4. What does kicking it mean? What is the purpose of it?

8. "Kick" is the DU equivalent of "bump"--a post just to keep a thread
near the top of the list so people will see it, so it won't fade away.

"Kick" because of the jackass symbol of the Democratic Party.
:kick:

6. It's easy to see how the Third Reich
was able to take control of Germany after hearing what the Freeps have to say about these atrocities. They are no better than Nazi thugs.

Sickening.

10. It's scary
to see the amount of people who think the torture is overplayed in media.

Btw, why is it called "abuse" in USA and "torture" everywhere else? I'm willing to bet a years income that american media would have called it torture if it had been American citizens who had been treated this way by any other country.
