LOL
That's hilarious !!!
I don't think they're trainable. No matter how hard you try to change one, a lazy ass will be a lazy ass for life. And we know from the filthy pictures of their homes they are lazy as hell. :-)

2. Yup, but after a few, no longer will comment
well beyond one thing.. .eat your bananas.
I've always associated the name with Principal Skinner - an absolutely incompetent state employee who lives with his mom, and more or less lets 'the inmates run the asylum'.

I always thought that the real purpose of the DUmp, aside for being comedic entertainment for normal, decent folks, is to turn people from the dem party.
I know that every single person that I've shown DU to, including democrats, has come away amazed and disgusted.
Uh huh, that's it.
Skins's island was formed right after the elections of 2000, when Alphonse Capote Gore tried to steal Florida, and failed.
It was then that regular Democrats and liberals realized that their fringe made the rest of them look bad, and hired Skins, who was newly-unemployed because his (D) congressman had lost his primary, to set it up, so as to act as a magnet attracting, and ultimately sequestering, that fringe in a place the general public probably wouldn't notice them.
Like stuffing retarded cousin Johnny in the attic, or something.

A little over ten years ago our youngest was taking a psych class in college. He called me one night and asked if I had ever heard of a psychologist/behaviorist who had performed experimental analysis of behavior using lab rats and other animals, and if I had, did I have any information on him. I did know who he was referring to, we had studied him when I took psych101 back in the 60’s, and I agreed to help him with some research.
I happen to own a small office building and one of my tenants is a psychologist I’ll call “Bobâ€. Bob had a treasure trove of books and information on the subject and met with my son to help him do a mid-term report for his class. Meanwhile I decided to do an internet search and found a website that was eerily similar sounding to the lab rat experiments that we had been discussing. I had to show it to Bob and he was immediately fascinated by the place. We both registered and began lurking and eventually posting at the site. Sometimes we would coordinate our conversations in order to obtain the desired responses. Bob did it because he studies human behavior for a living. Me? I just like to stir the pot sometimes.
By now I’m sure you recognize the website we invaded as the Democraticunderground.
Now, what we both found instructive, and maybe even a bit amusing, was the nom de plume of the owner and chief behaviorist at the DUmp by the name of Skinner, for you see the psychologist/behaviorist we were looking into was none other than B.F. Skinner who also invented a device known as the “operant conditioning chamber†also commonly called a “Skinner Boxâ€.
