I guess I must have been.
Now I want to hear this kid’s take on, I don’t know…oral sex, alcohol, homosexuality, abortion, Nazi Germany, cussing…so many things.

I have a feeling this strategy will pay off. Slow burn rather than a drive by gets more responses.

Everyone always thinks I’m trolling, but I’m NOT!
I seriously believe this and it’s called the pit for a reason. I’m pitting underage dating. That’s all that’s happening. I don’t know why all you have a problem because that’s what this forum is about. Ranting about things you hate/disapprove of.

So just quit it, or I’ll tell mom!

That’s what trolls always say when caught.

Actually, it’s not the case though. I really do believe what I’ve said in this thread. I don’t know why you think I’m trolling right now. It’s a true fact that I’m against minor dating.
See, I can’t believe minor dating as became this acceptable that when people disapprove with it, people just think they’re trolling. It’s just sad that people think you’re trolling if you don’t agree with minor dating.
Of course I’ve looked at the other side, and sorry! It doesn’t convince me. “Experience” is not a good argument. Anyone can gain experience in adulthood dating.
EDIT: A troll’s purpose is to annoy, or make others mad on the internet either through disrupting the natural flow of discussion with some controversial topic, or by arguing a controversial argument just to make people mad.
My purpose is not to make you mad. I’m just using the BBQ Pit to my advantage to rant about minor dating like I have said repeatedly!

Of course. Anyone can gain experience in cooking as an adult, too. Or painting, or archery or any one of a number of things that people do for fun. But there are very few things that we say kids who are interested in them shouldn’t try simply because of their age; convince me that dating should be on the list with buying a house, drinking alcohol and voting.

Alright, I will. But I can’t right now. I don’t have time as I’m studying for a mathematics quiz I have tomorrow. But, I’ll get back to you as soon as I have the time.

I look forward to reading it. Seriously, I do. I’m actually not quite as opposed to your ideas as my posts here may make it look, I’m just trying to help you think it through a bit more and “force” you to organize your arguments. I promise I’ll keep an open mind as I read your thoughts.

The time spent trolling on the internet would be better spent socializing with people of your own age.

I really don’t think he is. Sadly.

I’ve said in another thread that I honestly don’t care whether AU is a troll. It may be that he is, but I guarantee you that his issues aren’t so far out there that others don’t hold his same views on dating, the need for education, and other like topics. So even if AU is completely jerking our chain, there are other kids who legitimately want to ask the same question and hopefully they’ll be interested in our responses.
To AU, I have another question. You continually cite Yahoo Answers as backup to your argument. Aside from the utter stupidity of that (Yahoo Answers? Seriously? Why not skim YouTube comments for some other salient points?) I have to ask something. It seems as if you are taking information from the internet, processing it, and agreeing with it. Sure, it happens to be, surprise surprise, something you already agreed with, but they’re just anonymous people on a message board.
So why them? What makes one group of anonymous people on a message board more convincing than other anonymous people on message boards?
In other words, why do you so adamantly refuse to listen to anything we have to say but Yahoo Answers gets your undivided attention?

I agree.
I was a sanctimonious little prig when I was a teenager as well. Then I reached puberty and everything became “oh why do girls go out with jerks instead of me” whines. I’m sure that if we had message boards back then I would have come across as an insufferable snot. How times have changed.
As it was, we were limited by technology to painting cave walls with very pointed and insightful hunting scenes.

I’m pretty sure that the OP is one of those teenage South Asian Puritans you hear so much about: he knows that somewhere in the world, teenagers are having fun, and he is deeply offended by that.

Heck, I think that you should wait until marriage (which will most likely occur when you’re in your twenties).

13 where I live, and we’re going back to the old-fashioned definition of marriage (i.e., you’re married if everybody knows you’re married, paperwork be damned).

I think he meant “easy” in the sense of “loose”. You know, sluts advocating underage fornication and all that.
