Nope that's it I'm officially through arguing with freepers that is it |
|
It's just not worth it anymore they will NEVER understand for one simple reason
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND LOSS OR SACRIFICE
Any freeper who is still a freeper at this point you will find has never shed blood, never shed someone else's blood in war or self defense, never lost a loved one to tragedy, never had to learn to fight in grade school to maintain his/her lunch money, never has had a hard job at an early or current age, never grew up in a real city with real problems rather lived in a small town of less than 10,000 where the robbery of a taco bell would be the frontpage for the next 5 years, always could depend on parents to fund home and food and luxories (thanks for the mercedes dad!) never had to learn how student loans work for the same reason...
These people just don't understand nor will ever understand they are hopeless and I am through with them, if ever pressed to argue with one at this point I'm just going to demand to know their background and after confirming at least one or two points from the list I gave above I'm just going to say "I'm not wasting my time with you you are incapable of understanding it's not your fault but you've been sheltered and pampered to the point where tragedy and loss are not words in your life's dictionary"

5. No heart, not brains, no courage... |

Kind of like the tin woodsman, the scarecrow, and the cowardly lion all combined -- except not as cute.

They are completely wrapped up in idolatry, that is, the worship of things other than god.
They worship Mammon, Mars, Eros, and George Bush.
A freeper never met a war he didn't like (they even like the democratic ones, at least to watch). They idolize the rich. They are sexually repressed and they CANNOT stand ANY criticism of the president.

7. They are incapable of a thoughtful discussion. |
|
It is a waste of time and energy UNLESS they open the door and actually L-I-S-T-E-N, which is a rare event.

For 25% of the population, * can do no wrong. He could kill both his parents with his bare hands, and beat his wife in the street, and they would still applaud.

11. Who would bother arguing with someone living through "re-newed |
|
adolescence" and thinking they somehow should tell us how to vote.

14. That doesn't fit a LOT of freepers I know. |
|
Most of my family are Republicans.
Shed blood: Most of them have served in the military. A couple are old enough to be Vietnam Veterans
Lost a loved one to a tradegy: Any extended family will have a tradegy or two. We have lost members.
Fight in grade school: All schools have bullies.
Hard Job: All of us were sharecroppers. I think picking cotton the old fashioned way is hard work.
Parents to fund education: All of us were sharecroppers.
Luxuries: Never had any. We were sharecroppers.
Student Loans: They weren't around back then. Some had the G.I Bill, others worked full time and went to college full time. Most didn't make it to college.
I happened to turn out as a Democrat. Most of my cousins are Republicans. They have the attitude of: "I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and others can too."
Be careful about stereotyping anybody, even freepers. Stereotyping can blind you.

16. So many of these "why didn't they leave?" types.... |
|
have clearly, as you pointed out, never been in a situation where their backs were against the wall and the wall was crashing down on them. To these people life is simple, and they are in control.
Unfortunately for them, life has a way of kicking everyone in the butt. When these smug jerks get their's, you can bet they'll be whining and asking why no one will help them.
