But what in god's name does this mean: "sorta he get's his grandmother to liesure plex"?
See my other post.

Havoc 02-20-2005 09:59 AM

Eh... say what? lol

Alpha 02-20-2005 10:01 AM

I mean he doesn't really take his "girlfriend" out to dinner, he just get's his grandmother to take him places with her which technically isn't dating

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 10:01 AM

I'm sorry, I'm not from the future. What is a leisure plex? Do they have telescreens there? Is Big Brother watching me?

Havoc 02-20-2005 10:04 AM

I think its like a mall or something :P

Your absolutely right about kids btw Raisin, kids are hell! Everything underneath the age of 12 is to be conciderd a terrorist threat :P.

I'm guessing leisure plex is a Leisure Centre near where this Grandma-Dater lives.

Alpha 02-20-2005 10:06 AM

It's a kind of Arcade in Ireland. It's filled with arcade games and blowling allies and brill fun stuff like that.
If you ever go to Ireland head to your nearest liersure plex now!

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 10:07 AM

Thank you, Alpha. Phew. It was that simple. An arcade. Man, you've got some crazy lingo. "Leisure Plex". I thought the UK was going all Brave New World or something for a second there. Five-year-olds going to the "Leisure Plex" . . . doesn't sound right.

Look how much space we've taken up with our talk of Leisure Plexes! Wow!

Rich 02-20-2005 10:12 AM

:

1. What is a Leisure Centre? 2. Is it the UK equivalent of a mall? A mall is a large building with many small retail outlets selling all kinds of overpriced crap. They usually also have several small food and drink vendors such as Orange Julius and Ivar's. Is that your "Leisure Centre"?
1. A Leisure Centre is a place where people go to do leisure activities. Mostly Sport where I live. The local one has a Swimming Pool, Tennis courts, Indoor Sports area ect...
2. No. A Mall would be a shopping centre or something...

The guy isn't refering to what I'm talking about.

Alpha 02-20-2005 10:13 AM

Hello , that's big!!.
So anyway who here think's that's dating or am I in denial?

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 10:14 AM

So a Leisure Plex is an arcade and a Leisure Centre is like the equivalent of a YMCA, and a shopping centre is a mall. Got it.

That's totally not dating. What an arrogant little kid. "Look at me, I'm dating! Whee!" Fool.

Rich 02-20-2005 10:16 AM

Yeah, thats it.

The next person to mention a Leisure Plex gets a good beating. :p

Alpha 02-20-2005 10:16 AM

Congrat's Raisen, you have now entered 2005.

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 10:19 AM

Heh. Well shyaddap, I live in the U.S.

Kids should play/hang out/be friends, not date. Brave New World seems so shocking and weird, but jeez, we're not that far off. And if that doesn't mean anything to you then read Brave New World because any synopsis I give won't do such a fantastic novel justice.

Alpha 02-20-2005 11:17 AM

Brave new world?, it's just stupid.

smerles 02-20-2005 12:59 PM

That book? Stupid? Ah no... I'm afraid it's very realistic resp. became very realistic over the past years...

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 01:06 PM

Alpha, you're just making yourself look worse and worse every time you post something. Seriously now. In fact, I almost find it hard to believe you've read Brave New World.

Anyway, I was just pointing out that, while it's a long way off, this whole children dating thing could be construed as the first step toward that kind of future.

You rock with the mad funny. Fo' real.

But I don't think a person is supposed to find their soul mate when they're ten . . .

And even if they do, do they really need to go out for that? They're ten. Are they really going to talk about anything on a "date" that they wouldn't talk about on the playground? It seems like being friends with someone can tell one more than enough to know if one is really interested. Of course I could be wrong. I have no experience, per se, in this matter. :p No wait, that's not it. :| That's more like it.



i'm not saying they'll find it when they're ten.



but dating when you are younger does help you get accustomed to what the opposite sex is like.


in any case, it doesn't matter. ten-year olds are really serious about anything. another important facet of any relationship is sex.

sex is necessary in a healthy relationship.



and ten-year old just don't have the goods.

Havoc 02-20-2005 03:12 PM

Please don't start about ten-year olds having sex, that just gives me some realy strange image O.o.
Im actualy wondering how this topic ever started. So preteens take girls they like to the movies or to the local cafeteria. I was in love with a girl when I was that age, I took her to a cafeteria once too. We went to the pool together too. Did I see it as a date? Im sure everyone here has done stuff like that when they were that age. But did you see it as dating? I suppose not.
Where does the topic 'Preteens are dating' come from? Did some kid ever walk up to an adult and told them: 'Hey, Im dating?' with the intent of actualy meaning a romantic dinner and a long steamy night afterwards? I don't think so. Thats our (14 and up) view of dating.

kids do that kind of thing all the time.



liek OMG i like like her!11


it's not really that uncommon.

i was just saying that a relationship isn't healthy without sex or at least some form of intimacy, so that's why dating when you're not really ready is more of a trial by fire.


people were meant to get down and dirty.

thats nothing. Youngest pregnancy was at 9 yrs old. Although it was due to a very unfortunate child rape :(

hope they locked the guy up good....

Klaktu barada nikto?
Out of all threads in existence, not at all would I guess my thread to be deemed worthy of this quote. You are a superior being, TheRaisin.

:

My cousin has a girlfriend and hes 5, well sorta he get's his grandmother to liesure plex every so often but they never kiss or anything intamite like that.
I try to tell him that she's his friend not girlfriend but he say's because he bring's her out on dates it counts as his girlfriend~stupid ain't he?~
To be frank, this is the stupidest excuse for the subject at hand. 5?! Jesus Christ, man, what a peadophile. How old is the dumbass- I mean, male? Really, 5, that's just not right. Such an abuse of the word "Girlfriend".



(Good god, a topic I have created gets to two pages, rejoice.)

I know 5 year old's dating is disturbing isn't it?

Especially if it's with their Grandmother.

Alpha 02-21-2005 10:56 AM

Uhhh were you listining I said thier grandmother takes them out to leisure plex.

however you could have meant something else which I agree to.

TheRaisin 02-21-2005 12:52 PM

He was making a joke, Alpha. Sheesh.

Alpha 02-21-2005 12:53 PM

That's what I meant by however.

Leto 02-21-2005 10:22 PM

Hoo-wee. Shizzle da nizzle, guys.

It has been established that this fabled "relationship" *does the Dr. Evil finger thing* involves the grandmother of the "male" taking the "couple" to the "leisure-plex". Mmmkay, people? :p

And if the relationship involves no kissing/intimate actions, how can it be classified as a relationship? Face it people- relationship = chance at sex. What kind of sicko can classify a 5 year old child as a girlfriend? It is disturbing, and a matter to be taken to the courts. Or mental institution, take your pick.

TheRaisin 02-22-2005 11:29 AM

I think sex should be part of a relationship, not its sole purpose. But hey, what do I know? Let's go get f*cked up on Soma and have a big orgy, eh wot? Everyone belongs to everyone else!

Shinjara 02-22-2005 11:35 AM

On the subject of the 5 year old & the Grandmother..

5 year old children can't really distinguish that the word 'girlfriend' means a female in a relationship.. they just say it because they think its means a female friend. Hes seeing it as friendship & most likely thinks dates are more of a friendly thing.

I have no input on the sex in relationships thing.. My relationship involves alot of intimacy so I'm pretty biased on the topic ;)
