Suffering fools
How much leeway should we allow those who are not so smart in the Democratic Party?

You know it and I know it. They are out there and in here too.


Here is the better question - How much of our agenda should reflect theirs?

OK. I am outie. I just want to hear the answers.

1. Are you talking about people who are genuinely stupid, or those who are being deliberately obtuse?
:shrug:

The first are just dunces to be pitied, the latter, trolls. The alert button is a handy tool in the latter instance, certainly.

We are a big tent. The party has a 'conservative' wing and a liberal wing, and a big mushy middle. Not everyone's going to agree on everything, but if they're so far off the page they aren't even in the library anymore, well, that alert button's probably the best bet.

3. No, You Didn't Make Your Point Clearly
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 05:23 PM by Beetwasher
Not at all.

So, who exactly are these "not so smart" people, according to you? What makes them "not so smart" and what's "their" agenda as opposed to "ours"?

7. What's Silly Is Your OP. Why Won't You Answer My Question?
So, which particular stupid people are you talking about? What's "their" agenda? What's "our" agenda? Care to clarify?

There are stupid people everywhere, so what?

12. Because No One Knows What The Fuck You Are Talking About
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 05:34 PM by Beetwasher
Your OP is anything but clear. One might actually be inclined to believe at this point that it's troll bait since you refuse to clarify WTF you are talking about. What is the "agenda" of these stupid people that we need to do something about?

15. Thought So
Since you refuse to clarify what you'r talking about, it can be safely assumed at this point that you are full of shit and actually don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.

Upset? Hardly. You're the one whining about cursing and "suffering fools". Sounds to me like your so upset that you can't even properly explain to anyone what the hell it is you're talking about. :rofl:

31. I can see you wish to divide DU, but what is it you hope to conquer?
What's your goal? What's your point?

This joint ain't MENSA. A schlub like me has some of the the same basic goals as an articulate professor with multiple degrees posting on DU.

33. I see it this way..
Troll asks an unclear question about stupidity. So when it's responded to by anyone questioning what do they mean, they insinuate you are stupid for not understanding their idiotic question and therefore they "think" they've made their point. LOL

This person wasted so much time, I mean they have like 1300 or so posts, to come 'out' like this? It's actually the best laugh I had all day.:rofl: :rofl:

36. I would say
27% more than average on weekdays. Weekends should be roughly 10-12% more. There is also a day rate between 9:45-6:30 where leway can be cut by 72% on the odd minutes.
