Some of the meanest, nastiest people I've run across in my life are right here on DU.

This place used to be honorable and intelligent. Now it's just WWE-Politics.

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves!

3. I have no doubt that maybe a few of these people are just unsocialized Democrats.

But it's my firm belief that most of the ugliness and nastiness is coming from ConservativeCave trolls, trying to stir things up.

And however inept, incompetent, backward, broken, idiotic, and squalid they may be, they're good at causing trouble. That's why they do it.

I started lurking here in March, 2001. (I registered in September of that year, one week after the Towers came down.) I saw a lot of arguments in the forums, few as they were. And they were almost all followed by apologies and expressions of friendship and liberal solidarity. We were civil to each other. And I believe that the DU-ers who still are, are the genuine article. If they get ugly and profane, I assume they're trolls who can't be reasoned with.

 :-) :-) :-)

So, boys and girls, just...

I'll take that as a compliment.  And we don't do it because we're good at it, we do it because it's fun

So dummie... I, and others that inhabit this corner of the internet, are inept, incompetent, etc?

Let us break this down dummie, shall we?

1. I can feed myself without the government's help
2. I can house myself without the government's help
3. I can heat/cool my house without the government's help
4. I can have a phone without the government's help
5. I can clothe myself without the government's help
6. I can perform maintenance on my house and vehicle without the government's help
7. I can spell and write reasonably well
8. I am gainfully employed

Dummies:
None of the above

Now who is inept, incompetent, backward, broken, idiotic, and squalid again?  Ain't us dumbass.

The whole reason why you hate people like me is because people like me shine a spotlight on why utter idiots such as yourself should never be allowed to elect people into power over the rest of us.  If CC is such a collection of buffoons then you dummies, with your superior intellect, should be able to shine a spotlight on us and our idiocy. Except you do not. Why is that?  I will educate you as to why. We are the mainstream, not you.

I'll take that as a compliment.  And we don't do it because we're good at it, we do it because it's fun.

That too.  :cheersmate:

Liberals are inept, craven, ugly, and vile.  This guy needs to look around his own website (and in the mirror) before venturing off of Skinner's Island of Misfit Toys to cast blame on the nastiness he's surrounded by.

Problem is...CTD doesn't believe that DU IS anything but sunshine and roses and any ugliness HAS to be infiltrators.

pro·jec·tion

the unconscious transfer of one's own desires or emotions to another person:
"we protect the self by a number of defense mechanisms, including repression and projection"


I'll take that as a compliment.  And we don't do it because we're good at it, we do it because it's fun.

$kammer$ infants will just never get it.

Quote from:
About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.

The above statement is in his DU profile.

You can't call those with whom you politically disagree "inept, incompetent, backward, broken, idiotic, and squalid" and then claim you want, or living your life as if, we "all live in peace and brotherhood." It's clear hypocrisy on his part.

Aristus primitive, you're two-faced given what you say vs. what you do. You really believe your "About Aristus" profile, then you can't say the things you do about those of whom you disagree, otherwise you're automatically yelling to the world you're a fake.

The Aristus primitive, who's good chums with California Peggy, is the informal guru of the Lounge.

He's a physician's assistant, and a military verteran; he started going bad about the same time he developed a pot belly and lost much of his hair.

The Aristus primitive is afflicted by the same attitude that ails the older primitives.

All his life, he's been constantly assured by popular culture, by the news media, by Hollywood, by academia, that his feelings and opinions and perceptions are the right ones.

And then came the internet some years ago, to challenge that.

And he doesn't like it a damned bit, being contradicted.  He's not used to being doubted.

This reminds of a wry old joke that went something like this:

One day, St. Peter paid Earth a visit, and found Satan off alone, sitting on a rock and crying. So Peter asks Satan what his problem was, and Satan replied: "It's these Christians! They keep blaming me for bad things I didn't even do!"

With libs around, Satan can take as much time off as he wants to.

"without the government's help" also needs "and in spite of the government's interference" added at the end of it.

I'm with you 110%, Karin.

Cavers don't troll, they mole. Leave it to the DUmmies to confuse the two issues.
