Re: Forum gossip thread by formosan

Do you get along with older and younger posters equally?

Face to face in real life you don't see a lot of older people hanging out for long periods of the day with younger people or vice versa. On the forums you have no choice if you want to stay. For example the poster on Memebee who uses the handle GAMBINO will be a Senior Citizen in less than a decade. I am not sure who the younger posters are. In real life I have friends who are both younger and older. When I was working at Moli Energy some of the entry level positions were filled by eighteen and nineteen year olds. These are the people I ended up hanging out with the most outside of work.

I don't pay attention to age, gender, race or much else..



It's nice to get to talk with a diverse group of people.

I pay attention to gender. I find there are a few men posing as women on forums. As a Christian this disturbs me. At least blurt aknowledges he is a man and you can tell by the avatar picture.

Are you a Christian Minaeni?

I grew up as a Christian so I guess it has shaped who I am, but I no longer go to church and my mother is now a Buddhist.

Once you are saved it can never be taken away Minaeni..



"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect" (1 Peter 1:18-19). The word "redeemed" refers to a purchase being made, a price being paid. For a Christian to lose salvation, God Himself would have to revoke His purchase that He paid for with the precious blood of Christ.

generation gap is likely an issue to youngers who try to get along with elders. of course, we are supposed to show our respect to them, but i will feel weird being friend with the elders.

Age doesn't even come into play for me. In fact, how do we really know how old any of us really are?

Yeah, like how you claim to be 40, but we are all thinking 26.

Are you saying I act like a child or are you just being nice to the old lady?
