Must be nice to be so worldly aware and completely ignorant of reality/facts at such an advanced age! Ultimate in self absorbency.

Personally, I've never felt "bulletproof" about anything, at any time.
Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

More likely the exact opposite. As Dirty Harry use to say"

Your making my case Chuck.....you said man. 18-22 years of age is by no means in today’s world a man. Take it from someone that currently has a 22 year old son.

Just trying to get the quote right. By the time I was 22 I was beginning to realize how smart my elder's actually were.

My own kids never gave me much in the way of grief from birth till today (they were born in the mid 80's). As cautious as I am, they make me seem like a dare devil.

Age alone does not make a man.

For a place, that seems to be full of wisdom, and steeped in intellect. I’m surprised and astonished that it would take nearly a full page on this thread to convey a simple point. So let me try again.

The 18 to 22 year old range seems to be a bit more carefree about life.
Generally they are not over concerned about health, a bit reckless and more likely to take chances. No, not all are like that, for example there’s Chuck who was a bit more reserved between the ages of 18 and 22. :lol:
