Well seeing as this forum was just launched I think we should devote a thread to ourselves. So what better way to get things started then by telling us who you all are. I will start with myself.

I am a 19 year old male who lives in queensland, Australia. I am currently attending the University of the Sunshine Coast and i am doing a Science degree. I have done army basic training and hope to get into the airforce very soon. I am a mad rugby league fan and enjoy discussing current events issues and anything to do with the military.

TheSystem · Aug 28, 2003, 09:36 am

Let's see:

I'm a 17 year old male from Germany and I am currently going to a highschool-like school. I'm currently looking forward to enroll myself to an university in computer science and my interests are computers (programming), politics, economy, and ethics.

That's nearly all about me!

Well, I'm 17, male and from Germany aswell and I'm attending grade 12 at an Gymnasium (comparably with senior-high I think...) and hope to study media/communication design (or philosophy or something completely different) later. My interests are (digital)art, photography, literature, music, mountain biking and languages.

21 years old from Montreal,Canada. Graduated as an Industrial designer in 2002, currently in my first year of BA in graphics design. My other interests are photography, travelling, music and I'm a big snowboarding fanatic.

Guess that makes the the oldster so far. I am a 37 year old male, in the last year of my Electrical Engineering course plan. So I am currently accumulating debt(lol). If you see a dropped letter here and there I am at class, because I am not used to this little keyboard yet. I am an American, living in the state of Texas.

18 year old from Washington State, USA. I am attending college this fall and I will be majoring in chemistry and biology, with a business minor. I have been interning for a real-estate company for the last year and a half, and they recently hired me full time.

Johnson · Aug 28, 2003, 03:15 pm

18 male, also from WA state.

i like politics, current events, exotic pets, the rest you'll find out.

STDestiny · Aug 28, 2003, 03:53 pm

I'm a 19-year-old male living just outside of Washington, DC--the perfect location for a political debater, i think. :) I'm currently attending the local community college (It's cheaper) studying for a transfer to a four-year school where I plan to earn a degree in Communications. I really enjoy web design, and of course Star Trek (as evidenced by my nick and web site).

Well im a 17 year old male from Long Island NY(US). I am currently attending a Highschool and am in 12th grade... I havent really made up my mind as to what i will do with myself after Highschool but i am definityley going to college, probably going to pursue a jounalism major or an english major.

I am also very interested in art... mainly digital art, design, web design and other new media... Another Career i had in mind for myself is a photo journalist. The thought of traveling the world and selling photos to magazines and other editorials just seems like a great way to live.

ok im done! nice to meet you all :)

I forgot to add that I have an opinion on everything, and am not hesitant to post them. As evidinced by my involvement in every discussion currently in progress...so I cannot keep my big mouth shut. (lol)

EDIT: maybe I should put in a request for a spell checker...

Heh, I made my CCNA a year ago :p What's so ridiculous about it? Anything I should know about the rep of the CCNA?

Hi,

My name is Mary and I am a 17 (turning 18 next month) who lives in Alabama (hooray.) I'm still undecided on a college or major, but my interest is in photography.

18 year old male, union carpenter (imagine that lol). Im not that serious of a debater (mostly a form of expression and fun) but i have lots of opinions, especailly those concerning our corrupt government.

The Maestro · Aug 29, 2003, 10:51 pm

16 year old male, living near Princeton, NJ. I'm currently interested in studying graphic and web design. I also kill time attempting some amateur photography, playing plently of video games, listening to a wide variety of music (mainly jazz and hip-hop) and playing the tenor saxophone in a local jazz band. I've got a temporary portfolio site set up where I'm trying to put all of my works. Of course, being a teenager, I'm incredibly cynical and love to stay updated on politics and other current events.

CallMeIshmael · Aug 29, 2003, 11:17 pm

15 year old male from Princeton area New Jersey. Literature, history, science, math, art, all are up for grabs as far as my interests go, but philosophy and the law are my real passions. I'm into ultimate disc, alternative rock, anything that's new and interesting is good for me. I belive that debate is essential to a democracy, even the most hate-filled ideas need to be heard, that's the only way that we'll enjoy the fruits of a society that is truely free, is to have a truely free market place of ideas.

Existentialist philosophy is my specific interest, as far as that goes, i'm a soft-skepticist, which means that i look at every idea as equally true, then determine for myself which is the most true in relation to universal truths... crazy, but that's me.

What Is American Corporatism? <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Corporatism blends socialism and capitalism not by giving each control of different parts of the economy, but by combining socialism's promise of a government-guaranteed flow of material goods with capitalism's private ownership and management.</span> <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Legislative representation is given to industries and workers' societies.
