I wish I was 20 years younger than I am.
Because if I was, then I could have a reasonable shot with someone who writes like this:

Ahh, well. Story of my life: Too old, too young, too short, too nice, too drunk...It's always somethin'. ;-)

3. Thus the saying "youth is wasted
on the young".

6. I would like to be 20 years younger as well...
Hell; as long as we are fantasizing, make it 30. But, I really wouldn't want to know what I know now. Back then, I did not know what trials were ahead. I was blissfully ignorant.

Yeah, I would go back in a heartbeat.

4. If I were 20 years younger I would be 5.
But if I had the knowledge that I have now I would dominate.

5. I have yet to run into a person who wishes they weren't younger with the wisdom they have now.
There are a lot of things we wished we could have done were we younger but with wisdom.

The saying that "Youth is wasted on the young" does hold a modicum of truth.

7. Read the article people.
An ultimate slam on the appeasement speech.

8. She is amazing, and speaks for us, at least for me. You,
I have no idea, but you're a pretty bright fellow in your own right, so don't knock that!

9. Christ, not me.
I'd like to be forty years older, and about to leave this vale of tears.
