[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7770657, member: 1013"] I think people look at hobbies like playing sports for real, collecting/shooting firearms, collecting and working on classic cars as more mature than sitting around a table pretending to be an elf. A crappy golfer will look up to Jordan Speith and fantasize about winning the Masters decked out in his fancy golf gear and that is a fantasy...but in the end he is out playing golf and getting exercise and all that and hopefully improving. I watch a lot of firearms content but I don't think I fantasize much about being the final line of defense against Marxism or such things...well not that much. I do like seeing reviews on new stuff to get an idea if its worth buying. As for music, it seems most people stay with the stuff they were into when they were young. I keep trying out new metal and rock bands and too often its a pale shade of a record I was rocking 25 years ago. Plus good music is good music. I know some of my friends view my RPG and wargaming hobbies as childish. They are kind of right I think but I figure I'm grown up enough in other areas. Maybe the difference is when Judge Smails is out shooting golf in his new golf hat he taking part in a 'real world' activity compared to tuning the world out and drifting into fantasy land? I don't know, just some thoughts. Though one thing that many have stated that I think is true is that Maher is a *bleep* regardless. [/QUOTE]
