OK, as usual today I read through a dozen (actually probably more) threads about various subjects.
I am interested is seeing the news. I am interested in reading other peoples opinions about what is happening.
Just about every thread I visited had such a huge amount of rancor and spite and outright viciousness it was practically unbearable.
So what is up with all the fighting? Why does every thread turn into a room full of drunk badgers, wolverines with an estrogen overload, and cross dressing hyenas?
Don't we have the ability to be even just a little bit civil with people we disagree with? Are we not adults here? Or at least trying to be?
I finally realized why I've been getting the urge alot lately to pop "Lord of The Flies" in my DVD players!
I understand that people have strong opinions about politics, but it's getting to the point I'd be scared to go to a FReeper party because I KNOW it would turn into a flash mob brawl!!
Calm down folks! Switch to decaff or something!
Good one! Thanks for the LOL!
IMHO people are very, very worried about our country, and the power that the leftists seem to have over the general populace. Tie that in with what looks to be an all-out effort by the Republican establishment to manipulate the GOP against anyone but inside-the-beltway, let's-all-be-Democrat-lite candidates (Romney), and the fear is palpable.
Right now, we're on a roller coaster ride regarding the conservative standard-bearer; who's up, who's down. People gravitate to the one they think can pull it off, and attack anyone who thinks otherwise.
For myself, I'm willing to wait until the dust clears. Hopefully by next spring, we'll have someone we can get behind. Until then, try to enjoy the ride.
Deal with it.
No she wasn't. Mary Ann was every man's dream.
And Bailey Quarters was a lot hotter than Jennifer, too.
Snarl, snarl.
I agree 100%. I’m from Southern California and I don’t even read threads on California anymore because the replies are so hateful.
Now lets see what happens....
What gets me is people posting on this thread “Where? I don’t see it” or “Fighting is a GOOD thing...”
Guess I am of a different mindset.
Pretty smart for a noob. ;-)
