For the first time ever, I peeked into FR!
OMFG! What a bunch of asshats! I felt like I was walking through a snake pit. All I can say is, at least on DU there is intelligent discussion and debate. I read one thread about Antonio Villaraigosa being elected L.A. Mayor. Here were the few responses I read before getting the hell out. Well, not before I took notes, but hey:

Post: Read this and weep... "a city that is 48 percent Hispanic, 31 percent white, 11 percent Asian and 10 percent black"

Response 1: That's right, it's time for whites to demand affirmative action and special treatment afforded to minorities.

Response 2: Just another step in the eventual civil war that will pit East against West.

Response 3: "a city that is 48 percent Hispanic, 31 percent white, 11 percent Asian and 10 percent black" Are you sure they didn't mean: "a city that is 48 percent Hispanic Communist, 31 percent white socialist, 11 percent Asian moderate and 10 percent black conservative"?


MY RESPONSE: Aren't they banking on the Hispanic voters to keep them in power? WOW! With friends like this...

I am going to shower now.

2. That's a creepy place
Filled with right wing morons. Want to know what's even worse? Try the CMT message boards. Especially the sites for Charlie Daniels and Tubby Keith. Talk about fanatical right wingers................

4. That is a scary place.
You need to douse yourself with antibiotics after your shower.

5. Regardless of your gender,
you might want to consider a douche, while you're at it.

Preferably with Drano.

I mean, FR is rather toxic .............

10. No kidding. I was wondering where the people who posted those
messages were from. I doubt if they were from California. Also, do you know who made it to the mayoral run offs - 2 democrats. So if Hahn would have won they would still be complaining because either way - a democrat would have won.

9. Keep going back. You need to know how they think.
(Usually with their head stuck where the sun don't shine!)

But seriously. I find it helpful to know their arguments.

Just hold your nose and be nice. You get called a troll and banned real easily over there. They don't like disagreements.

12. I thought about that.
But that would mean having to register and all that. It's just so sickening. But I agree, it's best to know what the "other side" is thinking. Keep ahead of the game, so to speak.

11. Obviously a bunch of clueless white guys...
Villaraigosa got elected because he's sharp. As an aside, any women with a pulse can't help but notice his many, um, many other fine qualities. :9

13. Even I can see his many other, um, fine qualities.
And I am a man. OK, so I am gay, but I can see it.

15. Metaphorically, yes.
I drank a margarita. Doused the pain of having looked into the lair.
