In the spirit of festivus, here's all the ways DUers have dissapointed me in the last year....

[HEyHEY]

1; To begin, the acrimony and hatred of each other has been quite a downer during the primaries. It seemed that even though people were on the same team they were all beating the crap out of each other in the locker room.

2; The decision by many to accept turning their backs on gay and lesbian people. It has always been a major issue here, thus thrusting DU further to the right. Lately, it's even worse with people asking we accept some prick's invitation to legitamize his hatred by offering him a pearl of a public appearence.

3; When trying to talk about a major political crisis in Canada, some people gave me shit for "wasting bandwidth." Thus enforcing the stereotype of the ugly (And ignorant) American.

4; It seems it's still okay to kick around the mentally ill on DU. People make comments like "Are you off your meds."

5; People here don't seem to give a shit about the homeless the way they should. But considering numer 4 it makes sense.


That's it... now time for the feats of strength.

1. I agree with all your points.

I can't believe how many DU'ers sound like Freepers when it comes to Canadian issues. I'm an American, but I follow Canadian news regularly.

[UTUSN]

2. No such list is complete without the filthy flamers in general

The immature cowards who attack in packs, who have a next-to-nothing concept of free thinking, who demand lockstep for their own #1 issue, who are our own version of LIMBOsevic's Dittoheads and use the same propaganda techniques of junior high school ridicule and petty thugism. They also spend more time and energy attacking other DUers and Dems than they do wingnuts.

3. It should probably be noted that the cast of characters ...

... flinging the ugliest shit during the primaries is largely the same as the cast of characters flinging the ugliest shit during Warren-gate.

:shrug:

4. I would add their ambivilence toward constitutional issues, ignorance and

acrimony toward unions, and the cult of personality displayed here toward a public servant. I expected better. My expectations fell way short.

5. Good kvetching. Didn't actually yet read it. I'm too psyched about the arm-wresting now. nt

[stillcool]

6. never mind..

[HEyHEY]

7. You want Christmas, that's down the hall.

This is festivus, so bite me!

[stillcool]

8. ......................

9. Like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys sez . . .

The holidays are about getting drunk and stoned with the ones you love.

Ricky got that one right. Now if he could only learn how to correctly pronounce jalapenos.

10. Okay, here are mine.

1. Skinner never names his children after me. Speaks for itself.

2. Freaker trolls are never here long enough to satisfy the full round complement of my sadistic need. :shrug:

3. There is no wine bar in GD: Pugilists and the towel hamper is always overflowing. This place is going straight to hell.

4. I hate people telling each other what to do, over and over again, with not empathy at all. Just stop it, stop it, STOP IT!

5. People insist on using the word "hater" as if it meant anything after May 18, 2008, 4:37 p.m., the moment the last drop of significance was squeezed out of the word. We need a new frickin' word that still means something, like "fanny-pack" or "colander" or "ladybug".

6. I hate that I care what you people think, you bastards. Stop imposing your goddamn demanding community on my beautiful mind. :grr:

7. I'm right FAR more often than I get credit for around here, roughly 2.66 times a day. But, oh, you have to pour over my daily 500 posts to find the WRONG ones just to f#ck me up. That's not fair, progressive, Democratic or American and it stinks, too. You NEVER see the upside, never. :mad:

[pacalo]

12. Hahaaa! Your beautiful mind made me laugh out loud!

Merry Christmas, sfexpat! And a well-deserved happy new year!

[EFerrari]

14. Merry Christmas!

:hi:

[populistdriven]

17. the troll invasion has definitely slowed down

[roguevalley]

20. hater. I hate that word. Arguments that sound like seventh grade. That bothers

me too.

[Morning Dew]

11. you didn't show us your pole.

how will we know it's really a Festivus thread?

[EFerrari]

15. . . .

[Brazenly Liberal]

18. Hey!
