The rules say "be considerate" most of the Freepers are anything but, constantly hurling innuendo, names, and insults. But it's my fault or something like that so my threads get pulled without any explanation. And then the mods call me "thick". That's considerate?
I'm a rock solid conservative, retired, 24 year Army Vet, and still work for the Army. I'm a lifetime member of the VFW and NRA. I'm a 20 year contributor to FR and the mods wont even answer a question, but instead call me names and insult me.
NAH!
An opus is a final gasp of indignation hurled at an unsuspecting innocent for the sheer thrill of committing suicide in public. There are no rules for this nor should there be. The truly great opi are those that generated sympathy and revulsion in the same breath. They were madness, for, what else is it to express madness but to be nothing else but mad?
A remnant remains because there is no other place for us to go.
This is, to me, an iconic post.
LOL...
I don’t often Opus...
But, when I do...
I’m the biggest pussy Opus’r around
Suck it up Buttercup.
FB obviously refers to Flying Barrel, that revolutionary design of 1930s Lockheed engineers for a new Air Force bomber.
The Flying Barrel was pure aeronautical genius, but the aircraft never got funded for development. Before the project could get off the ground, the Deep State squelched FB due to its flawed plan for delivering large kickbacks to Congress.
Thus, today, the most common usage of FB is in hurling an insult such as, "I couldn't give a Flying Barrel what you think", meaning a stupid idea that will never fly in the real world.
FR also has some whiny, snivel-nosed snowflakes who get their wittle feewings hurt and then go off on a rant...
The gangs arrive and sit on opposite sides, and after a troublesome start at the meeting, Wilkerson asks for volunteers from the gang to take up an offering. Nicky and the Muslim Abdullah of the of Bishops are two of the 4 chosen, and they pressure people to give. Yet while all expect them to keep the money, Nicky proposes they cross the preacher up by doing the unexpected, and return all the money. And which provides a lead for Wilkerson's preaching, that you do not have to conform to what people think you should do, and that God is:
"the only One who really knows why you do the things you do...the only One who has the power to do anything about it." And that "love is the gutiest thing you'll ever do... it's turning away from your hate..." "God sent His only Son into this world." "Each of your here has heard about the 10 commandments. Most of your here have broken every one of them."
In response to the exhortation to repentance and love, one of the members of the black Bishops gang stands up and protests, "Hey man , my brother died from a Mau Maus rumble! And you say you want me to love them honkeys? Yes, I'm going to love them. I'm going to love them with a sharp blade!"
To which Wilkerson forcefully responds, "Now shut up and listen to me! You [Bishops] say you've got to kill them because of what they did to you. You've [Mau Maus] got to kill them because of what they did to you. Everyone's griping abut this atrocity or that tragedy. All I hear is what a rotten deal we've all got. Let me tell you something! Jesus Christ was perfect. And they crucified Him! And He never said one complaining word...He felt pain just like you feel pain..they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. He didn't have to let them do that to Him. He could have called out a whole legion of angels...He could have slaughtered all His tormentors. He didn't....bleeding for you... It's all paid up; its free...accept it...open up your hearts and let all that bitterness roll out and let Jesus Christ come in."
See post The solution to racial war (The Cross and the Switchblade movie).

I haven't had any posts pulled but I have seen the mods treating people like idiot 5 year olds. They are also loath to answer any questions. We could use some guidelines for mods.
What a MARY you are.
True
Hi.
This is becoming an “Undead” thread.
5.56mm
Well, we have one that we’re currently inhabiting, but we’re up above 2,000 posts now, so let me run this past The Mover.
What do you think, Ganag? Is it time to move? Should we not look a gift horse in the mouth?
