THE OFFICIAL FUNCTION OF THE LOUNGE: what the hell is it ?
Edited on Sun Mar-06-05 02:25 PM by steve2470
anyone have a clue ? In the absence of an "official ruling" from Skinner, et al., I will note the exclusionary criteria per the mods and act accordingly.

I now neglect many things: reading, watching TV, talking to my husband (Just kidding), gardening, etc,etc...Nearly every spare moment is spent here! It is completely ADDICTIVE!

9. To keep your mind off all the shit going on in the world today
And to be able to make anti-bush jokes without having to worry about if the others are freepers and may not get the joke.

18. I would guess. . .
that the official function of the lounge is to create safe haven for the inspiration and enjoyment of enormous silliness, and also to facilitate the wasting of many, many, many, valuable hours of precious time.

But what the heck. . .laughter only makes us younger and extends our life expectancies, so there'll be lots more time to waste in the long run.

I think it's just a place for us Democrats to hang out and get to know each other, and have fun, and occasionally rant about non-political things...that's about it.

21. I'm just glad it's here ... sometimes ...
:shrug: cause I like to share thoughts and debate things :grr: but I'm really not into 'flame-wars' and I really hate it when I start a thread that someone takes in a direction that I feel is unacceptable. I was posting on someone else's thread that started out innocently... but ... boy am I glad that it was "locked"... I wish I could remove my name from that thread because it went in a direction that that I would have never discussed, so I'm posting less.
