It was a surreal experience for me.<br /><br />Steve Malley, Yes, you may be right about the age orientation of the quiz itself. And it's good to be abnormal, I agree. I had you pegged for a high score. :)Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-87566155565997886222009-11-23T13:55:45.690-06:002009-11-23T13:55:45.690-06:00Dude, the question itself shows our age.

But your Trek affection suggests wisdom beyond your years. Yes, DS9 was so different than any Trek before or sense. I was not a big fan of VOyager either, but TNG and the new Enterprise are good.<br /><br />Tom Bailey, ahh, that explanation for why a man might like vampires is spot on. I had not thought of that.

That's so mean :) j/k<br /><br />For the record, I am 28, but I did grow up watching all the original Star Trek episodes and eventually went on to the Next Generation, Voyager and sadly Deep Space 9 ugh.. hehe.

So am I. Here is something to consider though, age has been an insane concept since we were teens. Consider how the media blasts us with an expectations and impresses us with what we should and should not do from an age perspective. As teens we are shown a hottie in around twenty or so and told this is what we should want. And we want! But as we hit our thirties, we're told we should change our wants, and yet we're still being blasted with over and sublimnal images of the same twenty year old hottie. And by the time we're fifty, after thirty years of pounding with the same images, we're told if we leer and lust at that forced object of sexuality that we're perverts.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />I'm sure the feminists will cringe at this. But how do they know I'm not applying the same to women or how do they know I'm not talking about a male admiring a male hottie.<br /><br />So it's about ageism, sexism, and gender discrimination. <br /><br />Thanks for the quiz.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.
