Is it just me?

[Midlodemocrat]

Or have the reading comprehension levels in GD-P plummeted into the basement?

Holy Cripes.

[MrCoffee]

1. Thanks for your concern.

[Midlodemocrat]

3. *smooch* for you little Mr. Tea and Cocoa lover.

MrCoffee? What. A. Joke.

[AlCzervik]

2. nice observation Madame Speaker.

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

4. Thank you Pol Pot.

:patriot:

[ghostsofgiants]

5. It's just you.

There's never been any sort of reading comprehension over there.

6. I thought they already were at kidnergarten levels

Hmph. More proof that NCLB is not working....;-)

7. I let my mom read through the garbage and let me know

if there is anything worthwhile.

Save yourself some aggravation :D

8. Their idea of subtlety is a post-it note slapped in front of a jackhammer piling through your face

9. GD:Pfffth!

:P

[Dr. Strange]

10. Locking.

Please do not call out other Forums. The GD-P is well aware of their reading inadequacies and have started a 12-step program to deal with it. You attention-focusing thread does nothing to help them.

Thank you.

26. First they have to admit that they have a problem.

I don't see it happening. ;)

11. What is there to fight about?

This is crunch time. In theory, we should be pretty united, at this point in time.

Clinton's penis is trying to hurt Obama!

[Tektonik]

13. CLENIS FOR PALIN!

[TZ]

20. ...

Clenis eh? I want a vote on it!
Sorry..now I'm doing multiforum snark.....:silly:

[PVnRT]

22. How dare you not hold a vote about holding a vote

Why do you hate democracy, freedom, and baby Jesus?

[tigereye]

14. some folks there have great skills -

others, perhaps not so much... this is new? :rofl:



What always bothered me was folks difficulties in incorporating new information or other viewpoints into their current world-views.


:think:

[Midlodemocrat]

15. The other thing is just because you don't agree with someone

you don't have to be an asshole about it.

[tigereye]

16. exactly - that made moderating GDP a boatload of fun

:eyes:


seems to me folks used to actually think about what others said instead of getting all pissy about it... (although I've probably been guilty of same a few times)

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Oh, so have I. But, usually only when I think

someone is either being an asshole just to be an asshole, or a troll.

[Lyric]

18. I usually like to think that Democrats are "the smart ones"

who are far less likely to hold insane grudges, to have hypocritical double-standards, or to generally act like ham-fisted assholes.

Then I read GD-P, and I'm not quite as confident in that assessment. Apparently we have our share of reactionary hate-fanatics too.

[sasquatch]

19. Its you

:P

[cwydro]

21. I've noticed that.

I think there are lot who just fire off a reply before even reading things fully (assuming they are capable).

[Forkboy]

23. Doesn't that assume the comprehension levels were out of the basement at one time?

:)

[harmonicon]

24. it's not just you

I wonder who the hell these people are. How is it that people are able to access an English language website and actually post things when they have such a poor grasp of the language? How can they even operate a computer?

25. "RTFL"

In the spirit of RTFM, I'm going to start using the above reply in the GDs. It's scary how many people write knee jerk responses without bothering to look at the link first.
