In other words, people just like your parents.

It appears that when the boomers are gone, Free Republic will be gone as well . . . as well as our free America. Our constitutional government will likely be replaced with the Venezuelan form of government then also.

I’m probably one of the oldest ones here and proud to be a cranky old couch potato.

And anyone that has questions with that——I’ll sic my Maine Coon cat on them!

Probably because that’s what it has become all too often. I’m curious to know what, if any, political sites Gen X prefers and dominates.

No, not at all.

The readiness to come to conclusions that have no basis in fact is a sign of the regimented experience they had as children. Silent went along to get along. They despise change.

Of course these are generalizations. Your mileage might vary.

Sorry missed your original thread. I am a proud boomer.

How strange if it’s true, that pre-boomers are part of the greatest generation. Maybe I’ll go with having the music at my funeral be “How Great Thou Art.”

Not if I can help it. I have the future of 11 Grandchildren to protect. The battle has just started for myself... :)

You might be surprised to know that’s
how we come off to each other, too.

In between "THE GREATEST" and the BOOMERS is a tiny cohort called WAR BABIES!

They didn't live through the GREAT DEPRESSION, they didn't fight in WWII nor Korea, but were there for the Cuban Missile Crisis and the early days of Nam.

Can’t say it’s any kind of an accurate assessment. I think you may get very specific personality types to answer your survey. Neither have I seen it.

You’re right, of course. And I think we’ve lived through the best years America has to offer. I’m grateful.

Your generalizations are not based in fact. And actually, the later generations, especially the Millennial one, is what your erroneous description better fits.

Older posters here were raised to be patriotic, went to school when facts were being taught...sans bias, sans "feelings", and questioning & hearing all sides of a topic was not just encouraged, but the norm.

Some of my kids hang out on Reddit and Instagram (girls). The boy only bothers with hobby specific sites for chess and car racing.

If you do a breakdown of sex, I don’t get much. It’s a lot like social security, a little every month but not enough to live on.
Kidding aside, I am often surprised when a freeper reveals their, “gender”. I’m a male freeper and to quote another, “#NoHomo”
