I did not think FR was going to survive August, 2012.

We have not gotten that low yet.

But you point is well taken.

I think that is exactly what is going on. I named a half dozen of seemingly-paid shills on posts earlier today. You can see them on my ping list.

Thanks! I did write it Word and copied, forgetting about the formatting issues.

So this means you supported Santorum and are sad to see him go (just kidding?)

Its only moderate/liberals that never tolerate dissent because they never, ever have an answer and don't want to be questioned about their choice.

Intolerance if their opinion, is their deadly sin!

Here, we can tell, shout and scream our differences, just like family but in the end, we love one another, pray for one another and cry and mourn with one another!

Sorry if you find that upsetting.

Being a middle child, I learned very early in that there would be nothing left if I didn't grab my share and guess what, if my just barely little brother, whined, mom made me "share" with him! Guess what, when he finished, there wasn't anything left!

I,m with you. And I live in New Jersey where we are always civil. Especially in Newark, Camden, East Orange, ET AL.

Depends on your computer and what ASCII characters are interpreted by the server’s software.

Well said and sadly way too true. I have been here since 1998 and have seen the same decline in the quality and civility of many of the posts and posters. It seemed to me to have started with the Bushbots who wouldn’t broker any discussion that wasn’t politically oriented and pro “W”. Gone are the days of intelligent threads about mythology, science, history and philosophy. Yes FR is and has always been a political driven forum, but it was nice in the past when we engaged in conversations about other intelligent issues.

I was once asked a general question about the demographics of freepers and was amazed at the diversity in age, careers, geography and educational experience. A true mosaic of intelligent thoughtful people. I’m afraid those days are gone.

I’ve noticed the same thing.

I assumed it was a temporary malady which will be cured at the Republican convention. Then, we’ll be one big happy dysfunctional family again.

At least, that is my hope.

Name one. I’ve been a member since 2000 and a lurker even longer and I agree. Since Trump entered the fray, it’s been a precipitous decline.

How did you get the garble-characters in your own post?

I was wondering the same thing. He must have typed it up on Word or similar and then copy/pasted it here.

I agree completely. I almost posted a similar set of thoughts but figured it would take 10 replies or less before the name calling started.

You butthead :)

This election season beats the hell out of mittens vs McCain.

I for one am glad we don’t have a bunch of guys knuckling over to each other, showering each other with platitudes. “Your great. No your great.”

“I’ll gladly relent to the esteemed gentleman from so and so.”

Seems that the importance of this particular election has Sunk in to damn near everyone here. If one candidate is a liar. He’s being called on it.

If one candidate is a blowhard he’s being called on it. If another candidate can’t wake up or another is a closet lefty poser, he’s being called on it.

There’s no BS this time around and I like it. The other way of picking our masters has yeilded us a $19 trillion dollar hole.
