Do we really need 'vomit alerts'?

Question - Do we really need to post articles with added extra non-news comments such as 'vomit alert'; 'puke alert'; 'hold muh beer alert'? Can people really take people seriously who post such drivel? What is the purpose? Are we becoming so used to seeing the word 'vomit' splashed across the latest posts that it doesn't affect us anymore?

Also, aren't we conservatives suppossed to have some dignity, grace and a clear non-combative way of communicating with each other? Please post here on the FR as you would speak to your co-workers, friends and family....it would be nice.

Thanks.

Can we at least limit ourselves "Barf Alert"?

:-))))))

The word is "barf", not "vomit".

Besides, words like "vomit" are used in the greatest work of literature, the Bible.

Right, barf alert....it's basically all the same I guess.

Reading your regurgitated spew makes me want to heave.

I thought such alerts were to warn one of a liberal point of view in a legit (or semi-legit) article, not neccessarily drivel. Maybe we can start drivel alerts.

HOLD MY SANCTIMONY ALERT!

(Seriously, lighten up!)

Why not? Programs have viewer discretion warnings. Movies and TV programs are rated. Give us a warning so we don't mess up the carpet before we get to a barf bag.

I like Barf Alerts. They are used to indicate that you're not a left wing plant posting some cockeyed story to "inform" us.

I would be banned.

Who said conservatives are non combative? What the hell type of drugs are you on?

[Frank_Discussion]

You left out creativity and humor. Are you by chance an office worker at a utility?

[Sabertooth]

Good post. We also don't need "double chunker with sauce on the side" alerts.

Maybe you misunderstand the intent of a barf alert. It's to warn the reader that they may be reading something outrageously stupid, or looking a Hitlery pictures. It's actually a service to other FReepers.

[discostu]

Yes. For one thing it lets us know that the liberal spew isn't being posted by some DU troll but rather a fellow conservative who understands the need to know one's enemies.

[Born in a Rage]

I knew that posting this wouldn generate some funny comments and perhaps even flames - but seriously, it's hard to recommend to people to read the FR when these "regurgitated spew" things are all over the place. Besides, anyone who can spell that word you just did must be capable of so much more :-)

Yes, when posts contain such pictures as Helen Thomas. It gives the reader a chance to put the coffee cup down and swallow before opening thus saving the computer screen and keyboard from a spill.
