It's great that we have so many new, younger members! Although it may be a pain to SOME older members/folks, it is really good. I wish I had access to so many honest, knowledgeable fellow shooters, and information when I was 15! Much more accurate info here than at the gun shows, or the local "know it all" at the neighborhood gun shop. [;)]

You damned kids have it easy these days. When I started going on bulletin boards if you wanted to post a message, the text had to be converted into binary BY HAND, make a punchcard and then finally you had to find someone with a card reader with a 110 baud modem hooked to the machine. Post pics back then? HA, unless you like text character mosaics.

Nothing at all to do with age.
Nor is it limited to this board, which is actually better than most. It’s merely a feature of the forum. Anonymity= zero accountability = behavior which, if exhibited in the real world, might even be considered pathological. When there are few restraints on behavior, all sorts of odd activities manifest themselves. The Internet, due to its nature, tends to provoke actions by those who are, in some manner, constrained outside of it. I’ve just come to expect the rudeness, the self-aggrandizement, the lack of intelligent response, and outright bullshit attempted to be passed off as gospel. Best ignored, as there’s no real harm done, except to the credibility of the individual. I just hope most of this is acted out here, so that they can go about their normal lives somewhat relieved of their stresses. Probably a small price to pay for their therapy. As far as AR15.com - Ive seen a hell of a lot more respectful disagreement than Ive seen asshole flame wars. Overall, theres an abundence of good folk here. Luck Alac If you don’t like the forum vote with your feet. |

Are we really suprised at this finding? In this case, stereotypes work well to break down the AR15.com situation:
Youngins: -generally like to socialize more. What better place than a chatroom/discussion forum? -are "into" newer things and the such...like computers, chat room, etc. -are more likely in need of information on firearms...so, again, what better place than here? |

Because you made rank first time means squat, except you had your nose in the PFE all day instead of working. Maybe you should listen to those older E-4`s, they just might know what they are talking about. |

Quoted: any one else remember card catalogs I went to the library last year to do research for a speaking engagement and had to ask where the card catalogs were. The woman looked at me like I was from outer space and then in a snooty voice said "we don't have [b]those[/b] any more--it's all done by computer now." You can imagine her attitude when I then requested assistance on how to use the newfangled computers to find books on the history of trapping in America. She acted as if I had molested her children. Liberal bitch. LOL I too had to walk to school--5 miles, uphill both ways, and, as it was in Wisconsin, it only got up to ten below zero for a few weeks in the spring and fall. [BD] |

I agree. Too many just like the looks of the AR and seek to make it an "assault rifle" by cosmetic changes. Short barrels, folding stocks, bits and pieces that can break, fall off and the like. Nothing done on the shooter part of the equation...
Then we have the Garand types that think the problems this fine system had in its infancy still exist today. And they think a little .224" bullet is only suitable for taking groundhogs and chucks. Somewhere in between is the truth. |

It's a GOOD sign that us young'uns are interested (granted, I barely fit in that group anymore). And for all you old farts: my views are changing daily and my tolerance for 'stupid shit' is growing perilously thin already (too many dumbasses in the world). Just remember that the punk that you harangue today is the one who'll be changing your adult diapers tomorrow. |

Ultimitely we "old timers" will get revenge. Cause when you youngins are our age you will be saying the same thing. Shoot better...I think not! And at least we can last longer in the sack than 3 minutes.....without Viagra mind you[;)] BTW, I can spell(sometimes)....I just can't type. Sgtar15 |

Hello sgtar15,
I am 21 years old, and have been an avid shooter since I was about 5 years old. I have a lot of book knowledge regarding firearms, and also a great deal of hands-on knowledge. Particularly regarding Ruger 10/22 rifles, and some handguns. My family recognized my knowledge of firearms, and even three LEOs asked came to me for advice on which handgun they should buy for their sidearm. I helped them find a firearm that they would like by letting them try multiple brands & models of guns. They now love their sidearms & train with them 3 days per week. This is due to the fact that they are in a good department that gives them an allowance of 50 rounds of .40 cal on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays... Kind of nice eh? My point is, I have been a responsible younin' since I was about 12 years old. I was a geek who spent most of high school in the library to avoid getting "Tittie-Twisters" from local redneck boys with Needle-Nose Vice-Grip plyers! One of my friends got his nipple ripped completely off by a redneck, just because he intimidated the local farmer's children. Yes, youngin's are bad, and usually bad aiming, but this one is not. When I was 18, I was trolling this site on & off (the older boards), and learned a great deal. I had been sent to a weekend discipline camp twice in my life, because I asked to go! Once when I was 16, once when I was 17. I enjoyed it. I learned a lot of things, and most interestingly, I learned why the bad youngin's act as though they do. They have a whole slew of reasons too. Most of it is bad parenting though. Watch what you say to your children, one day it may come back to hurt you (adults in general). -inuhbadnayburhood |

All I said was that you old farts are blind, senile, and you shake a lot! Oh yeah....and I can outshoot you too! That's good advice because some blind old fart is bound to mistake you for a racoon and run your ass over with his '73 Caddy. |

I'm sure most of the older folks have heard this one before, so I will repeat it for the young guns.
A young bull and an old bull were walking over to the next pasture to see if they could "TALK" to the ladies. The young bull was running his mouth a mile a minute about how he was gonna do this and gonna do that to the ladies. The old bull just smiled and enjoyed the young bull's enthusiasm. Just as they top the hill, the ladies came into sight. The young bull starts pawing the ground, snorting and stomping. Then he takes off down the hill and quickly does all the ladies. He had to chase a few down that were "shy" but made sure they all knew who he was. He runs back up the hill, sweating and out of breath. He says "Old bull whats wrong, am I too fast for ya?". The old bull says "Yes, boy you are!". The old bull then strides down the hill and looks over the ladies. Then finds the finest lady and starts "TALKING" like its never done before. After making sure the lady would survive. He slowly strided up the hill and every single one of the ladies followed him back up the hill...... Usually when I tell this story. The young guys are curious as to what this story means but the old farts just smile and nod at each other. |
