[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Dennis B Well, it's a response but I'll leave it up to you to decide if Lotus098 answered the question convincingly. And yes, he did say he paid taxes. Go back and look at the quote. Actually, if you dig through the archives, you'll find I am not the first person to ask if he's 14. Read through his postings. Do you know any 14 year old kid who is so knowledgible and opinionated. He discusses taxes and politics with the same ferver as you and I. His viewpoints are not those of a typical 14 year old. That and a certain pattern or style of writing made me curious. So I thought that I would have a little fun. Did you notice how Lotus098's reaction in this thread differs in tone and style from his more recent UP thread rants? Ok, so what does it matter? Ask yourself why someone would use this artifice. Why not just be straight? And FYI--the manager at the local Nampa ID Burger King does not hire 14 year old kids-too many federal restrictions. [/quote]I do pay taxes, sales tax, gas tax (for the lawnmower), taxes on shipping, and I directly see how much my parents pay. No you are only the second person to ask, the other was antigates on the forum about UP's flag. You have to remember I am so knowledgeable and opinionated, because I listen a certain radio show (nobody picked up on the Rio Linda, joke[;)]), study lots of books, study economics all the time, and associate with adults (not a lot of kids). Many people have commented to my parents how I act much more like an adult than I do a child. Many people have a certain pattern of writing, although I would have phrased much of what was said by the other people you suppose to be me, quite differently. I can get mad, when people display an extreme lack of logic, they use opinion, I use facts, then I don't get flamed, I get roasted alive. So I tend to sound irritated, on certain topics. I am as straight as you can get. However I have some fond ideas about the "good old days", so it may sometimes sound like I lived through them. Read carefully, I said I did some work for Burger King, not I worked for Burger King. I didn't serve coffee; I typed questions about the proper serving temperatures. How come you have yet to say you might be wrong, or to even give me the benefit of the doubt? Also I thought on some of the forums talking like I was not 14 more people might give my views more thought, while I never claimed not to be 14. Check out my post on how much equipment I have:http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=-1&TOPIC_ID=41851&REPLY_ID=439068#439068 Does this sound like an old guy, or a kid who saves up all his money to buy these things? Did any of these other guys do a lot of research bout trains in Idaho, and make comments about how west is better? Certain things that make up my personality are unavoidably lacking on any other user.
