Just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read
I'm not a visitor to Discussionist but when SheShe invited DUers to do a search for their moniker there, I googled to see what I could find. Nothing on Discussionist, thankfully, but my handle did come up as a thread on some bozo site called "Conservative Cave". It was a ludicrous (and of course, highly offensive) rail against my Hobby Lobby protest. Now just why, some asked, would a lesbian care about reproductive rights? What business was it of mine?
Well that was just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read.
I'm not poor -- should I not care about poverty?
I'm white privileged -- should I not give a crap about how racism permeates our society?
I've no children -- should I not care about child abuse?
I'll be long gone before the full effects of climate change smack our world -- should I not give a plug nickel for the environment?
Yes, I'm a lesbian and an older lesbian to boot -- should the reproductive rights of all women be of no concern to me?
What an incredibly pathetic display from the logic-impaired over there. I'll say it again -- that was just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read. So much so that I have to admit I'm still laughing.

18. That is pretty dumb.
And remarkably ignorant of the interlocutors in question, too.
"Conservative Cave" seems like an apt moniker.

39. Apparently it's the Neanderthal think tank
So a "cave" seems entirely appropriate.

26. oh, I see I've been discussed at the cave too.
Harrrr Harrrr.
Don't feel like bothering to check the ravings of the post-doctoral candidates over there!

30. They commented about some of my posts
over there, too. I just found them. They are profoundly ignorant posts. Some of them commented on my daughter's line of work, classical musician.
The posts were stupid and anti-intellectual, but what do you expect? They won't debate us in the open. They go into their cave, a good metaphor for their benighted, in-the-dark attitudes, and make fun of us. They probably don't know how to run their own lives, so they make fun of ours.
I need to go take a shower after reading their stuff. Don't worry about them. They have no credibility.

The same fools [sic] show up from the cave and think that the same bullshit that they live on in their own echo chamber actually has a snowball's chance in hell outside in the real world.

34. OMG!
I did a DI site search, you theHandpuppet did a google search. I just did that too.

I only stopped by for one. That was enough. What they called me there...S/H/Its-S/H/it
So cute~

36. This seems a kind of rubbernecking....
I googled my screen name and conservative cave, and got some of the threads where they had discussed threads here. Kind of amusing how in my case, they'd latched on to my descriptions of how things work in Norway, and their rejoinder seems to be that Norway has $5 bread. Which, granted, is true - but they refrain from mentioning that the average hourly wage in Norway is about $45....

46. I didn't find myself listed there
But I did see some of the most sexist shit for advertising on the home page. Yeeesh.

47. Fortunately I wasn't there long enough to notice
But it doesn't surprise me at all. Cootie Cave needs a serious dose of industrial strength disinfectant.

52. So they sit around and talk shit?
Dumb and a monumental waste of time.
Norway has a high average on their income and their bread costs $5?? Wow, who could have seen that?I knew a girl whose parents had moved there. Minimum wage might be $15 an hour but the prices of goods and services was equally high. Shampoo? $12. Butter? $9. Christmas ham? Forget it.
Hey, DUmmies, welcome to the same thing in the US if you decide everyone needs to make $20/hour minimum wage.
You won't help them because the cost of everything will keep pace with their wages.

MrsCorpio does seem to have a rather, uh, high opinion of himself, doesn't she?

Isn't this the same argument that dummies use against pro-life men? That we can't get pregnant so we shouldn't be able to comment about baby murder?
Dummy's never recognize their own hypocrisy.

Well that explains why all the ads I see here are investment related, real estate, travel, and sports.

Not to boast...but I have Ad Blocker. Like Sergeant Schultz, I see nothing...
Funny, the only ads I see are touting Viagra and johnson enlargement devices....
