would it kill people to be nice to each other?
There's no need to call each other assholes or other nasty personal stuff. We can disagree with one another, even disagree mightily, even butt heads, but we're all on the same team and should be civil.
Hell, I don't think I even call Republicans the kind of names we call each other around here.
We're all frustrated for a lot of reasons. So what. Be civil. Or civilization goes to Hell.
UPDATE: I'm amazed that the mods are asleep at the wheel and haven't killed this thread yet, and heartened by the approval of this post's sentiment. However, I will do what the mods are perhaps too drunk or high to do, and PULL THIS POST if I see that it gets any more votes than this one:
The Real Numbers: Half of America in Poverty -- and It's Creeping toward 75%
After all, my post is just whining about DU, but xchrom's is about real human suffering. (Of course, if we stop calling each other assholes, we might be able to do something about real human suffering...)
