The dumbest thing I've read in ages!

What's Hot
axisusaxisus Frets: 28280

A Dutch pensioner has started a legal battle to legally change his age and boost his dating prospects.

Emile Ratelband, 69, wants to shift his birthday from 1949 to 1969, comparing the change to identifying as being transgender.

"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age?" Utterly, utterly stupid!

  • "The pensioner also said he would renounce his pension if he switched his birth date". So he won't get his pension until he's really 86. What are the odds he gets one shag out of it and then goes on the sick for 17 years? :)

  • "The pensioner also said he would renounce his pension if he switched his birth date". So he won't get his pension until he's really 86. What are the odds he gets no additional sex and still dies alone.

    Ridiculous. But I guess no more so than the current state of affairs where we pander to those who say they aren’t male/female and instead identify as a bowl of cereal or a tree or some bollocks!

  • I work in software development and have been involved in a lot of websites that ask customers for various bits of personal data, including DOB. The number of times we've had arguments about date/age validation "...when someone changes their DOB". I mean, you can't change your DOB!!!

    Until maybe now....

    It sounds like he wants to be 49 to get more 69.

    He obviously hasnt dated much then.

    People been doing this for years.
    Its called lying.


    I once dated a girl called Ruby. A few months in I heard her mum call her Em.  
    I asked why. 
    She said 'oh my names Emily'. 

    Whackos.

    The guy's a TV personality ... he's taking the proverbial .. it's joke.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    He may have meant it as a joke the courts are looking at it though so its no longer a joke.

    He's highlighting the stupidity of the law in other areas .... once a man, now a woman etc.

  • If he succeeds, it’s highly likely I’ll do the same....

    Given that modern society panders to anyone who doesn't want to be what they actually are then I wouldn't be surprised if he succeeds.

    Whether he does or he doesn't it's all a bit ridiculous in my humble opinion, for what it's worth.

    There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife

    Turns out there is an H in Haych! ~ Sporky

    My ex wife would never let me see her passport because "she hated the photo".

    It turned out she'd been lying about where she was born the whole time, always claiming she was Welsh rather than English, bizarrely.
