The purpose of this thread is to applaud our hosts for this place, and what we like about it. One of the things I do not like about modern USA culture is that people do not properly thank others. It's as if they believe they're giving up something to acknowledge that someone else did something nice. Running a site is a royal pain in the ass, and time consuming. It costs something to run, and someone has to pay that. So thank you to the owners, and here's what I like about Freedom4um: 1. No smilies!! I hate those things. I can barely stand to read DU because there are so many people who use them. Why not crayons? 2. No threads calling for government to FIX whatever today's most visible problem is. What are your favorite things about Freedom4um and how it is run?

I agree that the 'no smileys' is a big plus. Another plus is the 'no breaking news' section. Sites like LP have people arguing a lot about what is and what is not 'breaking news' instead of having some more interesting discussions. I also like that there is not explicit prohibition of 'racism' or 'anti-semitism'. People are what they are and they think what they think. If a site is to tolerate those who pray that 'we' nuke various 'Mooslum' countries then there's nothing wrong with a little racism or anti-semitism. I'm a confessed anti-Bulgarian and I'd feel embarrassed to see that no one cares about my Bulgarian bashing while those who warn us about various Jews conspiracies are supressed. Another thing that I like is the 'ignore' feature. I'm glad it's there even though the level of discussion here is civilized enough not to make me ignore anyone. So, I too thank the owner for keeping this good site alive.

Excellent! A diva with a sense of humor: rara avis in terris ;P

Oh, there is one thing that I don't like. It is allowing the members to include large, psychedelic graphics as part of their signature. This can be very distracting and extremely annoying when someone makes 15 posts on a thread and drops these redundant nonsense to no one's benefit or pleasure. There was someone at FR, I believe, who was including the head of a feline with huge canines in all of his posts. Even though his graphics were not animated, it was quite pathetic and gratuitous. Also, adding a 10-line SIG to a 2-word post... not good.

I hate signatures. Is there a way to opt out of seeing them? It's not the content, it's the repetition. But to each his own. I have high tolerance for those kind of annoyances. It's the prohibitions on free thought and expression that trouble me at most message boards. I'm not crazy about puking smilies, either. At DU they have a bunch of people that use that smilie to express their displeasure. I call them cyber bulimics.
That was "Sabertooth." He was actually very good on the immigration issue, in that he stood up tenaciously and articulately against the "party line" that JimRob wanted enforced there for so long: "open borders" in all but name. He was repeatedly and gratuitously banned at FR, until he finally came over to LP. As has baffled me before with other posters, he changed stripes, as it were, and became an acerbic defender of Israel against all the "Stormtroopers" (i.e., people who question even timidly any of Israel's policies or actions) supposedly there. I tuned him out after that---I can have my pick of Israel Firsters anywhere on the 'net.

I have nothing against his contributions. It's just that the repeaded image of that toothy head was distracting.

How can someone make a rational response to your kookey rants and links to nutball one man blogs? That is, if the links work at all and you haven't just posted a phoney link -- again -- to cover your ass.

Indeed you can disable the display of taglines (signatures). Click on "setup" and the top of the screen and unselect "View tag lines of other posters.". Poof...their gone!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Thanks!! And they're gone.
was this about me using the 'j' word? :)

Neil's got you covered here - just go to Setup and Deselect View Poster's Tags.
that made me chuckle
Reserve it - bump.
Funny - thanks. That's why Neil made bozo filters.

I never said there were. Just said you folks will never find out the truth about Flight 93 if you insist on promoting demonstrable nonsense like bombs in WTC towers and no Flight 77 at the Pentagon.

Hey critter ... do you think this is a picture of slag from a pool of molten steel? I find the paranoid delusion that I'm paid to post here quite fascinating.

I won a few bucks at the track today. What does Flintlock's sister look like?
So BAC, why are the people who make http://debunking911.com where you got the picture faceless? Who does the site? They don't ID themselves on that site of sketchy double talk. A site like that and apologists for the administration and the shadow government people who control it were all expectable in light of how successful people have e been in bringing the truth of the false flag operation to light. If they had been innocent, hey would not have destroyed so much of the evidence, now would they? For this pedestrian taunt of yours' to have teeth to it, there would have had to be preservation and analysis of he evidence that was melted don and destroyed. But that would have been dangerous, yes? The powers that b just couldn't allow that to happen for obvious reasons.
No poster has been banned without absolutely begging for it. No menacing and vicious penguins here.
Supporters of Bush and the Iraq war for Israel and oil are traitors to America and they hate American troops.
Excellent. This site is almost perfect then.

ROTFLOL! That photo actually came from Steven Jones who presented it as proof of pools of molten steel at the WTC site. Here, this is a graphic from Steven Jones paper on the subject of what collapsed the towers: Notice the similarity between the two images? And if you want the original source of the image go here: http://www.amny.com/news/local/am-wtcrelics-pg2006,0,4734727.photogallery?index=35 And look around and you'll find lots of additional images of that piece of rubble: Funny, none of them look like slag from a molten pool of steel. Steven Jones is a LIAR.

try .org instead....... They haven't gone anywhere.
I asked who produces that site you damn idiot. Answer the question. I saw no citation and viewed image properties of the picture and got this address: http://debunking911.com/pancake.jpg I am not in the mood to play your silly baiting games. The picture you obviously got from that site, and my question is about that site, answer accurately and stop playing stupid games. I do not like being baited.
Seems to really bother you that people are having a nice social thread without you. You feel compelled to stick your obnoxious nose into it and get your pitiful self noticed don't you.
.
Does it matter as long as the photo is authentic ... and it obviously is. And the implications of it being authentic is that Steven Jones IS A LIAR. I know that must trouble you. ROTFLOL!

Hey dipshit, is this a thread about BeALoser? Or about 9/11? Why the fuck do you have to spam every thread on this site with your spam posts? I'd cut you down to 3 posts a week if this was my site.
