Are There any Young People on Free Republic?

[Chode]

depends on the meaning of the word young is...

[Political Junkie Too]

I didn't see him on Broadway, I was too young, but I did hear him on the cast album.

[Mr.Unique]

Wow. I didn’t realize that 25 years was approaching. I was 34 when I signed up and 59 now.

[jobim]

Joined middle age - now officially old man.
I joined 9/10/98 at age 46. Now 70.

[Kickaha]

I’m nearly young.

[SamAdams76]

I used to be young. Well I’m still young but I used to be young as well.

[Kickaha]

The head and the heart are young, I just have to drag the rest along kicking and screaming!

[thesearethetimes...]

Define “young”.

😉

[thesearethetimes...]

Argh… you beat me by a country mile, lol.

[Monterrosa-24]

I’m 67 but what I lack in youthfulness I make up for with immaturity.

[Fury]

Sadly, not likely.

There are more than a few FReepers that routinely crap on younger generations, different races, ethnicities, etc.

President Reagan’s big tent philosophy is somewhat of a quaint notion on 2022.

[PermaRag]

My guess is that the average age of posters here is late-60s/early-70s. I’ve got a ways to go to get there, but can’t remotely be described as “young”.

Any conservative site that doesn’t *explicitly* cater to the young (is there even such a site?) will of course skew old since, as voting stats sadly prove, anyone under 40 who has actually grown enough of a brain to be conservative is a significant exception to the rule.

As they say — and if they don’t, they should — “40 is the new 20”.

[CodeToad]

Define ‘young’. Some people have many birthdays but never learn and mature.

[zeugma]

One more time. Thanks to Freeper Cynwoody for the greasemonkey script that produces this. I figured the freeper age on this thread would be interesting, and I was right.

[SkyDancer]

LOL - you are as young as you feel. My grandad who’s in his eighties has the stamina and health of a fifty year old; doc told him that he’s the healthiest 80yo he’s ever seen.

[thesearethetimes...]

In complete agreement my FRiend.

😇

[SkyDancer]

Sometimes it’s hard for me to keep up with him on a hike; I keep telling him to slow down and look at the beauty around him. I like to saunter - he books.

[bert]

Not here

[week 71]

@ 209 you are the future. Don’t let anyone besmirch your entire generation. It may be the one that leads our country out it’s current estate.

[jmacusa]

Indeed.
