Farewell??...Being a new DUer, why in the world would anyone join
if there didn't spend sometime reading the posts? This is not only an information gathering place, seems to me it is meant to exchange views, frustrations, opinions, and so on (even my nightmares about * taking my home)...

if those saying their farewell are not capable to tolerate or accept others people's views, points and thoughts, why would they join a DEMOCRATIC titled site?

Don't get it.

14. Hello, I must be going
Hello, I must be going.
I cannot stay,
I came to say
I must be going.
I'm glad I came
but just the same
I must be going.

(then the DU chorus)
For my sake you must stay,
for if you go away,
you'll spoil this party
I am throwing.

I'll stay a week or two,
I'll stay the summer through,
but I am telling you,
I must be going.

-Groucho Marx

4. I think the Beatles explained this better than anyone else...


You say yes, I say no.
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

I say high, you say low.
You say why and I say I don’t know, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello goodbye hello goodbye hello hello
Hello goodbye I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello goodbye hello goodbye hello hello
Hello goodbye I don’t know why you say goodbye
Hello goodbye I say goodbye.

Why why why why why why do you say goodbye goodbye, oh no?

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

You say yes I say yes I say no but I may mean no.
You say stop I can stay and I say go go go till it’s time to go oh, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say goodbye
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello hello.

Hela heba helloa cha cha, hela...

5. I think some just get burnt out
Welcome to DU!

There's a lot of anger here (justified, imo) and every time Bush gets away with something, it gets worse. Most try to channel their anger into activisim -- however, sometimes it does get a bit overwhelming and one just needs a break.

Now, this being the internet and all, there are some who just like to argue and get their jollies starting flame wars. They usually get banned or shunned or ignored (the "ignore" feature is great, btw).

9. I can buy that, but I'm glad we have the chance to find
venues like DU...and I believe the anger is very well founded...How could we just accept that they get away with so much w/o even noticing it?

6. I don't get it either
I'll be the first to admit there is sometimes some weird shit.... uh, I mean interesting opinions... here on du.

But when you go the library you don't read all the books. I take what speaks to me and leave the rest.

15. This is a low-life site
Any place that would accept someone like me as a member, has no class.
