Krodg makes absolutely excellent, SANE, and POLITE points. Several of you jump on him/her like children. "Oh yeah? Well your mother is fat!" That kind of emotional, childish reaction is the same kind of thing that pisses most of you off about the "Arab" world. Baghdad Bob doesn't have a military leg to stand on, so he calls the Americans names. You can see how rediculous it is when he does it -- can you see how rediculous it is when YOU do it?
What is wrong with "you people" that you can't see the point that is trying to be made? And why can't you respond in a HELPFUL (rather than devisive) way?? Krodg is simply making a point that if you want to drop in for news, it is utterly impossible. You can't sift through 6000 posts to get a "quick update."
Here is an example of a HELPFUL reply:
Krodg: To get the best headline updates on BREAKING war news, click on this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/t-breaking/browse And to get all the news/activist topics posted, click on this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/t-editorial/browse After someone showed me WHERE I could find the news I was looking for, then it was no longer important that I couldn't sift through 6000 posts of wankerisms. So I completely empathize with Krodg... both the frustration of not being able to get the news due to all the chit chat, and for being stonewalled for even bringing up the subject. But now that I can find the news AND chat, I'm a happy camper. :-)
well you are nice and only here for six days,,quit trying to shame us ole timers. Blogd just comes across as such a judgemental controlling ole boy that he gets on my nerves. again, this is a situation room not a newspaper. Other sites do that better. Besides I am exhausted from the war and don't want the thread cops around here!!
He got the reply he deserved.
I don't take kindly to being "told what to do" by someone who has a peeve.
My replies involved no name calling, just my opinion on what this thread is. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I'm wrong.
I know exactly what he was trying to say. And personally I find it ridiculous. After 22 days, anyone knows this is a LIVE thread. There are hundreds of others to get breaking news. We break it here also, but then we chat because this is how we are watching the war.
I'm glad you found Breaking News also...I wish more people would bother to read everything Free Republic has to offer.
I bet rintense gets all kind of "hate" posts when she posts her daily pictures...(can't these be smaller? I have dial up) etc.
Can't please everyone in ONE thread.
