    that is true. for all the conservatives bitch about how this board is some liberal hippy lovefest and they're a perscuted minority here, their posts seem to outnumber the liberals by about 2 to 1.

    Why don't you whine like a little girl some more (if it is possible). "Look at me, I'm so important I start a whole post just about myself."

    lol, well at least I admitted that I misunderstood the posts I'd read, and although Thumbingmyway did imply that I'm anti-american he didn't outright call me it. That thread is toast now and I posted the apology here. But again, this wasn't a whine thread, this was a "Hey I'm getting banned, it's been fun." thread.

    That's the ticket, do like FOX news, you don't call someone a name, you ask them if they are it.

    "Are you an asshole?" instead of "You are an asshole" or like Whore, just leave it blank. "You are an ...."

    Does that make sense?

    That was my main issue, I created this thread, not out of animosity for Americans or America, but rather from what I had seen. I was at work and busy I checked back briefly and found about 20 posts bashing me as Anti-American and I guess I went off the handle a little bit.

    considering you are still here maybe all is not lost. I actually thought the thread was a good one. Too bad it got locked.

    Has anyone ever been served "freedom fries" before?

    Maybe not.

    I live in Ontario and we still call them "French Fries". I think that whole "freedom fries" thing is kind of stealing from "pommes de frittes" I mean, they are "french fries".

    I've heard of some red-neck restaurants boycotting anything associated with the french therefore "freedom fries" and also Canadian boycotts as well which led to "Freedom Bacon". Lame.

    Looks like I'm the one getting banned. If you can wrap your head around that logic, then well.... I guess you have some kind of intelligence.

    i've been called things here my upbringing won't let me repeat. i leave the board for months only to return to the same hatred. i would never treat others as i have been treated here. i was verbally abused by one poster in a way i have never seen or heard in my 51 years of life. sure i get mad but i bite my tounge and try to watch every word. so i understand and sympathize with you. hopefully you can still pm to keep in touch. you've got a lot of friends out here.
    i wish you peace and happiness.

    as i understand it; french fries are peeled; american fries or freedom fries have the skin on.

    yes i am. i've been to resturants which offered french fries or american fries. the difference being the french fries were peeled.

    Oh Ryan! Just doesn't seem fair to me fella. I find others here far more offensive than you have ever been. It must be all perception and subjectivity. It's really unfortunate whatever the reason. Because I can't understand it. Just know who's gonna be turning into a meglomaniac right about now! Ah well head down till you get back fella!!
    Gonna miss you heaps! :(

    You take it easy ok? I'll be thinking of you. :)
    NOPE!!!

    i have never in my entire life heard of any such distinction. the first, last, and ONLY time in my entire life i've ever even heard of a freedom fry was when congress named their french fries that.

    1) was this after 9/11 and/or iraq?
    2) you say "american fries" are on menus around the country but used it interchangeably with freedom fries before... were you trying to legitimize a ridiculous concept (freedom fries) before by trying to make it seem like it was a real thing (american fries)?
    3) have you ever ordered a freedom fry in a restaurant?
    4) did freedom fries exist prior to congress's order after the french balked at the iraq invasion?
    5) even so, didnt the freedom fries on capitol hill used to be called french fries, which would imply the american fries, while a separate entity from french fries, are NOT freedom fries?

    first; i think that someone that needs to argue about fries needs to get a life.
    i was learning french many years back and the teacher was insulted that they WERE called french fries. he said "the french don't make fries".
    the first time i was in a resturant and asked if i wanted french or american fries was in 1974; a week after getting my license at a place on milwaukee road in wheeling illinois. that's where i was told the difference. i remember clearly because that was our hang out after that until i was out of high school. i also remember my first date when i was asked by a waiter if i wanted french fries or steak fries. the difference is steak fries are cut much thicker and are rectangular. i've seen them called freedom fries at a stand at the lake county (IL) fair. every year they were freedom fries. i distinctly remember this because i asked the guy if they're called freedom fries because he doesn't have to peel them. he got pissed and refused service to me. i attended the lake county fair from 1979 to 1988.
    any other questions?
