around here I feel like a kid. :-) #resist ID: 1219470 ·
