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.
Amen, what a tool!
and my sister just got bit by a moose.
******
Realli! Was she karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush?
Was the bite pretti nasti?
I can’t wait for Taco Tuesday. I have a hankering for cheese meat.
Maybe he meant "FuBar you"?
I can’t comment because your gripe contains no particulars - what you posted and when it was deleted, who (FR handle) insulted you, ect., ect. Not saying your complaint is empty, only that your presentation of it is empty.
Ive had a few posts taken down but didnt think it was a big deal.
As to the insults, I think its the generation that is roughly 25 to 39 year olds. The younger generation has less civility in general. Thanks to social media, anybody with a computer or iPhone can post their opinion at any time on any topic, often without reflection. When we were younger, we had to think things through more thoroughly before putting our ideas in print. As an attorney, it is quite jarring how younger lawyers act in court. I often see millennial attorneys taking everything so personally and getting into spats. The lack of civility is jarring. Also there are some trolls on the site.
Well, that wouldnt be a smart thing to post/say to mods/JimRob.
I was recalibrating my beeber the other day and got stuned
I refuse to exchange comments with posters who leap to ad hominum insults over differences of opinion, Especially those who can’t even respond with a logical alternative when they disagree.
It seems surprising to me how many can go personal nasty so quickly. Conservatives should be better than that. Sigh.
Fortunately, the majority of us here are reasonably civilized in the forum at least. I don’t know how you act in public LOL.
> Im wanting to pile on here somewhere to inflame the situation but dont know which side to take <
Try this: I love and respect the police. However, they are all tyrants and monsters.
It would be like throwing a hand grenade. Youd get a little piece of everybody.
Thats hugh and series.
If you are right, at least you gave more info than fighting kentuckian did.
Ill never understand flame wars or why people engage in them. Say your piece and move on. Not everyone has to agree with you, or even like you. Its an opinion site. Like a**holes, everyones got one. It makes no sense to engage in bomb throwing back and forth. Youre likely to never run into any of the folks youll find online, by accident or otherwise. Its a lot of unnecessary stress for no real gain...
Just enough to relieve the pain. And some for stress this lockdown has produced. Add a little when I cry for my 401k. Then a nightcap to help me sleep. But other than that, I’m a teetotaler. Wouldn’t touch the stuff except for special occasions. And depression. Just for medicinal purposes.
Very good advice....especially the cocktail/posting part ; )
Troll??
This ain’t the way, bro:
Warning! Rant about the two tier justice system and George Floyd.

I’ve got to sound off about the killing of George Floyd, an innocent man, by Minneapolis police. Im so fucking angry and upset I cant see straight. Some will say it was only one policeman with his knee on Floyd’s neck. The FUCKING POLICEMAN HAD NEARLY HIS FULL WEIGHT ON FLOYDS NECK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. And just before he died, Floyd pleaded that he could not breathe.
Everyone knows that when you put your body weight on someones neck for several minutes youre going to kill them the same as you know that if you point a gun at someones head and pull the trigger youll get the same results. The other policemen present are just as guilty as if their knee was on Floyds neck. Theyre not stupid. They know how the body reacts to pressure points and choke holds. They knew that Floyd was in distress and didnt give a shit. In fact, they were probably laughing to themselves as Floyds last breath ebbed away.
Im heart broken that an innocent man lost his life and now his family will suffer forever with his loss, knowing that it should not have happened. And Im angry as hell that we have a two-tier justice system, from city up to federal level, in this country. Everyone one of those cops should have been, not only fired but arrested and held until charged. ANYONE else, upon killing someone even accidentally, would be immediately arrested.
The two-tier system sucks. How about THE SYSTEM SUCKS! The system is the deep state, bureaucrats, lifelong, entrenched government workers. They are all members of the same club and we are not allowed admittance. These government workers at the city, state, and federal level, have been clinging to their petty positions of power since Christ was a Corporal, doing favors for each other and their friends while people like George Floyd, and you and I are damned.
Most of these government employees are of no use to anyone and are hanging on for their government pension, protected by their union, and will likely die of hypertension in their mauve colored cube. This is the system that let these cops walk knowing that George Floyd paid with his life for a forgery in progress and didnt think twice. FUCK THE SYSTEM, IM DONE WITH IT!
If the Mayor of Minneapolis or the Gov. of Minnesota wanted to show they had a sense of justice theyd have those four murderers arrested and set them up with a trial date about two months from now. That kind of action would go a long way towards quelling the riots in Minneapolis. But that wont happen because the governor and mayor are The System and see no need to change.
Honestly, I dont see this a racial thing but I sure as hell have a much better understanding of how blacks feel about the system and about police. I say, let Black Lives Matter do their damnedest on the streets of Minneapolis. Its the only way theyre going to get any kind of justice for George Floyd. God Bless George Floyd and his family and may they get justice.
