Ok, So what's the deal with "5", I have a general idea of what it is but i want specifics. You see it everywhere and in all forms, what the heck is "5"?, other than the number after 4, before 6. Did Freepers start this trend?

After I was 5'd last night, I looked at the image links and while most are from widely used sources, they can certainly be used to capture IP addresses particularly when the thread is crowded with them. Here's some from this thread: "http://216.40.241.68/contrib/edoom/Lurking.gif"

LOL

This is golf though! dope smokers beat the drunkards!

[Lazamataz]

Why is it that everytime conservatives stand up to the left, you immediately start equating us to Nazi's?

The term brownshirts is shorthand for belligerant and disruptive 'goons' intending on preventing constructive action. I don't mean to equate you with Nazis.

[FreedomFriend]

I've tried to have reasoned debate with these people. They won't listen. However, maybe some day they'll come around.

[TLBSHOW]

you were a busy beaver

Well, you won't get many converts by spamming threads with pictures of numbers.

Enjoy - its your war not mine

You folks don't get it.

That is why we use the 5th column symbol. You are supporting their efforts.

The British made the mistake of saying the same things about Hitler.

Whem Saddam pulled his stunts we went in and upset his apple cart. We made a huge mistake by allowing the UN to take the reins from there on.

Sadam has been quietly doing his thing through third and fourth parties by supporting terrorists. He has been warring by proxy. He has the power and money of a state to build WMD and provide same to third and fourth parties who will do the deed.

He does not need a army to defend himself against us. He uses it to control his people. His people will do his bidding because they fear for their lives. He has shown in the past that he is capable of any deed no matter how unthinkable it might be.

Now, you tell me it's not your war. Fine! Someone will fight it for you, and you will be safe as always. The Brits know the result of appeasement. They know what happens if you play the game of "He has not attacked us yet so why attack him".

Use your head for something other than a hat rack.

"42 - it is the answer to life the universe and everything"

Hey I'm witcha! I just gotta let it sink in....kinda like the Losertarian License mantra....maybe if you say it to yourself enough times, you'll start to believe it.

42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42....

It's plain annoying, even though I support going to war with Iraq. While the #5 may be cute a couple times, more than that it's just annoying and disruptive and in no way enhances anyone's mind or position.

[FreedomFriend]

I've never spammed. I've had the "5s" directed at my way.

[Sir Gawain]

Temper? LOL, whatever old man.

Exactly.

[Howlin]

Laz, considering the fact that you hate just about everything on this site now, I find it highly amusing that you're here as the Graphic Guard, being all offended, acting like this thread has lowered the standards at FR.

And I find it very ironic, to say the least, that you are using the term "brown shirts."

"The term brownshirts is shorthand for belligerant and disruptive 'goons' [Where in the Hell did you get that?] intending on preventing constructive action. I don't mean to equate you with Nazis."

Oi...What a Putz.
