Yahoo! Discussion Boards are Repulsive
Whenever I want to be entertained, I check out the message boards linked to individual stories. It's no longer entertaining -- they are simply disgusting. The one linked to the story about Ohio election fraud is particularly egregious.

2. That's Why....
....I stopped checking them out. To me it stopped being entertaining once the invasion of Iraq started.

4. I totally agree.
I was going to respond to some of those idiots on the yahoo board, but just said to hell with it.. It's not even worth the time and effort. More than half of them are probably paid ops anyway. The rest are dumber than Freepers.

5. NOT SO FAST! There is ONE...
This is really creepy. It has been off the Yahoo index for almost two years. You cannot find it anywhere. Yet, for some reason (probably by FBI orders! LOL!) Yahoo keeps it alive. Over half a MILLION posts. It is derided as being the "liberal" board on Yahoo. I've been posting since about #800! Twice Yahoo shut it down, and we bitched, and it re-appeared...but still not indexed anywhere. Check it out. There are actually a couple other DUers that post there.

Some history...it is called "The Titty Board," because it was originally about John Ashcroft's covering up of the breasts on the statue of justice. The main posters are pretty bright people...a historian/ex pat living in Madrid, a lawyer from Brazil, the guy who owns Timbuk3.com. Check it out. Post. We'd love to hear from you!

The Titty Board - the only sane, liberal Yahoo message board.
