I'm quite curious as to who put >60. The only person I know of here that might fit that category is DCF, but there are 5 people on there.
pro: women's rights

The votes from the poll do not equal the amount of players in the NS forums fanbase, which has thousands of players, inactive or active, so not necessarily.

outside of mating rituals, age doesn't need to be a group within any kind of grouping based on shared common interests.

the only reason we need age apartheid on line
is backward headed rule makers (politicians of more then one ideology)
who have made laws to shut down websites that don't practice it.

if people only meet each other on opposite ends of a modem, in vastly distant parts of the world,
what the flocking difference does their physical age have to do with anything?

of course i understand the potential for problems, but seriously,
model railroading, furry, science fiction, architecture, resource management, infrastructure,
the list of possible topics, which are not porn, is endless.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I'm assuming that a) the poll results are reasonably representative of the full population, b) that the results are, if anything, skewed high because of the age limit on the forum, and c) my numbers are conservative in any case, because both my age and my nation's age were mid-range in their respective bands, and I was taking only those in definitely lower bands.
Even in Antiquity, all the good names were already taken.

I answered truthfully, but I think some have been a bit loose with their interpretation of the truth.

Shocking to say the least on how many 12 year olds there are who dare violate the law and proclaim it in public!

Also shocking how there’re no reports on this. :P

As for the daily written reports on the poll, i’ll stop them until after the PRELIMINARY REPORTS (on July 27) are out. I’m having a busy week at school, with many things to rush and I won’t have as much time on NationStates as I may have.

Well the fact it currently reads about 250 people and only 46% claim to be under 20 is a surprise. I cannot accept that this is accurate.
