Why do you people go to GD/GDP even though we warn you it's a shitstorm over there
It's like telling you to not stick your finger in the damn outlet and you do it anyways because god forbid I might be fooling you about that electricity shock thingie!

24. If I wanted to stick my finger in the outlet I'd consider your warning first.
My curiosity may get the better of me however.

48. You're lawyer-ist if you support either of them over Edwards
But maybe Kucinich or Richardson would be OK? Nah, probably not. You're bound to be wrong regardless.

42.  When I first started posting in the GD and GDP....
I noticed a strange high, similar to the kind I'd get when playing slot machines. Kept looking back to see who said what and how many posts I had and the position of the threat...now if that ain't nuts, what is? Stuart G....:hi: :hi:

47. It's like a sign saying "Wet Paint"
Some of us just have to tentatively poke it with a finger to be sure the sign is truthful. Chalk it up to hominid curiosity.

Now if you spend more than one or two minutes in there, then you wind up with a serious mess you'll need turpentine to remove.
