DU is the Universal Headquarters for The Stupid today

[alcibiades_mystery]

And I do mean the whole universe.

What a farce this board is on this day.

[Mika]

1. Welcome to it.

:toast:

5. I've barely been around at all since the election

One, because the election spent me, and I have other shit to do with my life, unlike some people here, and, second, because you can't turn off the blah blah blah button that fast, so it was inevitable that many here would just transfer their issues on to the new admin as if nothing had happened at all, and that's just embarrassing. So I come back today, and see this stupid shit. I think I'll take another month hiatus, and maybe the Stupid will have wormn off a bit.

2. Which side is stupid, the ones who are apologists for bigots, or the ones who fight them? n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Ahhh, The Stupid

...

[Solon]

19. So I guess this is the second time today that gay people are called stupid in an OP...

a Twofer!

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Huh?

What the fuck are you even talking about?

[EFerrari]

3. We weren't complete until now!

:toast:

4. Care to elaborate? n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Nope

11. Okey-diddly-dokey.

[elocs]

9. Agreed and a Rec. DU has to obsess over something.

Just as it once was Palin now it is Warren, Warren, Warren.

[boppers]

10. Caroline Kennedy

:evilgrin:

[Kber]

12. It's not that I don't agree with the sentiment of many posters today

it just seems kinda like self important grandstanding for us each to feel it necessary to start our own threads. (And just to be clear, I'm NOT refering to the OP).

Surely there are other things going on in the world of Presidential Politics.

17. Remember that John Lovitz bit, "ACTING!"

Why bother with things like a tanking economy, Putin doing his best Stalin imitation, the British announcing their withdrawal from Iraq, etc?

No, what REALLY matters is getting all theatrical about whether some preacher from California gives a 30 second milquetoast prayer at the inauguration.

[JimGinPA]

13. Today?

Where have you been?


B-)

[SoxFan]

14. YOU HATE GAYS! YOU HATE WOMEN! FUCK YOU!!!

:sarcasm:

[IndianaJones]

16. why the sarcasm? nt.

[GarbagemanLB]

15. I AM DONE WITH OBAMA BECAUSE OF A SINGLE PRAYER! DONE!!!!!

[Bjorn Against]

18. Yep, those who dismiss homophobia are pretty stupid.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. What is going on?

I take it's because of that Warren guy. Never heard of him.

[Clio the Leo]

21. Grab you some popcorn and come sit next to me.....

.... this too, shall pass.

23. I added to it. It must be the lack of sun.......

Sorry fellow DU'ers, I have no one and nothing to blame it on but me!!

24. The Right doesn't have a monopoly of black-white, totalitarian thinking.

Because DU is showing such thinking for all the world to see. It is such kinds of black-and-white attitudes (like comparing homophobes to Hitler and saying anyone who does not agree with you is just like Hitler) that lead to single-party totalitarian states, where people that don't agree with the One True Ideology line for line get shot or "re-educated".

25. Nor do they have a monopoly on glassy-eyed hero worship. n/t

[Hansel]

26. Nor a monopoly on dichotomous thinking. n/t

27. Sha-zaam! Good one! n/t
