Change my mind ? Nope.

First of all this is not a confirmed result ... When I google "weightlifting" or "weightlifting makes you age faster" I only found "weightlifting makes you happier", "weightlifting aids fat loss" or "weightlifting makes you look better". So to start it off, this is not even a very popular argument yet but certainly there's possibility to everything so I'm not against your statement nor I support it.

For those who said that they meet somebody who lift weights look much order than actual age or the other way round ... It might not be the weightlifting that makes him look old, there's too much about human body to be discovered and you don't know what he actually did. Consider all those good food you're taking, doesn't it kinda compensate the aging issue provided if it's true ?

I found that bodybuilding is kind of like a religion thing that you choose what you want to believe and what you want to do. I'm not here to give you scientific facts and I'm not a science student anyway. In fact I hate it as much as I love hot babes. I'm getting bored of these researches that can't convince me so I don't give a damn about them anymore, I just wanna lift weights.

Non-productive .... maybe even counterproductive thread.

Actually it's a good discussion to start with. It will benefit everyone of us and even the forum provided it comes out with an answer.

No offense but I think that darklight is quite against these new researches done ... I mean every research has to go through this unpopular stage right ? If everyone was so against the new researches, the bodybuilding industry will never progress anyway. I do understand his intention to prevent newbies from being confused by these threads though.
