DU is a great place to learn about ideas of all kinds from an incredible number of sources.


It is one of the reasons I really like DU.. There are so many different sources, and so many different topics.... It is just like being in a huge library where you pick up the magazines and other resources with the push of a button. Also, there are many ideas generated by those who frequent DU. We share in presenting the research, and in share in presenting our ideas. This place can be educational, as well as fun. I try not to take the arguments too seriously, because that could ruin my day. Just look at all the topics and groups and the number of links posted here. Incredible!

... Overall, DU is my favorite place to go on the internet.

I must have missed the time they presented research.

I think if we went to the dictionary and looked up "simple minded" we would find a picture of Stuart.

On the other hand, he might be one damn fine mole.

The only "new" ideas I've seen on the DUmp were presented by Karl Marx over a hundred years ago, and they weren't even new ideas back then!

It is, but in a sort of "Bad example" or "What not to do" sort of way...

If the DUmp thinks it is good then normal and sane people recoil in disgust at whatever it is.

Well, except for learning about the 1st & 2nd Amendments, so there's that!

DU is a great place to learn. Learn about deviant behavior and psychology.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

You missed the chicken wire, cinder block and flame experiment?   Dayum!  It made all the peer reviewed magazines. Proved GW Bush brought down the Trade Towers on 9/11 with something... think it was mind control or contrails. Can't remember now.   :cheersmate:
