The FBI has no sense of humor.
I hate it when the FBI knocks on my door or serves me a subpoena. Please spare me and maybe yourself from this very unpleasant experience.
Thumbs up.
Sometimes when I & another Freeper are still going tit for tat, each trying to get the last word, and I realize it's been 3 days since anyone other than the 2 of us have posted to some Dead(horse) Thread, I ask myself, "What the $&%#× am I doing? Is this a productive use of time, or what?"
This is good advice for other websites, too.
I was shocked about some of the posts being made in various “conservative” forums.
Reports are that General Washington went ballistic following the Battle of Monmouth. Word is that Troops were stunned at the General’s use of ‘colorful metaphors’ towards his Officers. and that they were shocking to Soldiers of the Continental Army in earshot.
me too! sometimes the tourettes attacks are free flowing and feel just right!
Consider using terms like, "Those ol' fuddy duddies are really wrecking things and I wished they'd stop it, darn it!"
Guilty conscience as well. My Irish temper has gotten me into deep waters here.
I can try.... I guess... maybe.
what about malarkey? can we say malarkey? :D
Thanks for having this website Jim. Did the FBI visit you? Out of respect I will not give my true feelings. However, I do think the FBI is our very own Gestapo. I hope that opinion is ok?
And so it begins.
That reply is a little weak coming from you.
I have come to expect better.
I’ll check my privilege.
Thanks, Jim.
Good policies in general, thanks. I’m sorry for my occasional potty mouth. :-(
I do have empathy for those who get caught up in a debate. Something about our own perceived righteous indignation can cause a loss of perspective.
Thank you again JR. Cooler heads will prevail.
No, malarkey makes me uncomfortable, I would use the term baloney as an alternative.
Bkmk
For those who may not have noticed this thread, it might be a good action by FReepers to reply with this link to this thread when they encounter such speech by a FReeper..

Mea culpa Jim. A good New Years resolution for me. Thanks for all you do for us.
