"Look, I am only 16 and I can already walk/talk/smile!"
Why are we getting this sort of crap from our youngsters all the time?
At 15/16/17 one is normally *expected* to be at the top of his/her
physical as well as intellectual powers! The rest of us has the real
problem: how to slow down the gradual decline with the use accumulated
tricks (sometimes, erroneously called wisdom)!
Or are we supposed to feel sorry for them, because their hormones are
obviously late in kicking in, and they spend far too much time
molesting their screens? Jiri

Here here. I gotta write down that "accumulated tricks" line. (I guess it
will be an "accumulated trick" then...)

Come on, not again, the only real problem us
-your-actions-it-seems"
have is with others of us.
Anybody responding to something like that is just as *weird*.
Cause only a puber(like me) can get upset about stuff like this, you
are (in this society) supposed to stand above this...
We had some problems like this, and yes, i was overreacting about a lot
of things, but so were you, and now you're doing it again.
(On the other hand, it's better than my parents: "it's ok, it is
problely just his puberty-thing" and then they look at you like an
alien)
You're the one with a problem here, not the 16-year-old boy (who wrote
that anyway?) that is happy/smiling & walking.....

You should feel sorry for yourself getting so fuzzed about this...
Now we both been hypocrit (you getting upset, me saying you should
relax, oops i sound like my parents) we can stop here and talk about
Euphoria....
Anybody here likes a library that will automatically
compress/decompress your data when you write it out to a file or device
using the standard (built-in) routines???

I think it was the Baptist convention that voted to boycott DisneyWorld. I
forget their reasoning, but it did have something to do with gays.
I do need a program that will compress and decompress files. Where would I
find something like that?
Thanks in advance!

Geesh. The content is good on this listserv but the flames are not.
Anyway, <offtopic>
since you asked, Ralf, yes, the Baptists are boycotting Disney. It's not
binding and it's probably not helping, so it's undoubtedly merely a token
gesture. I don't think Michael Eisner is losing sleep.

yea, I think it was the Baptists also, they were boycotting Disney because
they were giving the same rights to gays that they were giving to straight
people, benifits and stuff. I didn't pay much attention to it, but that's
about the gist of it I believe.
