You know that rag you've got under the counter.
The one you've used to clean the floor, wipe up paint, blot blood spills...
It's torn,
nasty,
pilly,
ragged,
marked by all it's ugly past...
so badly you can't distinguish it's original shape or color.
THAT is what these threads remind me of.
BTW,
Even the erotica writers I know want to hang this woman. Seems even they have boundaries that are lacking here.
"You know that rag you've got under the counter. "
Good simile for this. This type of thread, along with the obsessive posting of photos of women who are not classically attractive, always accompanied by some nastiness, represent the worst of Free Republic.
Whenever I see the "ugly woman" posts, I'm always curious what these posters grandmothers look like. Do they think the same thing of their older female relatives?
In some areas, Free Republic stands out as a forum for good discussion. In others, like these threads, it represents something else, entirely. It's not a pretty side of FR.
