18. There are a very few here who seem to have a lot in common with Feepers
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 11:46 PM by roughsatori
They will use derogatory language and post insulting images, based on stereotypes, of Southerners, Gays, Women, "Fat" People, "trailer trash," "white trash." Then when they are called on it, they use the language of the Limbaugh's and O'Reillys of this world: "feminazi," "whiner," "lighten up," "get over it," "PC police."

I some times think they have more in common with the Freepers then I have with them, no matter who they plan on voting for.

And then there are the thoughtful individuals who apologise, or at minimum make an attempt to seriously understand where the complaints are coming from. And then there are my DU heroes, they do not let bigotry go by unmentioned and take on the onslaught from the defenders of ignorance.

I honestly believe those people are not in the majority at all, it just feels like that sometimes.

I always read your posts. Good Luck in whatever you decide.
