Free Republic

I first want to say that I’m an optimist. I now want to say that this news, combined with the latest acts of fiscal insanity by the Fed here in the states has me very worried. There’s a recession coming. A very bad one.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

You people make me sick.

I know this from my experience in Afghanistan where a leading cause of injury was from standing in between a German and the burger king in baghram.

A lot of the best Sci-Fi is on TV nowadays.

"I support the troops just not the war!"

Sorry, but he's just pandering now.

Another guy who doesn’t know about germans.

His state, I'm sure is the healthier: for who can read of Goethe without Goebbles? Heidegger and not Himmler? And, after all, what is a man profited if he should gain philosophy, music, poetry and art, but kill all the Jews of Europe? (Matthew 16:26)

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, 5
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, 10
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell’st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

I thought Hydrox were simply a clever scheme by Nabisco to market the Oreos that had been accidentally overcooked. Never knew they existed of their own right.

Ah well.

Oh come now, I'm surprised at you. You should beware of giving too much credit to this wonderful modern world of ours. When, after all, was Europe at its most productive, innovative and liberal? The Renaissance? Roman era? or today?

I'd advise you to look at some headlines before you give answer.

So if I get this right, all you have to do to nullify the Constitution, either in part or on the whole, is to prove that people are too dangerous to be trusted with their own rights.

This is a clever strategy. It doesn't involve overturning the 2nd Amendment, but leaving it in place (you can even recognize it as an individual right) with the stipulation that it'll never be enforced because the plebeians can't be trusted with it.

"I am devastated - it has always been my dream to be a soldier and have a great figure - and now my fake boobs have cost me my job."

I am strangely comforted by the fact that the German army has been reduced to this.

Muslims are honorable people.

They don’t want their daughters dressing as they please and prefer obedient submissiveness from their women because muslim culture is an honorable one.

Disobedience to the will of the family can lead a father to take his two unarmed daughter (teenage girls) to a remote area and shoot them to death. An honorable feat.

There is so much honor associated with this crime that the father is now in hiding, for fear that the rest of us dishonorable rogues might contaminate the fresh glory and honor from his slaying his family members with our music and dress.

He should come out of hiding! He should proclaim to all the world with the blood of his daughters on his hands, “I killed my daughters!!! I am an honorable man!!!”

I should like to see the response he gets.

I hope those speakers are powerful because they sure to stick out. One of the reasons I love my iMac’s design is its minimalism. If you didn’t read the manual you wouldn’t even know where the speakers were!

I’ve heard that’s a problem...I work at the EOC and handle a lot of the traffic problems.

I’m in Arifjan with 3-116th...out of Winchester!

There are other Freepers here at Arifjan? I had no idea!

I’m living in the Zone One I-Barracks

And what’s so infamous about it?

If the definition of the phrase “indecent liberties” is something you would not have done to your daughter then perhaps you should reconsider your statement.

That’s it exactly. One of Stalin’s worst crimes and probably his least well known. While these people were dying in the millions we had reporters visiting Moscow and when they came back they’d say “I have seen the future and it works!”

My God! This man was my age during the revolution and was "middle-aged" by the time of Голодомор and he still had such a long way to go! God bless him and keep him.
