Am I the only one that gets depressed by LBN?

[chenGOD]

Seriously I go to that forum and can only spend about 5 minutes in there before I get too depressed by what the fuck is going on in the world.

Then I come to the Lounge for clever banter and witty repartees.

2. clever banter and witty repartees

What is this "clever banter and witty repartees" of which you speak? I must be missing all the good threads. ;)

Anyway, yeah, LBN is pretty depressing. I feel that way about most news these days, though. I dropped my subscription to Time last night, and I haven't really watched cable news since the election.

Maybe a break from the news every now and then does one good.

5. re: the banter and repartee....

Sorry i must have been huffing glue when I posted that. I really come here for the sight gags and fart jokes.

3. Sure

but just seeing/hearing the words "President Bush" in a news item depresses me.

4. depressed

I get thoroughly depressed too. two nights ago I spent a long time in the discussions and cried until like three in the morning.

7. I expect LBN to be a house of horrors

for the next four years, or longer.

I just try to stay as emotionally detached as possible.

8. many of us feel the same

i suspect. i have to force myself, & that because i feel the need to constantly taste the wind.

even GD is a heart-wrenching chore...

9. LBN is tough to take

GD is a pit of vipers these days. I can only take it for a couple of minutes before I run back here with my tail between my legs. They're eating their young over there and there's no way of stopping them!

(God, I am such a word geek - I got a kick out of the fact that I used all three variations of "there", "they're" and "their" in that sentence. Pathetic!)
