Damn folks....did you notice? |

GD is actually...well...fun again :)
We are bashing bush and neocons, reading about Jesus in a potato(Insert an E here for Dan Quayle), we are talking about economic topics, 22 foot snakes, social security, etc.
The other kids are in 2 detention halls, GDP and the Dungeon. I do like to go there and prod em with a stick once in awhile, just for old times' sake - toss out some outrageous claim about a candidate and watch what seems to be a feeding frenzy of demons tormenting the souls of the damned :) (Hillary supports the govt take on 9/11! Obama's sister's best friend's cousin once knew someone who once heard him say he thinks smoking in cars with kids is ok!)
It's like the relatives left and we can all sit back and have a few :rofl:
Sanity, welcome back. Besides, we have better flame wars here anyway :)

10. The anti-Hillary attack posts have shifted to anti-Bill attack posts |
|
it's kind of pissing me off as Clinton was a pretty awesome president and I have the feeling that behind these attacks is a disgusting sheen of hardcore misogyny. Of course, I am a Hillary supporter, but I'd rather discuss tax cuts and big screen tvs. I alert on the threads in question, but I guess the mods are kept pretty busy.

12. Hahaaa! "It's like the relatives left & we can all sit back & have a few." I love it! |
|
I feel the same relief! (Except that they are still hanging out on the greatest page, reducing the real estate to "rv camp" status.)

17. It seems to me that if we are now able to hide GD-P threads |
|
why wouldn't that hide them on the "greatest" page as well? That's the first page I check when I log on; my aim is to see the most relevant threads. It's been reduced to a circus atmosphere, with each candidate's barters hawking for attention.

22. All I ask is that we have a personal choice to hide these threads entirely. |
|
Those who wish to remain competitive in hawking their candidates could still see them on the "greatest" page & loll in the illusion that they have merited a relevant post. I just choose not to see them clutter up what is supposed to be truly worthy of our attention.

of being promoted to the adults' table at family gatherings. The kids' table was fun when you were twelve, and you could snicker at all of those twelve-year-old sort of insults ("You're a poopyhead!" "No, you're a poopyhead!").
But now I can relax with an adult beverage (Diet Coke with a wedge of lime), an adult conversation ("Britney eats at Olive Garden!"), and, from time to time, wander back by the kids' table and laugh.

If one more person asked if I would vote for the dem nominee, even if it was ________, would you? I was going to scream.
I was waiting for the question to be, well, if its raining, and you stub your toe on the way to the polls, and you sneezed last night, and there was a full moon in the last month, and your mother called you last night, then would you vote for ____________?
Drove me crazy
