just got banned from freerepublic.com, I guess they aren't so "Free"...
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 03:46 PM by Kid_Niki
Ok so I go over just to take a peak and I see a topic on whether or not we are better off now than 4 years ago, it is linked to a story at CBS: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B98F0419B%2D36B7%2D43AD%2DAA0A%2D2F50CF104870%7D&siteid=mktw

The story ends up talking about the state of healthcare, and most the posters just ignored this. So i brought it up, and contiuned to post in response to some of the garbage being talked about.

The topic is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1213330/posts

Anyway, I'm typing along, trying to put forth my case, and give some of the fools over there some extra stuff to think about when some A$$ Holes posts this:

"You join this forum on a September 11 and the first thing you do is bash President Bush?
You better learn some manners, kid."

Fuck you dude! Edit: I did not Bash bush, I never said we weren't better off, only stated that neither canidate has a clear plan for Health Insurance...

Anyway, they banned me before I could reply. bunch of Bullshit!

1. Meh, they aren't worth your time
Please, spare yourself the pain of going to Freeper ville...unless you just want to laugh at their inhumanity. They are not fit for any rational, intelligent discussion.

5. No kidding..
All they could talk about was how much money they made, and how they were in the xx amount of digits. There is no way the people over there are REAL! I would never go around talking about my financial situation like they were. I may talk about what I made at one time but not currently, or how my business improved number wise. NUTS!

8. They're practicing the old Robert Tilton affirmation:
"Confession brings possession."

They know if you lie long enough, people come to think it's true.

So if they keep saying they're rich, someday the Heavenly ATM will open up and shower them with cash.

19. people who talk smack like that are usually only rich online.
i know TONS of people in real life with tons of money but you'd never know it from talking to them. you may have an inkling by really listening and piecing certain tidbits together but they certainly don't go around disclosing personal financial data.

3. i got banned during the Clinton sex fiasco
twice...I gave up. They can't take opposing opinions and when you confuse them with that kind of information it overloads the freepea sized brain and they start bumping into each other like mindless robots. lol

4. I used to post over there and It was fun. Just think like a greedy racist
I was told I was maybe not a republican when I said I thought the Presidents should not ride around in a bubble, specially in with the people who voted for them. Really set some of those people off. Seems I was a commie for saying that.

Welcome to DU, Kid_Niki. Not surprised that you didn't last long over at FR.

Tell you what -- just post here and say what's on your mind -- you'll find DU **much** more to your liking!

Cheers -- :toast:

13. There's no interest in "freedom" there. It's for angry fundies only.
The owner openly froths about stuff like "abortionism", "atheism", "homosexualism", etc., so Giuliani, Pataki, David Brooks et al would probably be banned quickly as "pinko trolls". Foreign policy anti-interventionists like Pat Buchanan et al would be tossed out for being "commie appeasers". Don't even bring up libertarians! This place allows a much, much wider spectrum of beliefs.

25. But surely there's a nice board of Illuminati conspiracy theorists
somewhere--I hope he finds his special place.

27. Ah, I love the smell of troll in the late evening
And to be called a bitch, besides--oh, what bliss.

Don't you have a life, Davey? Why do you waste your beautiful mind on us?

Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 11:17 PM by Minstrel Boy
this morning something told me I'd soon be seeing the original poster's avatar change to this:



He wasn't passing the smell test to me, and this topic seemed like an attempt to bolster his cred.

30. I think I have a good nose, too
Because as soon as he whined about why no "positive" stories were coming out of Iraq last night, then said the Illuminati created the UN, I alerted on him, and said, "Mark my words."

22. Funny, even though many said they were better off...
none related that in any substantial way to Bush policy.

They seem like a bunch of assholes to me though.

Anyone know of a website unlike FReepville or DU where people of
different political beliefs can debate each other?


If so, I'd like to know.

33. When I want to engage battle with Bush supporters....
I go to the Washington Post forums:

"No one of forcing you to stay here I don't think. If it's that bad, you can join Alec Baldwin and leave, like he said he was going to do if Bush won in 2000. (...he never left and neither will you...you'd both rather stay here and complain...)"

Yes, and I'll keep complaining as long is it is legal to do so.
