Rant #354.05 People come to DU for Sharing, Learning, Bonding, etc. NOT INFORMATION OVERLOAD
Edited on Tue May-22-07 12:52 PM by opihimoimoi
Our Pages/Threads are filled with a mixture of good stuff and CRAP. Mostly Level One Minutiae

Brainwashed Freepers come to Distract and Dilute to weaken the effort of our Cause...which is to see a better America World....

There is no way to filter the BS except through AWARENESS

Where is the BS FILTER/AWARENESS PROGRAM?

3. Huh?
I thought one of the main reasons to visit DU was to read info you can't find elsewhere, stuff the media whores won't mention. That might be considered info overload, but there's lots of shit that needs shoveling out there.

5. I like the instantaneous news and commentary, the media the media reads
You ask, "Where is the BS FILTER/AWARENESS PROGRAM?"

Aced that in grade school! I grew up around Rs. :rofl:
Seriously, just call it out! That's all we need, critical discussion.
And, enough levity to take critical discussion with style.
