My son was taken from me when he was only 2 months old because I supposedly "worshiped the devil" in front of him. I am an atheiest. I don't even belive in the devil. It ruined my life and at the same time opened up a whole new world of horror stories from other parents. How our government is walking all over the rules they put in place to protect us and how our civil rights are violated each and everyday. EVERYONE especailly those with families should be aware of this!!! Please visit my sites and sign my petition to...

move on, nothing to see here....

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Comment A study of 100,000 pupils in 31 countries around the world has concluded that using computers makes kids dumb. Avoiding PCs in the classroom and at home improved the literacy and numeracy of the children studied. The UK's Royal Economic Society finds no ground for the correlation that politicans make between IT use and education. The authors, Thomas Fuchs and Ludger Woessmann of Munich University, used the PISA tests to measure the skills of 100,000 15 year-olds. When social factors were taken into account, PC literacy was no more valuable than ability to use a telephone or the internet,...

I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 notebook and don't know anything about cut,copy,and paste and all that stuff! Any help would be appreciated.

I am sick and tired of "it's Bush's fault posts." It was clever and funny when it first broke out; but lately - just lame. If Freepers simply MUST post that "Bush's fault", may I suggest that, after posting such, they then get up and place a dollar bill in a can. Mark it "Bush's Fault." Then at the next Freeathon, open the can and send the proceeds.

I'm trying to figure out how to network my Series 2 (non-Direct TV) Tivo but am having trouble finding where to start. I think I'm gonna end up putting it on my wireless network but once it's on the network what should I do? I know that some Freepers capture video with Tivo and then transfer the files to their computers. I'm not a complete tech moron (I know XHTML/CSS and am proficient in PHP) but I haven't messed around with Tivo yet. I'd like to be able to back up some of the show I watch on my computer...

What is with the underlined words/phrases in FR?

What is a Muslim? What do they believe? Im VERY, VERY curious so please reply!!!!

column concerning U.S. success in Samarra, has been eye-opening. And I don't like what I see. I have no doubt that the Tennessee Marine colonel in Iraq who made the contention of success there ? which I wrote about ? was sincere. As CNN's Jane Arraf reported from

Need help in getting my sounds back in Trillian. Tried Events, everything seems ok. Have sounds in all other areas.

Does anyone know about the future of this site...expanded features and so on? For example, I always thought that we should have a live chat room.

I noticed this started a week ago. I was on vacation so if I missed something..

I am trying to log on to lastest posts. I get an error saying "Sorry error occured, error has been logged.

So many changes. I am sure that they are great. But I can't navigate FR like I used to. I feel so helpless, like John Kerry in a real war zone. Things are indented, and it looks like something is reading my mind (or trying to). Am I alone? This is not a complaint, just a global obesrvation. [x] This is SOOO Not an Excerpt.

Has Sandy Berger been inserting posts into Free Republic?

The purpose of FreeRepublic.com's multiple message boards is to limit the topics for each board to particular topics. Posting the same message on all the boards defeats the purpose of multiple-boards for special topics. It is very annoying to see the same message on every bulletin board. PLEASE! DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!
