All these punks on this intertubes playing their wiz bang games with the 3-d graphics, physics based modeling, and surround sound phewey.
Bah I say bah!
In my day you had to go to the mall and play with people on the same machine in the same arcade.
What? No not Xbox Arcade an actual arcade in a building with walls, and you paid with quarters you got from a fat, sweaty man who asked you if you liked Conan movies and wanted to see his puppy in his van.
Where was I?
Oh yeah and you had to get the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat and press ABACAB on the control pad to get the blood and fatalities to work.
We had no series of tubes except ones full of monsters to kill and we had to blow on the metal contacts and slam it into the consoles quick to get it to work.
You didn't wave your controller around unless Pokemon triggered seizures and Sonic games were good till he got all fancy and three dimensional.
You kids got it too good, you have phones that play Tetris in color, we had Gameboys with muddy black and gray screens that you had to feed six double A batteries to get it to work for two hours and we were happy with that, the game gear could double as a portable tv but that darn thing died in an hour. You kids have multicore processors we had bits. At first 8 then 16, 24 if you were rich. We tried 32 but it looked like an ugly black brick on top of the Genesis and the CD attachment meant you needed three huge power plugs that took up two or more spaces each on the power strip.
And you have quicktime events we had fmv movies that sucked and made Congress angry.
You punks don't know how good you have it, you have XP and OS X. We had Windows 95 and no one bought Macs except schools, if we wanted to listen to music we turned on the radio or use stereo cassettes that would jam or wear out in the boombox.
No Spielbeg did not make boom boxes those were portable radios that needed eight D batteries and weighed ten pounds and you carried it on your shoulders.
Now you whippersnappers get of my lawn!!!
I remember those days. So long ago...

Not to be a detail-nazi but too be really fair you should write 0-14. Who knows, there might be a 2 months old baby out there who knows how to use a computer.

Fair enough, fixed. However I refuse to include 0 in an age poll since that person would still be in the womb and hence ineligible to vote.

No it wouldn't, 'couse you start counting the baby's age from the day it pops out. Not the day it's made. So when it's in the womb it's less than 0 years old. Otherwise I'd be 18 already. Which I'm not. T_T

16, and still without a driver's licence -_-
That's a GOOD thing. 16 year old´s shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Well I'm almost 17 and I'm a great driver, but my parents are too lazy to take me to the DMV. -_-

You say no it wouldn't and then agree with me that a birthday means date of birth and the reason why I won't include 0 in the option. Interesting way to baffle the minions I guess?

I'm not agreeing with you. You say that someone that's 0 years old is still in the womb(or?). I'm saying 0 years old is from the moment the baby pops out till the day before it's 1st birthday. Which means that when it's still in the womb it's less then 0 years.
You see?
But this conversation has gotten way out of hand for something that's so trivial and meant as some kind of joke.
