The poll needs more options!  What should an 11-year-old female-to-male transgendered person put??   :?  j/k

I just turned 25, which puts me in the next bracket...  damn I'm old!

That's bullshit.
You can make money at any age. And lots of it.
Indeed, one of the surest ways to have a million dollars is to start investing a hundred or so every month... and do that for 25 years.
Seems crummy now, but when you retire at age 50 and your peers are on the streets choking down government cheese, you'll feel pretty damn smart.

I will not even have a undergrad until I am 26.  I think you have not made it and will likely not make it.  I don't think that has anything to do with your age, though  8)

or is that... Talk Radio ...
or.. using computer BBS systems...

I see quite a few filters that could easily affect the accuracy of this poll, but, nonetheless...

Actually, I think our female turnout according to this poll is pretty remarkable in talk radio.

You want to see some serious ass-kicking CHANGE begin made by a young'n, check out this guy:
http://www.votestearns.com/bio.php
He wan't even 18 years old when he filed to run for State Rep; he just turned 18, a week before the election.

And he's pro-Freedom on every issue:

He's running a longshot campaign, but I know a lot of Free-Staters (myself included) are supporting him every way we can.

I really appreciate the 35-44 bracket.  For some reason I think I would feel older if the cutoff was at 40.  Maybe I have a young mind because I have always been interested in adventure.  I might not fit the normal demographic for talk radio but I think this show is significant.

It's interesting that, for so many male listeners, they seem to keep pretty quiet on the BBS....either that, or the women are just noisy.

Well, if they have one short session per year, and compensate you for travel expenses to the capitol (you could always live in Concord), it wouldn't be hard to maintain a normal job and take time off to perform your 'duties'. I don't know that much about politics in New Hampshire, but that's what I've gathered from conversations with Free Staters

My worry is that the message of liberty, particularly with young FTL listeners, is simply a fad that will fade with time.  They're young & cocky now, but as they're drawn into the 'professional' corporate world with its government-sanctioned legal system, banking, investments/401K, etc., and the additional burdens of home & family, will the tendency be to just go with the flow and submit to the corrupt system because that's how our society works?  Will talk of our Constitution be further reduced to merely academic discussion?

The difference between libertarianism and other philosophies that would seem to prevent it from falling into the fad philosophy group is that it's so simple, consistant, and principled. Even if a libertarian falls off the map into normal life, it'd be simple and easy to re-awaken the philosophy and drive that may have been faded by age. Unlike more complex political philosophies, libertarianism is simple and fluid enough to become adapted to any lifestyle and living situation with proper interpretation.

Well, I certainly think that some libertarians who are young, but end up not being succesful in their endeavors later in life might risk turning into fans of the "safety net."  I fail to see how banking, investments, and family make people turn statist.

Let me tell you something there is no such thing as a, "safety net."  It is just another lie the government tells people.  I have lost jobs yet never ever once qualified for unemployment.  I have been seriously ill but for some reason not ill enough to qualify for social security disability.   Eventhough it would be impossible for me to go back to my former employment.  After losing my job due to pregnancy because the company I worked for was so small they didn't have to follow the pregnancy leave act, I didn't quailify for WIC because my salary for the previous year was too high.  I didn't quailify for medical sublemental insurance because I had a small piece of land that was reivaluated and a car.  The amount was $4000 my land went from being worth only $1000 to being worth $4000 according to the government so when added with the rediculous amount they said my car was worth I am all of a sudden to rich.  Don't kid yourself there is no such thing as a safety net and it is a total fairytale.  The only people who ever quality are either lieing and cheating or it is a political kick back to buy votes, ie unions.  And if you are so sorry as to let yourself get to the level of qualifing for any of it you and your family will be totally fucked when a hurrican or other natural disaster hits.

A very large amount of money goes to paying the interest on the national debt.  Several billion dollars actually.  If I can pass an amendment to not allow the US government to build up debt, the interest that goes to the debt should go to me for one year.  They'd really be saving themselves a lot of money.

According to this site (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/) the national debt is about 8.5 Trillion.
According to this site (http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/index.html) (popup warning) the current 90-day t-bill rate (the lowest rate the government pays) is 4.95%.

As of today, that's $420 billion a year, more than $1B per day just in interest. This doesn't take into account the $2.5 billion per day increase in the debt, or the higher rates from longer-term debt instruments.

You'd be richer than Bill Gates by the end of February of that year.

Is 12-17 really a logical age group? I think there's a hell of a lot more difference between what a 12-year-old wants and what I (5 months from being 18) want than a 30 year old and a 40 year old. Then again, I'm neither 30 nor 40, so maybe I wouldn't really know.

please tell your advertisers not to use coupons or rebates because they are true waste of time and a turnoff for the average man such as myself that prefers to slack off and buy whats there than cut coupons out of the sunday news or cutting the product box apart and mailing the cardboard in for a few measly greenbacks.

I thought I was the only one who could give a shit less about coupons and rebates.  I want to exchange money for goods and services.  I don't care how much what I want costs as long as it's reasonable.  I'll go to Publix before I go to Wal-Mart because it's cleaner, and if Publix charges me $4 for a bag of cotton balls as opposed to Wal-Mart's $2, I don't care.  It's a convenience issue.  As long as I'm not being charged $45485948509845948493284 for something that isn't a small island, I'm good.

One thing, no.  Several things, yes.

Title: Re: FTL's Demographics
Post by: libertylover on February 23, 2007, 03:34:45 AM
No, I think when you get on this bbs it is very much so a boy's club.  So much so you can practically smell the testosterone wafting through your monitor.  Not withstanding that boys drool and girls rule, women tend to be in the minority of Libertarianism.  As more women step further away from traditional rolls and become economically independent the numbers may change.   Even some of the women in traditional roles who see the economic harm of an ever growing government on their families may be swayed to become Libertarians.   Women still won't be attracted to several of the heman woman hater threads that float around this bbs like terds that just won't submit to the flush of the toilet.

Is 12-17 really a logical age group? I think there's a hell of a lot more difference between what a 12-year-old wants and what I (5 months from being 18) want than a 30 year old and a 40 year old. Then again, I'm neither 30 nor 40, so maybe I wouldn't really know.

I don't claim that any of these Demos make sense. They are simply the ones used in broadcast advertising. The most bought demo is Females 25-54. Tell me what a 25 year old young woman has in common with a 54 year old gal.
