I collect tanks. That being said I only purchase used tanks that I can get for next to nothing prices. I plan on building a 3000-4000 gal coldwater tank in my garage sometime in the future, and am in the process of building a few small ponds that fall into one another in my front yard, BUT I love the fact that I can watch at least 2 tanks in every room of my house. They might not all be monster tanks but my betta, my platties, and my guppies hardly need a monster tank to be relaxing to watch.

But you sound determid, some people will just say later, later , later until it's actually stressing/hurting the fish

To be old and wise you
Must be young and stupid.

And I go on MFK after school to and before and sometimes when am in Charcter Building class and it gets boring

i think that mfk should actually have a small annual fee opposed to an age limit. $10-20 a year. It'd eliminate a lot of people who don't take this site seriously

Fees are great for keeping serious people involved in discussion but it also decreases the amount of members. I'm a member of several forums that have annual fees and they are great but not as active as this place. However if you want real information and not some kid googling your info for you they are much better.

I really don't get what you are trying to prove, it sounds to me like you are the one being ignorant at the moment.

Sure some wisdom comes with age, but some people acquire it faster than others. I know TONS of adults who are extremely irresponsible and full of ignorance, so saying that age is the limiting factor is just silly.

Obviously you are just stereotyping children and saying that most of them are stupid; that just isn't the case. I'm sure there are children that are smarter than you are, I will at least admit that some people who are younger than I are smarter than me. I really can't understand why you believe so strongly that knowledge and common sense is based on age, it just isn't...

I have been keeping fish on my own for about 6 years now. I have more experience than some people, that's just how it works. Compared to some people on this website that is very little, but compared to others that is a lot.

What I am trying to say is, don't be so thick skulled, and at least try to read a book farther than the first chapter.

You either didn't read or are incapable of understanding my posts. Are you a teen?

If there was a fee for people 16 and below teens like me would just put fake birthdays...

indeedy, same with snakes.
shame but theres nothing we can do about it. at least with snakes they get their own back...fish cant :-(

Nothing we can do?
Start by not having kids - after all it must be about the most environmentally friendly thing a human can do-ban the breeders!

I read and understood exactly what you posted. Maybe you just poorly worded your ideas.

Nope. I was about to quote the things I posted to this entry, but why? I reread everything, and it is as clear as it can be without lapsing into a 10,000 word essay. You might disagree, but if you don't comprehend it..... it's on you. I admitted that I was making generalizations and that not all young people were irresponsible or ignorant. All I was saying is that it is naturally more prevalent in the young. Law of nature stuff here, not an opinion. The only thing you are proving is that you are not one of the "exceptions."

Now now, Don't try to sound all big and tough with your Big words You can be young and intelligent or be young and stupid, Don't charge teens like me just because you think we are not as smart as all of you, We learn as everyone does everyday, The judgement I'm seeing in the people who support an age limit is amazing. This is like segregation just not as extreme, Before you post thoroughly think through what you are about to say and don't sound like a jerk who thinks they are smarter than younger people. All of you were 13,14,15 and 16 before and don't try to act like you were born an 18 year old. I think this discussion should be ended as of now just because of the fact that this arguing is pointless and stupid and is wasting all of our time by thinking that fish keeping should be a hobby only for adults and people that are younger cannot enjoy the same hobby, This is pretty sad and I'm extremely disappointed in the adults, All of you should be smarter than this and not try to act mature when you are sounding just like a 12 year old. The flaming is pointless and the mutilation of one another is pointless. Stop this useless conversation and act your age.
