1. This is why I don't want to post in GD anymore |

The Freaking Time restraint Police on GD! They always seem to want to jump on someone if their posting isn't from a story that is 13 seconds old? I am not talking about the Breaking News ...its freaking General Discussion for heaven sakes! Since when did an odd story have to have a freaking time limit on it??? Screw it, I am staying in the Lounge.

2. It wasn't always that way... |
|
I have been here for almost 8 years now and I can remember when there were polite discussions in GD. My only guess is, that as DU grew it also changed at the same time. :shrug:

4. Why is it now COOL to be RUDE? |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 09:19 PM by AsahinaKimi
It sure seems like the Republicans have taught Democrats over the last 8 years that being rude and nasty is just being "cool". Its the in thing to slap down people and get laughs. I don't find it humorous at all. :argh: :rant:

6. A bunch of reasons: anonymity, insecurity, |
|
the belief that adding crude invective to opinion makes it more believable. :P Posting there and not losing it is a skill!

7. Lots of them seem to think it's cool to be completely negative |
|
24/7.
Got something positive to post? Pooh on you then.
Some folks just cannot STAND IT when anything even remotely positive about anything gets posted, unless it's some "positively negative" about the gubmint.
:banghead:

9. Because their government, in which a lot of posters take some interest... |
|
...is failing them utterly, and their TVs won't even acknowledge this fact. Because their economy is slowly collapsing, and most people have even less interest in fixing it than they do awareness of the problems.

19. With me you can just cut to the end of the equation. |
|
Skip the rest. I'm not nice and I don't need the internet to be an asshole, and I'd be that way even if you all knew me. ;)
