good example of the difference between DU and Freeperville...

[trekbiker]

here's thier thread on the news of the rediscovery of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Contrast this juvenile garbage with DU's threads on the same subject. No wonder FR is descending into self implosion.

1. Don't go there for a very good reason. It is harmful to my health.

[skypilot]

2. I am now a dumber person...

...for having read that shit. I could feel my IQ dropping with each post that I read.

[liberal N proud]

3. So bird watching is evil now!

[11 Bravo]

4. OK, I went and looked.

Now, where do I go to re-acquire the 50 or so IQ points my little excursion cost me?

5. READ THIS !

To: ZULU

(snip from article)
The first report came in February 2004, when a kayaker spotted what's described as "an unusually large, red-crested woodpecker flying towards him and landing near the base of a tree 20 meters away."

"Must be a foreign kayaker. No native Arkansan (nor any true American) would use that communist metric talk like that."

7. Yeah! Those scientific-measurement-using commies!

We don't need no Frenchie-meters roun' heyuh!

losers :crazy:

12. That HAS to be

a liberal troll. Nobody would be stupid enough to actually post that, would they?


On second thought, please don't answer that...

[Toots]

14. And I thought they supported the troops

That Commie talk is all they use in the military. You can certainly tell they have never been in the military.

[beam me up scottie]

19. Minutemen recruit?

You think? :patriot:

[radar]

15. Geez

"...No native Arkansan (nor any true American) would use that communist metric talk like that."

Our US military uses that thar commie metric talk for specifications of weapons systems.

20. Why do you hate the

US military?
:evilgrin:

[radar]

24. Since they put a whoopin' on the...

...Real patriots defending state's rahts(rights) in the 2nd war of independence. :sarcasm:

Next thing you know they'll be copying those furin(foreign)armies that wear them thar wimpy frenchy hat-beret things. Oh wait - they are :blush:

"ignorance is bliss"
:evilgrin:

25. oops,

6. That has to be the dumbest post I've ever read. Ever.

[beam me up scottie]

18. It's a classic.

No doubt about it.
I think I might use it as my next sig line, what do you think, KT?:D

[Kerrytravelers]

33. You HAVE to! I can't wait to see it!

[trekbiker]

8. my point is...

this is more than just a basic deep down difference in ideology. Their thread points to a fundamental difference in emotional maturity. Maybe FR has been hijacked by a pack of high school kids?? the serious conservatives over there have been chased off for the most part. they call it "opus" out

[beam me up scottie]

17. Well really, what do you expect?

Look at where they get their news; not a legitimate journalist in the bunch-just a pack of vicious hyenas.
They are being fed hate and stupidity on a daily basis.
:shrug:

[Kerrytravelers]

34. There is a complete difference in maturity.

Freepers and rethugs are unable to see the nuiances in life- much like children. Either they get their way or they revert to their terrible-twos and throw a tantrum.

We, on the other hand, understand that life has many shades of gray.




A perfect example is the liberal stance on abortion- it's personal and none of anyone's business, versus the reich, who says no, because I don't like them and that's the end of that. So, nah-nah-nah, I"m taking my ball and going home.


Thank you for being brave and finding this post from freeper-creeper-ville.:)

9. Pathetic little trolls. I heard this on NPR this morning

And I knew that the right wing (I figured Rush) would jump on this and try to say that this somehow proves that conservation and the environmental movement have got it all wrong.

Or maybe they would tie this to Gods Design...

Only a matter of time.

[meisje]

10. Have you been to GD lately?

or ever?

[trekbiker]

11. GD??

[beam me up scottie]

13. Um, Dude?

You're in GD.


just thought you'd like to know...

[trekbiker]

21. i get it...

Duhough!!!! -Homer Simpson

[beam me up scottie]

22. ack, not you!

Sorry, I was responding to meisje's "have you been..." question.
I figured you knew where you were!
:P

[trekbiker]

23. "GD" stumped me sorry to say.... ahahhaaa!!!

never been good with acronyms. and my Corp career is chock full of em..

[beam me up scottie]

32. I have to use the glossary.

It comes in handy.
When I first saw "GD" I immediately thought it meant "goddammit".

[AlCzervik]

16. whoops!

LOL!

[livinginphotographs]

26. Try posting a PETA thread here...

or anything even remotely related to animal welfare or rights, then try to tell me the difference.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. Freeperville is where the Red Billed Peckerwood nests.

It's one ugly sumbitch, too.

And I don't EVEN wanna get into their mating habits... :evilgrin:

[geniph]

30. That's the Red NECKED Peckerwood, silly!

and their mating habits often involve siblings...

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

36. Two closely related species

Must be cousins

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. At least there's a Python fan at FR

Beautiful Plumage.

No replies in kind, though. If I'd posted that here, 22 people would've replied, "The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone not-dead."

FReepers and Python... and never the twain shall meet.

[geniph]

31. The FR types are still looking in the Bible for the definition

of Plumage! None of 'em know them thar big words!

[lonestarnot]

29. They certainly are fascinated and fixated on Clinton's pecker...

Guess their envious of Big Daddy. Fuck 'em hate em and all they stand for!

[Sugarcoated]

35. Only been there a few times before the election

And I agree, I was struck by the disparity in intelligence compared to DU folks. And the lack of knowledge of the facts - the willingness to buy anything they're told, they're easy marks for very slick liars in their party. The other big thing I noticed was, well, they aren't funny/don't have a sense of humor like the DU people. And that's true for their leaders/talk show hosts as well. What is it about liberal people who just have a knack to be funny?

And I quite frankly don't care what they have to say. It's a boring place full of intolerant sheeple.

[Sugarcoated]

37. Lonestarnot, yes absolutely

Yes, they DO seem to have a creepy fascination with the male anatomy - and what goes on in the privacy of peoples lives.

[lonestarnot]

40. They are creepy and disgusting and I hate the mere thought of them!

[trekbiker]

38. good point about a general lack of (good) humor at FR..

about the best the neo/conservatives can do is Dennis Miller and he pretty much sucks..

former friends of mine with freeper tendencies generally lacked an original sense of humor. maybe hate and humor are mutually exclusive

some sociology or psychology grad student should do a master's thesis studying the differences between DU and FR personalities, mentality, demographic and so on..

[lonestarnot]

39. Hmmm now there is a thesis I could handle LOL
