The ignorance in the comments here is stunning. Freerepublic is not what it once was. The intercultural level of FRepers pales in comparison to previous years.

First, people on this forum seem to reply without even reading the article. And the opinions they spout are nearly totally uninformed.

Second, the issue about government control over consumer rights is totally lost on these mindless “conservatives” who want to prattle on about how “free” they are. Give me a break.

I love it here.

The decline of Christian faith and rise of social media and many blogs and the median age increase. Thank God for what is good.
