Think before you post.
Leave the cussin' to others.
Try to remember the golden rule.

Sometimes I am an utter failure.

It means there's kids around, and you need to get rid of them because the are starting to annoy the crap out of you...so you give them the excuse that it's time for them to leave, because you want to have an "adult" conversation...

Answer the question, how freaking hard is that.

Mmmm to act like an adult....

Well I guess you'd start by respecting the opinion of others, you'd then (if you disagreed) retort with an intelligent, factual based response pertaining to the matter at hand instead of resorting to name calling and sarcastic comments.

I guess acting like an adult would also mean being responsible for your own actions and realising when you've made a mistake and apologising for it.

Or you could just say my Dad is bigger than your Dad?

To be honest I really don't know...my limited view has always been take responsibility for your life, admit when you are in error and the quest for great tasting sipping whiskey.

Complain that the majority of people do not spend all of their time doing what you think this site was made for? (even though this group includes you)

Complain that a certain topic should have it's own area because you do not want to hear about it, and then post in that seperate area as much as anyone that is directly effect by that topic?

Act like you know what is best for this site and that you opinion is the only one that matters?

Talk down to everyone on this board?

Never admit that you are wrong or that this is not a issue you know for sure, but instead turn it into a pissing match with other members?

Act all "mature" around other people but when no one's around ---

sit on your livingroom floor in your underwear, watching tv, eating an entire tub of icecream and beer... why?

because you can! there's no one to say no!

**Tekboy** · October 4th, 2004, 10:38 AM

My actual opinion is that to act like an adult means to take responsibility for your actions, pay your bills on time, treat others with respect and dignity, treat others the way you want to be treated, and do the next right thing as often as possible.

I fall far short of this mark quite often, unfortunately, but I keep trying. Which is the other adult thing for me these days, which is to just keep trying, no matter what the adversity may be, or what it may appear to be, since I have learned that things are not always what they appear to be.
