Why the desire to segregate this community by age group through threads???

[Kanlee]

Their are all kinds of little social groups on here,and I think that is fine.I just do not seem to fit in with any!

If you vape or want to learn about how to vape or just want to talk about vaping stuff you fit right in no matter the title of the thread. Come on in, the water is fine.

I'm not 55 or older. But, I LOVE the thread. I prefer talking to people that have "been around the block" a time or two. Now, I can go to one thread and find them all!

I wouldn't say that age based groups segregate the community necessarily. It's not like I'm going to read a post, and then not reply because the OP is in the 55+ age group

Now, we have Prune, Activia and Geritol flavor juices for the 55+ crowd, so what's the juice of choice for the Gen X/Yers?

Juice? People still drink that?

I say over-hyped caffeinated "energy" drinks.

 

[Taniger1]

I like chocolate, wintergreen and Rumplminz! Gen X'er here.

 

[echofinder]

It is not the flavor so much for gen X/Y, but the fact that we want it delivered to us and dripped for us

 

[sandybeach]

Honestly, i cant count how many times i have read good reviews on a juice flavor, ordered a sample, and thought, "all of those reviews had to be from people 55+" Some juices taste like "grandmas juice"

Hahaha, that's why!

Just spewed my Geritol...

Hey, they make Geritol juice now - who is carrying it???

Chances are if ya need it, ya can't carry it!

Awww, I hate taking them pills... Vaping it would be so much easier...

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

...Why this seemingly new push to partition the community by age group?

Chill.

Homo Sapiens as a group gravitate to sub-groups, to their own kind. People who were around when smoking was chic have a different, uphill view of vaping than the rugrats who grew up with smokers as a pariah group.

When it matters—when the FDA threatens us with extinction—we all come together as one, circling the wagons.

Good point there. I was thinking the same thing earlier today. I guess it's just part of human nature to try and gain acceptance and standing in the world by simple association with whatever group. Makes us feel a part of something - vital. I've always been somewhat of a lone wolf, which may explain why I stand alone in my thinking on this issue.

Edit: I'd just like to take this moment to thank everybody for their input. I may be out of the loop in my thinking, but it's been educational and interesting to see how you guys feel about this. Thanks.

 

[Wolf308]

I certainly don't want to separate everyone by age. I totally get along with people over the age of 55 better than people around my own age.

You can take that to the bank. It might take us ole folks a little longer with the circling thingy but we will not let the youngens down!

I don't believe standing is so much a part of it as is simple comfort, knowing the mattress of personalities you fall asleep with aren't apt to force the point of a spring into your back.

I've always been somewhat of a lone wolf, which may explain why I stand alone in my thinking on this issue.

I doubt you're estranged from the human race as much as you like to believe.

Look man, I'm just saying that being the hep young cat that I am, I do not want to hear about how grandpa had to walk uphill both ways in the snow to meet the pony express to pick up his coal-powered mod. I don't want to discuss the merits of various prune-flavored e-liquids, and I do not want to know about how during the great depression the whole family had to share one PV and then Roosevelt announced rationing of e-juice on the new-fangled radio.

So I guess you're not interested in hearing about my steam powered laptop? Only weighed 62 pounds.

 

[Semiretired]

Yeah, early calculators definitely did not fit in the pocket...

 

[ChaosTheory]

I started the 18-54 thread because of isolation and envy... Like the subhuman derelicts who get kicked out of the clubhouse and start their own group and historians end up writing about how unique and counterculture it was as it eventually becomes the norm.
