Why do Freepers hate peace??? Check this out!!!
The American Friends Service Committee has this really nice site, "Friends for Peace." People upload photos of themselves holding a sign with their name "for peace." (http://www.friendsforpeace.org) Now the Freepers have discovered it, they're taking people's pictures and photoshopping nasty captions.

I think we should all let them know what we think:

1. They hate peace because they believe peace is for wimps ...
you're not a "manly man" if you don't believe in preemptive attack!

2. Don't bother
It's not worth the effort to try to persuade them otherwise.

3. Don't confront them. That's a waste of time. Here's a better technique.
Copy the hateful pictures, upload them to a Photobucket account so they can't disappear into the ether, and post a thread showing the pictures and highlighting their hatefulness. Then, go to other blogs and spread the word about their lunacy and immaturity. After all, only an absolute, complete IDIOT has a problem with peace.

Mock them, and do it all over the web. Far better than trying to reason with them.

4. I especially like the hot air balloon
I wouldn't waste my time going to Freeperville. It's just not worth it.

Peace

5. Somehow that seems to go beyond
"Fair use"! I wonder if the victims could sue?

Now I need to go shower, why did I ever click on that link?

6. They don't want peace as much as they want to "win".
Everything seems to be reduced to a football game with winners and losers. Freepers would love peace as long as they won, were recognized as winners, and could reign supreme indefinitely over the losers. I believe another word for such phenomenon is domination.
