My wife says that everyone posting in this forum is crazy.
I think she's right if anyone here thinks this is an effective forum to actually try to influence the primaries.

2. Yep! They're not influencing me one way or the other and all of this hatred
really turns me off.

5. But what if
there is really no one else here? What if this is just an inner conflict in your subconscious mind?

9. Right now this place is good for news breaks and current events.
Best to steer clear of folks who love their candidate in an irrational way. Peace, kim

If a discussion forum helps to better formulate their ideas and decisions,
how crazy is that? On the other hand, "Insanity is a sane response to an insane world."

So go figure.

19. i find that insulting
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 08:55 PM by anyothername
i believe that by posting here, i'm actually having a great effect on the outcome this election. not through the process of convincing voters of my opinion, but rather through altering the direction of space time, by way of effecting quantum chance. the theory of quantum mechanics states that all observations of quantum phenomenon alter the eventual perceived outcome. by using the human mind, itself a quantum machine, and posting on the du, i am actively effecting the course of history.

shit... maybe i am crazy.

15. welcome to the club, crazy
Nobody actually posts here to influence opinions. At least nobody who knows their head from their ass thinks they're influencing opinions.

Think of it more as a circular firing squad.

However there are occasional insightful posts here.

30. Why would any one want to influence the primaries? Only
paid operatives are stirring the pot here and they show up seasonally for these love fests. The rest of us have done our homework and know who the best candidates are that we want to vote for and I already voted for mine and he isn't the top two who are getting all the publicity on and off DU.
