DU Needs a Singles Meet and Greet Forum

[Demeter]

Is there such a thing, or was there? How can one know if there's a personable DU attendee who might be looking for a running mate? What do you think of this proposal?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. No way.

Sexual intercourse is the tool of the devil.

[Demeter]

2. Memo To Self: Scratch Philboy off Potentials List

[LeftyFingerPop]

[Skittles]

[Cabcere]

31. Heh, you said "tool"

[MissMillie]

[Demeter]

4. Sinking Like a Stone Here

[supernova]

6. It's called The Lounge

:P

:D

;-)

[LeftyMom]

7. I thought that was what the DU groups were for.

Okay, I didn't really think that, but I still kinda wound up acquiring a boyfriend through use of them.

[DarkTirade]

9. Another one?

Does flvegan know about him? :P

[LeftyMom]

12. Just the one.

I figure we've had enough soap opera crap in the lounge, there certainly won't be coming from me.

[DarkTirade]

14. Speaking of which, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...

I'm pregnant! And flvegan is the father!

Damn those mad scientists and their whacky schemes. :P

[LeftyMom]

17. Is this more of the cloning program thing?

[DarkTirade]

18. No, that was last week.

Keep up with the storylines, will ya? :P

[flvegan]

22. We were going to tell together, I thought.

*pouts*

[DarkTirade]

25. I'm sorry, I just couldn't keep living a lie.

:cry:

[flvegan]

27. And downthread you say you're "single"

Cad.

[DarkTirade]

29. Well you never comitted to anything.

You just gave a 'sample' to the scientists and let them do their mad work with it. And now I'm the one that has to bear the fruit of that union.

[Guava Jelly]

36. HE KNOWS ABOUT US????

:hide: :yoiks:

[flvegan]

8. So...how YOU doin'?

;-)

[SoxFan]

10. Pevs

[DarkTirade]

11. I'm single, but I don't know if I'm emotionally available right now.

Was interested in somebody, but she just moved 300 miles away. :(

[SPKrazy]

23. Well in the future

you surely will be again :hug:

[DarkTirade]

26. This was a rather weird experience for me actually.

I'd become more than a bit jaded over the last few years when it comes to romance and whatnot, then suddenly without warning I met someone who made me feel like a teenager all over again.

[SPKrazy]

28. damn that feeling!!!!

we should all feel that on our own...

I know what you mean friend... :hug:

[DarkTirade]

30. Oh, and did I mention

that she wore a moveon.org t-shirt on one of our dates? How cool is that? :P

[SPKrazy]

34. oh heartache

sheesh that is cool, I'm sorry she moved

maybe you'll hook up again, or find another one.

:hug:

[NightWatcher]

15. if the Singles get one, I demand one for Swingers

[Fox Mulder]

16. Meh.

If I wanted to meet and date someone, I'd just go to the local bars around my area. :shrug:

But if other people want to hook up online, that's cool.

[Boojatta]

19. Do your local bars have smilies like these...?

:beer:
:toast:

[Fox Mulder]

20. I don't dare go to my local bars.

They're full of a certain group of people that I don't want to get associated with (I'm putting that nicely).

But you're right, they don't have those cool smilies. :)

[SPKrazy]

21. An interesting idea...

seriously

:hi:

[struggle4progress]

32. Since I'm afeard what you suggest wud be against th'rules, let me say I'd settle for a Sleaze Forum

[Demeter]

37. Which Rules?

[struggle4progress]

40. Which rules? Uh, th'rules I references when tryin t'create political consensus on th'need for

a sleaze forum

:eyes:

Sheesh! Ye'd think th'place was afilled with political ingenues

[Demeter]

42. Well, You Found One There

I'll meekly try to follow the rule.... :rofl:

[Adams Wulff]

33. Like there's not enough drama around here lately? n/t

[Demeter]

38. Says the Man With Jon Stewart Icon

[asteroid2003QQ47]

41. Too late for me.

"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."
--Kurt Vonnegut

[Demeter]

43. Well, the Whole Society Has Been Disintegrating Since

Vietnam and the assassinations, so it's not surprising.

But where there's life, there's hope...otherwise, why keep living?

[asteroid2003QQ47]

45. American Roots of Nazi Eugenics By Edwin Black

I find it interesting that you begin your disintegration timeline with Viet Nam.
Consider that what some see as "Disintegrating" is viewed as progress by others and that those who died as a result of the American war of aggression in South East Asia share equal status with Uncle Sam's victims in the Middle East, that being, Progress.

"...why keep living?"

I like what philboy had to say on that in another thread--
"But I have the same fears and concerns that you do.
I am passionate about the same things you are.
But I have to tell you...if I didn't ACT insane, I think I would probably BE insane."

With very low expectations, I try to have just enough fun each day to get me through to the next,
some think my idea of fun insane but I like to think I leave others with reason to make the next day too.

...the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed
master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The
idea was created in the United States, and cultivated
in California, decades before Hitler came to power.
<>
The Harriman railroad fortune paid local charities,
such as the New York Bureau of Industries and
Immigration, to seek out Jewish, Italian and other
immigrants in New York and other crowded cities and
subject them to deportation, trumped up confinement or
forced sterilization.

The Rockefeller Foundation helped found the German
eugenics program and even funded the program that
Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.
<>
The superior species the eugenics movement sought was
populated not merely by tall, strong, talented people.
Eugenicists craved blond, blue-eyed Nordic types. This
group alone, they believed, was fit to inherit the
earth. In the process, the movement intended to
subtract emancipated Negroes, immigrant Asian
laborers, Indians, Hispanics, East Europeans, Jews,
dark-haired hill folk, poor people, the infirm and
really anyone classified outside the gentrified
genetic lines drawn up by American raceologists.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

44. Its called the Lounge

Oh wait, that has been moved to the mental health forum, sorry.

[Blue_Tires]

47. that wouldn't get approved

in all seriousness, we could do with a "relationships discussion" forum or something like that...

[LostinVA]

48. It's called the Lounge

Although, my wife and I first noticed each other in GD.

[qb]

49. Tried Democratic Singles?

http://www.democraticsingles.com/

I haven't been there in a while... I'm not sure how much it has caught on. You'll also find lots of liberals at the gay sites, but I guess that depends on what you're looking for :evilgrin:
