I think you've got a good idea there.
I signed up a few days ago, and every time I post I'm accused of something - "isn't it convenient you just signed up to post about this topic" etc etc.
Hrrmm, I'm serving in the Israeli army, a war just broke out - isn't that a good time to sign up? LOL
Probation periods are good. At least there'd be less paranoia too about new users.
God Bless and keep you safe.
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. :)
For reasons that would take a while to explain,Freepers are quite wary of newcomers...particularly those who seem to be less than enthusiastic about the "conservative" message.
As time goes on,folks here will come to realize that you're for real,friend.
Welcome to FR!
Welcome to FR.
May the Lord keep you safe.
Zotting trolls is as close as I intend to get to combat. You have my respect.
Praying you get the job done, are victorious and return safely. God speed.
Well, if you lurked for any length of time, you would know that a strong dose of skepticism is in order for those who start posting threads the first day on the site.
That said, welcome. And happy hunting for Hezbollah scum.
Stay safe.
The news from Lebanon and Gaza is sparse unless it involves the American evacuees who had nothing to eat but sandwiches for nine hours on a cruise ship while their butts were ferried to Cyprus. Except on FR, where there are at least somewhat current threads where the militry situation allows. BTW, it is required to ding noobs no matter what, kind of like testing a future spouse to see if they are as pure as they claim.
When you have been around her for awhile, you can spot disruptors so they are easy to spotlight for others and then they get zotted.
Stay safe and God be with you and your fellow soldiers who are fighting for the freedom to live without terrorist attacks. This American is so proud of all of you and what you are doing right now. Every terrorist that is taken out is one less that can kill innocent people.
Maybe the Lebanese Government will wake up and realize they have to do something to rid their Country of this terrorist organization. We can always hope!
No, there's still be a time of skepticism. However, it should also be said that some of the most liberal of libs have been members for so long they can't be officially called "trolls"--which isn't to say I don't call them that privately. Consider it an initiation; before long your signup date will be old enough no one will pay attention.
God Bless you for all that you do young lady!
Apologies if you're for real and FReepers were too tough on you as a newbie this week. It's a learned behavior, and you'll see why if you spend much time hanging around Free Republic!
That said, may God be with you. Go get 'em, girl!
Thank you for your service.
I'd love to hear some of your story when you can tell us about it. Put that down for when you get back and can let us know more about what you are doing.
You said, "I'm serving in the Israeli army, a war just broke out - isn't that a good time to sign up?". I would answer your question that no, its a stinkin' time to sign up and shouldn't you be fighting a war? Patriotic usernames do not ensure veracity. What you write defines you. The objective of the pretenders is to spread division.
Kick some Hizbollah butt!
May God keep you and Israel safe and pugnacious!
Welcome to FR!!! and stay safe!
Is there a large amount of jewish Americans men/women who have joined the effort?
"I'm serving in the Israeli army, a war just broke out -"
YOU GO GIRL!!!
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers..
Welcome, WELCOME to FR!!!
Welcome my FReeper FRiend.
