Tips on how to be a good "FReeper"
self ^ | 26 Dec, 2007 | Self

Posted on 12/26/2007 8:08:46 AM PST by Graybeard58

It seems to me that we are getting a lot of new members and the following may be helpful to them.

Live in a solid "red" state and when anybody complains about some asinine law in their blue state, tell them to "just move from there". The simplistic solution is always the best one. Refer to California as Californicate or Kalifornia. The people's republic of (insert state name here) is always good.

When an article appears about something negative happening in public schools, proudly proclaim that all your kids are home schooled and geniuses to boot. Extra points if you also state "Publik educashun suks" extra, extra points if you put "home school" in caps and add a few exclamination points.

Any article posted about guns being used in a crime, be sure to ask what caliber gun was used and berate the author for leaving out that very relevant fact. If the good guy shot at the bad guy and missed, tell everybody that he needs more range time. Helpful also to mention what an excellent marksman you are. Post a picture of one of your guns for extra points.

When an article about those deceptive credit card companies is posted, post a reply stating one of the following, "I don't have a credit card and never will", or "I have credit cards but pay all balances if full every month", extra points if yours is the first reply on the matter. If you can squeeze it in there, also let folks know that you don't own a television set anymore and haven't since 1967. If you can't get that in, you'll just have to wait for a thread about the MSM to post it. Don't even hint at the fact that most articles posted here are from the MSM.

A "noob" or "Newbie" is a member who has been here one day less than you have, an old timer has been here at least one day longer. Noobs opinions don't mean very much because they all started forming their political philosophies the day they signed up here.

Become adept at using these terms, Noobie, troll, DUer, idiot, bigot, moron (preferred spelling - "maroon"), IBTZ etc.

Join one or more of the following as soon as possible, Spelling police, grammar police, thread police. Extra points if you join all three

I'm not fully coffeed up yet,am I logged in? Any helpful suggestions or additions are welcome.

Don’t forget the crevo threads and call everyone you disagree with either a IDiot or evilutionist.

Then when you’re really losing the battle and personal attacks don’t work any more, compare the other side to Hitler. That’s always good for a zot.

you forgot to mention that good freepers attack co-habitators, people who have children out of wedlock, people with tattoos and piercings, and the obligatory “tramp stamp” and “donorcycle” comments.

you must also have quick access to a pic of a bunny with a pancake on its head, and pics of ann coulter, michelle malkin, britney spears (before and after shaved head) and all the jessicas, photochopped hillary, rosie, howie, and ted pics, and some sort of IBTZ pic.

N00bs should have to read all the Hobbit Hole and Anna Nichole Smith threads before being allowed to post vanities.

You got most of them. Just left out the one about anybody supporting any candidate other than Hunter or Tancredo needing to be called a RINO and driven from the site, ASAP. ;)

Yeah, old Jim is a noob.

I didn’t own a computer until 1998 and happened to see a link to this site on Rush Limbaugh’s site in 2003 and signed up the first day I saw F.R.

Crap, I’ll never get any of that html junk; I never travel here when I’m sober............, well, I’m usually not sober anyway, it’s just that I’ve got this, like, computer with a drink thing kinda liek smoke on the fone thing or whatever, but it’s almost implausible for me to recollect all that symiological stuff after a few drinks.

Remember “The Other Harry”? He’s deceased now but he posted some vanities in his time, many humorous ones or they wound up being humorous.

Hey noob, I’ve never used that word except in jest.

Your opinions are just as valuable as mine, unless I disagree with them.
