Um, what's wrong with GD lately?

I go to college, stop posting, and you would know they are all at each other's throats. I think it's like the butterfly effect, where you let one rip and a butterfly smells it in Australia. Or is it that the butterfly lets one rip?

Well, most of it is radicals becoming more radical. Not that I have a problem with radicals, I happen to be one, I just keep my piehole shut. Also, with so many of the juries I have served on, the problem seemed to stem from simple miscommunication. This might belong in H&M-d, but I think the lounge may be a free zone. Hope college is treating you well.

I thought people would relax once we had our presidential candidate, but alas, things are just getting worse. I personally think alot of trolls have invaded DU.

If you want a real snake pit experience head on over to H&Meta - Not too much help but a lot of Meta.

It would seem to be the hang out for angry post modernists with a lot of free floating anxiety and angst. It's actually like watching General Hospital, All My Children, As The World Turns and Dallas all at the same time, with Rush and O'Reilly on the radio in the background. Oh and Alex Jones and B*rtc*p up on your browser.
