40. But seriously
Having spent some time haranguing with the freepers, in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the fundamentalist mindset, I have formed some general conclusions concerning their makeup.

1 They tend to be middle age white males

2 Most likely raised in small to mid sized towns which provided no interaction with people of other races or cultures during their formative years, except for blacks whom they are taught from birth are inferior to themselves. However, after completing their education they relocate to larger cities where they experience difficulty in adjusting to interacting and competing with those from other races and cultures.

3 Most likely raised in fundamentalist Christian churches.

4 Taught from birth they must believe in the Christian god or that they will be condemned to hell for all eternity.

5 Tend to have incomes, which place them right in the middle of the middle class. They have too high of incomes to be classified as poor but not enough income to be considered as being of wealth. Conservatism holds for them the promise of someday being able to make the leap to the class of wealth from which their incessant allegiance to conservatism comes.

6 Many have college degrees and most have some post-secondary education although most of their education and occupations tend to lean towards activities that are grounding in concrete thinking.

7 Do not relate well to abstract or esoteric thinking.

8 Predominantly think in simply binary terms, from which their worldview is formed. Sees reality as a series of simple either or propositions and consistently fail to see anything in between the two extremes, which of course is where most of reality exists.

9 Sees themselves as freethinkers although the reality is that they are largely followers.

10 Most likely employed in technical positions or lower level management positions, which allows for little opportunity to feel in control of their own destiny.

11 Majority are married but probably have domineering wives which further exacerbates their feeling of not being in control.

12 Have a psychotic hatred of Bill Clinton for being able to get a blowjob in the oval office. This most likely arises because Clinton was able to rise to a position of power, which many young women find attractive, and since most know they will never attain such a position they must confront the fact that most likely they will never be able to accomplish the same. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the “moral values” of their Christian wives prevent them from ever getting a blowjob from them; they then must face the reality that a blow job is not in their future unless they buy a hooker.

13 Most are too cheep to buy a hooker.

These are just a few of my perceptions of freepers off the top of my head but if it wasn’t so late I ‘m sure I could come up with many more.
