So DU goes through these phases from time to time?
1. A "gifted and talented" group 2. A "were you cool in school" group 3. Some ridiculous posts about "Shitgate" WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Come on folks, focus!

3. If you only knew what huge problems the "cool in school" group
face in today's world you wouldn't be so flippant.

7. Some people spent more than 10 years
in the sixties.... and therefore do not remember going to high school.

11. It's an exaggeration, nothing more.... but some who spent time
in the sixties under the influence of mind altering substances theoretically could have (in their own minds) spent more than 10 years in that particular decade.

12. The sixties were not just a decade
They were a mental state. Look how long the Grateful Dead stayed in the sixties.

8. I've often called the belief that your fellow citizens are too dumb to..
participate in a democracy "Drinking the Kool Aide". Seductive in its appeal to vanity, it really is the first step to Neo-con-sville. Seems to me this "gifted and talented" Mensa shit is its imbred cousin.
