The DU has reached TABLOID LEVEL to a great degree: Diluting series discussions

[opihimoimoi]

its part of the overall GOP battle plan...

Dilute and weaken...

The whole Planet is being ignored while we focus on moot shit...

Trivia obsession is a social killer in terms of group solutions...

Mynah Bytes into the Dilution with pertinent discussions re solutions

Come, we avoid trivia

[LaurenG]

1. Where is your contribution to "serious discussion"

and you might want to fix that typo asap.

[scheming daemons]

2. Diluting "series" discussions??? This is HUGH!!!!11!!!!! I'm SERIES!!!

[rd_kent]

3. What series discussion?

Or do you mean serious?

[MNDemNY]

4. Baseball?

[itsrobert]

It has to be American Idol

Dontcha know Paula may leave the show?

[timeforpeace]

5. "Trivia obsession is a social killer in terms of group solutions..." Whoa, that's heavy.

[NashVegas]

6. Often True, But It Kind of Did That A While Ago

There've always been tabloid fireworks here. Only way to avoid it is to not click on those threads.

[madinmaryland]

7. I guess we all are SCREWN!!1!!

[stuball111]

8. Moon? What Moon?

There is a Moon?... Wow! Since when?

[opihimoimoi]

20. n where did you get a moon from this trivial post?

[Strong Atheist]

38. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[prolesunited]

9. I agree

Too many don't remember the old days. But I do and you are right.

[opihimoimoi]

17. thanks for the nod

[Rex]

10. Wrong.

[KittyWampus]

11. Hey OPI! How you doing? There's no way to control discussions on DU. Just have to let it be

and post what you think is important. :)

[opihimoimoi]

16. It was an observation...no way to control....maybe share another perception is all

Its a Shame...while we mull over moot stuphs...the series Global Probs over looked

[Javaman]

12. Fail.

next mindless post, please?

[NoPasaran]

13. I think I smell a wagging dog

[Forkboy]

14. You tried.

:thumbsup:

[opihimoimoi]

15. LOL....I tried...but it was predictable...we are stuck on level one...

come, we go study mootology....

The GOP attempting to smother us w moot shit...

They are series

[ColbertWatcher]

18. I'll just cast these in here ...

[Quantess]

19. And what is so meaningful about THIS thread?

It's just more filler, and it isn't even as interesting as "tabloid type threads"...sorry to tell you.

[leftstreet]

21. Has Capitalism really delivered cheaper PORN?

That's how you wanna fashion your OPs

[opihimoimoi]

35. Sex sells all else SUCKS....LOL

[itsrobert]

22. John McEnroe, "You can't be series"

nt

[happydreams]

23. People are never given the boot for spewing trivia, only when someone

gets serious do their topics get shitcanned to the forums.

DU is run by a cynical bunch of assholes who don't really give a fuck. Or maybe they just don't get it.

[opihimoimoi]

26. the latter please

[dorkulon]

24. Come on people, be series! nt

[IcyPeas]

25. I agree with you

I sometimes wonder if this site is full of junior high school kids. You put in a serious point for discussion and all you get is wise ass sarcastic replies. And that's fine but there's a place for that..... The Lounge. I have a very low post count yet I have been here for years. I am of the belief that if one has nothing to say or add to a discussion, then don't. (although I admit if everyone did that it would be a very slow moving board).

28. 50 to 60 percent of adults cannot adequately compute simple math

40 % cannot or will not READ

THE BEST VOTING DOES NOT COME FROM this group

Too easily Fooled....

There is a time place for facetiousness

then there are series discussions re current events and their collection of perspectives...we see things one way...and others see it diff

thanks for the 'sponse

[rug]

27. Yeah, but 72 times!

[opihimoimoi]

33. LOL....Nekkidness rules?...:o)

[Occam Bandage]

31. That's some very series asparagus you're casting. nt

[opihimoimoi]

32. Clever Wit is a sign of a Brain unimpaired with clutter

[Occam Bandage]

36. It's all down to how our brains are wired. Some people have potential.

Some people have a high level of resistance. Some people are highly charged. Some people are wired in parallel. Others are wired in series.

[opihimoimoi]

37. LOL...The Wire Realm.....but of course....not sure what realm we are in...
