VANITY: What is the generational breakdown of Freeprs?

I am a baby boomer (born 1950).

I have the impression that most Freepers are baby boomers or older. Am I right?

What generation are you in? When were you born?

There is too much information about me out there already. No use of encouraging identity theft.

It seems like just yesterday that Moses and I would kick back with a bag of wine, cooled in a nearby Judean stream........

I was born in a home without electricity. It was a self supporting farm. Still I was not of that generation. I was only 4 when we moved to town, had electricity, a refrigerator and washing machine.

Now my older brothers and sisters do remember those days. They were the last of the war and pre-war generation. My parents were both born in 1918. They grew up in a different world.

Coincidentally, most of the people I meet that were born around the same time I was are also from the same generation as me. I've often wondered whether maybe the foods my to-be parents were eating at the time I was conceived were similar to those vittles other parents also conceiving at the time were enjoying at home and at restaurants. Many of us are the same age or pretty close, and we remember the same events and/or were alive on a broad grouping of similar dates.

For example, I started first grade when I was 6, and it turns out many of these same people did too, give or take a year. Who knows what all that means. But hey, I'm just happy to be alive, and the fact that many in my generation were born at a relatively or exactly similar time just adds to the wonder and the mystery of this crazy thing we call life, on this whacky spinning orb of an urban lawn garden, if you ask me.

1952, so a Boomer. Started lurking in 2004 during the Kerry's Swift Boat adventure, signed up a year later, now going on 14 years an active member.

My Millennial daughter FReeped with me for a few years before she moved out on her own; lurking, and egging me on. :-)

Last day of 1955

[ealgeone]

Old enough to know better!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

1953 . . . and I don’t have a lot of hope for the current generation, even calling themselves conservatives. My gut is that a lot of the #NeverTrumpers come from their crowd.

I saw the Beatles live on Ed Sullivan and saw Jack Ruby get blown away.
