GD-P has reached a new low and it depresses the hell out of me.
I can't believe we were all on the same team up until a few months ago. Man, life's too short to sit around and post such hatred.

1. Life's too short to let one tiny corner of the internet get to you too much.
Just remember, most folks in the real world are nothing like the folks in GD:P.

:hug:

6. If you want something to cheer you up, check out the thread about Google and Memorial Day in GD
It's simply astonishing the things people will argue about - vehemently, violently - in those forums. At least in the Lounge, we lighten it with a lot of humor and a couple of dozen copycats. :rofl:

8. Wait....
I think you missed the poll there where posters were asked whether they preferred an hour of sex vs. an hour of posting in GD-P...
At least 12 people said they preferred an hour of GD-P....:scared:

21. Welcome to the General Discussions: Primaries automated switchboard.


Welcome to the General Discussions: Primaries automated switchboard. Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Angry Illogical Ranting.

((BEEP))

You have selected Angry Illogical Ranting. Welcome to General Discussion: Primaries. Please make the following selection:

Press 1 for broad-based generalizations.
Press 2 for the strawman fallacy.
Press 3 for subtly inciting hatred against your fellow Democrat.
Press 4 for arguing implausible scenarios just to rile up fear.
Press 5 for gross hypocrisy.
Press 6 for sanctimonious self-righteousness.
Press 7 for pretending to care about things you really don't care about just to suit your own agenda.
Press 8 for mock indignation.
Press 9 for veiled threats.
Press 10 for telling others to recommend your post because getting it on the Greatest Page is the best thing that will ever happen to you in your life and you can now die happy.
Press 11 for crazed mob mentality and herd behavior.
Press 12 for rationalizing your own behavior by claiming that the other side acts much worse than yours.
Press 13 for being an grand embarrassment to your own candidate and being against everything for which he or she actually stands.
Press 14 for circular logic, red herrings and non-sequitors.
Press 15 for TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND CURSING A LOT!!!!!!!
Press 16 for exaggerating the outcome of current events and otherwise blindly panicking for no reason.
Press 17 for prematurely jumping to conclusions based solely on rumor, innuendo or unsubstantiated evidence.
Press 18 for quoting out of context.
Press 19 for counterproductive behavior that is only going to serve to further divide us down the road.
Press 20 for not actually giving a damn about what your candidate is actually saying because you have worked yourself up into an emotionally frenzied state.

If you wish to repeat these options, you are obviously a troll and clearly want the Democrats to lose. We are in the process of alerting the moderators, and your thread will be locked. Prepare to be tombstoned. IBTL!!! IBTL!!!

If you are looking for calmness, rationality, common sense, unity, coalition building and/or logic, no options exist for such choices. Please hang up and feel disillusioned by your fellow Democrats. We fuck you for your patience. Have a shitty day

22. So why go there?
seems like it is a bunch of people who like to hate more than they like to discuss

I tend towards staying away for the most part.

Even though, good people like you and others go in there to try to make some kind of difference in there, it still isn't worth the stench that attaches itself from going in.

I stay out of sewers for the same reason basically. Well that and I'm afraid I couldn't get out of a sewer and then I'd be swept to the river and out to sea eventually. Hmmm... well I think its easier to get of GD-P :P

28. You may have noticed I've been posting these in GD:P threads I consider stupid






And tonight I've posted them in an even number of Clinton and Obama supporter threads.

29. It's been interesting to watch them heated & bouncing round like a gymnasium full of ping-pong balls
settle down like the last few kernels in a bag of microwaved popcorn pop...pop-pop, pop.......pop; then start it all back heated up & flaming again with the same ole shrieking, pointless, self-centered shit as before round & round & round in circles

You are right, it keeps getting lower & lower

33. It's a nightmare
There is a huge difference between the Lounge and General Discussion, etc., versus GD:P. Two entirely different websites.
