Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.

I have posted many hateful things about them and have numerous gifs uploaded that are against them; many are very hateful.

They don't make GLP better

I don't use them any more.

Why in hell would you want to paint a target on this site that has already suffered the loss of multiple payment processors?

Think. Use the brian you were born with.

Are you even aware there are three different types of Islam and Muslims?

One sucks; the other two would give you the shirt off of their back if you were in need.
 Quoting: Louis in Richmond


There are actually only two types of muslims. The first is nonpracticing muslims, and many of them are good people that are only muslims to protect themselves from the others. The second are the practicing muslims that read and obey the word of mahammed. The goat fucking prophet tells his followers to kill or enslave all kafir (that would be us). The koran is divided into two parts, the first written in Mecca sounds like a religion. The second was written in Medina, and is a violent rant against all non-muslims. The animal abuser was very specific about killing or enslaving all infidels. HE went as far as telling tel to us deceit, or any other means to take our property, then kill us.

Obviously, islam is not a religion, it is a political organization with the stated aim of world domination through any means necessary.

Re: Why I Upgraded My Account Today
Nicely said, Riff. I just renewed my paid membership.

What I see at GLP, I admire a lot.

I've been involved in web communities since the internet started and managed large groups up to 20m members...public companies.

What's unique about GLP is it is closest to the original free thinking and smart version of the internet that has been lost.

This needs to be supported.
When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life.

Re: Why I Upgraded My Account Today
Hi Riff, I guess that makes at least two of us that signed up today. I first visited this site back when comet elenin swooped by, and since then, I never left. I originally came for the ufos and my daily doom fixes, but that gradually got replaced by the political aspects of this site, and truth be told, it has made me a much better person. So I want to thank you and all the good people at GLP for having such a profound effect on me.

Re: Why I Upgraded My Account Today
I have lurked on this site for many years, and I signed up for a free account a few years ago. Today, I finally paid for 1 year of a subscribed account.

First, I want to say that I am over 50 years old, and I have been a part of a lot of various online communities, dating all the way back to the original BBS's. Every community has its pros and cons, its good people and its knuckleheads. GLP is no different.

I don't come here for the conspiracy theories, the politics, or the religion. Personally, I don't care what your personal political or religious beliefs are because they are your basic rights as a human being, even if they are diametrically opposite of mine.

I come here because I have seen people offer up their homes to complete strangers in order to provide them with shelter from a major hurricane bearing down on the US, for no other reason than they were a member of this community. I have seen threads dedicated to the sharing of information and checking on friends and family when a disaster strikes somewhere.

I decided I want to be a part of that. And if a few bucks can help keep that sense of community and human decency going, than it's my responsibility to contribute.

To the friends I have already made, I look forward to getting to know you better. To friends I have not yet made, I look forward to meeting you. To everyone else... I'll be polite and civil if you will.

Cheers,
Riff

Re: Why I Upgraded My Account Today
There is a thread that is breathing its last breath. A thread that was never supposed to die. I'm freaking out about it.

I sort of bonded with it, years ago. I'm gonna miss it when I cant pour over the multitude of posts it is comprised of.

Re: Why I Upgraded My Account Today
Originally I was a member 8 years ago and over the last 5, I’ve lurked. I’m going to sign up as a full member again bc I couldn’t agree more with this post.

Yes, there are some looney tunes on here and I’ve seen an increase in crappy posts, but typically you can read/find some golden nuggets and for years, this website has been the first place I check for the latest news and nuggets you cannot find anywhere else.

In addition, I can attest there’s a strong sense of community, and in a volatile time of increasing censorship and continuing battle good against evil, I’d hate to see this website disipitate. Let’s ban together and support, so we can continue to share and comment on information you typically cannot find on other websites 5a

GLP is a lot of things, none of the least being love, often unconditional love.

You see, it's got to be unconditional love because we trust each other so much....sight unseen.

We care for and respect one another. We have each others' backs as much as possible.

Well, some not so much, but that's the way THEY want it. The lil stinkers.
