What's a 'whipper snapper'?
randomhouse.com
A whippersnapper is 'an unimportant but offensively presumptuous person, especially a young one'.
A few nineteenth-century examples: "Dost thou think it's nat'ral noo, that having such a proper mun as thou to keep company wi', I'd ever tak' opp wi' such a leetle scanty whipper-snapper as yon?" (Dickens, Nicholas Nickelby); "They think I am very stiff and cool, most of them, and so I am to whippersnappers" (Louisa May Alcott, Little Women); "...had unnaturally been jealous that a young whipper-snapper of a pupil...should become a Parliament man" (Trollope, Phineas Finn).
The word whippersnapper--which, as these citations indicate, is often hyphenated--is first recorded in this sense in the late 1690s; there's an example earlier in the seventeenth century, in a book about criminals, that seems to mean 'a rogue; petty criminal'.
Whippersnapper is probably a blend of the earlier whipster and snipper-snapper, themselves first recorded in the late sixteenth century. Snipper-snapper is now obsolete or dialectal; it is based on snip-snap, a gradational compound having various parts of speech all generally referring to "snappiness," as of conversation.

Joined up when I was a crazy disaffected anarchist in high school. Now I'm married, got a house in the suburbs and have a low-level management position. How the hell did that happen?

So since you are opposite of what you were, does that make you an Archist?
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
Your friend is right - I'm born dec 31 59 and is 46 - that makes you 48. Sorry.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Joined when I was 16 as "SirShiva." Put in a request to be renamed to "Shiva," it was done, but there already was one so my password stopped working for both SirShiva and Shiva. Gave up.
Rejoined in 2003 (?) at 20, now 23.
Edit: Make that 2002 at 19
