I'm New Here, And People Here Seem To Hate Opposing Views
It's like they want to hear one big chorus. I will continue speaking my mind like I see it. Call me what ever you want. report me to the board owner. I don't care. These are thesame folks who call Bush a fascist and dictator yet you cannot stand views you disagree with.

2. You are wrong.
We don't hate opposing views. I'm reporting you to the Moderator for even suggesting such a thing.

4. Or you hate opposing views
People don't agree with you? That's them opposing your views. You're in the minority here. Get used to it or don't post.

5. DU 101
People in General Discussion are usually pretty uptight, at least the regulars. Lately, I stick to the Lounge b/c it's just a better vibe here. Ive grown weary of reading 1,000 threads about Black Box Voting and the now infamous "what direction should the party go in now" threads followed by the usual back biting. No thanks. I need a looooooooooooooooong break from that.

11. Especially right now, for obvious reasons
Edited on Sat Nov-13-04 06:19 AM by End of all Hope
I like to check there every so often, just to see, but I never last more than ten minutes. It's very hard to post and not wind up getting flamed by somebody.


By the way, I like your Hobby. They would do no less to us, you know.

6. well
The fact that people may disagree with you is all the more reason to post your thoughts...people may disagree, but if it's presented in a logical manner, they'll have to at least see where you're coming from (we aren't republicans for asda's sake!!)

7. Republitards......
....have all kinds of places to hear "your" side of the story.... UMMMMM, this just happens to be our place.

I can tell you this.... you will be able to express yourself a hell of a LOT more here, than if say, I were to call up Rush.... I wouldnt even make it past the call screeners. They ONLY let the weakest liberals/democrats make it onto his show.

8. The difference is Bush has a little more power than any of us
Most people here can do you more harm than disagreeing with you. Hardly fascists and dictators.
