I'm curious as to the demographics of the site. I have a feel for it by how people talk, but I'm curious to know how correct I am. Please be honest in your replys.

What demographic group do you fit in?

I know there won't be many orph, but I wanted to cover all the bases. I'm operating under the assumption that most us are Uni students, but I'm prepared to be suprised [addsig]

Bah, everybody knows you are are alot older than most of us. to the best of my knowledge nobody cares. you are who you are regaurdless of age.

For me at least, the only effect knowledge of your seniority causes is more serious consideration of your opinions as I know they are derrived from much longer experience than my own.

/edit/ oops! I guess it shoud be "Retirement" I can't change it now though.

*blushes*

thanx, but where i come from, perverts play with kids, this is not the case here, but the stigma remains ever present.

i value each of you, and would rather remain ignorant for the most part if you are under 18.

you don't have to agree with my concerns, they are there none the less.

i thank everyone who doesn't see an issue with my age, but that doesn't mean you have parents that don't as well... we live in a crazy world, i for one, would avoid anything ... well you know

thanx TB, i appreciate the kind words.

I'm not entirely sure how the American education system works, but I'm guessing these are roughly the same:

Elementary School = Primary School (3 - 11/13)

High School = Secondary School (11/13 - 18)

College = University

Correct? Just making sure I voted correctly!

We don't really have college... so I guess 2dmin you're right, I put high school in the poll so ARGH!

Similar to the UK except:

Primary - reception, year 1 to 6 (depending on where you live)
secondary - years 7 - 11 (ages 11 to 16)
college - 12 and 13 (ages 16 - 18)
University - 18+

Pretty good poll TB, but as KoRn has pointed out it could be improved. You are conflating two different questions:

1. How old are you?
2. What is your main occupation?

id have to agree with gollum, there are many levels of life not noted here....i suppose i'd fit into the "employed, nearly geriatric, beat up, s**t at and hit, since christ was a corporal set...."

Doc B...

and btw, where the hell did all my "snarkmarks" go"....there were over 1100.....hmmm

Hmm, I was at something over 2000 snarkmarks for a while. I could swear no-one's rated me or any of my stuff since then.

Maybe there's an occasional cull, or Lep. takes some off when he thinks you're being an arse

Who cares if they go up/down, take it as a relative value
