I have no problem with disagreement

[Zomby Woof]

Hell, DU wouldn't be as fun without crossing streams of piss from time to time... honest disagreement can be the most enriching and enlightening experience in conversation, if done right. We can learn and grow and all that happy horseshit.

But goddammit, what I do have a problem with is the lack of reading comprehension skills, critical thinking faculties, and just the widespread willingness to believe common BULLSHIT - that pisses me off to no end. I am not going to blame television or the public schools for this problem. I will blame your fucking stupidity, the obvious reason of reasons.

And for fuck's sake, if you don't know something, LOOK IT THE FUCK UP.

This rant is not aimed at any of you in particular. Or maybe it is.

5. I don't pollute my fucking HD with that site

But a casual stroll through GD reveals that TOO MANY DUers do, with breathless thread titles to share about it.

But as much as that irritates me, it has nothing to do with my post. Score one for my rant.

4. Which common bullshit, in specific?

There's just so much to keep track of...

[Zomby Woof]

6. hence

The reason it's so... common.

7. I'm sensing a lot of anger this evening

I hope that's not a RW talking point.

But, in all seriousness, I've almost given up on GD. Remember, though, it gets better after summer vacation, when the kids go back to school.

8. LOL

Ah, a sense of humor and a shot of truth to save the evening.

You ain't bullshittin'. ;-)

9. Jerk!

I'm offended!

What were you saying?

[Susang]

10. I think everyone will agree that you have no problems with disagreement

Though I wish I could join you in the whole "crossing streams of piss" thing, but you know....physiology and all. ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

13. you can do it!

Besides, you are much too classy to engage in lowbrow behavior. ;-)

14. I'm tempted to do a Zombysearch

to see what set you off this time. :evilgrin:

But maybe not. If I let you say this:

Then I can sit back and be cool, gracious, and tolerant while you do the telling. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Oops...except I think I just outed myself there. ;-)

I don't know why I'm even here at DU on some days; I'm just not good at politics. In addition to the above, I can't stomach the spin, no matter which side it's on or what cause it's in the name of. I just want to tell it, and hear it, like it is.

17. I think you're great at politics

you don't repeat the same crap over and over and pretend that just because you fear it, it's true...you question.

Nobody has a problem with people questioning...it's not like you show up to tear down anything..you debate.

18. Thanks, NSMA.

Coming from one of my favorite strong, clear-speaking DU'ers...

I'll hang out a bit longer!

:hi:

[matcom]

15. YES YOU DO! I disagree

:D

16. Were the antagonists who like to pretend they are too liberal

to damage their high ideals with Kerry at you again?
