Part of the point is when you do fight you don't call your spouse a Nazi and accuse them of being evil. If I provide her email address will you explain this concept to my wife?

If this ugly change in FR isn't temporary, I'll not be long behind you.
I think it's funny that people think you 'can't hang'. I've known more than a few Marines, and for whatever else you can say about them, they're no strangers to rough language. But rough language aside, Marines are basically good people, and you can forgive a lot because of that.
To a certain extent, I can forgive a lot of roughness here, for the same reasons. But when peole start calling for 'accidents' to happen to people we don't like, and the Nazi Holocaust becomes a cheap photoshop prop for the fight of the day, you start to feel the need for a shower that trolling at DU brings? And this is the place that brought Dan Rather to his knees! He must feel doubly burned now.
Either FR is temporarily broken due to this issue, or it's fast tracking to the abysmal depth of DU. I hope it's the former, because if not, the conservative cause will have lost a great institution.

There has been no debate recently.That's patently absurd. I was going to call up a few thousand examples for you, but then I realized you're in your own little world. (Goodness, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings!)

Oh, how pathetic is this? So I suppose this is an example of your cherished "rational thought?" But at least you're (hopefully) not going to start your own opus.Maybe you should ask yourself why this is happening, instead of taking unprovoked shots at people.
To: Coop
Speaking as a long-timer, we go through this mess once or twice a year (often right around FReepathon time). People make a big deal of their departures, which in turn spurs a few others to do the same.I'm not quite the long-timer you are, but I've noticed the same thing since I joined FR back in 2000.

I did see a little of it, and it was shameful. I do understand the passions the Terri situation created, but it doesn't excuse the mob mentality that went after everyone who didn't fall in line immediately.

Glad to see a death cultist like yourself go. I had already given up reading any of your posts. Thanks! You made my weekend a happy time. Personally, anyone and that includes you, who actively supported the starving of a handicapped person to death is beyond the pale. There are no excuses. I hope more of your death cult friends leave also.You're part of the problem, dirtbag.
You and your knuckle-dragging cohorts are not going to dominate this forum.
Nobody supported starving anybody; it's just that you, and others with shoe-sized IQs, have such a limited mental capacity to make distinctions and to support the rule of law, that you had to characterize those who didn't roll in the dirt as "murderers."
Relish your sanctimony. It's all you've got.

And remember, "facts" don't matter, or so we've been told. I believe if you put that in proper context, you should of also said "it is wrong to kill her".

To: OldFriend
It's a place that had credibility and some extremely intelligent people with expertise that could hardly be found anywhere else. That some people turned it into a garbage dump is pathetic, but it happened!Actually, people have been saying that since I got here: "It's not as good as the marvelous old days." Wrong. It's always been a mix of great and not-so-great, civility and smashmouth. Get a grip.

When I tired of the Schiavo threads I ignored them.
You're overreacting. You shut the TV off when you're tired of that, don't you?
Don't go, you're just cranky.

I also am waiting for the .... APRIL FOOL'S !!
BTW, oh man, today was rich, I mean rich. True story, and I nearly dropped to the floor.
A strict, traditional lady I have known for years told me on the phone today that she was leaving her husband. I mean, this woman is SQUEAKY CLEAN in almost everything she says or does. I mean, my jaw dropped through the floor.
Then she pulled the April fools BS and laughed at my shock and awe and horror. I was shocked. She thought it funny.
I have other stories from today. Oh man, is there a full moon or what?
To: anniegetyourgun; Poohbah
I disagree.
The people taking themselves too seriously are the ones who allow no disagreement from fellow FReepers when these contentious issues come along, who have allowed their emotions to rule their reason, and who take a single issue and make it into the turning point for American history and all humanity.
To: Diva Betsy Ross
I love the apology linked on your webpage. Thanks. I am "sorry" for all those things too.
