poll: should the DUmpster have a new rule?

[franksolich]

It appears that Skins's island hit a new low this evening, when a primitive, apparently a very popular one but one the DUmpster's overlooked, made a grandoise announcement that she's dying.

It sounds credible; I for one don't doubt it.

However.

This is sick, really sick.

Facing death is a very daunting thing, necessitating tending to one's affairs in real life, not jibber-jabbering about it on the internet with people one's never met in real life.

I can't believe my fellow alum Skins let that stand, it's such bad taste.

Should the DUmpster have a rule against posting "I'm dying" campfires from Skins's island, or at the very least, require that such sordid exhibits of bad taste be posted in "Political Rants and Raves" or the Sandhills forum?

Not sure, but maybe they could be in a hidden forum and archived to see if they live up to their promise of dying.  Did Pam ever kick the bucket or was she lying?

Apparently not, although she's been absent from Skins's island for a long time now.

I suspect that some entity in real life--her husband, her sisters, her employer, someone--finally put his or her foot down, reminding Pamela that she's a very sick person (sick in the head), and shouldn't be game-playing on the internet; that she was mocking other primitives genuinely dying from one thing or another.

That's a different case, though, than this one (I think).  In this case, I suspect the primitive's telling the truth.

On the one hand, everyone comes to terms with his/her own mortality in their own way.

On the other hand, if there is no rule, DUmmies will soon be competing to "out-die" each other.

DUmmies need rules, they are like the creatures on the Island of Dr Moreau, and so long as they remain on their own island, they should be given all the rules that can be thought up that could possible bring one or two to civilization.

Well if I was dying, I sure wouldn't announce it and drag everyone down with me.

DUmmies do it for the attention.  IRL they have no friends and relatives that give a damn if they live or die.

They've all alienated them during Christmas and Thanksgiving.

[GOBUCKS]

No way.

Dead DUmmies are a barrel of laughs, and dying DUmmies are virtually certain to be lying.

In the few instances where they're not lying, it's nothing but good news and their despair is entertaining.

This silly rule would have kept Pam Dawson out of the DUmpster for the last two or three years.

Bennyboy's diabetic suicide fast and his Squeamish Carcinoma would be out-of-bounds.

I'd love to see them try to out-die one another.

If anyone's making a rule, let Skimmer do it.

[USA4ME]

I could see where dying would come in handy for a mole who wants to be more brazen about what they say but could somewhat shield themselves from attack.  It's sorta the internet version of "You can't hit me, I'm wearing glasses."

If I ever announce that I'm dying, don't go getting all down in the DUmps over it. Raise a glass of something to me and just say, "Oh well, the old fool enjoyed his time here and may he have a good journey into the here after."....and then go about your business as usual. No use getting all upset and faking a bunch of emotions like the DUmmies do. Death is a part of life that we all must face some day, just do your best to be ready for it.

Ditto for me.  H5, BTW.

Agreed. Birth is a terminal disease. There's no point in making a Scarlet O'Hara drama about death.

[Karin]

Well, I think the unspoken rule here is to only bring over threads which provide some modicum of entertainment, or to expose the liberal lunacy.  I didn't open that thread over there, as I felt it didn't qualify under my 2 self-imposed rules. 

I cannot imagine putting such a thing in a public, political internet forum.  If one must use the internet to discuss ones impending doom, I am sure there are sites dedicated to the subject.  Of course, these may be spiritual in nature, and so like holy water to a vampire for the DUmmies.

[Tucker]

I shoot on Wed. night, so I need to be brought up to date.

Link anyone?

As to announcing a pending death in public, why would it bother the party of abortion? After all, they're just a clump of cells.

Yea, this. ^  Hi 5 also.

[GOBUCKS]

Democrats at the DUmp don't believe in Heaven, but they're not so sure about Hell.

That's why they wail and moan.

Their death threads are hilarious.

Watch how their fellow DUmpmonkeys maintain DUmp cred by going through contortions to avoid the word "prayer".

If Skimmer makes a rule, it should be that officially-announced terminal DUmmies start at least one thread per week until they slither off to their reward.

[Duke Nukum]

Yea, this. ^  Hi 5 also.

But it is equally as much fun to watch DUmmies alert on each other as the more equal ones violate the DUmp rules.

I say more rules is never a bad thing when it comes to a Marxist of any sort. They will jump over each other to be the more politically correct and thus the more pleasing to the Central Committee.

[franksolich]

Well, okay, I guess the DUmpster won't have a new rule, and carry on as we always have, trusting the good judgement of members about what's tasteful to post, and what's not.

But I thought I'd ask.

[Ballygrl]

Link to the thread?

Personally I avoid threads here that deal with illness and psychiatric problems, unless it's to offer a Prayer to the person having the problem, I just can't celebrate someone else's misery.

Did you "celebrate" when Osama Bin Laden was killed?

You may have stumbled upon what makes a DUmmie a DUmmie.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I had to go with "Maybe."  Mixed feelings about it, really.

[Ballygrl]

Are you seriously comparing Osama Bin Laden to people who have an idiotic political opinion?

[Reality vs DU]

DUmmies are enemies of America, same as Bin Laden was.  Hear me out. 

A large portion of DUmmies and their ilk are socialists and communists.  From history we know what comes with these forms of government.  If these people were to have their way, you'd see more misery and death in the USA than Bin Laden could have imagined in his wildest dreams.  This makes them enemies of our way of life in this country wouldn't you agree?  I don't know how a person could say otherwise, knowing what would happen to this economy if they had total control. 

And if you want to talk about supporting the death of Americans, look no further than abortion.  Some 3000 people tragically lost their lives on 9/11.  381,000 babies have been murdered this year alone in the US and 56 million since Roe vs. Wade.  DUmmies and leftists emphatically support this.

I don't see how a person could read the DUmp with all the vile things they say, then turn around and feel sorry for them when they get sick. 

It's way more than an idiotic political opinion, it is the full fledged support of the destruction of our economy and way of life.  It is the full fledged support of the murder of the most vulnerable humans of all, infants.

I would argue, DUmmies and leftists are actually way, way worse and a much bigger threat than Bin Laden ever was.

Or do I have this all wrong?

Love ya, man.  This is my main gripe about the sob-sisters.
