So far I've learned:
-That I sympathize with terrorists. (Post 3) by pghoilman. This is news to me. I don't know how to explain so much of what I've done to stop them, including what I had done in the military.
-That I'm like Greta Thunberg. (Post 11) by pghoilman. I don't know if that's more insulting to her or to me. The more I learned about myself from certain commenters on this thread, and if I'm like her, the more I sympathize with her.
-That I'm Iranian. (Post 20) by MeanWestTexan. It's new to me. I guess I have some language and customs to learn.
-That my hero is the man who shot Donald Trump. (Post 32) by MeanWestTexan. I wasn't aware of that. I truly believed, right up until MeanWestTexan corrected me, that Donald Trump was one of my heroes.
-That I'm okay with the attempted assassin murdering a fireman at the Trump rally. (Post 32) by MeanWestTexan. That's news to me. I don't know what massive self-reassessments I need to make but I'm grateful to MeanWestTexan for pointing out how horrible I am.
-I comment like a leftie cat lady. (Post 79) by MeanWestTexan. It's not the style I was going for but if he called it, so it is. I'll have to get a cat... or two, or go back through my Effective Writing course notes and brush up on how not to comment like a leftie cat lady.
-I'm a dimwit. (Post 90) by Lurker. I've suspected that for a while and am grateful that he cleared it up.
-I'm a limp-wristed, cheese-eating, surrender monkey. (Post 87) by wildcard_redneck. I think limp-wristed means I'm gay and I think that the 'cheese-eating surrender monkey' is directed at the French, so I'm French. Sacrebleu.
-I have a mangina and low testosterone. (Post 98) by wildcard_redneck. If true, I wonder why he keeps sending me comments. I didn't realize this was a dating site.
-My name is Ahmed. (Post 129) by packrat35. If so, I'll have to change a lot of things - my name on my mailing address, business cards, credit cards, phone bill, etc.
-I comment like a crying girl. (Post 140) by wildcard_redneck. I guess crying girls and leftie cat ladies post the same. Hormones? Allergies?
-I'm a Jew hater and terrorist defender. (Post 141) by packrat35. This is news to me. I'll have to disclose this to my Jewish friends and also find terrorists to defend.
-I have a boyfriend who got his 'pecker' blown off. (Post 153) by TheThirdRuffian. I kind of got the feeling that TheThirdRuffian was saying this so I'd break up with my 'peckerless' boyfriend and date him instead. I started with one comment on this thread and now I'm getting hit on repeatedly by guys. When did Grindr subscribers join threads on Free Republic?
-I'm Palestinian. (Post 229) by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin. I see that MeneMeneTekelUpharsin admits that Palestine exists. I've seen conflicting statements about that during protests over the last several months but MeneMeneTekelUpharsin sounds like he knows what he's talking about. From earlier in the thread, I thought I was Iranian and then French, but hey, people can change.
-I'm a very sick individual. (Post 244) by EinNYC. I assume that's mentally sick and not physically sick because I don't have any physical symptoms. I'm fortunate to have such a caring medical professional diagnose me here. I've benefitted so much from different categories on the forum; politics, economics, 2nd Amendment Rights, music, gardening (thank you Diana in Wisconsin), and now adding in Mental Health diagnoses within other threads.
-That I live to try to guilt people. (Post 244) by EinNYC. I'm so grateful for that clarification. Right up until this thread, I had no idea what I was living for, but now I know. So few of us are aware of our life calling.
-I'm a player-hater. (Post 252) by one guy in new jersey. I don't know what that means but I can catch up on the trending lingo from New Jersey and find out. If it's a good thing, I'll expand on it. If it's a bad thing, well then I'll have to address it. Am I a combined player and hater? Am I someone who hates players? Is he the player that I'm hating on or is it players in general? What 'playing' is involved? The only 'player' slang reference I know is related to the dating game. Wait, is he hitting on me too?
-I'm Muslim. (Post 256) by MayflowerMadam. It's new to me. I don't know what adjustments I'll need to make but I'm sure she'll help me figure it out. She seems to know so much about it.
-I'm a moron. (Post 259) by TheThirdRuffian. I've suspected this for a while and am grateful that it's not worse - that I'm an imbecile or even an idiot. I may be able to confirm it with the First Ruffian and the Second Ruffian but I don't see their usernames in the system. I'm fortunate that there are at least three of them I can reach out to, to help me with my diminished mental capacity. TheThirdRuffian may have experience from working in the Biden administration and I'm grateful that he shares here on the forum despite his administration being at severe odds with conservatives.
Yeah it happens like that once in a while...then some other thing comes up where your views and some of those others will be in alignment and suddenly we’ll all be friends again.
The world is ugly and the cleaning of it all up is going to get stranger and uglier yet. God in Heaven will direct it as his messengers have been mocked, threatened and many killed and will be killed.
Israel has taken to a new technological strategy...how to reach its enemies without broadening the violence to noncombatants.
There has been muted commentary from all MSM and governments everywhere. I suspect every enemy of Israel is now regarding cell phones and pagers with paranoia! How far can Israel intercept and modify products in the supply chains and what and who do they know who are the supplier operators who sell communications equipment to these actors in the middle east?
Innocence has become a luxury and even the best of us have been cast in shadow!
