That should be Good for you. I'm really not a narcissist.

That doesn’t jibe with the above. Perhaps you are referring to a different branch of the “fellow travelers” family. Are you sure John Bunyan “popularized” it? Have you got a link? Ihave always and only know it to mean commie. When I see/hear fellow travelers, a red flag goes off, if you catch my drift.
I did have AI write me a program that scans the feed, counts the number of occurrences of an article, and presents them grouped by count, which is pretty cool. I can immediately tell what's popular and then click right in.
As for being here for 21 years, all that makes you is a "youngster"!
Many things you mentioned I too have problems with, and could add more. I stopped really engaging long ago after being hounded for posting my own work. So I seldom if ever post anymore. Been here since 2/98, but I won’t be leaving, I’ll lurk post from time to time, but not much more.
I pray you find what you are looking for, but I must add, that some of what you complain about as being archaic are things I still find unique and enjoyable.
Good hunting, but newer and updated for the times is not always better.
I saw that post and was disgusted. I didn’t remember who posted it, but if it was Jaysin, then he really has no right to complain about anyone else.
you shower with tamato plants?
great way to save water :)
Live your updated images on your personal about page.
I may be barrowing a few
Thx!! Please, feel free :-)
They turned me into a newt!
But I got better.
I play the clown to make people see there's absurdity or humor in nearly all situations. At this fairly good nursing home (Ben Stiller doesn't work here) I'm reminded each day that someone's always worse off and time is the most precious thing we have.
Jimson did point out the inescapable fact that most of us are old and dying off. There's been a big surge in young people going conservative between Pelosi's "Insurrection" and President Trumps resurgence that don't know about this forum and believe ALL the net to be a leftist wasteland.
We need outreach that doesn't involve embarrassing attempts to appear cool. Or sniffing hair. As often as I've heard Fox News people repeating our posters' stuff nearly word-for-word it would be nice if they'd throw us a bone now and then.
+` bump to top
5.5 / 10 for sad pathetic goodbye posts. Wish you wee still here, but not totally saddened because you’re gone.
"I play the clown to make people see there's absurdity or humor in nearly all situations."
I try to do that as well, without turning into an obnoxious, arrogant condescending person like some of them are on FR. Sadly, there's a lack of sense of humor in some folks here. Some people just can't help offering their advice on how you should be living your life. They haven't figured out yet that there are just some old horses here that refuse to be taught new tricks.
I found Free Republic years ago from the Drudge Report. There was a link called Whitewater Files. I clicked on it, and been here ever since.
I stopped watching Fox News twice. The first time was in the aftermath of the 2000 election, when they called Florida for Gore before the polls in the Panhandle had closed. I went back on 9/11, then stopped completely when Obama was selected. I couldn't stand seeing his face, or hearing his voice over and over again throughout the day. I haven't watched any news programming on any platform since then.
Had you not have watered that sod, it never would have rained!
Worry not, that sod loves the water right now.
However, there are a few things that might not slow FR down but add t its experience. Such as adding a Like button. Maybe simple to do, maybe, and would cut down on posts to say someone likes something.
Same here.
I lump together, the Jewish issue, with the poor adherence to, and double-standard of, the enforcement or lack thereof . . . Jim Robinson’s code of conduct.
That apparently does not apply (is now a double-standard) re how Freepers treat one another . . . and thus, brutal flame wars continue, including a lot of smash face defined as (I paraphrase:) “being conservative and honoring Jim’s rules.”
I make a point of almost never using the word: you <— because it tends to become the tip of a stick that is thrown as an arrow.
I favor a code of conduct, and adherence, and enforcement. I grew up among warriors, all of whom are now gone. There was a very large amount of integrity, that I miss very much.
Presently, I stick around FR despite all the damages, noise, and tears, because somebody has to try and set an example for good behavior.
There is a long-running Freeper, Nathan Bedford Forest (I do not recall exactly his FRname), who took a breather some years ago, and then returned to FreeRepublic.com, determined to write well. In my humble opinion, he has done that. There are other members who are determined to write well.
Meanwhile, I have no money for bad behavior.
You totally missed the most offensive part. The first thing you said.
*female reproductive body part*?
What? He’s an ovary? A uterus?
And this response is not much better. Your anger issues are getting the better of you.
Hilarious besides. Have his mobile app.
