10 Random, current topics from FreeRepublic's version of the DU Lounge

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

They call it the Smokey Backroom. Long-time DUers know that on a Friday night, the talk around here eventually turns to favorite movies and music, getting wasted, and Lindsay Lohan's breasts...all EXCELLENT, red-blooded, patriotic AMERICAN topics.

:evilgrin:

But WHAT, you ask, do the FREEPERS think of when it comes to casual conversation? On a Friday night, when they're getting ready to pick up their cousin for a wild date at the drive-in, what topics do they post in the lounge of their favorite neocon message board?

Here are a few that have been discussed in the "Smokey Backroom" recently. Apparently the freepers use their lounge a lot less frequently than we do:

1. Well Now I Wonder... What DOES The Catholic Church Say About Children That

Die Without Baptism???

[Book Lover]

8. IIRC

It used to be that they were stuck in Limbo, which was without form or sensation. Now I think the Church teaches that they go straight to heaven.

The thread about how they hacked a page (went under *my* radar...) just sickens me. Ain't there no 2600 reader out there who wants to have some fun....

10. well I want to know more about Germans NOT being well-hung.

That sounds like it could be worth a few laughs, doesn't it? But I've never been on their web site and don't need to start now.
