    seriously, it's depressing to see all of these 13 year olds obsessed with programming
    Programming is good.
    It's even more depressing to see 13 year olds obsessed with drugs.
    Now that's bad.

    Relatively speaking, yes, but there are also a lot better things you could be doing at thirteen than programming, aka living a life.

    I'm just saying it's not very healthy to be obsessed with programming at 13 (or in this case, 8?!).

    Oh it's not healthy?
    Do you really think I spend my whole day programming?
    There's enough time to do other things. It just replaces the time other children spend on playing computer games.

    Actually, I was talking about aron who said that programming was all he ever knew. I didn't even know you were 13.

    And I'm not saying it's not ok to program that young, just don't let it consume your life.

    You're the one who took offense to it, so you should probably consider doing that yourself.

    O! It's really very relaxing to know...

    But wait!! I thought it is not some kind of dating service? Why I should be interested to know your real age? You want me to be jealous to you that I'll miss all these great future technologies that I'll be too old to use and you'll be freely using in 20-30 year? Don't you?!

    I'm 14. I'm not responsible for what I say yet.

    It is just an illusion. We all are responsible for what we are doing... But we can lie to ourselves...

    You could've just left out the bold part, because it means nothing in GD.

    But yes, it's time to make a new thread like this

    That's an excellent idea. Done.
    My best code is written with the delete key.
