What's up with ppl in their 30s?

Some trivia .

On old chinaman once said

"To be old and wise one must first be young and stupid"

SARGE simplified it to

"Young, Dumb and Full of Cum"

Something from the Harold the other day.

"At 15 a boy thinks his father knows nothing at 20 he wonders how his father learnt so much in 5 years"

But

does Sidewinder really call your name out during sex ?

Call me pedantic or worse, but I like quotes to be accurate and properly sourced, as far as possible, and I think this one is due to Mark Twain

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

Or so says http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/1343

It would be nice to pin it down with more certainty.

You still crying about that? I thought you were a big brave all growed up 23 year old?

BTW - you will find that the tone people use to 'tell' you things is largely determined by the question or statement that leads them to do it. Posting a 'controversial' (I would've just said DUMB) thread about the comedy quotient of an ad that shows a drunk adult injuring and possibly killing a small child is not funny...AND I called you a 'loser' - I have no idea if you are looser...I mean as opposed to what?

SIGNED a pompous, self righteous 30 something wanker

this of course involves questioning ones motives and thinking critically from your own and a "outside" perspectives.
to put simply, you have to think "i could be wrong" when debating something and stay open to that thought.
your fully correct with the black and white concept, and i believe the close ,minded will never see the many opportunities that are in front of them

Nice post dude and well said

When you turn 30 you realise that you have to get a better job to support the things that you managed to get everyone else to pay for in your 20s. Pay back your $40404840 student loan which you needed because a nighttime job would have interferred with your drinking/shagging time and life doesnt seem so easy anymore.
So you spend your time warning 20 somethings to watch out for what is coming. By the time your 40 you have settled and worked hard enough that there is light at the end of the tunnel and decided that if you went through the 30s then the spoilt little 20 somethings can damn well go through it too.

I resent that comment!!

sucks to be you then. I am mid 30 which means I dont listen to what you have to say and by the time you get your point across, mainly because while making your point you will be interupted by drinking and wild sex, I will be in my 40s so I wont care anyway.....

You clearly haven't lived with being a full time tertiary student and a part of the ONLY sector of society that does not get a pittance to live off right up to 25 (in spite of the fact you are making an effort to improve your own - and arguably your community and economy's situation - unlike an otherwise-healthy long term unemployed person)

Your choices:

A) Work a retarded ammount of hours doing a shitty job at the cost of your grades, zest for life and health - partying and shagging does not even enter the equation here. You seem to think this is a good idea to pass through tertiary education like this.

or

B) be part of the only sector of society that must borrow to live so that you are not so fucked from working 30 odd hours a week on top of full time study that your grades are shot. Still not a great scope for partying and shagging all the time.

or

C) Have rich parents. Speaks for itself.

Most fall into B soley because twats who were educated for free decided it was a good idea to implement a 'market' model in education and saddle a whole generation with huge debts.

I dream that one day I may have a house, children and time to enjoy with my family without having to work every hour in the day just to keep the wolf from the door. Not so long ago that wouldn't have been much of an ask...

University culture is dead. It's not a fun way to start adult life with both partners saddled with debt - don't make light of it. Some of us have not lived the high life as students.

You opened the door to that rant.

**cowboyz** · 5th February 2009, 20:54

go up palmytown any night of the week and you will find the clubs packed with students. Of course they will give some reason why they need to blow off steam and how hard their lives are.

I, and by choice, changed my carrer at 32yrs old. Have a home, wife, couple of kids, 43hr week job and I studying in a 3 yr course.

Oh I am not complaining of my plight. I could give you wisdom beyond your years with me being in my 30s and all but with all the work I have on I feel like more in my 40s so basically cant be fucked.

You really want me to answer that?

Fuck life must be a bitch for you. Having all these problem thrust on you with no control over them.

Why do it then?
