8. What's actually nice about it is they change it up.
Some articles lean left, some right. Some commentary leans left, some right.

Godwin's Law often invoked in the first posting on anything re: Bush. And so it's popcorn and mudslinging for everyone after that.

I like Fark. They will smack down a Freeper in a heartbeat. They will call bullshit where they see it and occassionally you'll even find someone to offer a reasoned argument.

DU and Fark are the 2 most visited sites on my history.

9. every time I've gone there, I've seen TONS of posts as viciously
ignorant as any at FR

plus, I can never see the pictures, mostly. they're always expired

does one have to join to see them, or are the old ones gone forever

what's the best way to navigate around there, please?

they do have some great pictures, that's for sure

14. I have no idea about pics.
I go there about once or twice a day to catch up on the odd bits of news you won't find in the daily paper. There is a FAQ on the left panel somewhere. Yeah..FArQ....

You don't have to "join" anything. And I have no idea why pics would expire, unless you are viewing weeks after they are posted.

Yes, they do have Freep types there. But again....they don't just let them get away with saying shit, they will flame like nobody's business.

They are allowed to disagree, which is refreshing (unlike freepville) and it's not quite like here where although we have some fairly divergent views, the political ones are fairly of a type. (Democratic)

10. Fark == Mos Eisley
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy"

having said that, they seem a fair microcosm of America....make of that what you will/dare.

alcoholic_entropy: I was talking to Skail about this a while back... Gospel_of_Thomas is about the only Bush apologist left on TotalFark. Hell, in 2004 we used to have huge, daily flame wars and now, nothing. Even people like Weaver95, who was a rabid Bush supported, rail against him.



You'd have to be getting paid to shill that asshole anymore."


So many are ready for a new message. But we have few national leaders prepared to champion a progressive agenda. We are not yet at USA 1932. But it's getting closer. I believe it now.
