The spirit unleashed by the Schiavo affair will destroy FR if it is not changed. And that will be a tragedy far beyond anything associated with an individual death.
I have had my share of calling names and name calling but that around this is much worse than anything I have ever seen here. The destruction of the influence of this site will be the Left's greatest victory in decades.
It MUST not be!
I remember a time when "conservatives" prided themselves on always speaking logically. We were not ruled by our emotions----like the liberals were.
We may have been "passionate"....but rarely, if ever, did we attempt to make our point using emotions. Always FACTS...and we never spoke without cold hard proof for our POV. I learned by being challenged on more than one occasion...."source"..."what is your SOURCE?"
Then came a time....when all we heard was....we had to learn to fight dirty like the Dems or we would never win anything. We were much too nice.
I wonder how much crassness....dirty fighting....and name-calling....the "young'uns" have picked up during that transition. Emotions trumping logic.
We need to teach the "children" well...(HUGE GRIN!)...(from one grandma to another)
The only difference is that after having been subjected to that type of assault throughout the years and surviving it unscathed, FR may have justifiably become enraged at such a classless act, but realized, unlike before in it's infancy, that it's going to take a much, much bigger beast than a punk like Hannity to disrupt this forum in any permanent, negative way.
LOL.
Hold it. This is perfectly symptomatic of the real topic of this thread. We would be all better off if we would ask the other party what he or she thinks instead of telling them. It's almost always a mischaracterization, and it brings more heat than light.
Perhaps the discussion between you two might find a more appropriate place than this. No disrespect, just a suggestion.
What I have seen here the last month is far worse than any of those incidents and I never agreed with those sentiments when expressed this is much different in that it has exposed a fanaticism of an extremely disturbing nature.
I didn't see those other things as affecting anything.
Thank you for that great historical perspective!
[did I 'bump' wrong? I'm sort of new at this.....]
On all of that, we agree!
Excellent point.
Back to Communication Skills 101.
A fifteen year long euthanasia riiight which cost millions and millions and hundreds of court hours. O yeah that is one effective process. The world wide conspiracy is REALLY ramping up the next "victim" might only take TEN years.
What a joke what a perversion of the language.
Well, I reckon you know I agree. Good thread.
This forum is in the tradition of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. While the left enjoys Hegel and Engels. Anyone with a ? should read about these people while laying about in bed without a frisky partner. Hobbes and Locke signed our most famous document.
OK, I'll be nice. Anyway, he started it.
LOL! I agree 100%!
And why didn't you address anything to the other guy? He's the one putting freepers into boxes.
BTW, my orignal signup date is 2002, so I'm kind of middle aged.
The only possible "torture" for Terri was not allowing her to pass over a decade ago. And the torture this charade has unleashed upon FR.
How does one uncover his user ID?
