Eh, I don’t want to be the spoilsport, but I’m not too sure we can easily craft a demographic profile of Dopers. Perhaps a desire for accuracy in writing and speaking dominates, but the Monty Python and Star Trek trivia do not.
Political affiliations span the spectrum; we’ve got left-wing Democrats, right-wing Republicans, centrists who might vote either, the apathetic and bona fide wing nuts.
Christians abound, in all flavors, but we’ve also got plenty of Jews and atheists. Not too many Muslims have shown that aspect of their lives, but there’ve been a few. Wiccans, witches and the like have periodically appeared - some have hung around. I don’t recall any Shinto or Hindu Dopers declaring themselves such, but there’s a lot I’ve missed.
As I’m sure the regs know, age (besides >90, so far) is not a determinant.
I haven’t seen all that many Firesign Theater references, but I’m sure there are Dopers out there who could provide them.
How many of us have been incarcerated? I’m sure there’s a not small contingent.
Many here are college educated, and many pursue professional careers, but plenty of others work at jobs that don’t define them or don’t work at all.
Whenever I’ve tossed out a Frank Zappa reference, somebody’s picked up on it - but I’m sure it was missed by many.
It appears that the majority of Dopers are straight, but our gay contingent is certainly present.
I never did manage to see an episode of Seinfeld (sp?), but I did see part of a Simpsons episode.
And, while this board is probably dominated by those of us in the U.S., we’ve quite the Canadian, Brit and Aussie presence, as well as a good deal of input from all over the globe.
We have many with quite the background in computing, but many others obviously do not converse that well with their machines.
Nah, this is a street corner in a big, big cybercity.
