Conservatives hate all online services because they respond to and represent the real world. That's why they keep trying to build their own Wikipedia (Conservapedia), their own Twitter (Twitchy), and so on.

Texas coeds tap sugar daddies for college tuition at record ratesquote:
Around halfway through this thread, someone figures out that this whole article is probably written to promote the scam/service that is seekingarrangement.com, and the thread diverges into equal parts people posting "those drat WHORES", people posting random pics of good looking coeds to drool over, posts sighing over the good old days chasing tail in Thailand, and debate over the best way to do the mail order bride thing. quote:

quote:If I were single today I’d get on an airplane and fly over a large ocean to go find a wife. quote:To: 2ndDivisionVet quote:Which is a huge laff, because those same “past their prime” guys could fly economy to Cebu, Bacolod, Jakarta or Saigon and be treated like a movie star. quote:To: 2ndDivisionVet quote:Glad to see that Baylor isn’t on that list, but honestly, I’m just heartsick watching my husband constantly trying to crunch numbers to help our daughter attend there in the fall. To me, it’s worth the money to send her to another Christian environment for the next four years. She’s done everything right up to this point - 4.1+ gpa, athletic, 30 act, student body president, intern for our conservative state rep. Awesome lady of Christian character. She will get about 12-13k in academic scholarships from the school, but Jeez Louise... the traitors in DC want to take away some of husband’s military retirement. His airline employer filed bankruptcy, and his pay and retirement structure there went to hades. Both children have attended Christian Bible schools.

Twitchy isn't a twitter alternative, it's a twitter curation website for the type of loons who read Drudge and Free Republic. Michelle Malkin founded/runs it. e: I didn't know MRAs posted on freep.

I just want to pat this lady on the shoulder and assure her that while affording private high school and university educations for your kids is hard these days, the free market will provide any number of sugar daddies to ease the burden, for the right price.

Good to see that the main problem for most freepers isn't the fact that it is, in effect, a form of prostitution, but the fact that the woman might not be a virgin when she marries. Never change freep, never change.

Gay people have to make everything about who they have sex with, they don't realize there's so much more in life that matters. Oh and by the way, your sexuality is the reason it's right for you to be unequal/attacked/beaten/murdered, nothing else about you matters.

Duke Igthorn posted:gently caress try talking to Duane I'm 50 percent sure your friend is wrong and 100 percent sure he's more interesting than your friend. That person isn't my friend. The conversation was on my friend's aging hippy dad's page, and apparently a bunch of liberal-dad's friends have made a hard swing to the right in their later years. I'll ask next time he brings up Duane, although I already know the reason. It's because the report would go like this: "Hi, Dept of Health and Human Services? Yeah, my neighbor Duane is always on his porch when I get home from work, so I think he's getting money from you and he doesn't deserve it...no I don't know his last name, I don't talk to moochers...hello?"

Has anyone else seen the "generation lead" theory that one of the leftbloggers (maybe Atrios) has talked about? It seems to explain a root cause for the freeper mindset beyond the general crankiness of being old and feeling like you're losing your cultural grip on your home. The theory goes that there is a correlation between decreases in leaded gasoline and crime 20 years apart, suggesting the possibility that children who grew up in the 40 or so years after WW2 are more predisposed to violent crime and other societal ills as adults than they otherwise would be. If that is actually a causal relationship there's no reason to assume it's binary (either lead exposure makes you a criminal or it doesn't). You could just as easily say that its effects could be on a spectrum from "none" to "violent criminal". The people in the middle would then have an elevated level of violent/aggressive/etc. behavior but not elevated enough to become outright criminals. Those are the people that grew up to become freepers and other aggressive blowhards. Not saying the lead theory is valid or that freepers wouldn't exist without lead, but I think it's perfectly valid to say that if some amount of juvenile lead exposure makes someone a certain amount more likely to a criminal, a smaller amount of juvenile lead exposure may lead to an added chance of someone becoming just a run-of-the-mill rear end in a top hat. It would certainly be a happy accident for the GOP and a good reason for them to continue opposing environmental regulations if toxic metal exposure gains them voters

That sugardaddy site and any other related thing that comes up in the news is really one of the most depressing parts of the economic policies of the last thirty years (at least in the US). You have a class of people that was in control of the economy, hosed it to all hell for personal profit, then when people from lower income try to get ahead the way the system tells them to through education one of the ways is to create a service where they prostitute themselves to the people that created the problem, and then those people look down and call them whores. It's really the epitome of the way everything is just broken and it's really terrible. The fact that the victims are constantly the "evil ones" taking "advantage" of their oppressors is why there's no way this country isn't going to be even more right wing in ten years.

I don't know about freeper behavior, but the Kevin Drum article about lead at Mother Jones is very good and the research seems pretty solid, with mechanisms and controls and other sciency stuff (as compared to Freakonomics bullshit).
