Anyone in Independence/Downtown KC hear and see this too? It was obviously a jet flying a low racetrack pattern right over the city.

If Jim pulls a thread, or closes it down; why is it still visible at sign on to FR? I spent about ten minutes refuting a DUmmy, and when transmitting the response, the response was, "Thread has been pulled." Oh well.....

Why did they lock the thread for Chrissy from hardball ?

I enjoy this forum, but lately I've noticed a troubling tendency for posters here to descend into horrible and immature name-calling. Such name-calling, and extremism without reason does nothing but harm our cause. It turns off casual lurkers and readers of this forum. It provides fodder for this forum to be demonized and non-respected elsewhere. Below I provide a few examples. I call on Freepers to stop using such terms voluntarily. If that doesn't work, I call on the moderators to warn, if not censor, posters who use such terms. I realize that Democratic Underground uses even more ridiculous terms...

Thanks for any help. This morning I was online (using dail-up) and it forze up on me. I have windows 2000.

Well now the monitor seems to start but goes immediately to like power save, with the the monitor light going from green to light yellow. Its on but not showing anything. Any suggestions? Its at home so I will...

A message to “Freepers”: I invite all who participate to listen up. This is a serious message to those of you who post here. I am a christian conservative and firmly adhere to conservative values. I am a grandmother to be and I want my grandchildren to live an America like I grew up in. I realize that this is impossible now and want to make a difference. I want to keep my family safe from terrorism and safe from the liberal ideology being forced upon us. In this presidential election, I know that George Bush is the only clear...

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble all of a sudden navigating FR? It seems the feature that lets you know when you have a reply has turned into a two-click process. This just to see what replies you have. And then it is another click to actually read the reply. It used to all be done in one click.Something has definately changed. Change always causes a bit of trouble getting used to it. But this seems to be more than that. FR navigation has been easier and far above any other forums I have seen. So...

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. -- A suspicious incident at a shipping company near the Port of Palm Beach prompted authorities to evacuate hundreds of workers Wednesday.

CAMP WOLVERINE, KUWAIT -- Almost one year to the day after the first NFL-USO visit to the Middle East, a pair of NFL players touched down in Kuwait to begin a four-day tour of U.S. bases in Kuwait and Qatar. Marco Rivera of the Green Bay Packers and Brian Baldinger, who played for the Cowboys, Colts and Eagles during a 13-year career and currently works as an NFL analyst for FOX, were greeted by a wealth of warm receptions that exceeded the 110-degree heat. After checking into their Army base accommodations at Camp Wolverine, the duo set out for Camp...

Christian Leader Asks People to Help Clean Hollywood Allan Menzies, 22, of Fauldhouse, West Lothian, Scotland says he was inspired to murder his best friend and drink his blood after being visited by the evil female vampire in the R-rated Hollywood horror movie QUEEN OF THE DAMNED.

I'm trying to bump the thread "nuts and bolts in California" to the top. I had a comment which I wanted everyone to see. I posted the comment, but it didn't make it to the top. How do I accomplish that? Thanks. caveat_emptor

With American corporations under increasing pressure to cut costs and build global supply networks, senior IBM officials told their corporate colleagues around the world in a recorded conference call that IBM needed to accelerate its efforts to move white-collar, often high-paying, jobs overseas, even though that might create a backlash among politicians and its own employees. During the call, IBM's top employee-relations executives said 3 million service jobs were expected to shift to foreign workers by 2015 and that IBM should move some of its jobs now done in the United States, including software design jobs, to India and other...
