AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUU RRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Pale Blue Dot]

Hey! Did you know that I'm just like the followers of Jim Jones and Adolf Hitler?

Really, in GD you can learn the most fascinating things about yourself.

Can anyone recommend a good deprogramming site?

AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

1. What don't you agree with?

I have been keeping away so I don't know what the deal is there anymore, because I was tired of being called things like that.

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. You know, this is the lounge

I don't want to bring the specific fight over here. I'm just blowing off steam. :D

[Misunderestimator]

20. But, it's pretty easy to guess what fight you are referring to.

[progmom]

2. let me guess

you're either for or against will pitt?

[Pale Blue Dot]

4. Not exactly.

I just don't agree with the opinion of someone who is either for or against him.

[SteppingRazor]

5. Why do you hate freedom? People like you are worse than Hitler

:evilgrin:

[Richardo]

6. Way to bring up Hitler, Hitler.

:eyes:

[SteppingRazor]

7. Nice goosestep, Adolph n/t

[Richardo]

12. Way to hoodwink Neville Chamberlain, Hitler.

[SteppingRazor]

16. Nice blitzkreig into Poland, Der Fuhrer n/t

[realisticphish]

23. nice job painting that house

in 1924 :eyes:

[Richardo]

28. Way to be a corporal in WWI

[realisticphish]

29. way to

be born in Braunau, Austria :eyes:

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. Stop it! Both of you!

We're all Hitler! OK?

[SteppingRazor]

10. See? Finnfan even ADMITS that he's Hitler. Unbelievable!

:evilgrin:

[progmom]

11. so of course i was curious

my interpretation: you took something personally that wasn't meant as an attack on you. i've been doing a lot of reading over there the past few days, and there are people who appear to be zealously supporting people just because and calling people who don't nasty names. and that doesn't really do us any good. the post you're referencing didn't appear to be including you in that bunch.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. So we should call THOSE people nasty names? That's OK?

Thanks. I really just wanted to vent. I wasn't trying to bring the specific argument in here.

[AlCzervik]

9. GD is especially hideous today, i made the mistake of trying to catch

up on news---won't be doing that again.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. It is what it is...a place like no other.

I have been called grumpy, freeper, uninformed, a zionist, a believer in fairytales, a bitch, an apologist, noncommitted, unprogressive, tinfoilhatter...it just depends on the day. If you go back tomorrow, you'll get to be someone else. :thumbsup:

Edited for: :hug: Pass that on too. She's still missed.

[JohnKleeb]

15. Zionist?

I imagine that was used as an insult. It shouldn't be. Problem with GD is that people are too in love with what they have to say and they think only they know what is right. Buncha of self-rightousness if you ask me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I would agree with you there...

...and then when it trickles on over into the Lounge, I just about pull my hair out. It becomes a contest of no! NO! Look at what I have to say. Even when we agree with each other we tend to need to put our own personal stamp on it. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

19. Yeah its nuts

I think the main reason why I've been staying out of GD for quite sometime now is because of the excessive hyperbole of it all.

[redqueen]

17. ...

21. Oh Pul-Lease

Do folks just not have any backbone that they can't go into GD/GDP and actually defend what they post and not crawl into the corner into the fetal position everytime you find a post you disagree with.

Geez, what happens in real life if you have to discuss the issues with a live person?

If we're that weak in GD/GDP then I weep for the future of this country and the progressive agenda

[jukes]

22. in *real* life

i can punch them in the throat. ends the argument, y i get the last word in.

BTW, i can also use that tactic w/ rude people that try to minimalize me by ignoring me, but i usu just trod on their toes...

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. What happens IRL is people tend to be a bit more civilized.

It is what it is. I am a different person in somebody's opinion every day of the week. It's actually kind of cool. :hi:

[jukes]

25. more civil

so they *don't* get a punch in the throat. but that's just my perspective; i'm both a barbarian & an anarchist.

[Taverner]

26. Funny...I thought you were more like the followers of Neil Diamond

[asthmaticeog]

27. Finnfan's Jewish?

Well so much for Hitler, then... :silly:

[Benfea]

30. Hey, look on the bright side

It could be worse. You could be posting at Freepers or RaptureReady.

[uppityperson]

31. Yeah. I'm a neocon, according to the 1 person I have on ignore.

[BreweryYardRat]

32. GD's got a lovely proportion of drama queens.

Proof that Democrats can be as stupid as any Republican.

Don't worry about it.

[b-ballgurl]

33. You need to have your happy, Sudoku time, Pat!

:P

:rofl:

[Hardrada]

34. You think GD is tough.

Check out the new SDS New Left Cafe where the anarchists and the Maoists are at it once again. Just like old times (sigh). I side with the former since I didn't get a shot at the initial IPO when Beijing went public.
