A lot of freepers are just jackasses...it's always been this way.

As a southerner I have listened to the vilest snottiest more arrogant smears one could imagine for a so called conservative forum

really we are all here for a couple of things:

News of Interest

The option to spout off about it to feel like we are doing something whilst we often feel impotent about our country in decline

but probably most decent folks here have their circle of posters they like and follow and probably know personal info about and just share some parts of their lives together through this association...this is likely the main reason that keeps folks here

the smartassed callous stuff is probably male...younger single cubs just showing off

the forum is overwhelmingly made up of middle and older women at home...many divorced or widowed...I don't see them showing out like this

anyhow...they will call it gallows humour while totally ignorant of what that term really is...where I am from we call it “tacky”

Yeah. I wouldn’t call it “hate.” It’s just callous, ignorant, unfeeling, inhuman jackasses, acting like callous, ignorant, unfeeling, inhuman jackasses.

What a horrible thing, for the entire family. They are apparently still searching for the missing brother and have not given up hope yet. It might be that he is still alive. I would say it’s unlikely, but people have survived unlikely things before. Prayers for the whole family.

For most of my 53 years, I have lived in or, at least, had family in Florida. I believe this is the first fatal sinkhole I have heard about. I do know that with the lowering water table in Florida, they have become more common.

Thanks for the reply but I think it’s obvious I wasn’t speaking to you.
