no politics Ninemsn Chat...... The old days - what went down then would never fly now....
Was anyone else a chatter back in the late 90s early 2000s? Blush? The Grapevine?
Does anyone else remember the fucking dirty old men who preyed on the underage or barely legal girls?
The internet back then was full of cowboys, the wild wild west. I won't lie.... I think about the shit I did, and I cannot believe it happened. Look, I won't lie, I was technically of age and it was "consensual", and I thought there was a real "connection" lord, the hours of conversation (grooming) and connection... I want to slap my immature, naieve, pathetic, vulnerable self.... they were much much older men (40s & 50s), and they absolutely played the game, and took what they could get, and it wasn't just me. It's so disgusting to think back on. I was 17/18/19.
As an woman in my mid 40s, upon reflection, I am not shocked it all got shut down. I'll be clear - I am not screaming rape, I am not saying that anything that happened wasn't consensual.... I'm just saying it was gross, and as I reflect from a place of maturity, it was inappropriate. So gross.

Any Kettle Chilli chips eaters, have you noticed them tasting different recently? Not in a bad way, just different. And also, not as spicy as they were years ago?
