The ten best reasons NOT to support FR
Click here to pledge your support! ^ | May 7, 2011 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 05/07/2011 1:53:43 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

1) I support a woman's "right to choose," therefore I cannot support FR.

2) I support "gay rights," therefore I cannot support FR.

3) I support "illegal immigration rights," therefore I cannot support FR.

4) I think guns are dangerous and so support "reasonable" gun control, therefore I cannot support FR.

5) I support government provided health care, therefore I cannot support FR.

6) I think we should all pay our "fair share" and so support higher taxes for the wealthy, therefore I cannot support FR.

7) I think many times government can provide the best solution, therefore I cannot support FR.

8) I think the constitution is fine, but when more government control is needed it just gets in the way, therefore I cannot support FR.

9) I think all this talk about God-given rights is fundamentalist extremism, therefore I cannot support FR.

10) I support MY free speech rights and FR won't allow me to post my support for any of the above, therefore I cannot support FR.

If I put my daughters on the phone it could be a very expensive call - please send a big check. :)

............The credit card processing company required us to ask for a phone number..............

Jim, Thanks for the reply.

My credit card company knows how to get in touch with me!

In fact, yesterday I got a 5 page notice from Bank of America - VISA - complying with Dodd/Frank, that they can sell my Social Security number to unaffiliated firms, and I am not allowed to block it.

Even though an SS number is not allowed to be used for identification! I cut up my card and sent it back to them with a strong note attached.

Interesting times we live in, watching the world’s greatest power rapidly losing influence.

Jim, I shall process a modest donation. Keep up the excellent work.

Roger Spence

... but then...he is APatientMan.

OH, good point! Would he like to listen to Pat describing every "Magic: The Gathering" card, including details descriptions of the illustration, and the illustrator's name and all the other cards he's illustrated? Pat has all of this mentally cross-referenced ... so I don't know why the multiplication tables are such a hurdle.

Yep. There are some who believe they are owed a free ride because they disagree with FR policy. Rather than be a freeloading complainer, donate or leave.

***********************************************

It's one thing to be a "freeloader", because some can't afford to donate, and there is always hope for many of the others, but to be a "freeloader" out of choice and then complain about this site is, imho, despicable.

We have FReepers that are in a bad state financially and I can understand that. But, as you said, not giving because you disagree with FR policy is petty.

I'm sure he'd love to talk to Pat, who sounds like a fascinating person to me.

The multiplication tables for me were pure rote. Very boring, but useful.

Jim, just signed back up for the monthly. It's not much, but as long as the business keeps going it will be there.

If you have any kind of low-cost calling plan and your daughters would like to talk to my daughters (13, 11) or sons (9, 7, 5, 2) ... FReepmail me. It would be worth it to amuse them all for a while.

And because of this the “donating” FReepers have left.

I’m sorry, so sorry, but I had to say it.
