Poll question: Does Anyone Else Think The Freepers Are Jealous of our DU Journals?

It must be tough to be stuck with a basic text message board in 2006.

27. Do they all get to take turns using RimJob's new motor home.....

that they bought him with their donations? RimJob and his family are fleecing the freeps, big time. You'd think the numb-skulls would catch on after a while but I guess not. Here's a tip for you, freeps: RimJob is robbing you, he doesn't put one penny back into that crappy site and he's laughing all the way to the bank. You're being taken to the cleaners but you're too stupid to realize it! :rofl:

They are totally blown away by the technological advances provided to them by their "conservative" handlers. They need nothing else.

This 1983 technology brought to you by the great and powerful Korean/conservative scientists due to the wonderful leadership of Kim/RimJob....

3. Freepers, face it, your message board blows.

And everything about it blows. the interface is shit, and even worse, the posters are just batshit nuts. And they can't spell.

(though good luck finding it in that rat's nest of a n excuse for an interface) just for people to post about what we're doing and saying?

7. Had to go with "inclusion of color"

All the choices were great, but "inclusion of color" sums it up for me.

Funny thing is, I've been on the net a long time and I don't think I've ever seen a board as basic and devoid of design, even going back to 1993 or so. There's about a thousand free message board packages out there for download, and they all have way more functionality and a better look and feel by default. Even most mailing list archives look better than freeperville.

Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 04:51 PM by brainshrub

Practically every few months another feature is added to DU. In the meantime the Freepi sit sifting though an unnavigable site made in the mid-90s.

so instead of putting money into the board....and making it better for people (something democrats are naturals at)....they take any donations and they buy more hummers (both kinds...bwahahaha)

51. "Your first girlfriend is a mule."

I never tire of linking to this:

http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/2005-05-18/news_found.html

Below is the transcript of a May 9 conversation between FOX News Radio host Alan Colmes and anti-abortion activist Neal Horsley of Carrollton, Ga. The discussion followed Colmes' question as to whether published media reports that Horsley had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex were true.

NH: "Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I ... "

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that's so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: "You people are so far removed from the reality. ... Welcome to domestic life on the farm. ... You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually. ... If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates you might in fact have sex with it."

30. MOAB!!!

All you have do to infiltrate over there is post "MOAB", "Turn them to glass", "KILL" or "Hitlery" over there on various threads and you will fit right in.

I've been masquarading over there for sometime and they love me...(my first attempt got me banned right away...) But I've been going strong for over a year...they havent the slightest clue.

My goal was basically to amplify what is already there...

The hard part is - for me - I cant come up with anything self rightgeous, cruel or saddistic enough to phase them...I push it to to the point where I feel the satire is palpable...but they are CLUELESS!!!

Someday I will give it up...but its fun.

32. FR website = Prom dress stapled together from old carpet samples.

(Full credit to the writers of Futurama for that one.)

And while DU just keeps upgrading every time I turn around,
FR is far crappier than 99% of the FREE templates anyone
can download on the web these days.

They beg for donations more often than DU,
and they claim to have more members,
but the site still looks like something that
real Webmasters dumped on the curb around 1995.

Do you think this might be connected to the FACT
that any Freeper who even MENTIONS the FR owner's
huge 'Luxury Motor Home' is INSTANTLY tombstoned?
(not kidding. they really are.)

Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 05:10 PM by Buck Rabbit

On most polls here I can't find my favored position and invariably have to pick "other" and type. On yours my problem is I am torn between a couple that fit well. Hey, come to think of it your poll sucks too. You should have given me combinations.

I want a bean feast and I want it now!

can afford a huge, pimped-out luxury motor-home...

And then they suddenly disappear the FR site forever.

44. Freepers are also jealous of all the slang terms we have for the word...

Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 05:29 PM by Vektor

...PENIS.

I was once sent a link to a freeper site where they all had their panties in a bunch because a few DUers were joking around about certain politicians' man-parts, and were using funny colloquialisms like "WMD", "PACKAGE" etc. You know, good clean fun.

The freepers were actually angry, nay, LIVID that we were not saying "PENIS."

They kept typing, in all caps and poorly punctuated of course, "WHY CANT THEY JUST SAY PENIS!??!!??!!!?11//

They were also quite upset over the oft-repeated fact that Kerry's is known in all circles to be legendarily "HUGH!1!!!!111"

:evilgrin:

Poor Freepers with their penis and message board envy.

Edited to add: They REALLY hated "no-no spot." That one filled them with a black rage. Who knew?
