Question...

Oh, and one day, you will realize that sexualy-explicit poetic jokes are, on the contrary a lot more "mature" than they are "immature."

That is how us guys think.

riiiiight, oh wise and mature one

I doubt she's as concerned with the sexually explicity poetry as she is with the childish insults, anyway. But both are fairly immature.

Unless, of course, you turn out to be a homosexual.

Oops, you forgot she's a girl, didn't you? Had to replace it with:

That is how us guys think.

... when you read the other thread, huh? Chump.

Vertigo 99 · Post by **Vertigo 99** » Tue Oct 05, 2004 12:54 pm

Yes I did Lothar. Is there anything wrong with that?

New information, new post. I didn't figure there would be any problem with that at all considering that the post was edited about 4 seconds afterwards.

And lothar, you are the general exception to the norm - not the norm itself. Guys in my age group (our age group? maybe a bit of a stretch to group us together) tend to act precisely the way displayed in that thread. So unless the vast majority of people our age are immature, perhaps we are incorrectly utilizing the term immature? Immature implies that people are not acting their age.

Being "immature," despite popular belief, is a lot more than writing naughty things.

Woohoo for the derail job.
I'm going to hit 22 in Dec.

Vertigo 99 · Post by **Vertigo 99** » Tue Oct 05, 2004 12:59 pm

Well, it was originally derailed by the thread's author.

Once it was derailed, all I did was carry the whole train another 500 yards or so (with a little help from Lothar, couldn't have done it alone).

Don't listen to him Verti. Lothar is less "mature" than he would like us to believe.

Chronologically 21. Mentally is a vastly different number.

Immature implies that people are not acting their age.

Not true. Immature implies that people are not fully developed. A 4-year-old is physically immature, by his very nature. And a 20-year-old is probably still mentally immature, by his very nature.

Most 20-year-olds tell dirty jokes (though most know better to tell them to 14-year-old girls, and most know to post them in NHB where they won't be read by 14-year-old girls.) That makes us, as a group, pretty immature. I mean... seriously... when you think "mature" the first picture in your mind probably isn't someone in the 18-25 age group.

Dedman, when did I say I'm mature? I can be immature and still recognize that others are, too.

And I wouldn't call this a derail, since the original poster's curiousity about age was based on the fact that someone was trying to insult her in a pretty immature way. Talking about expectations for maturity is entirely appropriate within this context.

Back on topic or this thread is done.

Phaser, you're running the Revivals at age 14?! Cool stuff

(sorry md, last off topic post, i promise)

agreed; i was the first one in that thread that suggested it get sent to NHB. however, we don't know everything about everyone here, and we assume most of the people here are 18-20 (they are) so we act like it.

Im often mistaken for being older. When I was 17 and working for Jewel they was surprised when I told them I was not old enough to scan alcohol. I told them why.

I work at Albertson's and I sell cigarettes and alcohol on a daily basis. (As afformentioned, I'm 17!) >_> Pretty odd. Moreso because every manager in the store knows how old I am.

I think I'm immature, too. (though I'm not as sexually perverse as most people on this board)

Top Gun yea, I'm 14 but Stealth helped me get used to running the revivals. I'm glad i do a good enough job running the revivals for players to think i'm older than i actually am. Thanks.. I thought u had seen my picture though...o well

Do you consider 1 and/or 2 to be prime numbers?

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 2:41 pm

doesn't matter whether he considers them to be. By definition, 2 is prime and 1 is not. So, to find out the 8th prime number, just grab the sequence of primes (Sloane A000040) and find the 8th listed.

No, I didn't count 1 or 2. Never thought of 2 as prime, but it does fit the definition.
23 for those who aren't mathematically inclined

So in truth, I'm the 9th prime.

fliptw · Post by **fliptw** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 4:09 pm

not counting 1(because 1 only has a single factor(1), while 2 and the rest of the primes have only two factors(in 2's case, 2 and 1)), the first 10 primes are

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 5:04 pm

23 would be the 9th prime.

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:27 am

18 myself. Funny considering how long I've been around here, really.

I don't consider maturity to be relative to other people of the age group... even if all 20-year-olds go tagging fences (which, thankfully, they don't), that would just mean all 20-year-olds are immature.

In a way I agree with Lothar's statement... most people that I see at that kind of age still seem to act like kids most of the time. Or at least the way I'd expect children to act.

However, many that I've met are also quite capable of acting seriously when they need to as well.

I suppose it is as someone once wrote... no man is sane at all hours.

roid · Post by **roid** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:39 am

you don't want to start saying "to joke around and have a sense of humour" as a derogatory term.

as sirus said, if you have the ability to act seriously, and have the ability to not act seriously. then congrats you are human and we like you.

Asrale · Post by **Asrale** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:44 am

Not to hijack the topic or anything, but I agree, people in my age range are what I like to call "braindead morons." Self-serving, punk attitudes, little understanding of anything beyond their own small world.

You kinda wonder what the typical age is when most people actually become "adults"...I'm betting 25...

Tyranny · Post by **Tyranny** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:02 am

Not that I need to defend Lothar or anything. I agree that he might be more immature then he lets on. Some of us choose to be that way. He still has a lot more maturity in his little finger then a few of you will probably ever have though.

Just some food for thought.
