A few minutes ago I posted here about Linda Ronstadt. No swearing, no personal insults. Other posters here viciously attacked and insulted Ronstadt, their posts remain. My post got deleted within minutes. Are you guys really that scared? I believe in free speech and the exchange of opinions, obviously you don't. Mr Robinson, answer me: on what basis was my post deleted? I almost feel compelled to post on various other websites how I doubled up laughing about the cowardice on display here. Again, show me your courage please, cheers from the Leftist Dutchman!
Hooo-weee! You do have a way with words.
We have a puppy and you can pet it if you want see the cute little puppy
You are having entirely too much fun with these trolls. :^)
I think you covered all the bases in that reply!
Euroweenies are so unconscious!
Consider yourself eras*
Come on, Rocket Surgeon, you haven't been banned (yet). Say something.
good one!
see ya (FR doesn't have a high tolerance for whiners....thank God....just thought I'd let you know before you try posting again.)
High newby. Are you that gay witch I spoke to the other day?
Hey turdbucket, we are wating. Has your liberal leftist bravado fled now that you are challenged?
I did too and still am.......Hello? Hello? Where are you????????
wating=waiting
LOL!
Well, depends on the meaning of 'fun'.
I was shaking a troll like a maraca yesterday and Admin Mod snuck up behind it, smiled, waved, and then garroted the troll.
And laughed.
Laughed like I normally do.
It was scary.
And the Mod loosened the garrote for a second to let the troll get one breath before continuing.
And once it was over, the Mod said to the troll, "Trouble breeathing?"
About that time I ran off.
The troll asks, 'are you scared.'
Yes, but not of him.
hmmm...
thank you for the replies so far. At least my post was not deleted now. Thanks for that.
Yes I am Dutch and a paying member of our Green Left Party, which is in fact of the highest democratic standards, intelligent, pro-environment, and for a free exchange of opinions. To add: they stand for a good system of social benefits, care for the elderly, and a decent and accessible health insurance for everyone, which we (still) have. However, these venerable institutions are under threat from the current Dutch rightwing politicians, who have fallen under the spell of Marvin Olasky and Karl Rove somehow.
Going into Iraq was a horrific mistake. Doing so without the UN backing made it all worse. Doing so with some 25,000 'privatized interrogation specialists and linguists' (er...mercenaries IMHO) made it giga-bad.
So far, the upshot is that some 12,000 innocent Iraqi women, men and children have been killed, maimed, burned and evaporated, in addition to 1,000 coalition troops.
Meanwhile, no WMDs and no ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda have been established (according to US investigative committees).
Yes, you found out the sociopath Saddam. That is a plus. But it is perfectly possible that in the Iraq elections a triumph will be achieved by the Shi'ites and the Communist Party. Iraq well may be become a sister country to Iran. But hey, the USA wanted democracy, and may get it this way.
Where was the US when Rumsfeld was enjoying his tea with Saddam in the 80s while doing business, and the same dictator killed his own people by the 10,000s?
Dick Cheney is rightly looked upon as an outright war profiteer. He handed out contracts to Halliburton and KBR (his own people, to whom he will return eventually, no doubt) for re-building bridges and buildings which had yet to be bombed...
Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden is still free. And Afghanistan is in rapid decline under the token US standing army. The warlords are in charge, and heroin production is sharply rising there. And the Taliban are re-grouping too.
America and Bush jr. had the sympathy of the world after 9/11. With a historic gesture Bush then could have united the whole civilized world and have undertaken a concerted effort against terrorism. To leave Afghanistan half-finished (thus sending it back to its old state) and going into Iraq, the result is that the USA have lost this worldwide sympathy wholesale. That is deeply saddening, because another route could have been taken. World terrorism has risen sharply after Iraq, this proves that the War On Terror is a debacle. Rest assured that it will remain thus.
Our own Prime Minister, mr Balkenende, chose to march along with Bush and Blair. He too lied about the available intelligence before the war, and eventually, be it shortly, be it in years, he will have to face the facts.
Mr Blair, incidentally, gave a new twist to British Law. Apart from 'guilty' or 'not guilty', he invented the 'I Acted In Good Faith' escape phrasing. Unbelievable.
The only good thing to come out of this mess, this Pandora's Box that the West opened, is that George W. Bush will not see a second term as President. The polls are not in his favor anymore, and never before has a President been able to re-gain the precious 'swing voters' in so short a time span, surely not with the economic figures being what they are.
I'll raise a toast to John F. Kerry then. Cheers!

As a previous comment stated... you are new here. You are playing before a tough audience junior. Suck it up and post again.
And there's nice cats that luv to be scratched under their chins.
Hmm, any linquists care to comment? What would the "fear of Christians" be? Or the fear of Republicans"? Christianphobia? Republicanphobia? Does our mere existence frighten her or offend her?
Fully half the country fits in at least one of those categories. She is woefully ignorant. Perhaps she's been sheltered (an accusation frequently leveled at Christian parents who choose to keep their children out of public schools.) I suggest a long stay in middle America to educate her in the ways of real people.
Talking to one's self is a sign of impending mental collapse.
Could it be that the reason you haven't returned is because you've got your finger stuck in a dyke?????
