I was roaming on Last.fm in the forums, and I found a group there for people born in 1993, which astounded because it sometimes doesn't occur to me that people born in 1993 would be old enough to use the Internet. It just seems like those people should still be like 5. Word.

A 17-year-old posted a cheap shot, "Do your mothers know you're not on Yahooligans?" to the 12 and 13 year olds.

Someone responded with "discrimeinasion against these of a particularrly age grouped will not stand . who agrees cares what year you wre born in it cant be helped! its the same think as being of mean to african americans because they were born african ameri can they cant help it so you shouldent b like that to them or to us! ONE DAY TWEENS WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!! fucker"

I probably shouldn't have chimed in, but it was leering at me, wanting to say something probably as equally cheap, "Not with that grammar." I even added a little winking smiley face, which can make the different between a joke and a firestorming attack on the nation, on the Internet subtlety meter.

That Someone posts on my profile's "shoutbox" (sorta like a quippy comments section on the page): "are you gay" and so I responded with "Why, are you hitting on me?" He comes back with, "not at al" and while I should've been offended he would leave me for Al, he posts right after, "my dad says your going to hell."

Ah, the youth. Admittedly, that last period wasn't actually his, so maybe it should be put outside the quotation marks... I tried to keep it light: "I've always enjoyed travel." All I get back is "do you even no what hell is?" He seems concerned, here. He wants to make sure I didn't just put my foot in my mouth and confuse it with the new Ibiza-esque gay-vacay destination. Because I would be embarrassed.

How he responds to "I've learned that it's a threat proposed by righteous individuals who have no evidence of it's existence, to promote fear of the masses," should be fun. Fighting with 13 year olds is the best! Especially when their goal to spread "discrimeinasion."
