Reread your comment. For your convenience, ““20. People who have been around here since last week who think they know better.”

The implication if your post was that people who haven’t been around here as long as some “think they know better”. Your comment implied that a poster’s sign-up date was more important than the views they expressed.

Posts that assume everyone should know the location and party affiliation of every local yokel, i.e. “Aloicious P. Shagnasty has brought shame to Bohunk!” D or R? Where TH is Bohunk?

Divine righters who call everyone a RINO.

Posters with absolutely no sense of humor.

That’s one of the reasons I lurk rather than post very often. Used to be folks said something intelligent, gave some insight, shared something that was worthy rather than sound like a bunch of ignorant punks giving each other high-fives in an echo chamber.

I have to agree with you there. Not only do I post a lot less because the level of discourse has deteriorated, but I don't even bother reading half the threads I see because I can predict the contents of the first 50 posts without even looking (e.g. "Bush's fault!", "We're doomed!",etc.).

Other than that, I dislike the number of RINOs and Big Government suckers we seem to have added to our membership in the last few years - just about the same time that the level of intelligence seems to have dropped on FR. Coincidence?

I’m with you.

If ever these terms were banned from FR, it would be hugh, and extremely series. In fact, I’d be stuned, despite being unaffected by most beebers.

Now, if someone would please hold muh beer, I have gun to clean.

I kind of like those. It’s fun trying to guess which state it’s from. Like watching a movie and trying to guess which city it’s in by catching a street sign or a newspaper truck.

I basically read the articles posted and quickly scroll down to see if anyone posted something worth reading. I don’t get far before going to another article.

As for this particular forum, like the government, it has been run into the ground by those who do not have our best interests at heart. That includes

"That woman must have some beautiful sisters and handsome brothers cause she soaked up all the ugly that family had."

Not bad. I prefer "fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down".

“Not good.”

Satire posts pretending to be real news.

Threads that gradually morph into chat threads after 300 posts or so.
