Outstanding picture - quote.
What’s ahead of us are existential threats to our survival.
So many of us modern western world creatures are soft and adle brained.
I’m afraid we’ll only be ready to steel ourselves for battle, after many of us go through terrible tribulation and trial by fire.
Correct, soon it will be get tough or die time. One might say the final crusade is upon us.
You are right.
Pardon my messing up.
I’ve tried to find out how to get rid of the quotation marks turning into alien ‘glyphs, however, I can’t find the article / instructions under the HTML sandbox.
When you have the time, please let me know how I can clean up affected posts, and prevent further cut n paste alien glyphs from making their way into posts.
BTW: I use a Samsung Android Smartphone to post, and I don’t recall having alien quotation glyph problems prior to people complaining the problem several months ago.
Thanks,
Scott
Isn't that redundant?

Yaah!
I'm afraid we'll only be ready to steel ourselves for battle, after many of us go through terrible tribulation and trial by fire.
I'm right there. Bold words, but we'll see. Honestly, I hope I am spared, if you can even guess at my fears.
One every hour.
Kuss em*q to them and the goats they humped in on..

-- Note where they are in the text, which will be where a hyphen, or an em-dash, or a question mark, or a quotation mark appears in the original text.
-- Then go to the bottom, click on the button labeled "Edit." The editable text function will then come back.
-- Now go into your text, backspace over each offending mark one by one, and reenter the mark back in using the ASCII text character which the Posting Form editor supplies for it.
-- When you think you are done, press "Preview" again to see how your revised text now appears as it will look if/when it is finally posted to the Forum.
-- Read through the previewed text to see if you have missed a character that still needs to be replaced with an ASCII equivalent.
-- Then go back to the "Edit" form and retype the one you missed.
-- Keep on cycling back and forth until the text appears the way it should be in the "Preview" stage.
-- When you are satisfied that the text is the way it should be, then you are done. Now go to the bottom, click on the button labeled "Post," and the article will go into the Forum for everyone to read.
The article will appear, as you and others wished it to be: now readable.
(Of course, while you are editing you will also put in the HTML tags that mark the ends of the original paragraphs, or reproduce portions of the text so that they appear italicized, or bolded, etc. as in the original, so that your final presentation mimics the author's intended format.)
You might want to conduct a trial exercise in this methodical replacement, using the Posting Form and some sample text pasted in the "Body of Thread" box, without actually posting it. Just quit by exiting from this Form without actually posting the sample text to the Forum. But use this method next time you do want to submit another article, eh?

2. Wife is Saudi born, just came over this year, helped in attack.
3. This attack was planned, uniforms, body armor, masks.
The koran, AQ, ISIS, and numerous mullahs and imams are writing the script. "Devout moslems" like this guy and his wife are acting out the play. There is a solution but people won't like it.
the question rises...... why does the Free Republic system no longer recognize such characters and reproduce the characters incorrectly?
I like contractions but don’t type the ‘ any more because of the incorrect rendering
*
Yesterday, every witness to the shootings said there were 3 people involved, dressed alike, and shooting. Wearing ‘tactical clothing-—ski masks—and heavily armed.
Today——they are ignoring the third person. Did the third suspect shed his outer garb & is now playing the role of an innocent??? American is way too eager to ‘give every person a 2nd chance’.
I tend to believe those who were there-—it was 3 attackers.
To even begin to understand the issues, you might want to start at Wikipedia's articles on ASCII (click here), abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, and UTF-8 (click here), a class of the Universal Transformation Formatâ 8-bit code table. From Wiki:
"Originally based on the English alphabet, ASCII encodes
128 specified characters into seven-bit binary integers as
shown by the ASCII chart on the right. The characters
encoded are numbers 0 to 9, lowercase letters a to z,
uppercase letters A to Z, basic punctuation symbols,
control codes that originated with Teletype machines, and a
space. For example, lowercase j would become binary 1101010
and decimal 106. ASCII includes definitions for 128
characters: 33 are non-printing control characters (many
now obsolete) that affect how text and space are
processed and 95 printable characters, including the
space (which is considered an invisible graphic)."
Your smartphone sends codes for characters that the FR interpreter cannot reproduce. However, if you use the FR text editor to replace the unacceptable codes that you are sending, its interpreter then gets codes it can interpret, thus rendering a readable string of ASCII-based characters, printed as words, numbers, spaces, and punctuation that are not discomfiting.
Does this start to make sense to you?
Actually at one time FR's interpreter used to render extended codes into characters like ¼ and ½ and ⦠and ž and ¬ if you knew how to enter them and get rid of the character which defines the table from which they are sent. The Greek letters taken from the TrueType Symbol font used to be accepted by the interpreter, returned to the text window in character strings representing the letters, and written in the Previewing box so they come out right, like
αποστολων
which sounds to us like "apawstawlohn" -- the genitive plural masculine form of the noun "apostle."
But now, when the Greek letters are put in the Composing window, they come back as:
αÏοÏÏολÏν
So, the old interpreter has been replaced, and we get garbage unless we personally correct the text ourselves. I, as well as many others, are not very happy with this new interpreter.
************
You take care, now, what you communicate to FR's text interpreter . . .
Respectfully.
Iran, of course.
