Do you like kid entrepreneurs?

Physical age doesn't matter at all to me. I'm more interested in knowledge and how someone handles him or herself. I've seen "kids" who were totally professional, delivered on their promises, etc. And I've seen completely unprofessional, untrustworthy senior citizens act like complete ______[insert your own naughty word here]______.

Steve --

Ha -- by your description I'm a kid (a 35 year old kid). I'll try to keep my music down.

*snaps gum*

no, many of them have no jobs, and unending amounts of energy.

Back in the days when everyone else here lived with mom and dad, didnt have a 40 hour a week job and could stay up until 3am, and get up at 7 for weeks on end, had IM been an interest, the same would have probably happened.

Plus many of them are blowing smoke. I remember a story about a kid dabbling in pennystocks a few years ago and he basically shot the stock up because he spammed half the country with 'hey check out this stock'.

Didnt take skill, didnt take knowledge, just took the cajones and the knowledge that they wont prosecute you as an adult

Hi Michael,

I like you and your boldness too.

Of course they would, but that's par for the course. I'd still tell him to wind his scrawny neck in - this is not the Microsoft forum. Some people fawn over others, some don't. I try and lead by example in order that some may notice - and perhaps realise that even people in authority don't respect ass-kissing. They realise that most of them will run after the next guru at a moment's notice (no loyalty) and they more than likely have more respect for those that are like them - independent self-starters with balls and attitude.

So I find your point above a bit moot - akin to stating the obvious.
'Beloved socialist UK'?

Are you kidding? You don't know me, or my views on my country and how it's run - but it's not particularly difficult to get 'wind' of them.

And your attempts to twist my points are fruitless. Allow me to explain -

If Joe Schmoe is totally out of order in here, and Joe Guru is too, are you suggesting that Joe Guru is going to get preferential treatment? In most cases he gets it worse. That's the kind of 'equality' I was talking about. I explained it clearly enough the first time.

That's got nothing to do with it. It's exactly as I said. Your constant boasting and 7-figure dropping is going to attract those who will test your mettle - as it is.

There's a subtle difference between 'referring to past business experiences' and boasting and re-posting your hustler's life story. Don't put words in my mouth.

Please link to examples of these 'lots of people' posting their clickbank/paypal screenshots on here to prove their income. I think you're confusing 'salespages across the internet' or warrior special offers with warrior forum posts.

Take a look at my first post to you - (post #53) -

You've managed to twist this into me telling you how to behave on the forum, and trying to tell you what you can and can't post.

That won't wash here.

But hypocrites will eventually be nudged - because it's not just about you, or me. It's also about all of the people who are reading and following along - particularly those who are trying to find their feet and their voice.

You are most likely completely genuine, but for every genuine person who has made a ton of money, there are also 50 fakers joining trying to rip people off.

Awe gee - I guess I just got that idea because you thought cheating your friends was funny, cute, or in anyway creative or clever. I won't bother with the "porn" all little boys are curious and I can see just about any 13 year old kid doing that if they had the pics in possession - but overtly cheating friends is not "normal" childhood mischief, it's conniving.

Remember the kid that made millions and used their knowledge for the good of all? Some people are not conniving, some are. Period - age is not the focal factor in that one.

I have also made mistakes, yes - but being purposefully mean and conniving was never one of them. That isn't something people do because they are young. Not everyone exploits someone else for money because they are young. It wasn't that you did that when you were 13 - it's how you look at it now that is troublesome to me. Frankly - every post I've seen by you in here supports that you might not deal real. Sorry - the psycholinguistic patterns don't add up to what you say you are trying to convey.

My boo-boos did not include conniving people out of money or possessions. It's not the fact that you made a mistake that showed a lack of character at 13 that rubs me - it's the fact you bring it back years later as an example of youthful entrepreneurial spirit rather than con artist chicanery that puts me off - and that, not a boo-boo - is how your post purports that action.

I'd never put myself in a position in which I needed to depend on you to "get my back" and I'd never buy a product from you. You can back pedal from here to eternity - I wouldn't trust you. Take it or leave it -- that's what I gathered from your posts.

You might not give a crap what I think, no skin off my nose either way - but you might want to wonder how many others feel the same if you are trying to sell stuff in here. I told you how I felt and you attempt to back pedal and slam me around, LOL. I don't know how old you are - but you aren't listening to potential customers - I'm not the only one reacting to you in manners that are not conducive to business. You can scream about that all you want - but just make sure you keep some of those playtex for yourself, because if you are the entrepreneur you think you are, you know damned well, the bottom line isn't you.


Now you think you are a special challenge? Holy crap. Unbelievable.
Good for your mommy. Maybe you can grow up to be like Bernie Merdoff and make her
REAL proud.

Nice try - It was you who poked fun at a signature - the comment (of which you have omitted enough to render senseless - was in jest pointing out how ridiculous it was of you slander someone else's business in such an effete manor. Your attempt to denigrate Val by taking a shot at her signature was duly noted -- and not much of a step up from your business tactics at age 13. Still lacks integrity and character. If you had something real to say, you wouldn't have had to go for an underhanded attack. But what else would we expect from you at this point? Character? LOL, yeah that'll happen. BTW - the fallacy of omission in the last statement shows that you don't have much to go on toward me either. I love to play poker with people who just don't know when to fold their hand. Perhaps you should keep some of those playtex for your own personal use instead of handing them out. Tantrums will give you a nosebleed.

As far as your mommy never suggesting you do drugs for any reason.......... That's good, very good. Mommy's aren't supposed to. I, however - ain't your mommy. And being that they don't even make the stuff the way they did back then, you would have no way to even reference what exactly I said to you - the statement wasn't really FOR you. It was for those of us old enough to have known people that used to take spirit trips -- and it was said in jest. Perhaps I should have clarified that with a smilie so as not to confuse you.
But then, such a wise worldly kid as yourself should be able to ascertain how those two URLs can coexist without contradiction. If you are going to slam on it - you should be able to understand the issue first. That was the issue and focus of the jest.......you just missed it. Just another reason that kids come off as silly when they become pompous.


As far as dealing with kids in business -- in my field you do it without question if the kid knows what their talking about. They can know the rock association of beryl or tourmaline just as well as any adult - and if they know, you listen if you're going to find the gems. Age doesn't fit into the equation.

I'm not listening to you. Go figure.
