Every DU'er should be required to spend 1 week in the Lounge every month. |
|
I think it would help to keep people sane, and remember that they're actually talking to real people on here, not just computer-displayed text.

I'm told I can be....uh...difficult...pigheaded...unreasonable...etc. And that is usually before my feet hit the floor in the morning, I can't imagine what others say (well I can but I am going to pretend ignorance:) )

7. I've had the Lounge hid |

since day of one of being able to hide the Lounge because there tends to be more nonsense than I care to partake in.

You see, in GD, someone, somehow, will find a way to turn this thread into proof that I hate Hillary Clinton AND all the Jewish people.

20. There is nothing wrong with keeping personal life separate from public life. |

If I compared GD with the Lounge, I'd say they are EQUALLY IN/SANE.
:rofl:
I've posted in the lounge a few times: personal stuff. I appreciated the support, understanding, advice, warmth.
GD is about something other than me.
The detachment is,...necessary IMHO.

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

if you start your own thread, they ignore you if you aren't part of one of the cliques. Or they ignore your replies because mostly they are having a love fest with someone else they have known for five years or whatever. At least in GD if you call someone a dumbass, they seem to care. }(
