Free Republic question

[drmeow]

So, I'm a little behind the 8 ball sometimes - I suddenly realized I haven't been seeing "Freeper's heads exploding over ACA" type threads here. Is FR completely dead now? It seemed to be going through some death throes last time I remember seeing them mentioned but if it completely died, I missed it (may have happened on one of my many international trips this year).

21. 1998? You're being generous.

Hardware maybe. Software looked like something from the early 90s.

11. Bahahahahah!!!!!

Probably absolutely true.

5. Threads there right now are doing two things

They're simultaneously mocking the insignificance of the government "slimdown", while blaming the Democrats for it.

Also, exhorting each other to stick together in order to hurl the country over the debt cliff.

7. Ironically Jim Robinson is in hospital now getting government-paid surgery

He needed to have his second leg amputated and is at a VA hospital in Fresno. Report is that he went into surgery at 1 pm Pacific time today.

13. Yeah interesting

how about that...hope he mellows out some.

[Hekate]

14. I am sorry to hear it -- that's awful

He may be diabetic -- and obviously in bad shape.

C'mon Jim Rob, you may not be exactly KAOS to our CONTROL, but the game would not be the same without you -- so here's one DUer who is sending you get well wishes.

17. I doubt he feels as remotely nostalgic about you or me or anyone here.

He is a hate monger.

20. I am sending him good wishes.

[Skittles]

15. terrible

I wish him well - the old phrase "I would not wish that on my worst enemy" is true

Yeah their format over there is hideous.

19. You don't think the hamsters just power it, do you?

They may love those wheels, but they're lousy web designers.
