I find it pretty awful, personally. For those out of the know, check here for reference.

Don't take into account members that use it or the message behind the posts; just the practice itself. Some examples here:

>implying one of the faces of Obamacare is going to get elected again in a red state

>implying that the average person has the time or energy to look up campaign donations and expenditures

>implying being against Iran-Contra means support for Sandanistas.

>implying the fuzz gives a sh-t about the Constitution

>implying all dealers are users. and even if they were, if anything that makes them even worse. not just an addict but creating and profiting off new addicts. pure cancer

>implying a hypothetical President Ron Paul would ever be able to get his policies enacted beyond the ones he could gain broad support for, like restoring civil liberties/ending pointless overseas conflicts

>implying there's Congressional support for either of those things

It's really annoying because the same two people continue to use it over and over again. I'd be okay with it if people used it once in a while, but way too much right now.

It helps me identify the kids around here that think they're funny. So, basically, it's useful because it's annoying.

Freedom Practice.


It can be abused, but I find it amusing when done right.
