RE:"I got him at 15" Since he's been on SI for a couple years I was going to give him 17 maybe 18 by now. The keys are... 1. On the Mod thread he admitted to not remembering the 91-92 recession. I figured if you lived through it at even a teen age you would remember it. 2. His concern for having to register for the selective service system. Then again, if he is in the 15-20 age range I have to give him some credit for being politically motivated, having opinions...even if they are liberal and at times illogical. In time he will be able to be more objective as he gains life experience. Also, if he can take the heat he has on here and still be posting, he is at least building some character. I usually give the kids the benefit of the doubt, I guess I'm soft.
