Now is the perfect time to invade seeing as how I am going for a skiing trip in New Hampshire - not exactly close to Triad territory but...

I.

Can.

Not.

Wait.

That sounds awesome! I love skiing. I did it for the first time about 3 years ago and the people with me said I was a natural. There's nothing like sliding down a huge mountain on a sunny, cold, snow-filled day on a pair of skis. So much fun.

 

[D-Man]

Alright, D-Man. I see you're a fairly respected guy around here, i'll give this a shot.

What do you call an acceptable age difference in a relationship?

This is kind of a loaded question and it's tough to give a good answer. Unfortunately, we live in a world where slight differences in the situation can affect the answer to this question.

On one hand, it's not acceptable in our modern day and age to date a 15-year old if you're 25 years old. And yet it's perfectly fine for a 35-year old to date a 25-year old. Now, one might say that it's because the 15-year old is underage and that would be considered statutory rape... understandable. But then why is it frowned upon for a 34-year old to date an 18-year old? Here lies the problem...

In my opinion, it all comes down to abiding by the laws that are given to us and staying within the boundaries of maturity. In other words, first and foremost, if you're old than 21-years old, there is no reason why you should be dating a boy or girl that is younger than 18-years old. (I accept the fact that 18-20 year olds tend to date 15-18 year olds at times and I don't believe this would ever be considered statutory rape... but that's up to their parents.)

But let's go into the equation that both parties are over 18 years old and by American laws and standards, it's perfectly legal for them to date. If that is the case, you need to view the younger party's maturity level. I believe it is acceptable for two people to date, regardless of age, if both parties are handling the relationship with an equal amount of effort and maturity. If two people are attracted to each other and build strong feelings for the other, I don't see anything wrong with them trying to make things work as long as both of them are willing to accept the consequences that come along with the age difference. While a 50-year old dating a 22-year old might seems disgusting to many of us, who are we to judge? As long as they're both willing to accept the scrutiny they are going to face from judgmental people and are willing to take the risk of living two completely different lives of maturity, I see no reason why they shouldn't date.

I hope this answers your question.

I bet you wondered why it took you so long to give it a go... Been trying to get my mates to go for YEARS.

It really is an excellent way to let off some steam (although with a school group of 63 kids in tow the only steam being let off might be coming from my ears). There is nothing like blitzkreiging down a hill with some good music blasting in your ears. Hard to replicate that kind of rush. Then followed up with Apres Ski in the bar..

I only wish that I had been paying attention to where the Royal Rumble was being held this year. I could have booked a few tickets and taken a small group of the kids to it.

 

[D-Man]

It took me a while to try it because I wasn't given many opportunities to come out of my shell growing up. My parents didn't have a lot of money and couldn't afford things like ski trips and stuff. As the years went by and I became more independent, I had to wait until I was able to afford that kind of a trip. Then, once I was able to afford it, I had to get friends to come along.

There were just too many things that got in the way. But like I always say, better late than never

 

[Барбоса]

It really is an experience not to be missed. Getting to go on a school ski trip during my early teens was one of the best experiences of my life and had a profound effect on my social skills. Before going I was extremely quiet and didn't really get involved in my social activities but once forced to do so on the ski trip, I was suddenly representing my school at three different sports and on the quiz team that were national champions (hey, I was and still am a nerd - you don't do three separate degrees in Ancient History without being one)

 

[D-Man]

I am actually pissed that it took em so long to get to some slopes and put on a pair of skis, but what can I do? At least I know that I presently have a good bank account, the time and the means to get out there whenever I want now. All that's left is finding people to go with, since this continues to be my biggest problem preventing me from going more often.

Tell me about it.

If the object of a holiday is not drinking and debauchery then most of my friends do not want to know. The excuse of not having the money to go is usually thrown out at me but then they go and blow a couple of hundred in a weekend drinking binge. Cut three of those out of your year and all of a sudden you can afford to go.

But no, they are quite willing to go into mountains of debt for a drinking session or three but not for something they might actually remember and enjoy because it might involve some organisation and leaving their local comfort zone.

A symptom of living in a rural community I am afraid.

My new thread about favorite Royal Rumble eliminations:

Have a look guys.

Rattlesnake, for future reference, when you post a youtube video you only take that last part of the URL. So you would only copy and paste the bold part.

I'll give it a look after I'm done with classes today.

Guys... two days until the Royal Rumble. I'm so fucking psyched!

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I predict Wade Barrett or John Morrison for the RR, unless The Game returns and takes the win....

The only other scenario I can see is Sheamus winning, using his title shot at Elimination Chamber and winning the belt, then HHH challenging him for the gold in the WM main event, with Hunter winning.

 

[JGlass]

I'm still picking Cena to win, and if not him, Sheamus. If Sheamus wins he should challenge Edge and they should leave a Triple H return off the table until after Mania. I know that sucks, because Triple H is always a name you want at Mania, but unless the WWE has kept his return under the radar super well (which is possible, they did it with Cena in 08), there's been no news of him coming back.

OK noted. I'll get someone to edit my OP.

I'm picking Cena for the Royal Rumble as well. It's either him or Sheamus or a returning HHH.

Great thread though Snake, I posted my favourite (apart from Taker/Maven) which is Rikishi eliminating both members of Too Cool after dancing with them in RR 2000....absolute classic guys, wrestling was amazing back then

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I'm going with Alberto to win. It may just be because I'm a mark for him, but I think he's going to WrestleMania. It's destiny after all.

As for your thread rattlesnake, I posted the Big Show eliminating Angle in 04'. That was spectacular.

Yeah that's a nice one too. I think I'll post about Daniel Puder's elimination in 2005 if no one else does it. Loved seeing him get punked by Benoit, Guerrero and Holly.

Too Cool would have been great in the PG era, in my opinion. Not main eventers but I can certainly see them being as popular as say R-Truth is these days.

 

[JGlass]

Ahh you took mine Naitch. I thought it was so funny that after he eliminates them he slides on his glasses.

 

[CH David]

Fool.

I'm recording practice spots in my nice little studio as we speak.

DAVID!!!!! What's up, kid?!?

Sorry about the Bears. Well, actually, I'm not...

Wait, wrong picture.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Would be such a bad. Bad. Baaaaaaaaaaaad idea.


ESPECIALLY given the fact I have at least three other serious prospects waiting in the wings, entering into that situation when so much else could be done would be EXTRA fucking stupid....


So sexy though. Dammit.

 

[Ty Burna]

Patience young Norcal, and you will be rewarded.

That and crazy is always something to steer far away from.
