You're also #50. Staying on topic though, OP's mother was 50 when she was a kid?!

Nah I was saying that i was offended that she made it out that only adults get arthritis

You do know that marriage licenses are a recent invention, right? That "stamp on a piece of paper" has only been around for a few hundred years. Before marriage licenses, people simply declared their intentions to be faithful to each other, then started living together as husband and wife. And if she wants to get married early, you shouldn't be a judgmental asshole. You're not the one who married her, so I don't see why you have any right to give a **** about her marriage. Maybe she loves the man and is ready to settle down. Maybe she got all the wildness and such out when she was younger, so this is what she now wants out of life. Either way, you really don't have the right to give a damn.

A few hundred years? Great Scott! That is long at all considering our current world is 2009 years old and Civilization didnt start til the 1000s! and money is only paper but that only existed for a few hundred years so we shouldnt count that, cars are only hunks of metal nah no more cars. How about your throw away your college decree? You can just say I am smart, i dont need to prove it. ;-)

Yeah, okay, whatever, ass. My main point was that you don't need a marriage license to be faithful to someone you consider your spouse, nor should you be judged for marrying at a young age. Incidentally, paper money is older than just a few hundred years. It appeared in China close to the year 900 AD. And "civilization" started long before that, if the flourishing of trade and culture in the ancient Orient is anything to go by. PS: Please don't confuse the words "degree" and "decree", oh "smart" one.

Hell, if you want to talk about civilization, look an ancient Greece and Rome, both of which had flourishing empires WELL over two thousand years ago.

I was just fooling and Im tired lol but is the Greek Civilization the way we knew it back then the same now? lol Exactly, besides that guy above me that is above you the OP of the post you commented is an idiot. I was basing the world on the last 2009 years

Ahh, the REAL question is: is ANY civilization the way it was thousands of years ago? Forgive any snappishness on my part, by the way....I'm two sheets to the wind, well on the way to being happily drunk. Trying to put off a term paper for a few more days. Groan.

Hey skippy, we all have a right to give a damn. Considering that the OP posted it, what the hell did you expect she she would get?

I expected comments on her crackling bones, not on her marriage or age. And besides that, "enjoying the benefits of marriage" is a polite, high-society way of saying "*******". It has less to do with the actual marriage event and more to do with the consummation of said marriage.

I think civilization started in 1985, because that's the year my house was built. Before that year, there was nothing here but an empty lot. So... civilization is much more recent than the invention of marriage licenses. At least according to what I think, which sounds about as reasonable as any of the rest of the nonsense everyone esle is spewing here.

RJB - "civilisation didn't start til the 1000s"?? Are you serious? Then what were the Ancient Romans? Some random savage tribe wandering the wilderness? Pretty sure they were a pretty damn huge civilisation.

xD ^^^This. My boyfriend asked me why my jaw kept popping. I told him that my jaw, for some reason, partially dislocates itself when I open or close my mouth, because of a surgery. He immediately thought of the benefits he could possibly receive from it...along the lines of my mouth and his...er....area. Oh, yes, only think about fellatio. Nevermind that it can sometimes hurt like a bitch when my jaw pops out of its socket. Men. *rolls eyes*
