American Freepers - What's your job?

Posted on 03/21/2003 7:11:16 PM PST by Tomalak

Free Republic has something of a reputation in many circles as being home of raving mad fanatics or rednecks like Cletus from The Simpsons. What always strikes me though is how smart, thoughtful and well-read the average Freeper is. It's not just compared to the stereotype, but to almost any news forum. Take the forums on Democratic Underground or The Guardian. You'd expect the Liberal Elite to be out in force there. But all you really see are morons who can't reason or think or handle argument.

So I want to know a bit more about the average Freeper. What job do you have? How badly wrong is the stereotype compared to what you acually are?

I jump from one office temp job to another, depending on job availability. My next one, my first in a month, begins on Tuesday.

I managed to squeeze in a 3-day trip to Myrtle Beach, SC during this latest hiatus. Got home yesterday.

Excellent! Thanks for the link.

And thanks for all the responses so far. They confirm that the stereotype is badly wrong.
