This forum, over the past few weeks.months has gotten frankly... UGLY! This is a tremendously sad day for many. It is unimaginably sad for the Schindlers, for the many wonderful people who have been outside the hospice for the past two weeks, and it has been very sad for many of us who feel they finally have a place that they are able to voice their opinions and views, on Free Republic.
Terri Schiavo passed away today and in my heart and the hearts of most here, she is now with the Lord. Yet, there are those who feel it necessary to continue on this day, of all days, to blast our Government, the President, the Governor, Michael Schiavo, Felos, Greer, DU, other Freepers and anyone else they can think of... May I suggest that for today, we simply grieve together... We share our hopes and prayers for Terri's family. We pray that Terri has found peace and if need be, we pick up our in-fighting and our showings of the uglier side of Free Republic tomorrow.
I unfortunately feel this thread will not get as much attention as the others but I hope we can, just for today, leave our differences at the door...

Nice sentiments, though highly unlikely it'll happen. Lots of people here are running on pure, unbridled emotion and there's no reasoning with them. If it bothers you it might be best if you just keep your head down for now - and remember, how people react says everything about what kind of person THEY are.
NICE!!! now my cat Alley doesnt feel like she is the only one who is cross eyed.
c'mon over the water is great!
Thanks. The shrieking had gotten to me, and I was on the ledge. : )
Ahhhhh,,,those are cute!
In this particular case, I think it just goes to show you that no matter what side you were on, it hurt somehow, someway, and people are going to need to voice their thoughts. Sometimes they don't express themselves correctly.
So in the big scheme of things, I see no problem with it. This too shall pass. And Free Republic will survive it also.
My latest thought is FR is like marriage. You know I say I have been married 40 years, 34 really great ones, 4 not so great ones and 2 that were dreadful.
We are in our dreadful year. It will pass.
Is that a real pic or photoshopped? Amazing.
Now no one is to post pics of baby harp seals or I will cry. And yall don't want that!
I'm not sure. It's from Strangezoo.com which is part of Strangecosmos.com, so you never know.
The only thing that leads me to believe it might not be photoshopped is there is no puppy. All the bases would have been covered if there was a puppy! ;-)
How about a toilet trained elephant?
Eeeeww! Get out!
I don't want your cooties.
LOL!!! Please bring back the corn rows ;-)
I'm all for a bashing moratorium on all ... BUT newbies
