Wow... lots of young people here... I feel old. I used to frequent this and other forums at huntingnet. Been about 5 yearsat leastsince I was really into it though, a cursory glance at thethreadsreveal no names that I remember...I supose I don't really fitinto the "young hunters"group anymore though... but it'sgood to see the board is still going strong!

I do have a motive for posting here other than just to re-visit my past however.

I havesome questions for you all.
I am collecting data for some reasearch that I am doing, and would like as many responses as possible. The nature of the question(s) may be such that you do not want to share the answer(s)openly with the rest of the forum, I will provide my e-mail adress and you can answer the questions that way if it makes you more comfortable... here is what I would like to know.

#1 age (I only can use data from people age25 and under)

#2 plans for college (Attending, not attending, plan to attend, do not plan to attend...)

#3what religion would you claim to be a part of? (eg. Christian, Hindu, Athiest, ect.)

#4 What level of devotion or conviction would you claim to have to your said beliefs?
(eg. a nominal hindu is one who is a hindu in name only, and probably only considers himself a hindu, becuase that is the culture he/she grew up in, and may or may not truely believethe religious teachings ofhis/her "faith". a devout hindu would be one who believes firmly in his faith,engages regularily in the practice of his faith, and is willing and able toclearly explain, and defend his faith to detractors. these are the two extremes, be as specific as you can.)

#5 your parents claimed beliefs, and what you would say is there level of devotion/conviction.

Well, that's it for now; however, depending on the responses I get here I may wish to go into greater detail with some of you. rest asured, I am not going to try to "convert you" or convince you of anything at all, if you do agree to be interviewdat greater length, I will be gathering data only.

Thanks everyone!
