Free Republic used to be a lot classier.

I wonder what happened.

Uhh, no. In a situation like this, you either prepare yourself for the ovens or to fight the NAZIs. Those hale fellow well met days are gone. Or haven't you been paying attention?

So, let me get this straight: you're going to fight the enemies by posting anonymously on a forum.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

“The virtue signalling here is over the top! LOL”

We are getting good at it....and being triggered.

What he said about Trump was vile. So much hate on the left. It’s a shame.

We wised up. Being nice is how we got here. We are in the political fight for our lives here. If you've not the stomach for it then stay home.

I don’t care about his politics, very sad that he passed, watched him and was a fan for years.

And what virtues to you have, pray tell?

I celebrate the death of my enemies :). That is one of my finest.

It is not “classless” to condemn the wicked.

Proverbs 17:15, Corinthians 10:5, etc.

It is classless to treat the wicked as just.

If this place isn’t classy enough for you, leave.

I got here before you.

Bye!

I didn’t care for the guy, but I can’t rejoice in the fate of a lost soul. Very sad.

The Boomers are not handling the later chapters of life well.

That is an interesting point.

A generation who's parents were emotionally distant and angry, the Boomers rebelled and lost themselves in a sense that they really had all the answers to what they perceived as what was wrong in the world. Free love, drugs, and selfish hedonism was their chosen path. All along the way they were convinced that there was no God and that self actualization was the true way to peace and happiness. They sought out and experimented with every sensory potential like drugs, but like Ezekiel, the great priest in the Old Testament, it was all vanity, all chasing the wind.

And, I wonder if you are correct. In the twilight of their years their sense of mortality has now become unbearably inescapable. And an overwhelming sense of futility of life haunting ever louder, all those wasted years, and for what? They have invested so thoroughly in their humanistic, liberal religion and now in the autumn of their years they are empty and facing an eternity unknown.

Yeah, maybe too philosophical here, but this subject has been on my mind and you pointed it out.

I don’t remember the “classy period”. It’s always been a Wild West sort of place where people said what they really meant. You know.... genuine.

Good to know you're not a Christian.

Suicide is a growing problem in the United States.

Frankly, I think they should ban suicide!

...and I know it’s a stretch (to say the least), but I don’t put ANYTHING past our Deep State at this point.
