It seems like just yesterday when I used to come here to get the real story on important issues of the day, and thoughtful analysis from the members here. But lately, the stories posted have been grossly inaccurate and over the top. And every response on a thread is some sort of flippant joke.
What's happened to the DU?!!! I can't take it for one more day!

intelligent people, engaging in interesting and important discussions. However, one may have to spend more time seeking these threads out.

|
Something to consider or search. Truly there are more radicals lately but it is easy to exit out of a post, right? This is such a good site to go to when you need political info. I'll add you H20 as one I will read, maybe not agree but.... that's the point, food for thought and places to search for facts.

7. Flippant responses in 3...2...1.... |
|
Joking (or perhaps not) aside, it certainly does seem that the source standards have declined from somewhat realistic to "anything that makes my point, regardless of source".

13. DU is infiltrated, but it is still stellar for news. It's the commentary - spoilers- there are |

Edited on Wed Apr-01-09 02:00 PM by peacetalksforall
way too many of them. I look for commentary from those who defend their comments and provide good analysis. I try to ignore those who cut and run.

boy you told me! LOL
don't let the door hit you in the ass!
people forget it's the internet and as such everyone has an opinion and also as such, follows the trends in society.
so ignorantly funny.
like watching a dog with a sheet over its head trying to find its way out.
:rofl:
On edit: ahhh you got me!! LOL the april fool that I am!! Cheeers!

37. The times, they are a'changin' |
|
This site was created under a set of circumstances that don't exist anymore. The only way things could have remained the same would have been for Bush to be elected to a third term, or at worst Cheney running and getting elected.
It is far easier to be unified when one is the opposition to the status quo because the shared goal is simply change. Under the current dynamic there is an entirely different goal. It is not just about defeating Bush now, it is about figuring out where to go from here.
I think it is natural that some people will want to move on if they aren't interested in the evolution that is taking place. It is certainly not worthwhile to stay and waste time in an effort that holds no interest.

people are tired of all the seriousand need something to lighten their day on occasion. Ignoring the posts you don't like is better than just giving up altogether.
