I miss the old ways


It seems everybody is free to do as they please. Moth balling the old 5 hides in 90 days you sit on the bench rule only made things worse.

1. With 9 'Bernie Supporters' to every Hillary Supporter here, the latter were being silenced.

Luckily that ratio doesn't exist in real life.

2. While I feel there needs to be a means of dealing with violators the jury was being abused.

It was being used against anyone people didn't agree with. It became a tool to eliminate those who did support one side or the other.

The admin need to review abusers of the jury system.

3. With the jury system there are no rules, it is tyranny of the majority who silence

unwanted voices by hiding them.
All that matters is that a majority of jurors share an ideology. What almost never matters is what was done.

We do not need to reinstate the five hides rule.

We need to use moderators who enforce a set of rules that everyone must follow.

So, it's "democratic".

When you have dementia how can you trust your own thoughts and memories? How can you know what you are typing is actually what you are thinking?

The great thing about the Big Guy's "condition" is that whenever he screws up, he just claims "Oh, that was the dementia talking". 

It's sort of a spin off of Prov. 26:18-19.

Like a maniac shooting
    flaming arrows of death

is one who deceives their neighbor
    and says, “I was only joking!”

You know, in addition to the big guy's boosting Methuselah, he's offending Skins yet again, daring to tell him how to run his own real-estate.

I think Skins has shown remarkable forbearance and indulgence; it's long past time the big guy was booted off.

You could post your concerns about juries in ATA, noting that Skinner has discussed this issue multiple times over the course of the last month or two.

Steve is having a bad day.

And yet that is what you dummies advocate for the USA voting system. The only time you dummies want democracy is when your agenda is in the majority. Any other time it is katie bar the door.  Dummies, a classic case study in flip flop. 

Suck on it long and hard bernie dummies. Long and hard. Come June or July or whenever the dem convention is you Bernie lovers are gonna get it up the ass with no vas and you will be told to enjoy it... and you will enjoy it.  Or will be gone from DU.

Amazing how that just doesn't seem to be a fun thing for the primitives, when practiced.

Not really...........

I miss the old ways too:

1) When everyone knew where to pee. IF a transgendered person used the restroom, a very low profile was kept.
2) Father/Daughter dances. Being done away with because they aren't "inclusive" of those with two mommies.
3) Common freakin sense
4) People would have laughed at the concept of "triggers", "micro-aggression" "gender identity"

There are more. These just off the top of my head.
