I once wrote a COPPA question which I don’t think was answered. Its a new net law, yes, a real one, that says the Board owners must post a note that kids 12 & under may have their private information recorded & thus, the owners are supposed to & must post a message about that. But they haven’t still, it appears. ---

I’m 17, going on 18 in about two months. I’ll be a senior in high school. And I don’t drink but I still know how to have a good time! ;^) I’ll band with you guys as long as I still get to fraternize with the “geezers”. I’ve grown quite fond of them over the (almost) 4 years I’ve been on the Straight Dope. Now Dragon, pass me a non-alcoholic sangria and some potato chips and let’s have a party! ---

Wow I’ve never been called a geezer before. I’m honored. Hey, any of you kids want some liquor just ring me up. I’ll be more than happy to help. ---

'nother 20 year old checking in. Underage? No. Watch the name calling kiddo – I like these geezers. This has a lot to do with the fact that I mostly grew up around “adults” though. I’m a geezer regardless of age – and proud of it! I’m with ya on the no-drinking Welfy, I’ve found other ways to have a kickass time. 😉 I wish, I wish, I wish you lived on the west coast. I never understood why being able to buy booze equated being grown up. Feh. -niggle ---

I’m 18. I turn 19 in a few months. Ooh baby. I can’t do anything more then than I can now, so I don’t see it being a big thing. I do so hate birthdays. ---

It might just be the national holiday/fireworks bit, though. I’m not really looking forward to being allowed to drink alcoholic beverages, or own a gun. I mean, alcohol just tastes icky, and if you can’t buy an automatic, what’s the point? ---

Show yourselves! I am still not 21 but I vote, I have purchased and own two handguns, I have purchased alcoholic beverages (do not drink though… or inhale) and I drive a lot. I can party though!! So, do I count?? ---

Let the festivities begin! NA sparkling grape juice for all! Pretzels and chips are to the left. Pool table and pinball to the right. TV is behind me, and enjoy the wonderful feel of real leather while watching the tube! Oh, and the music. Anyone want to help there? ---

\ Ah, a group after my own heart…its been too long since I’ve had a nice game of pool. Darn summer breaks. They’re just not as fun as they used to be. Now, who here has some decent music? Napster pirating? Well, can you mix it? ---

17, female. Whatever on the drinking part. I grew up with the glass of wine at dinner thing, so drinking’s never been a big deal to me. Monster104, Paddy, care to help me unscrew the cap off this bottle of vodka I brought with me? I’m having a little trouble with it. Now where’s the sprite? ---

Oh heck, I’ll blow my cover - I’m 19 and a sophomore in college. But the board elders are still wonderful and wise people. I’m not too enthralled with hitting “the age”, though…I hate the way alcohol tastes, and why the heck would I need a shotgun? Anyhoo…yeah, I’m one of them.
