for FReepers to stop posting subliminal messages that we supplant by reading the words. I don't think we should tempt one another with the words that charge our minds and thinking processes with a need or desire to respond.

Do we really need to hear about another pedophile, or SUV running over innocents?

If I can't have this my wish for a Christmas present, then I'd like to propose we make a New Years' Resolution that we will think carefully about what we post.


Right up front we're welcomed with;

"Established in 1996, Free Republic is one of the earliest and largest online gathering places for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!"

Which, in my opinion should include the barest minimum of sick social commentary.

I remember back in the day, we were all about, and over, the Clintons and their corruption.

There was the occasional social commentary, but we were more interested in teaching ourselves truths others may not know and learning about people joint heirs in the cause.


... or maybe I'm just old and nostalgic

Click-bait titles/subjects are here to stay whether it’s on internet links or FR post links. If the subject of the post depresses you, don’t click on it.

We are beyond the corruption of the Clintons and are in the middle of a coup by the Left with very little civil recourse.

I sort of agree with you.
There are no submliminal messages

BI too get tired of seeing crap articles that are pushing the democrat's perverted agenda.
There are no submliminal messages

How many articles on trans do we really need?
There are no submliminal messages

How many articles on the Jan 6 commission do we really need. If we ignore them, will they maybe just go away?
There are no submliminal messages

Sometimes I wish FR wasn't filled with politics and was just astronomy of the day pictures, and happy messages.
There are no submliminal messages

So let's get rid of all the negative subliminal messages.

I can’t quite parse your post.

But I want World Peace for Christmas (and a Republican takeover in the New Year.)

We’ve been censored enough, unless you want to be the person that tells the forum what is acceptable news. Most of what you consider crap is not being covered by the news. That includes the Maxwell trial or the feral negro plowing over people. BTW Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are pedofiles. Want to censor that?

I’m still pondering a portion of your last sentence:
“...teaching ourselves truths others may not know”

Donald Rumsfeld said something like that back in 2013.
“Known unknowns”.

Aw, man. There’s a freakin’ octopus hanging out in my dishwasher again.

I hate it when that happens.

Hmmm...

If you outlaw talking about climate change, perversion, prayer, abortion, education, election integrity, mask mandates, moochelles’ bump, Xiden’s dementia, cold fusion, and all vanity posts, we need a list of the approved items to discuss...

That would make most of the thread discussions fairer, diverse, and free of those troubling indications like racism, anti-semitism, anti-communism, anti-LGBTism, and all independent thought...

“maybe I’m just old and nostalgic.” Maybe. Maybe not. You make very good points. Keep up the good work. In other news, FR has excellent comments on a variety of topics. Prayers and donations go to Mr. Jim.

I want a monarchy and Jesus to return. Humanity is screwing up the planet and putting hope in what is going on is futile. Hey Jesus? Harpazo time? Please? I’ll wait....

One man's 'social commentary' and 'subliminal messages' is another man's truth and exposoure.

I reject most strenuously your call for us to go back to sleep. You're better off wishing for a Red Ryder bb gun, but I'm afraid you'd shoot your eye out, nancy.

Maybe we need a rule. In order to start a thread on a negative topic, you need to start at least 1 maybe 2 on positive topics.

Required for every article that is from left wing media, or on culture wars, or crime, or is negative, or depressing, or on what’s wrong in the world.

You have to find and post an article that is positive, uplifting, vituous, celebrating what is right in the world, celebrating victories,

And maybe a rule that every thread needs a picture of a beautiful woman whether it’s in any way related to the thread or not. The rule that you have to post pictures on any thread that is about a beautiful woman has served us well. But it’s time to up the game. We can do better.
