Just Signed Up At Free Republic.....
What a stupic freaking site!! Hahahahahaha. And what a bunch of MORONS! In case you have never wandered over there, dumb layout. I may attempt to post something later.
I have to admit, right after I go my confirmation email, I logged on. Right at that instant, there was some kind of thud outside my house. My dogs started going ape-shit, ran downstairs and were howling at the back door. Goosebumps ran from my neck to by toes. See, I am alone tonight at home as my other half is in UTAH on business. Is there some cosmic conservative alignment happening?

1. Good luck
You'll last about five minutes if you post anything. I think everyone here at DU has tried at least once to get on Free Republic, and I'm pretty sure most of us were banned immediately.

3. Actually, I am scared to post anything...
After being surrounded at the Massachusetts State House this week during the "gay" marriage battle, I have seen my enemy and those people scare the shit out of me! It is one thing to see their crap in print. It is another to have them screaming their bile in your face.

4. Don't be scared, they're very stupid over there
Really, Freepers are incredibly stupid. Sorry if that's harsh but they're just as dumb as a box of rocks over there. Post away! For a real challenge try and not get banned immediately.

7. OK, I am going to try. Any tips for not getting banned?
There was some thread regarding Tranny Coulter. OF course, they are all drooling over "Ann" Coulter. Should I let them know that she is a man or should I bait them?

8. No, you'll get banned
I lasted all of one post and all I did was criticize a thread which contained some offensive captions of photographs.

22. Very good advice!
They are stupid .... don't be afraid to post. Just don't say anything too intelligent ... they'll sniff you right out for sticking out like a pink flamingo on wall street!

5. You're letting the terrorists win.
You should scream back, the bullies don't know what to do when you stand up to them because they are cowards at heart. Also typed words can't hurt you.

2. I've only been there a couple times
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 09:43 PM by slim
because it was linked from here. You're right - it is set up terribly, and letters are so small it made my eyes hurt after reading a couple posts.

6. I saw that site for the first time in 1999...
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 09:57 PM by drumwolf
...and I'm pretty sure the site layout hasn't changed at all. The site's been around since '96 and I wouldn't be surprised if it's still the same layout that it was when it was first started up.

Oh, and Rockholm, in the context of describing Freepers, the correct spelling is MORANS, not "morons." B-)

21. The layout gives me a headache ...
it's difficult to decipher who's writing to whom, and once you get past that you have to cut through the ignorance to try and decipher the point that they are trying to make. Too much time to spend with people I don't like, (although I understand that ignoring them completely would be a mistake, unfortunately .... know your enemy ....).

11. Just Commented on how hot Mr. Coulter was.......
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 10:13 PM by Rockholm
hee hee. How cool would it be if there was a DU contest to see who could last the longest on that site?

On Edit: Just called a "troll" because of my post. Responded "what that is supposed to mean." Guess I am about to find out.....

12. I was just banned there.
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 10:48 PM by Triple H
Oh well. I got banned before my post was even put up. How'd they do that? Oh well.

I was losing IQ points by the second over there.

17. I've never trolled there. But, I wonder if I used as username like
Bush Dyna$ty, Neil the perv, I relish Pickles, grampa was a Nazi profiteer, Babs is the mother of the Beast, patriotic neighbor in Crawford...well, would I get banned there, too?

Just wondering.

:dunce:

23. Why bother?
That freak show will just give you a headache and the format sucks. I don't see the fascination with baiting that bunch of ankle biters.
