I’ve always liked learning and occasionally teaching.
Anyone can identify someone as a “Freeper” for identification purposes...if they have a FR handle and are “conservative” and not a lib-troll.....but I don’t call people a “Freeper” unless they’ve spent at least ONE INSTANCE of counter-protesting the lib-weenies or some other form of getting out of the house for some activism.
Being a “Freeper” requires action.
Perfect teeth and a Dental Plan.
My Freeper mantra: Read more, post less.
Intolerance toward those of us who are smarter, prettier and more rational than all the others, regardless of gender or party affiliation.
Now, a good FReeper is the one who is kind and compassionate and donates to the Save the Great Pumpkin Foundation.
Since I've already knocked myself out, no one else need bother to praise me. I am far too humble.
A real FReeper is one that has contributed monetarily to this website at least once!
COnservative values, nifty slippers, shark-like skin, and popcorn. Lots and lots of popcorn.
Freepers have to ability to use logic, common sense, and facts instead of emotions. I’m not saying that a FReeper is not emotonial but a FReeper uses emotions in the correct way.
a computer and FRee time
If you’ve ever hijacked a post.......
you....might be a FReeper!
Here’s your sign!
Where minds ‘in use’ meet
rochester_veteran is officially a known Freeper
I kinda like the ring of that, known Freeper, kind of like the unknown comic! :-)
The first two real Freepers in my opinion was Statler & Waldorf from the Muppet Show.

A freeper has to scream back at news stories and make pithy, insightful (and usually correct) comments at each and every news story, especially within the context of correcting the newsbabe.
He also has to determine if a story, with his commentary is worthwhile to post.
While on vacation with no PC, a FReeper exhibits withdrawals as he cannot comment on those stories.
Personally, A FReeper has to be able to defend himself and his actions against the bias and bad attitudes of other FReepers who are wrong, especially in the endless bicycling threads that always devolve into name calling of us Spandex wearing cyclists who ride with traffic and being told look like we belong at the local pride parade.
Over 100 posts and no one has it yet.
Unless you’ve had your beeber stuned. Unless you know how HUGH AND SERIES these threads are, unless ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US, you are no FReeper!
