So I guess if this female gunner who just killed bad guys is 18, dewdroplet would say she is still a child. To me that isn't a child. That's a woman.
Yes, I would still consider her a child. A child that has seen action and killed bad guys.
I think you really need to get over how I see things. I'm not trying to push my views on anyone else unlike you. I'm not trying to get YOU to see them as children. I'm simply saying that this is how I see them. What is wrong with you?

Well, what would it take for her to be an adult, in your estimation? She made a decision that someone's life had to be taken away, and she took that life. If she wasn't mature before joined the Army, she is now.

Sure you are. In the context of this discussion you are. If neither of us cared about our opinions or wanted to share them with the other we wouldn't be on this web site talking about it.

Let me ask you this, have you parented an 18 year old? Have you dated an 18 year old?

No, I'm not. Not in the context of this discussion, not on the web site, not in real life, not anywhere. I don't care how other people feel about 18 year olds. I simply view them as children. Can you please LET IT GO. Stop talking about me in other posts. Stop trying to change my mind. Stop trying to guilt me into saying that I would sleep with an 18 year old. Stop. Just stop. This is my opinion. You aren't going to change it by trying to bully me, guilt me, assuage me, or anything else. I think the world will go on just fine if I stay married to my husband and don't start sleeping with or having relationships with 18 year olds. I think the world will go on just fine if I continue to view 18 year olds as children.

No to both. I've never dated anyone. Of course I'm not looking for a date. I want a friendship that transitions into a relationship without dating strangers.

Well, you're here talking, so we assume there's a point to you being here talking. If you truly did not care, in any sense, then you wouldn't respond to me at all.

What are you talking about? I get the feeling that there is a major misunderstanding in tone here. Sorry about that but I'm not angry on my end. I'm afraid all this drama is coming from you, dewdroplet76.

No one suggested otherwise.
I'm responding to you because you keep bringing me up in posts to other people. Like I said, let it go.

There still appears to be a misunderstanding in tone. I'm not holding anything to let go.
I think perhaps you think that I'm one of the inexperienced males on here who is bitter toward women, but I actually am not. Please note that this is the only username I have ever had on this web site. Yes I am a virgin, no I'm not bitter about it. Depressed, but not bitter or angry or any other negative emotion directed at anyone.
