User blog:OmniDragon10/My Opinion on Age Announcements

This is my blog to discuss the one bit of personal information that I think is wrong to prohibit in announcement: Age. It has been my thought since I first came on that, age, while personal, doesn't give out much information, at least not as much as, say, Name or Country/State/City does. Therefore, people should be able to ask and tell age freely. Most users put their freakin age on their User Pages already!

Reasons to be able to ask age

 * The obvious one is for Admins to ask if they suspect someone under age.    Status: In use
 * For someone to ask another person, in hopes that they will be around the same age, so helpful in problems they have        status: Not in use
 * If you're just wondering how old someone is!
 * It's not like they can stalk you because they know how old you are.

Reasons to be able to tell age

 * To answer the reasons above ^^
 * To be able to relate to other people.
 * Just to show the world you don't have intelligence greater than your age (Ahmad and I seem to be exceptions)
 * Just to tell

My bottom line is, age should be able to be asked and told from regular users
