14 years olds?
I was 14 once, and cursed with the memory of what it was like. At that age, I'd have been rigteously indignant if anyone censored or restricted me in any way, as I was aware of the mechanics of adulthood, and practicing to be one.
I wouldn't have understood very well that some things in life I was truly not ready for, and that being denied, say, the right to drive in the Indy 500 wasn't an outright insult to my maturity and an effort of the adult conspiracy to keep it from me, but a rather thoughtful effort to keep me from destroying myself prematurely. In the process.
If it's wrong to exclude younger people from some of these discussions, it might not be a bad idea to temper some of the things we say with the knowledge that there are those out there who lack the experience to weigh what they read, against the consequences. Through no fault of their own.
It's OK to be young, but you have to survive the period in order for it to pay off.

Im 19 any am seeing the adults behave more immaturely than the so called "kids" in this particular thread. Those who bring up the arguement of "too young" are basing their veiws on their own experiences and learning at that age. Being young is all about learning and as stated earlier this forum provides some form of learning for these kids. Weed is illegal so whoever says that kids shouldnt smoke weed is a hypocrite. These "kids" should be let learn from experience instead of being secluded (in this particular case anyway)

Like Encatuse said, the 'magic numbers' of 16, 18 and 21 are just something some politician decided was right. Think for your goddam selves.

Hunny... if you believe that Ron should have an adult chat.. that means you recognize the fact that under normal circumstances that chat is open to all ages just as Ron intended. I imagine Ron, and the majority of forum members would appreciate you stopping your admitted and obvious abuse of power based on personal opinon.
Perhaps a Poll is in order? I'll be honest. The day Hunny boots me from chat for being 16, is the day I find a new forum to wander.
Hunny, perhaps you should re-think it the next time you consider banning someone based on age. Ron has made it clear that currently there is no age requirement for these forums nor the chat here. I'm sure you're a wonderful moderator, I'm not doubting that, but ageism is just as ignorant as racism and sexism. How would you like it if you got kicked from chat merely for being old? Or for being female? You see the flaws in this no doubt, perhaps you should take a moment and think over your views. I'm sure you'll see the flaws in your ageism as well.

To clear up any confusion for all visitors, mods, admins, etc ...
There are NO age restrictions.
Folks who don't like that policy are free to select a different room - yes, there really is more than one; room list is shown on right-hand side of the chat window; chat direct with certain folks using P2P feature, and ignore what's being said in the room; there is an ignore feature that works wonders.
Hope this helps and clears up any confusion - to reiterate, there are NO age restrictions.
Ron

14 years olds?
of course, y`all know most of the negative posts for this thread come from peoples experiences with dealing with minors.
there is a legal issue here, discussing how to`s and such with a minor is punishable by inprisonment. i have noticed alot of the minors on here are of a mature, responsible mentality, but y`all got to understand that there are legal ramifications when a person of legal age talks to or advises on an illegal activity. i know this is true in the U.S.A and Canada, i cant speak for other countries

-hmmmmm....bullshit! Second thing is, just because you guys remember how immature you guys used to be, times have changed a little bit since 1960-1970. kids are growing up a little faster. Thats so ignorant and opinonated of you to not talk to anyone because they are just younger than 18. what right do you have to judge others based on something like age? oopppinnionnnsss ohhhh opinnionnnsss. get off your high horse novice. in about 10 years you will need to be banned because i know some people about 50 who are already senile. thats potential for you starting to give people wrong info, possibly ending in death or serious injury.
