IMO: GD has lost it's collective mind.

[Raine1967]

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

I know this might be a meta issue, but meta doesn't exist anymore, so I have a question:

Is GD now a place to create current DU events?

(Please note the title of my OP was IMO)


I'm not going to post much here, I am not looking to fight. I just want to understand what the heck is going on. this place is weirder than usual.

1. I agree. but DU is always in flux.

[Newsjock]

2. Why do you hate America?

[Lil Missy]

3. Benghazi!! Benghazi!!

[Iggo]

4. GD has lost its collective mind.

[liberal N proud]

5. Your assuming GD had a collective mind

[name not needed]

6. You can't lose what you never had.

[Earth_First]

7. GD refugee forum:

[Fumesucker]

8. That's what makes it so much fun to watch, like Calvinball for instance

[Raine1967]

29. +1 eom

[1000words]

9. GD is "Room 12":

[adirondacker]

16. LMAO. Perfect! It should get real interesting come next year. I may go on sabbatical. nt

[1000words]

17. Indeed.

That's when I go into comedy mode and take it all in as parody.

[greytdemocrat]

10. I like pie!!! nt

[Earth_First]

11. You WOULD! nt

[DJ13]

12. I have a mind to say we have no mind, if you dont mind me saying so

[NightWatcher]

13. We like to fight amongst ourselves and practice selective outrage

Some people like to feel morally and intellectually superior to others and arguing about little things as though they are big things does the trick for them.

Notice how I haven't mention any people or factions here. Plus we're a damn huge group of people, we're never going to agree.

[Renew Deal]

14. Do you or have you ever had a romantic relationship with an ape?

Did you or the ape wear make up?

[1000words]

19. Please stop perpetuating ape culture!

[Comrade Grumpy]

27. Heh.

[okaawhatever]

15. You are assuming all the distractions are caused by Democratic minded normal DU members and not

trolls or others wishing to divide and distract us. Did you really think the I love Amazon threads just came out of the blue?


It's DIVIDE and CONQUER tactics. Pure and simple.

[mahina]

38. I've said the same. Obviously true.

Thank you!

[H2O Man]

18. It has been said

that individuals who had taken a bit too much LSD et al often had the experience of a quiet entity keeping watch and helping maintain contact with sanity. There are some DU:GD OPs & comments on threads that serve this basic purpose.

[ElboRuum]

20. GD...

Lost its mind. Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Also, water wet.

GD is like the snake that eats its own tail, throws it up, curses itself for poor judgment, then decides that hunger trumps better judgment, and thinks, "well, maybe just a little nibble."

[Warren DeMontague]

21. A picture of women in bikinis on a beach will tend to have that effect.

Shit, when that stuff with FEMEN was happening and there were actual naked breasts, GD went completely fucking bonkers for like 3 months straight.

[edbermac]

22. I suggest we change GD to PC

As in Pissing Contest

[treestar]

23. Some just don't get the ignore or trash thread concept

And wish to simply scold everyone else into discussing what they think is important and not discussing what they don't like.

[TroglodyteScholar]

30. Bingo

Those who are the most outraged are also those who are "above" using those features.

Fucking bratty children, if you ask me. You don't like it? SKIP it.

[freshwest]

34. Yup. nt

[A Little Weird]

32. +1 n/t

[Sissyk]

24. Full moon?

Not the one up above either.

[neverforget]

40. No but we did have a NASA to Bomb the Moon thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6712126

Greatest. Thread. Ever.

[democratisphere]

25. As GD goes, so goes the world.

Look around. The entire world has lost its collective mind.

[tridim]

26. GD is weirder than real life.

But real life is pretty weird sometimes too.

[Cha]

39. Not as weird as my real life right now..

This all looks pret-ty tame.

[Gore1FL]

28. Well dang.

Your profile doesn't identify you as male or female so I have no idea whether to call you a misogynist or a misandrist for bringing this up!

[TroglodyteScholar]

31. Heh heh heh

[Eleanors38]

33. Probably a toter.

[Logical]

35. Did you see "no whining about the DU"?????

[freshwest]

36. BRING BACK META NOW!!!

[Desert805]

41. I learned that really dumb

Words that mean very different things to different people are banned at DU, regardless of context.

Not that that surprised me.


POCK A SIDE IN GHE VENEER WAR AND FIGHT TIL YOU...

Well..

I don't know that part yet.



BUT FIGHT!

[Cha]

42. Raine..

Leave DU ALONE!

As I posted above.. it's not as weird as my real life right now.. I came here to relax.. talk about a reversal in situations.
