PhazonLink posted:I don't get what's the big deal. I mean I sort of get it from context clues of the last page or so, but i still mostly don't get it. You're probably being rhetorical, but Dalereed was just funny to read. On a simple, plain level. He ranted about everything and he was succinct. He hadn't seen a movie in 40 years. He didn't know what Muppets were, and still didn't. He used lead paint, I'm probably remembering that wrong but he's definitely made multiple posts over the years about how he deliberately used things deemed unsafe out of spite. And perhaps most importantly, he bucked Freep orthodoxy on a lot of topics, most of them mundane but still, thanks to the immunity his being friends with the site's owner got him. He was an original. The rest of Freep, if you're detached enough to still think is funny, is only funny after you've spent time unpacking their delusions and their fears, and it's mostly on a meta level. savegesusie is "funny" because she's clearly mentally unwell and has posted the same word salad rant dozens of times. Lazamataz is "funny" because he's gone full Nazi. Dalereed, meanwhile, talked about fast cars, chasing chicks and being really angry about skim milk.

Dalereed (I can only see at as one word now) was also irreligious and was way more of a cranky contrarion than anything else, at least compared to the typical Freeper. Also the list of things he disliked was far reaching and hilarious. Hats. Skim milk. Unleaded gasoline. Plus he talked about banging his teacher in his hot rod in the 50s? In our dreams freep is that much fun instead of just sad/infuriating.

From Alabama’s Top Judge Suspended posted by freeper Ray76 Roy Moore has been suspended from the bench for the remainder of his (elected) term. quote:To: Ray76 quote:To: Ray76 quote:To: Ray76 So for you new or only occasional readers, I've become increasingly convinced that WENDLE is a troll. quote:To: Ray76 Freeper HiTech RedNeck has a rare moment of introspection. quote:To: WENDLE quote:To: existtoexcel Ray76 comes back with the actual decision. quote:To: Ray76 The blasted thing is a scan of paper and hasn't been OCR'd, and is 50 pages long. Apologies for typos in these excerpts. the decision posted:At the outset, this court emphasizes that this case is concerned only with alleged violations of the Canons of Judicial Ethics. The case is not about whether same-sex marriage should be permitted; indeed, we recognize that a majority of voters in Alabama adopted a constitutional amendment in 2006 banning same-sex marriage, as did a majority of states over the past 15 years. Moreover, this is not a case to review or to editorialize about the United Sates Supreme Court's June 2015 split decision in Obergefell v. Hodges 125 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), a decision that some members of this court did not personally agree with or think was well reasoned. This court simply does not have the authority to reexamine those issues. They're even starting to talk like Trump. quote:To: Ray76 This is why I think he's a troll. It's too perfect. quote:To: HiTech RedNeck quote:To: WENDLE Freeper Yo-Yo gets their turn as truthspeaker. quote:To: Ray76 Continuing on the topic, from Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore suspended for rest of term posted by freeper GIdget2004 quote:To: GIdget2004 quote:To: GIdget2004 Hi Laz! quote:To: GIdget2004 Freep doesn't read articles.

I suspect you are right about WENDLE, but I'm working on a project to distinguish different styles of writing anyhow. One of us scripted something that queried FreeRepublic.com a while back, right? Does anyone remember that and how I would find that script? I think it was to check the zott rate.

From ‘Th’ Sound Will Vanish from English Language Due to Multiculturalism, Linguists Say posted by freeper C19fan Let's play guess the article source! Is it,
Now, let's compare the article headline with the actual contents. quote:By the middle of the century, the “th” sound will have vanished from the English spoken in London due to the high level of immigrants who cannot pronounce it, linguists have said. Freep takes it in stride and makes a bunch of jokes, most of which aren't really funny. So instead, let's compare freep to Breitbart comments. Original formatting. quote:Worse, the English will vanish from England thanks to multiculturalism. quote:Amazing isn't it knowing the strong history of the British empire with colonies over most of the world, being taken over quietly by their own immigration policies. I'm white but beginning to think my race is a self loathing race. No other explanation. quote:I'm sure the civil war will have stopped that from happening by then. Original formatting. quote:To any honest viewer this is the slow genocide of the indigenous British and European, something the UN is supposed to protect us against. quote:And on the BBC history for schools programme they had Victoria Woods the presenter asking some Maori chief words similar to: 'why do you think you were unsuccessful in repelling the foreign invaders (the British) from your lands?' quote:Thou wouldst seek to nettle me. London Multicultural English should always be termed "Jafaican", innit. ... yeah, I'm gonna stick with freep from now on.

Trump can't shut up about his public fat shaming of Alicia Machado. This is now day four of this being a lead news story. It got two sentences in the debate. Today it also got a handful of tweets from Trump at stupid o'clock in the morning. From Trump unleashes early-morning Twitter tirade against ‘disgusting’ Alicia Machado posted by freeper Dongalinger quote:To: Donglalinger So let's talk about this whole porn thing. It is, of course, false. The porn film isn't her. On the other hand, she did appear on a "reality" show and allegedly bedded someone on camera, at night, in the dark. Calling it a "sex tape" is a stretch as it's unclear if it was real or an act. Oh by the way, the porn film is called "Apprentass 4". You can guess what it's a parody of. Freep's immediate reaction is actually surprising. quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: MNDude quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: Donglalinger Goddamnit. quote:To: RoseofTexas quote:To: Old Teufel Hunden quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: Iron Munro quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: Ouderkirk quote:To: Donglalinger So here's the problem, freeper Jay Thomas. When a normal person - no less a normal politician - is confronted with something that they did in the past that people are criticizing, the correct thing to do is understand the criticism and then formulate a response that puts it to bed. If he'd said "Yeah, I was probably too hard on her" and then shut up, it'd have been over the next day. Instead he's been doubling down over and over and dragging it out now for four full days. Freep at least seems to understand how bad this is. quote:To: pburgh01 quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: Jay Thomas quote:To: Jay Thomas quote:To: pburgh01 quote:To: nathanbedford This isn't even the ad on Machado. It's worth watching if you haven't seen it already. quote:To: Red Badger quote:To: longfellowsmuse quote:To: Jay Thomas quote:To: lodi90 quote:To: lodi90 Freepers: Romney failed because he had tactics quote:To: PJammers quote:To: Jay Thomas quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: PLMerite quote:To: lodi90 quote:To: lodi90 quote:To: Donglalinger quote:To: Lorianne quote:To: nclaurel Freep really is Trump's ideal audience. quote:To: lodi90 Meanwhile freeper Vision Thing sees shills. quote:To: Donglalinger He sees all the shills. Everywhere. quote:To: Cuttnhorse quote:To: nclaurel quote:To: Donglalinger The overall opinion of the thread is that Trump is screwing up majorly here. The only ones that believe otherwise are those that actually like him going off like this. How embarrassing for them.
