Man, I love this place!
I was just reviewing the thread about how awful DU'ers are for being awful, and there were an awful lot of awful things said supporting all viewpoints. I'm awfully glad to be able to read such diversity among my supposed "politically correct" Democrats and Liberals and Commies and Socialists and Hippies!

Thank you, children.

Death is bad. If you feel bad about an American being beheaded, then you BETTER feel bad about Iraqi children being killed and dismembered so Bush can feel good.

Wait.

If you feel bad about Iraqi children being killed and dismembered so Bush can feel good, you BETTER feel bad about 3,000 Americans killed on 911.

Wait.

If you feel bad about feeling bad, then come to my place baby, and BOY can I make you feel good.

Eeew.

That one was particularly disturbing.

Sorry.

But I'm an unfeeling anonymous internet poster, and my point is that my point is more important of a point than any point you can make about humanity. After all, we're at war, and the point of the war is to point out that at this point we're many points above our enemy, the Brown Skinned Iraqis; I mean our enemy the Right wing drooling fascists; I mean Snoopy.

Wait.

That's not right either.

My POINT is that I fucking LOVE YOU GUYS! I love those of you who pull my "eeeeeew" switch, and I love those of you who pull my "roll my eyes" switch, and I especially LOVE those of you who write beautiful, simple wisdom amid the droning noise of this liberal cacophany of anti-Americanist noise that seems to drown out that horrible death of ultra-nationalism that threatens to take over our consciousness like an iron fist dripping with the blood of babies.

Wait.

I got a little over-ambitious on that one.

Why are liberals so (fill in the blank?)

This is the biggest forum I'm aware of. It's got good, and bad, and bad, and good, and I'm really upset that not enough of you see the TRUE tragedy of the past weeks, and that is the death of Ray Charles.

You think I'm kidding, but FUCK YOU! I have my priorities too.

I don't know what' getting all these poor bastards beheaded, but I don't fucking LIKE IT, and I don't LIKE that instead of being a deeply feeling, compassionate human being, as I would LIKE TO DO, I'm forced into a cynical conspiracy mode, just like I am EVERY time bad news about our horrible Bush-helmed government's policies gets pushed into oblivion by a real event that may be manufactured, or may be real, or manufactured, or real.

I didn't like Paul Wellstone's plane going down, but I REALLY didn't like the Right wing droolers politicizing it by saying the left was politicizing it by pointing out that the POINT was that Paul Wellstone was a liberal, democrat political FIGHTER, and not fucking MICKEY MOUSE, or something.

I don't LIKE people being bombed; beheaded; chased with tanks; or any of the other fucking non-stop nightmare I'm being subjected to, and I would fucking APPRECIATE it if everybody would just STOP IT.

Now....







Anybody got a fucking PROBLEM with that?

2. I know just what you mean....
I love all my fellow DU-er's, too...warts and all. It's a cold, unfeeling universe. Thank goodness there's one place where we can be ourselves in all our marvelous diversity! To quote the Good, Gray Poet: "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes)."

14. OK, Let's Agree On This
Let's just toast ALL DU'ers tonight.
Even DLC Democrats like me. Right? RIGHT?

Actually, I'm in a great mood. My Longhorns smashed the Razorbacks 13-2 to take a win in the College World Series.

:toast:

16. It is addicting
What I like most about DU is the customization, for instance earlier today I hid all the beheading threads cause I got sick of them and it is cool that DU can be tailored this way. Also, the ignore function is a good tool for getting rid of jerks and other objectionables so DU can be made to one's own taste.

19. Typical Bourgeois Bullshit
No!

Wait!

I'm just fulfilling your dream of diversity. Because if everyone agreed with you, well, that would be bad, yes? So I think your post is typical bourgeois bullshit, registering events and measuring their distance from your own personal happiness. Such a shame, those bombs and beheadings. Nowhere near as personally satisfactory as a casual trip to the Tower Records.

Wait.

There is joy in the casual trip to the Tower Records (we'll pretend here that there is not a communal joy in cruelty, terror, and general mayhem - a specifically anti-bourgeois joy that is not about the individual, but about the evaporation of that individual into the communal, a positive and negative quality, always depending on the situation). Tower Records! I'm all lost in the supermarket!

Don't wait. Do. Act. Stop waiting.

Suspension. Waiting. Chasing losses. Uptick in the market, tomorrow. High above the chimney tops...that's where you'll find me. Homo economicus. Wait. No, wait. Wait. That's what people who have forgotten action plead to people of action. Right before they're bombed. Or beheaded. Wait. No. Wait. Wait. Wait....

20. Thanks, dudes!
You know, its funny. I've been coming here for about four years, and I only have 102 posts!

I don't post much on "liberal" message boards; most of my time is spent fighting with Rightwing fucksticks, and when I do get inspired, I usually preach to the choir on Bartcop or Dumbya Chronicles, which has remnants of the old MWO forum on it.

But DU; man its so crowded, and I like to be a star, and I get so lost in the huge threads, and can't even shock anyone because y'all are so much more vocal than on the other boards.

But I seriously love that people question that which needs to be questioned, for right or wrong over here, and that the freepers/CU'ers think so highly of this board that they can never shut up about it.

I do NOT agree with "not giving them ammunition," in fact I give 'em all I can, but I try to maintain my sense of humor in the face of the horrors of mechanized warfare, (brought to you since the invention of the Gatling gun!)
