1. Does this count?
I posted in one, but on a tangential issue - i.e., being mean to newbies.

Uh-oh.

I just remembered that I axed a question in another thread. I cited the looks of Golda Meir.

I'm tainted, ain't I?

2. What do you mean "as if?" We don't know one way or another.
Check out Andrew Sullivan's list of PALIN LIES--it's longer than your arm.

Who knows what those two crazy kids are up to?

It's a RUMOR. Rumors are fun!

5. It's untrue JUST because her spokesperson "officially" said so?
Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 06:50 PM by rocktivity
For the record, I think the rumors were generated by the fact that neither has been photographed wearing a wedding ring recently. But I can think of a very reasonable explanation for that--with all the hands they have to shake, there's a very real possibility that someone could pull them off.

Nonetheless, while she may not be getting divorced tomorrow, why in the world should we start taking Palin at her word NOW???

28. You grossly misunderstand ......
.... I have been on this kick since this "feature" was instituted. My view is thus:

A rec is a positive action, that, if done anonymously, is still a positive. A disagreement, on the other hand, is such that if the opposer wishes to verbalize it, requires one to reveal oneself. Then a discussion can take place. It could result in agreeing to disagree or it could result in a disagreeable disagreement. But no one is confused. An anonymous unrec is simply a chickenshit, cowardly, jerkoff thing to do. If one wishes to do it, one ought to be brave enough to man up and say they did the unrec and why. Without such acknowledgment, it is simply a way for a simpering, cowardly, chickenshit jerkoff to take a negative action and remain an anonymous, chickenshit, jerkoff.

I have **NO** problem with unrecs that are owned by the unreccer.

chickenshit, jerkoff, cowardly brigade?

35. No, and for obvious reasons, if you stop to actually think about it
Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 08:11 PM by Stinky The Clown
An anonymous positive action of any sort is a perfectly acceptable, time honored rite.

Anonymous spitballs are chickenshit, jerkoffish, and cowardly.

Plus, lots of people own up to recs. Damned few own their unrecs. They're like stray dogs shitting on your front lawn.

39. On the first page of GD, without much searching, I found one thread
with 30 replies and 97 recs, another with 12 replies and over twice as many recs. Lots of people also don't own up to recs.

40. Okay, I'll try this again since you seem to be having a problem with it
Anonymous rec = positive thing = good deed = no ownership needed if owner wishes to remain anonymous

Anonymous unrec = negative thing = bad deed = bad person should take ownership.



Now .... got it?

:hi:

45. There is no problem here. But let me help you.
Number of responses up = stays on first page, regardless of rec/unrec status, and indicates good and/or interesting topic

Complaining about unrecs and maybe not seeing screen name on greatest page = ego issues.

Don't make boring, uninteresting, or inane OP, and one gets responses, maybe recs (maybe not)

Got it?

47. Do you work at obtuseness?
I don't care how mny unrecs I get (or any other post gets, actually). My issue is with hit and run chickenshit, jerkoff, anonymous cowards who choose to shit on people's lawns and never admit its their turd.

Got it, 'naught??

I figured (the one I looked at, are there more than one?) was going to be a 'gotcha, made ya look' sort of thing. I was surprised to find some, including the OP, I guess think it real. I checked the webpages I normally check, CNN and NYTimes, but nuttin' there. So...

21. I checked and found no corroboration
and posted about that. I now feel smug about doing so. I also don't really care too much if it is a rumor and am fine with people fanning all the rumors they wish about Palin. I despise her. If her marriage hasn't failed I hope it soon will. My the fleas of a thousand camels infest her crotch. etc.

The cluck clucking about sacred marriage and think of the children makes me throw up a bit in my mouth.

23. Nope, won't comment on the speculative threads
While I think it is entirely possible the Palin's could divorce, it sounds like speculation of that event is premature at best right now.

I don't take any pleasure dancing on anyone's grave for death, divorce, illness or misfortune. While I might take a private moment for a Church Lady-type "superiority dance" I won't broadcast my real feelings.

Honestly, I think a majority of us at DU are better than cheering at anyone's misfortune - regardless of how richly deserved at times.

That said, if the Palin's announce their divorce plans, y'all can find me doing a dance on my patio and probably laughing a bit.

Flame away on this....I'm sure I'll catch hell for it

Not that I blame anyone who DID post. Palin is a juicy steak for us, we have to tear into it when we smell that blood.
