Quite frankly I come to DU because it's an interesting read.

[trumad]

DU has always got something interesting to read and ---- it's interactive.

[mmonk]

1. Yes indeed.

It exercises the mind more than most sites.

[Subdivisions]

2. You do more than just read, trumad! :-P

You've certainly gotten a handle on the "interactive" part :).

[trumad]

6. Yeah I know-

I'm mellowing in my older DU years.... Oh I still over-interact...but----

[liberal N proud]

3. The interactive is the addictive part of this place

Great minds, quality information most of the time and freedom to say what we think even if others disagree.

Sometimes I think I spend too much time here but the information is so much more useful than what you find on the tube or in print. People collecting information from a multitude of sources.

[mmonk]

4. The information collecting makes it research worthy.

Therefore, it has a one stop shopping quality about it.

[zabet]

5. Very addictive!!!

Maybe there needs to be a 'DU users anonymous' forum. :rofl:

[trumad]

7. Addictive indeed...

I've actually broke the addiction 2 or 3 times, but I always relapse. I'm guessing I'll be here as long as I live or if they ever close shop.

[mmonk]

8. Living with just the information and opinions outside of DU

will eventually bring you back.

[trumad]

9. Yep---

DU keeps me fresh when I have to face MORANS who get it all from the MSM.

[liberal N proud]

10. Many times people have brought up news that I heard here days before

In conversation someone will mention something they saw in the news or on another web site and I will listen and realize that information was posted here days before the conversation.
Hard to beat that kind of information.

[malaise]

11. Very true - sometimes their 'news' has been on DU

two or three days before.

[trumad]

12. DU has trained me to question all MSM news...

[madokie]

13. I was just telling my wife the other day that we might could drop our subscription

to our local paper,Tulsa world, because the only thing I get from it anymore is the funnies, all else I've already read, sometimes days before. I like the interactive part of du most, when I am in doubt all I have to do is wait a moment and someone will enlighten me as to what is right and what is bull shit. Its never failed me yet either.

[trof]

14. They got great popcorn too, and it's FREE!

:popcorn:
