This thread is great. Lots of information. And no (lame) jokes being posted. This is FR at its best.I know so little about the subject, I sure can’t comment on Putin and Turkey. But this thread is a place to learn— and an example of what FR can be once again if the constant joking will stop. A little humor is fine, but the comedians are trying to take over. I wonder sometimes if they are liberal plants just trying to wear everyone out. Many threads will have 50 joke attempts but only 3 or 4 informed posts.
But don't let the jokes turn you off. It is a very stressful time on Planet Earth and people have many different ways of dealing with stress, and I happen to think that joking around is a fine medicine.
FReepers also happen to have some of the finest senses' of humor on Planet Earth.
“FReepers also happen to have some of the finest senses’ of humor on Planet Earth.”
I agree with you on that. Sometimes I have actually Laughed Out Loud while reading.
But you have to admit there has been a change in the past several years at FR. Many threads with nothing but jokes or sarcasm...and on serious topics where one is hoping to find informed comments.
As I said, a little humor is fine. In fact, it does help to cope with harsh realities. But too much is just too much, and it turns important threads into post after post of just silly stuff.
Such rational and informed comments let some of us know, that some people care very deeply for America. I salute you.
