Thats what kids our age do, we look for thing we want to do and we talk non stop about it and then people tell us it's a stupid idea so we find something new and start talking non stop about that. And kids could be doing alot worse things at this age...talking about these things can hurt anyone so there isn't a problem with it.....

Oh..regarding the PETA reply.

If "humans simply cannot provide" adequate housing...how do they explain captives of ages 20yrs plus......

I dont really see a need to get worked up over it though. Its just an opinion....and opinion that isnt going to affect our hobby anytime soon.

I realized that what I said was kind of harsh, and please don't think I"m old and wise, I'm only 22

kids with dreams are where great things come from...however if they were met with complete encouragement especially with something like this, they'd often have their hopes dashed

I'd like to add, I'm new to the site. I have had absolutly no problems with anyone from the start.

Seems to me Rikki, you put your foot in your mouth somewhere down the road. 'Tis a shame.

There a quite a few members on this website that have been under 16, and gotten more respect from the members than some that are 40 years + None have wild ideas on zoos and rescues as they simply educate themselves on the realisim of doing such a thing beforehand. That's also what kids do, read and learn.

It ALL depends on how you present yourself, and what kind of person you are. In the end the ones deserving of being treated as an adult, end up getting treated that way as the older members realize they might be young but deserve respect and have good opinions. But when a 14,15, or even 65 year old starts off with lies, crazy stories, then they are treated accourdingly by the members. It's a clear pattern.

I feel a lot of young people get treated like crap simply because they are young, but NOT here from what I have seen. I am very open about my age(17) and people have never flamed or bashed me because I am young...but they would if I were to spread blatant misinfo or lie, it seems that's what is happening to you...people hate liars. Nobody can make you do anything, you can only choose to react upon how others act towards you, and when you make a bad choice DO NOT blame it on them.

Edited for spelling and grammatical errors.

Same, no one has ever said anything about my age, it does not matter...

zero&stich · 01-02-05, 08:44 PM

Heh. To those who think 'we' are harsh, try going to the 'other forum'. The mods their are jerks. The mods here are very open minded, and least they know there herps well.

Btw I'm 23. Flame me, I'm young.

HOLY CRAP

... Manitoban Herps... i was under the impression you were alot older than you are... really i would have guessed at least 25...lol..

i used to get reamed on by ALOT of ppl about my age( not here) then... i just proved them rong....

i always had teachers telling me, " your just a STUPID young kid what do you know" they used to call me alot of nasty thing... until i proved them rong... it was easy too... i graduated... at 16( well had all my creds, got diploma when i was 17).. with honers... then they were all like "oh i always knew you were smart"

when your among friends act as young as possible... when your among elders act acordinaly.. when you among all different age groups, act your age... and be honest...

BoidsUnlimited · 01-02-05, 08:54 PM

I'm 20..........minus 3.

CHRISANDBOIDS14 · 01-02-05, 08:57 PM

LMAO at all of the above!

Rikki, im going to dismantle your age comment RIGHT now.

I am 14 years old(soon 15), as many members on this site know. I have NEVER been treaty badly or like some insignificant little kid. I have ALWAYS been respected, NEVER goten into a battle with someone, I and OTHERS have ALWAYS been respectful and understanding of each other during problems. When I first became a member of this site, though I never said anything about my age, I was treated VERY well when I started frequenting this site. I joined this site a little over a year ago, and the only difference is the variety of reptiles available to this day and the amount of people on this site.

I know of severeral other members that are about my age that are treated VERY well. Maybe we have always been respected and well treated because we have always told the truth and not covered up the facts? Can I ask the other members why it is you and I are treated so differently?

Just wanted to "clarrify" an issue that you seemed to be a little confused on.

Thanks.
