Taking one for the team - I'm now a freeper.
I give myself a week or two at best, but God, I feel so dirty!

9. Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell

Rode the six hundred.


;)

17. Why the fascination for freeping?
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 03:33 PM by jandrok
Seriously, I've always wanted to ask someone. I've been to their site a few times, but honestly, if I want right wing talking points all I have to do is watch Fox News. What's the allure?

You'll never change their opinions. You'll never get your point across. All you'll ever do is reinforce the belief that DU'ers are lurkers and disruptors.

I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just curious.

21. That's a reasonable question.
Maybe 31 years as an elementary school teacher has imbued me with an ineradicable view that ANYONE can learn. Maybe I'm just naive. Or maybe I am just one contrary mother-fucker.

22. Fair enough.
Good luck with it, I guess. Your experience with elementary school teaching has prepared you well for the level of intellect that is typically on display there.

Scratch that. My daughter is getting ready for the 4th grade, and she's a HELL of a lot smarter than most of the freepers. At least she can think critically and has a desire to explore her world.

20. I have been posting there since last Sept. as gidget7.
I almost got caught near the beginning of this year but those folks over there are as gullible as they are clueless.

Good luck and keep your head low.

23. And posting your user name here is not very smart either.
You do know there are certain of them who watch here too? Have fun.

25. Big deal.
I've been posting there as JimRob. I never put money back into the website, I take the donations and frolic in Florida every winter. That, plus the strip bars pretty well eat up the money.:evilgrin:

27. Why bother?
Don't take one for the team for me, I'd rather they stay the hell over there and we stay the hell over here.
