For all those who believe the end is near |
|
why are you wasting your day on DU? If I believed disaster was at hand, the last thing I would be doing is sitting in front of a computer.

2. If it's good enough for any day, it's good enough for the last one |
|
I'd have no problem with spending my last day here. In fact, I'd bet many people have spent their last day here.

17. Well, that's just very sad then |
|
I have a family and friends IRL. If that's the case, perhaps you need to get out more, perhaps volunteer somewhere.

24. Just the opposite. One should be satisfied with every day of their life |
|
not just the last one. (that doesn't sound right, lol)

36. Heartless because I think it would be sad |
|
if a person had no connections to people in real life? Heartless because I suggested volunteering as a means of making a human connection?
And, yeah, you're right, after 10 years here, I really don't think I belong.

It's just disaster voyeurism, and hoping to stroke their egos saying "I told you so."

18. So since you think no disaster is at hand, you waste time chiding ... |
|
... those who are concerned instead of maybe finding & sharing factual data that may allay their fears?
How humanitarian of you. :eyes:

We're somewhere in between and I hope we all all hoping for a good resolution to the current, big problem.

There is a real problem and a real danger to be discussed and dealt with, primarily in Japan. I'm not discounting that. It's the chicken little syndrome and our government is lying that I'm questioning.

25. Perhaps we can have a forum for the concerned 'center' |
|
One of the few times recently, I feel comfortable not to be on either extreme. But, yes, it seems some posters are unable to equate any attitude between total denial and imminent Apocalypse.

20. What I see is a bunch of fear mongering |
|
And for someone who is apparently so evolved as to be able to judge the humanity of others, perhaps the eye roll is a bit immature.

29. Perhaps your mischaracterization of adversaries here as 'The End is Near! Repent!' hysterics |
|
is what's immature. (But then I'm older than most here, so a lot of what gets posted seems immature.)

Questioning the motives of individuals while allowing big business to run right the fuck over everybody in pursuit of today's profit is worthy of an unrec.

It was worthy of an unrec for many reasons.
What you did do was to make fun of people who have every right to be worried sick.

Seems to me you are sitting here wasting your time posting threads about people you so vehemently disagee with that all you can do is sit here like Rush Limbaugh and make fun of people.
To a person like me that seems to be a bigger waste of time than people who are worried about what is going on in Japan and trying to warn people to be prepared.. just in case.
And now I'm wasting my time responding to useless threads. Hey cool you have made an entire thread of time wasters. Congratulations.

No, I wouldn't be on Democratic Underground, that's for damn sure.
