Me too. Haven’t changed except maybe more ornery.

Have they changed the spelling of 'horny'?

I tend to think I have been a Free Republic subscriber or watcher from It’s startup. I have seen the constituency change over the years I tend to believe that such change is natural as to time and events. However, I strongly believe the goal/intent of FR and Jim have remained the same. As such I am at loss as to why a believer in FR of any length of time would want to take a pass because of unimportant change(s as to spirit and goals.

I blame AOL (America on Line), the internet used to be a great resource and then AOL happened. Suddenly masses of ignorant rude people were in my internet face. Man that really pissed me off. And I told them what ignorant rude deviant disgusting idiots they were. Night after night I’d battle these children of the lessor gods that were invading my internet. After a while flaming the AOL people on usenet news became one of my favorite things to do. LOL, yeah FR is not what it used to be, nothing is what it used to be. Get used to it.

The real truth is that the person most responsible for the aggressiveness of Nazi Germany was Josef Stalin.

Yes, the non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia was signed about eight days before Hitler invaded Poland. Stalin was after territory. Cartoonist Low drew a picture of two gangsters. Hitler and Stalin bowing to each other. The dead body lying nearby is marked Poland. Both men trade friendly insults. Low also drew a cartoon listing the Versailles Treaty 1919,as giving birth to a war in 1940.

Britain had only six all metal fighters operational in 1938. At September 1939 there were 1000 Hurricanes and Spitfires. They worked night and day in those factories.

I am rambling here, I am afraid but....... where else could I do this so freely?

I can agree with your assessment of some of the people posting recently. You will be missed, there are far too few who will deal in the marketplace of ideas rather than just call people names. Good Luck

I have the unshakable feeling that paterno is where this ex-Freeper’s sympathies lie. Peas in a pod.

Don’t give the trolls room in your head.

I learned about FR from a friend, back when FReepers had local get togethers. I lurked for many years, through several mail identities, but I signed up and started donating this year. Why?

I dislike trolls.

They invade what they fear and try to discourage better people/intellects, try to weaken us. I will *not* allow this. I don’t allow undereducated parasites space in my life, nor will I let them control the message. Don’t allow them oxygen. Don’t give up.

I had a great back and forth with someone regarding The Donald yesterday. He laid out his side of the issue and I laid out mine and we went back and forth several times.

Was a respectful, intelligent conversation. At least on his part :)

I think mine was intelligent. I could be wrong :)

Too juvenile and too much name-calling. Not near the level of critical thinking that used to go on back in the day.

Been that way all along in some quarters...Don't let it get to ya...

Let me clarify: Less horny, more ornery.

I’m pretty sure the former ensures the latter.
