A zoo, I think would aptly describe it

15. Amen!
And the AOL message/chat boards were even worse, if that's possible. I kept thinking I'd stumbled into the "people from medieval times who are stuck in today's time" forums.

The last straw was right after the space shuttle Columbia disaster, when some drooling, scum-sucking, knuckle-dragging one-brain-celled freepus ignoramus posted that "the black man on board did it" because affirmative action and political pressure had caused all the "stupid inferior classes" to be able to get educations and rise into positions for which their "natural inferiority" had ill-prepared them, and they'd pushed out all of the "competent" people.

I had to read that about five times before I could actually comprehend that that was what I'd read, then I fully expected a torrent of denials. What I got instead were agreements, and "right-ons, I'm sick of PC and these people are destroying our country", etc., etc. Obviously, that was fucking IT for me, and I've never, ever looked back. Fortunately, I discovered DU shortly after that.

3. Click on 'Discuss' at the bottom of any Yahoo news story,
regardless of topic. The 'discussion' will be all about freeptards vs. moonbats. Highly informative debate......

What the hell is a moonbat, anyway?

4. Dictionary definition of "cesspool"
I've never seen a "discussion" at Yahoo that didn't descend into racist, homophobic and moronic mud-slinging. Whenever I ask the question "Where are the Mods", I get no response...what a surprise.

6. All I had to do was print my username,
Edited on Sun Feb-19-06 07:20 PM by ayeshahaqqiqa
which is obviously Islamic and all I got was pure hate. Funniest thing about it was that a lot of the posters assumed I was black and inserted racist remarks as well as bigoted remarks against Islam. I wonder if these posters ever try and learn something about another culture, faith, or race before they start shooting off their mouths. They appear to be rather unhappy; if they learned some tolerance, they might find more peace of mind.

23. Sorry, you lost them at the word 'learn'. The ability has been conditioned
out of, what passes for, their conscious.

7. I do occasionally, I frequently reply to the wingnuts with this:
"You're a funny little prick; say hi to your Uncle Dad for us, okay?"

It usually gyrates their hormones. :evilgrin:

10. I drop in there from time to time, if I'm in the mood for a fight.
I give the Cons Hell for about an hour, then leave.

11. No, but I got banned from the FREEPTARDS
for posting the science on fertilized eggs, BC Pill, Morning After, and my Aunt's abortion as a faithful, married, grandmother back in 1945.

I don't know which of the above it was, but suspect the last one.

13. I've been banned from FR a dozen times for telling the truth
I posted at FR for a couple of years under different screen names. I was careful to never brak a single one of Rim Job's phoney posting rules, but that didn't keep him from banning me. My crime? Making Freepers look dumb by confronting them with what they cannot handle...

The Truth.

16. I haven't done it for years, but I used to like it, they get pissed
in a hurry. I thought the rooms had been closed. I'm going to try it again.
I once got them pissed like crazy just talking about their mothers wearing combat boots.

17. I just started in the Politics rooms a couple of days ago
I swear there isn't a * supporter that isn't racist and/or homophobic.

There is some fun to be had with doing a bit of pscyops on them. :evilgrin:

"No asshole! Kerry sucks!! And so do Libruls!!!!"
"Nuh uh!! Repubs suck!!!"
"F*ck you, LIEbrul!"
"No! F*ck you, Rethug!"

Got a little old after a few seconds....

21. Just wasted 1/2 hour of my life to see what you were talking about
I've come to the conclusion that we have no chance at all. If you have the stomach and above average ability to read bad phonetics, check it out and tell me if these people should be allowed to roam the streets without supervision. How do they manage to find food and not forget to breathe?
