Free Republic vs. Democratic Underground, in an all-out royal rumble

[Arkana]

Who would win, and why?

[Dookus]

1. they would

they have a lot more guns. But we have a lot more teeth...

[yardwork]

4. I don't know about that. A lot of DUers have a lot of guns

Check the dungeon if you don't believe me.

[Dookus]

6. oh I have

I know many here do. But I also know most do not.

[Renew Deal]

34. DU supports guns with a majority.

We have polled this more than once and pro-gun wins.

[Dookus]

36. I never said otherwise

I'm merely talking about who OWNS guns.

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Yeah, but ALL of them have guns.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. No they don't.

All of them have big mouths, is all.

[FuzzySlippers]

18. How do you know they don't?

I bet the vast majority actually do.

[yardwork]

22. I tend to think that most freepers wouldn't know how to fire a gun

They may own some, but they probably haven't mastered cleaning, loading, or firing their guns. They probably aren't clear on which ammo goes with which fire arm.

Remember we're discussing freepers here.

[Wickerman]

20. Yeah, we got a lot of guns in the Gungeon

and our folks are smart enough to work 'em. Not so sure about Freepland!
:D

[yardwork]

23. See, that's what I was saying!

DU has plenty of fire power and DUers know how to use it.

[Bouncy Ball]

32. Yep

We just don't go around talking about them as much. But you know what they say about all talk, no action.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. I don't know about the guns part

Here's why:

a) they are a bunch of talk. I bet far fewer of them have guns than they would like people to think and

b) I bet more of us have guns than anyone would think.

But yeah, we have more teeth, too. By a factor of 100.

[LeftyMom]

2. DU

We have more women, and women fight dirty!

[alexisfree]

13. girl power!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bouncy Ball]

3. No doubt about it, DU.

We're smarter, stronger, and last longer.

[Arkana]

10. We're people, not Energizer batteries.

I think it would be us. We have better leaders (Skinner, EarlG, elad, etc.) than they do (RimJob? Come on.)

[LeftyMom]

24. and if that doesn't work, we'll kick them in the nuts!

:toast:

[Left Is Write]

29. We've got this

***shameless vanity warning***

[Bouncy Ball]

35. KICK ASS!!!

Even I'm scared. :scared:

I would NOT want you mad at me! LOL!

[Quetzal]

7. But we have "Flower Power"

Ain't no stoppin' that BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!

[Huckebein the Raven]

79. Your "Flower Power" is no match for my "Glower Power"

-just had to add a Simpsons reference sorry

:silly:

But to answer the question, DU hands down.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

8. We will, all we have to do is get naked.

:P

[Quetzal]

12. Arrrgh

Let's all get "Nekkid"

*Do "nekkid" heathen dance :P

[LeftyMom]

43. Hey, that's next week!

Stop jumpin the gun! Geeze, some people...

[JohnnyCougar]

77. Ewwww....I'm not getting naked with freepers

:scared:

Could you imagine the stench of a dirty freeper? The smell of their unwashed crotches and butt-cracks in the open air?

[mdmc]

11. we eat too much acid

according to the polls...

[AllyCat]

21. What was the final tally on that poll?

That was amazing! I'd have never guessed.

[mdmc]

71. not sure... but acid ain't no war drug!

:kick:

[JohnnyCougar]

78. 66% or over 100 DUers have eaten acid before!

Acid just means we are more adept at dealing with grim realities. Which is all the better in a war!

edit: mdmc is right, though....I would NEVER take it DURING war.

[guitar man]

15. DU

I bet we have a lot more combat vets than they do.Besides, I think most of them are like 14-15 years old.

[bo44]

16. Freepers are cowardly shit stains

DUers would wipe them out.

[eyepaddle]

17. DU hands down, goin' away.

First off, there's a lot of us here who believe in like, a balanced diet and shit; scientific medical care, you know stuff like that. Next there are 60,000 of us! We're global--what are their chances of getting any meaningful international support? They won't get shit. Plus I bet we have (on average) a better science and engineering background--we can develop our own ordnance if need be.

I'm on for US.

edited because I thought of more stuff ;)

[Seabiscuit]

63. Hey! Don't forget Poland!

[benburch]

19. We would.

Cuz I'd cheat.

[Downtown Hound]

25. DU

If you want to know why, look at DU's interface and look at theirs. DU's is way more organized and user friendly. Theirs is a chaotic mess. It makes no sense. If this is how we go about planning and how they do, we would crush them. It's not about how many guns you have, it's how you use them. They couldn't plan an organized campaign to save their worthless lives. Even if they started out with more guns, we'd bypass them in a matter of months because of our organization.

It wouldn't even be brains verses brawn, because we have plenty of brawn. It'd be brains against stupidity. These people think Bush is a tough guy. Come on! If that's who they think is tough, they have a lot to learn.

[Ekirh]

26. They Would Win...

Just because they find a way to Rig It....

If they fail to rig it... we got them.. couldn't take us in a fair rumble.

[porkrind]

27. DU in a knockout smackdown.

We have a better website (thanks, Skinner!), FR is unreadable. It looks like some primitive homemade website from 1993. Also, lefties are much more attractive, sexy, and intelligent. In addition, we have the truth on our side.

The only thing Creepers have going for them is extreme viciousness caused by their lack of education and lack of ethics, and a fundamentalist zeal caused by their gullible adherence to religious/political cult leaders.

[SarahB]

28. We would.

DU men are built, sexy, Kung Fu fightin', tough mofos.

Plus, this DU woman is now a master in restraint (it's a work training thing I just did to deal with potential psyche patients- not a sex thread!) Help me take 'em down and I'll get the suckers in 4-points. :7

[Arkana]

41. "DU men are built, sexy, Kung Fu fightin', tough mofos."

Obviously you've never met me, but I'm confident we have more than enough people to help me out. :P

[nickgutierrez]

61. I might need a little help with that, then.

Yeah, I've studied some Kung-fu, but in the other three departments I'm sorely lacking. :)

[Renew Deal]

30. We would

Smarter, tougher, more inclusive and more committed to our cause.

[HeeBGBz]

31. We could beat them in Jeopardy

They might be better tobacco spitters.

[sasquatch]

33. I'm 6'6" and weigh 300+

:evilgrin:
I have asthma though
:evilfrown:

[eyepaddle]

42. 6'4'', 235

I've got your back!:evilgrin:

[realisticphish]

44. 6'1", 285

im there too :evilgrin:


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[SmileyBoy]

51. 5'10" 225, but a black-belt in karate.

I'm your "small guy".:D

[realisticphish]

52. the D-Team

rescuing Democracy from the clutches of the BFEE...

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[dolo amber]

67. 5 ft even...I'll get their kneecaps!!

:7

[BikeWriter]

75. You BAD!

;)

[JohnnyCougar]

80. I'm 5'10"

and 190 lbs. But I know Jiu-Jitsu. I could break 5 freeper necks within a minute!

[American Tragedy]

53. 5'4", 102 lbs.

Bring it on! }(

[nickgutierrez]

62. I'm bigger than someone!

\o/

[Vektor]

84. You are bigger than I, too!

I am a small, but powerful force. :-)

[Seabiscuit]

64. Only three hands. And I sleep alot. But I can run circles around them :)

[hyphenate]

37. I would say the FR would win

but only because, like the rest of repukes, they would cheat and be extra nasty.

DU would be more wracked with guilt at harming another human being, something that FR wouldn't worry about at all. It's not so much that we would lose because of inherent weakness, but because we're far more sympathetic and empathetic than they could ever be.

[meow2u3]

68. DU may feel guilt-ridden about harming other human beings....

But then again, freepers aren't human--they're vermin in human form :evilgrin: which justifies our kicking the shit out of them :evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:

[El Fuego]

38. DU should go nuclear.

[Dark]

56. Yea, but then they'd go 'nukyulur'. n/t

[Skip Intro]

39. We'd win, and there wouldn't even be a fight - cowards run away

[ZombieNixon]

40. We would.

1) We're smarter
2) They're a bunch of fat-ass, cowardly pussies
3) To paraphrase a British fight song, we've got the guns (so do they, but they're too drunk to shoot straight), we've got the men (and women, don't forget the women; they can fight as well as or better than us guys. I'm using "men" in the general sense here, meaning "bodies in fighting condition."), and we've got the admins, too (ours rock, theirs suck; just look at the respective site designs.)

Also, in the election, we were represented by a war hero, while they worshipped a draft dodger. 'Nuff sed.

Also (redux), I have friends who aren't on DU who know how to fight. One's a freshly returned army vet, one's an ex-navy SEAL.

DU kicks Freakper ass, hands down!

Edited 'cuz I thought of more.

[msgadget]

45. It'd be interesting.

Dissent and independent thinking is not encouraged there so they'd all move as one while we argued about who had the best plan of attack and why. Plus, they're meaner - would a liberal say about an old woman who can't afford her medicine, "...she should have saved more!"?

[eyepaddle]

83. I wouldn't say that, but I'd be willing

to pound the ever-loving-hell out of any bastard who did.

[grasswire]

46. we would because...

....half of them have to guard the porta-potties.

[qnr]

47. self-delete --- replied to wrong post

[7th_Sephiroth]

48. i have 100% accuracy with my Wasr-10

and my desert eagles do damage to the extreme

[qnr]

49. We would, of course. Simply because, like the FReeper protests, only

about 30 of them will get and/or understand the memo about the upcoming battle.

[lady lib]

50. Eh, they're not worth the effort.

They're tedious and irrelevant.

:freak: :freak: :freak: :freak: :freak:

[Worst Username Ever]

54. Armed to the teeth, ready to rock.

[maveric]

55. We're smarter and braver. We'd kill em.

They are a bunch of cowardly Morans.

[New Earth]

57. they'd win

by cheating. as usual.

[roguevalley]

58. they think they would but we would. I would just love to whoop ass

on someone like my Uncle Vern. :) All our pent up angst would swoop over them. Trust me.

[Borgnine]

59. We would.

I'm willing to bite ankles.

[Vektor]

60. I'm just going to wave and say "hi"

:hi:
To everyone at free republic, because I know they will lift this thread, and take it to their lair for their amusement.

[Arkana]

69. Exactly what I'm hoping

nt

[Melynn]

65. Hey, I have idea

Some one should put up a neutral website and then invite members of DU and Freeper Republic to have at it in a posting contest for a certain period of time, like say 48 hours and then see which side would come out on top.

The only rule might be that a person posting to the website has to be a member of either DU or Freeper Republic. Outside of that, there aren't any rules, anything goes.

I'm too poor to own server or I might do it.

[noonwitch]

66. I don't see the necessity for such an event

I'd rather see a friendly discussion of the issues with rational people on both sides.

[eyepaddle]

73. Not me!

I wanna give them an all expenses paid trip to the smackdown motel!

:evilgrin:

[Runcible Spoon]

70. well I'm a rugby player

and not afraid of pain, so I think I could take down some of those freeper crack hos, but methinks that their meth-feuled rage give them super-human strength!

[DinahMoeHum]

72. My inner child is a mean little fucker spoiling for a chance

to rip out a Freeper's nutsack.

:nuke:

[BikeWriter]

74. We wood kas thare stoopit!

Stoopit! Stoopit! Stoopit!

[davidinalameda]

76. we would

we'd kick their freeping asses

[jswordy]

81. Maybe we can challenge them to a remote vid game!

Winner then controls the known free world (if we can find one, wherever that may be)!!!

[pbartch]

82. we would beat the crap outta them.

they are all "love thy neighbor" etc......we are too but WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.

[koneko]

87. Absolutely

I was gonna say that, but you beat me to it.

They'd start out playing dirty & come off stronger, but we would win in two steps.

We'd start out with the psy-ops thing - let them get cocky, thinking they're on top.

Then, when they think they were on top, we'd come around from behind & unleash a can of whip-ass on them the likes they'd never seen before.

Team Progressive 2005 - not your Liberal wimps anymore.

:mad:Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, lemme at 'em!:mad:

[SmileyBoy]

85. I wanna pop open the freshness seal on a brand-new jar of WHOOP-ASS!!!

:evilgrin:

[charlyvi]

86. DU would win hands down,

because their mommys would call them home for dinner, then homework. Or Bible study.
