I want to hear some good ideas...

[johniegrad]

9.5, I'm feeling mice today and it's readable.

"Feeling mice?" What, you gotta sexual identity issue or what?

[b4its2late]

and while I have been lurking here a while, I don't LIVE here, so there's no way I've read up on everything that gets posted.

If you are for real, in time, you WILL live here.... LOL.

[anniegetyourgun]

Yep....bad start.

[kevkrom]

mooses

I've always been partial to "meese" as the plural for "moose", myself.

[RushCrush]

If you've been lurking, you'd know just how cynical we are.......

I say troll.

[AnnAdoringFan]

well, maybe I'll just go back to lurking. If I'm going to take time to visit a "discussion board", I don't feel that I have to take a bunch of crap for wanting to discuss.

[peacebaby]

OK, now that the old Freepers know you're a man, they'll quit busting your chops.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I knew you'd be there to help!

[freedomson]

We're a lot more cynical than we are able to express.

[Fiddlstix]

I'm a GUY (thus, Ann Adoring Fan), I'm NOT a troll, and while I have been lurking here a while, I don't LIVE here, so there's no way I've read up on everything that gets posted.

Here's some help...........

Ack! There's those manhands again.

[Jaysun]

oh, reading through the replies reminds me of another favorite of mine... get rid of government subsidies to big industries! (actually, I think I read that Bush's new budget proposal does this with big farming companies, for example). Also could do with airlines, milk and meat producers, etc.

Right. I think we should stop taxing them, giving them handouts, trying to control every aspect of the actions......
Freedom is the key. Some companies won't make it and some will succeed (making some wealthy - GASP) but all in all we'll end up with a better economy, cheaper and better products, and increased innovation.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Darn, I make some of the most inopportune typos!

[KC_Conspirator]

Here is a good idea:

Disband or deport the ACLU.

[freedomson]

Don't go away angry.

[teenyelliott]

Oh, no, didn't you read the earlier posts? I'm the troll! I'm the troll!

[kevkrom]

Don't be impatient. We've had a rash of trolls joining lately, so anyone who signs up and immediately posts a "vanity" (i.e., personal opinion, no story attached) thread, rather than just commenting on existing threads, is going to be suspect and draw a lot of attention.

Assuming you're legit (and I prefer benefit of the doubt, myself), just let it wash over you.
