Guess there is some point to this, but I don't get it. Do you think this site - especially in older days was more democrat than republican?

Juan will.

The point is, we are a diverse bunch. We always were. Young and old. Democrat and Republican. White, Asian, African American, Hispanic. We just got along. And still do.

My point was that the people here at the begining probably had more in common and were more of a homogenous group - dispute it if you like, but that was probably the case; and now it is changing so there will be less harmony of thought. There will be more differing opinions and there will be more discord.

I answered it.

We had 16 year olds back then and 65 year olds, so age isn't an issue. The difference is respect, the "me" factor and the need for immediate gratification.

Just my 2 cents

Yes, you had 16 year olds. What percentage of the population were 16 and what percent 65? Did 16 year olds make up 50 percent of the members? Or were they only 10 percent or 1%.

If you search .... you'll find there was a poll on age.

The point that you're missing is the group was always diverse. All races and all ages; teens, twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties. The diversity isn't the issue. It's the other things I mentioned.

... absolfreakinlutely!

Since we have segued to this point, one only has to peruse the XOutpost Meets Forum and view pics of any meet: it looks like the UN lunch crowd
in terms of race/age, etc.

V & I initially and ongoing, love the diversity: we enjoy hanging out at meets, public & private, with people generally younger than we are,
and of a multitude of backgrounds, skin color, etc. That, almost by itself, makes it very enjoyable and interesting for us.

Back at the Tossing Aerosol Cans Into the Campfire, what piques my occasional interest in this thread, is the predictable recurring post(s),
by any given poster, (with a couple dozen entries), offering little of any info or "value", but feels compelled to post a comment about
Use the Search Tab response, or some of us are meanies or, the Board had bullies, ad nauseum.

For those of you with constructive criticism or cogent comments, good; for those with simply complaints, please point out a "better Board",
on any subject.
GL, mD

The point is that while used X5s have become cheaper as they age, they do become more accessible to younger owners, or at least those younger owners who buy their own vehicles as opposed to those who were given them. It is just that to classify any owners by race, voting tendencies, or any other classification seems silly. I don't remember filling out a voting card when I bought my X5, and if you want to take it one step further, it is called X5World, and most of the world doesn't have a Republican party.
