How long do you think most people will post at DU?
Do you think it will change now that the election is over?

I'm just wondering these thoughts tonight.

1. Well, I, for one, still have lots of irrelevant crap to post about.
I'm not gonna run out of that stuff any time soon! :P

8. For me, this is my home.
Only place I post, I like hanging around like-minded people and I have made a few friends here, even though I was offline for a couple of years and didn't get missed when I was gone. That told me I have to work on myself a bit...

10. I've been posting here for 5 years and a week or so
I doubt I'm going to stop any time soon. I'll probably visit the Lounge more often than I have the past few months, though.

People come for the camaraderie and friendship just as much as they do for information and debate, maybe even more.

22. Free Republic, which was created in reaction to Clinton, is still going strong.
I'm not too worried about DU's viability.

I didn't even use political blogs until John Edwards. I blame him! ;-)

32. Take a look at GD P today
As long as everyone can rehash the primaries and attack each other over petty shit, DU will be here for a long, long time.

Thank god, really. I mean, how else could I rick roll hundreds, if not thousands, of people during an election?

:hi:

Oh, I have a question for you: Is everything ok with the person you posted about? The one who drives under the influence? For all my problems, at least I've never been tempted - not even once - to DUI. My youngest sister was friends with the girl who's mother founded MADD. The little girl killed was a twin... walking with her sister. They were just walking their bicycles along the side of the road (there was a very wide bike lane too). The one twin witnessed the other being mowed down by the drunk driver. It was horrible. :-(

43. Nope - grr
He is ok and all, but he just let me know that he got another continuence in court. That means until he feels a little grief for his stupidity he'll probably not change any time soon.

Another part of the shitstorm is that he's been staying upstairs in my home. If he keeps having to bail himself out of jail, I have to keep him up. Sucks. He's my brother and everyone who knows the situation says for me to toss him out on his ear. For some unknown reason I cannot seem to do that.

I still remember a thread asking people why they came to DU. Don't remember the exact wording, but one guy said something like, "I thought I could score, but I stayed anyway."

49. I still have a lot to post...
Robert Gates is giving the president-elect his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President-elect exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President-elect sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President-elect looks up and asks, "Have condolences been sent to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the great people of Brazil?"

So many bibles to burn, so many believers to persecute so little time.

as Obama says in the photo: "I GOT THIS!".
