I am not at all an expert. However, it makes sense that the changes a woman's body experiences between the ages of 12 and 16 have a significant impact on flexibility and overall gymnastic performance.
I'm not saying it's impossible to be an Olympic gymnast after puberty, simply that it may make it more difficult or "change the game" a bit.
I'm at work, and somewhat busy. If it comes to a dispute, I'll look for scientific or anecdotal evidence. Feel free to prove me wrong with the same.
Funny.. when I read the title, for some reason I keep hearing it in the tune of Paula Cole's "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?"... Not at all within my typical music genre either.
Sorry, that should have been in reply to:
What I question is the constitution itself: Is the right to bear arms really a key element to protest against excessive government control? India didn't gain their independence through guns. Today, we don't need them. I don't dispute the quoted text my previous comment.
India gained independence largely due to the fact that it was more work than they were worth.
The day the Stormtroopers come knocking at your door, you'll wish you had a gun.
The people can only overthrow a tyrannical government if they have weapons which enable them to do so. At what cost to the people of India?
90 Indian Army soldiers versus a large crowd. While the size of the crowd, as well as the number of causalities, is disputed, the most modest accounting (note the official count) has the crowd outnumbering the soldiers by more than 3:1. ("379 killed (337 men, 41 boys and a six-week-old baby) and 200 injured")
Saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people, is bullshit. Show me an instant when a person killed a person with a gun when they didn't have a gun. Show me an instance where an accidental discharge of an unloaded trigger locked gun happened. You can't because it doesn't happen. Maybe I'm just slow today... but.. umm.. what exactly is your stance? What the hell are these few sentences supposed to say?
Show me an instance where an accidental discharge of an unloaded trigger locked gun happened. I'm pretty sure that an unloaded gun, with an applied trigger lock, can not accidentally discharge. Furthermore, I believe we could take the trigger lock off, toss the thing in the fucking air, and it wouldn't accidentally discharge.
So how is it that this circumstance disproves or discredits the notion "guns don't kill people, people kill people"?
Please explain.

First off, very well worded response, holophrastic.
In regards to - Now I have no problem organize a list of people, to whom I grant the power of grey skull... - Sprint already has a service (http://www.nextel.com/en/services/gps/family_locator.shtml) much like this. As you detail, it allows family members and those you designate to see your location. It could be used, I suppose, to keep "track" of that mischevious teenage girl of yours, or in situations like the ones you describe.
Disclaimer - I don't work for Sprint. I don't know if other cell phone carriers offer this same service. I simply noticed it when browsing my plan and options on their site.

Was being very very conservative with the estimate ;)

It's a joke ;)

I carry mace with me to mark, but not stop, my raper, and I'm still seeing the occasional rapper tagged by mace. But they're virtually all gone.
I see what you did there! Subtle insight of your views concerning the Hip Hop "artist"?

If I am to understand you correctly, you are referring to Ubuntu as an alternative to Linux?

This is one of the better comments so far.. and from a teenager.
