I can't help myself when I see stupid generalizations.

You are the first one to jump on someone about flaming, then you turn around and do it yourself. You can be a moderator without being an ass...

Insulting your argument or statement does not equal to insulting you directly. Insulting an argument is valid whereas insulting you constitutes flaming.

i heard melwin eats babies, fyi ^^

[rizzen04]

according to the Jargon Dictionary, the term 'flaming' originates at MIT1 from the phrase 'flaming asshole'. The definition of 'flame' on this site goes on to define flaming in the following four ways:

To post an email message intended to insult and provoke.

To speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude.

Either of senses 1 or 2, directed with hostility at a particular person or people.



Guess you are right...heh

I guess I should have gone on to say that, in the United States, the way the laws are set and the way society looks at alcohol among minors, they make it out to be such a bad thing that alot of under age drinkers use it as more of a party substance rather then a casual drink. You dont see a 15 year old sitting down to dinner with a beer, they drink to get hammered. I cannot say that ALL minors do this but a good percentage do. I apologize for not being very clear in my statement.

Thats also not to say that many adults dont do the same thing, nor can I say that I have not been there and done that as well.

Tons of adults drink to get hammered way up their late 20s. It's exactly the same way here, but it's not a youth-specific argument at all so it's completely moot to bring it up.

I have a beer or two with some friends after class occasionally and we just sit down to cool out, but behavior like that generally makes people view you like a drunkard much more than partying does. :P
