It's very difficult, for some of us, not make a note of your age when it is so painfully obvious to us.
That being said, I understand that some people are more mature than their age would indicate, and that is why I (and most others) do not discriminate against young people before we get to know them.
But in the case of Majot, he has shown us with his various recruitment threads that he is not mature enough to lead a successful clan.
When someone acts like this, we tend to say that the reason he is acting so immaturely is because of his age.
And, frankly, he'd better hope we're right... because the alternative is far worse.
So, you see, making a note of your age is actually a good thing... because we're saying that the reason you're acting so immaturely is because you're young... and not because you're dumb.
Understand, 40k? It also applies to you, but to a lesser extent because you're a bit older (and therefore act more maturely).
And don't read too much into the simple word, "maturity" that I have been using. There are many indicators, but I am not an expert in Child Physiology/Psychology (I don't even know what field this pertains to), and I do not wish to delve into that issue.
For the most part, we are not discriminating against you before we read what you write... we read what you write, and then say to ourselves, "well, that's stupid... but he's still young, and his brain is still maturing, so it's okay."
comander i have a couble questions for you
1.how old do you think i am? because when i tell people my age they dont think its right.
2.yes it is obvious that kids dont have fully developed brains, but do you have a fully developed brain? im guessing you dont have as much as a grampa because they have more years to become wiser and such.
and now for a final statement
if you judge a person by a age regardless of if there brain is developed whats different then judging people by the color of skin? a kid can do just as many things as adults. look at all the movies. how many kids are in there? there is at least one in a lot of them. do you think they get paid? yes they do. more and more kids are taking on responsibility for paying for college and cars. i have a job and im not old enough to vote yet. so a kid can do plenty of things an adult can we can have jobs we can act in movies and we even get in trouble for our actions.
