Younger Members of MLN

[jruppert]

I want to reiterate some good information that has recently been discussed on the facebook site. Man Law #39 states "Man Will Pass These Man Laws On To Everyone. Child Is Able To Start Learning Man Laws Once He Can Walk."

My reasoning for this thread is that there has been a rash of posts (mainly from high schoolers, but not exclusively) for new man laws and rebuttles to topics that are just completely random thoughts or stupid bullshit. As a result, there is quite a bit of animosity toward our younger brethren. What I would like to tell the younger members is to put some thought and/or research into what you are writing. A lot of manly discussion has taken place on the site about a wide variety of topics. Most of the men involved in these discussions have also been in MLN for quite some time. So it's understandable that when kids come on and post something that has been discussed at great length, people get upset. And rightfully so. The best example of this is the Mulligan. Being part of MLN is a privledge and should be treated as such. Younger males are encouraged to look to the "seasoned" members of MLN for guidance. We are here to teach and pass down our knowledge and wisdom. In order for Man Law to grow and have a future we will need our younger brethren to be schooled properly.

...I've rambled long enough.

I agree, part of it could be the fact that as adults we can see the merit in these types of disscussion, whearas the youth just see it as masogonistic fun. That is cool and all but when the bullshit starts to pile up it has to be cleaned out.

I agree to an extent. The younger members of our society can become bothersome when they themselves become so uppity that they dictate to the real Men what is and is not acceptable. While we must educate the youth, I am a firm believer of spare the phonebook spoil the child. Case in point: The young Man who posted his question about 104. I tried to handle that by showing him the error of his ways in a manner that was condusive to his growth as a Man Conversly, as is the case with many children these days, with the exception of the Doucettes, the kids are posting useless filth that pollutes our sacred grounds of Manhood, i.e. Suzy Stockton (Formerly known as Stocky) and all of the advertisers on the board. These youths need a firm hand holding a hard phonebook to teach them the difference between right and wrong.

Here is what I use as a guide:

If the post is respectful, well intentioned, and has a legitimate point or question not covered, or not covered for some time, then the youngster can be straightened out verbally.

If the post is rude, disrespectful, annoying, or detrimental to MLN, then the offending child is to be struck with a phonebook, ridiculed in return, and suffer the suspension/revocation of his ManCard.

lets get it down to be basics, be polite and realize that not being arrogant or anything that us who came up with this idea for this forum and what not are men of high respects. We've been through much and how learned alot despite our age we are wise. Now if younger members show respect in their postings i will give them the same, but if they believe they are true men at the age of 15/16/ im coming out swinging phone book in hand.
