Thank Goodness for DU!
      

Edited on Fri Jul-09-10 01:28 PM by MineralMan
Seriously. It's one of the few political forums I've been on that lets a wide range of opinion be heard, as long as posters stick with its simple rules and avoid attacking other users or directly attack elected Democrats or Democratic candidates in extreme ways. That's a rare thing. Despite some people's statements to the contrary, I see every facet of Democratic philosophy here, from middle-of-the road Democrats to on-the-edge socialists.

That wide range of opinion helps all of us solidify our own perspectives and provides us all with food for
thought. We're all in this together, so we all might as well talk it out. And that's what I see here every day.

Oh! does that mean I can post there now openly?

1. My dear MineralMan!   
   I could not agree with you more!

This place has saved my sanity, and at other times, threatened it! But it is indeed the best place on the internet...

10. Thanks very much!
   I visit many websites, but DU remains the only one I'm currently posting on. I've left all the others.

OK, this sounds like 1 of those times where you're not sure about something but you rah rah about it just to make yourself feel better.

8. Exactly. We may not agree, but we can speak to each other.
   Sometimes, we actually do agree, besides.

Unless you're conservative or progressive. Be honest here, DU has become nothing but Cheerleaders for Obama, everyone else is flung to the side.

And Cal Peg is right up in there kissing butt as usual. DU is about the only site that would allow such atrocious poetry to be posted. And it is an unwritten rule there. You don't criticize the poetry.

15. Wow! "outstanding site that can't be named"....
 The only sites I know that "can't be named" on DU are rabid right ones and a few rabid anti-DU ones. I would hardly describe them as "outstanding" by ANY measure.

Wonder what #11 was?

But I'd be, uh, a little bit squeamish about having the sparkling husband primitive as the head cheerleader.

Earlier today, I noticed in "General Discussion" on Skins's island that the sparkling husband primitive had started a great number of the campfires burning on page one.

Was checking out some of the other forums today and it seems the mineral primitive saw his name mentioned at OET and went over there declaring that he signed up to defend himself, and that he was not a worshipper of the cult figure known as Dear Leader.  Some poster over there then quoted his own words back to him from the DU BOG forum where he was encouraging all his fellow cult members to defend Dear Leader to the death.  Once the OETers noted he was lying to them about not being a cult member, they got on his case and he ran off.  Seems this thread was a reminder to the primitives that his allegiance is to Dear Leader and doing what's best for the Party as he is instructed.

The mineral primitive is your typical immature 65 year old that mentally stopped growing when he was 14, so naturally the need to kiss butt will always be with him.

I'm not sure why the anti-osteopathic primitive's rabid anti-osteopathism.

I don't feel either way about the issue, but the anti-osteopathic primitive sure has an issue with it.

Maybe he went to an osteopath one time, and the osteopath wouldn't prescribe him drugs.
