I figured out how to calm the flames in GD:P.

Every time you read something outrageous, respond with this.

I think you need a hug. :hug:

Their heads will explode.

:rofl:

:hug:

:hug:

See? It works. My head is exploding as I type.

:rofl:

I LOVE THAT IDEA!

I'm going to go post that on every flamewar I can find! :woohoo:

Oh, and here's the obligatory "I think you need a hug" :hug:

:rofl:

bless your heart! ;)

:rofl:

Someone just asked me what my view on pedophilia is. I have a feeling the gay police might be needed.

"Uh, you know, it's okay, if that's your thing..."

:wtf: Is this because you're a lesbian and therefore automatically abuse children? That's what I understood about Teh Gays anyway...am I misinformed?

it's just that 'teh gays' automatically want to have sex with anyone and anything.

in the last few minutes. That's like a record for 'our people', right?

I just learned a new term "pedophobe."

:eyes:

I'm not even going to look. My blood pressure is just fine here in the lounge, thank you very much.

I think my brain just exploded.

...I just almost spit crackers on the computer screen when I read that. :spray:

Somebody was trying to justify transphobic terms, then I get a response asking me what I think of "sexual relationships between adults and children?"

:wtf:

We have a celebrity in our midst! :D

I just learned a new term, "pedophobe."

Babies and toddlers freak me right out. Especially on long flights....


whoops, wrong flame war.


:hide:

I can also call them 'poopsie'. :)

hug thought.

:rofl:

There are some people in there that I'd do the "I think you need a :hug: thing.

Others, I wouldn't literally or figurtively touch with the proverbial 10 foot pole.

I'm only doing it to piss people off. It's what I do.

:rofl:

Sounds fun. :evilgrin:

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

:(

But that's because it was me posting it.

Just go in and start hugging everybody. THAT would freak them out!

:rofl:

I'll go check it out. :D

That was great! I noticed the OP didn't reply...how could she dis your LOVE? ;-)

about the hug campaign. It just blows their minds.

:rofl:

good.

Pics of hot looking guys...a surefire way of defusing any contentious arguments.

:evilgrin: :hi:

It certainly would be more stimulating than the conversation over there!

Get to work, soldier! :patriot:

:9

I thought cute kitten pics were the only definite way to diffuse contention on the DU.

Things must be worse than I thought!

I'll pray for you.

Sometimes prayer is just not enough!

hehehehe

They scare me. So much venom.

so people won't be compelled to view threads from GD:P that make it to the front page. Better yet don't allow any GD:P threads to the front page. They're an embarrassment to DU.

Go http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4158434">here:

It says:
How to HIDE threads posted in the General Discussion: Primaries forum, so you will not see them on the Latest page.

If you wish to avoid seeing threads from the General Discussion: Primaries forum, you can set your preferences so that they will not appear on the Latest Page. Here's how:

Just click the "Options" icon at the top of any page, and then click "Edit your preferences" to go to the Preferences page. Scroll partway down the page until you see the words "Hide General Discussion: Primaries from the Latest page?" Select "yes," then click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page.

And, of course, if you want to avoid seeing threads about the Democratic presidential primaries, you should avoid entering the General Discussion: Primaries forum.

I love the probably unintended snark in that last sentence. :rofl:

I didn't even notice the :P in my posts! that's funny!

:evilgrin:

Ah, you know I'd hug you back, but still....catch me when I'm in someone's face and I might not know how to react. :P

:hug:

I just came from there and the sh*t is still flying. But it was a noble effort.

:hi:

Bake

Continue the hugging, dammit!!!!


:rofl:

I'm in.

Bake

:patriot:

but there's just SO MUCH hugging that needs to be done...

Funny thing. They never hug back.

:cry:

What's the best response? Hugs with happy faces?

:rofl:

Those poor people. They are so desperate for a kind word, they'll take a hug from moi.

:rofl:

:spray: :rofl: great idea :thumbsup:

Even though I am trying to stay as far away from GD P as possible..

And that both were cold and dispassionate during the embrace.

You might not live through that. :rofl:

give them a big ol' Texas hug?!!

Ya know, you might have a winner here!

:rofl:

I think YOU need a hug. :hug:

I always blow kisses at people who yell at other people in traffic.

Into GD-P I go. :patriot:

:patriot:

I gave somebody a hug today, in regular GD. They weren't happy about it.

OT - BoyMidlo came home from school ranting last week about a kid in his class who thinks people 'turn' gay. He ripped him a new one. *sniff* he's his mother's child.

Good for BoyMidlo. More kids need to be like him.

And, here's your hug.

:hug:

:hide:

I wonder if Skinner would let me get away with a Huckabee avatar?

It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

:popcorn:

:rofl:

oh, and :hug:

:rofl:

:rofl:
