Title is in Chinese. I shouldn't watch so many Chinese movies.

But can you...

Trust me, it is FR that is slow as all get out! And it does not escape me that this seems to happen every FReepathon....or during any MAJOR event like debates or inagurations....damned shame that with all the money forked over for the site, that this seems to happen many MANY times each year.

It loads faster than other sites for me due to small bandwidth - pretty much text-based.

Hit or miss. Fine right now.

Wanted to smash my laptop the other day :)

Would be happy to donate to one time separate donation drive to upgrade if Jim needs the help.

It’s been plenty fast for me, most of the time. Maybe it’s the internet in your part of the country.

When it is working fine, that is VERY VERY TRUE.

I think that’s the pronoun zapping cosmic rays at work. I have noticed that they are on the upswing these days!

The real story here is not the speed of FR....

But that it occupies 3/4 of your time.....

You really need to get out and maybe get a girlfriend....

In the years to come, there might be more delays to sites that you like. In china you can’t get crap, be thankful! The US is being bullied be marxists, fed judges (look at how gay marriage got passed over the states, obama fed judges), college profs., globalists and their trash tools.

Depending on your carrier, there is a chance of bias! The bigger the corporation the more likely the bias.

Blessings

It's slow for me, too. I keep switching between I.E. and Chrome browsers. FireFox (which I used to love) no longer works at all for me. Freezes up no matter what site I visit.

I have a brand new modem, and the fastest internet speed from Cox Cable. FR is one of the slowest-loading websites for me...

Thanks. New to posting but in the dear dim past, I followed the 2000 election on FR. The years go fast!

A libertarian turned me onto it :) He was really a conservative but afraid to say it as we were outnumbered 50 to 2 in the graphics dept of investment bank in Manhattan :)

Everyone knew I was conservative and I couldn’t give a #### :)

No kidding.

I go to the health club everyday and have plenty of girl friends...but just don't trust women.

I am working on it.

Thx for your concern.

But your hero Al Gore. He has plenty of girl friends...masseuses, etc.

Do you have girlfriends?

Or just old fat wife? Who doesn't love you anymore?

It’s been slow since the crash before last.

Page takes forever to load and often, half the page is missing.

I think it’s Bush’s fault.

Freerepublic often seems slow to me.

It is hard to be sure of the cause.

Freerepublic is known to be an effective conservative site; maybe there is a tech group that has figured a way to slow it down..../S
