I see a lot of posters in the Lounge that I never see in the other forums

[CatWoman]

why is that?

Do you ever venture out?

[name not needed]

1. Yes

but there's mean people in the other forums. At least in here everyone is drunk and nice. :D

[CatWoman]

2. Ah, the great Hezbollah in the flesh

they are not mean, just passionate.

[JohnKleeb]

18. for the last time

I am not an alcoholic :), I may be Irish-German and the country next door to the biggest beer consumer in the world but I am not an alcoholic. Havent drank in a good 3 weeks.

[JVS]

3. It's nicer here

[Susang]

4. Why?

Is there an abortion thread that needs tending? }(

[buycitgo]

38. susan! love that blog

'fashionable Humboldt Park'

??

funny girl, that

been to the botanical gardens?

see the glass sculptures?

[Susang]

46. Thank you!

Though I haven't been writing for it as much as I should be.

I have not been to the botanical gardens this year, though I would like to. I don't really get out of the city that much these days. Did you mean the Garfield Conservatory Glass Chiluly sculpture exhibit that ran last year?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. No, it is too scary out there for opinionated people like me

My cyber self tends to get into more fights than my old drunken/drugged self did.
Go figure.

[Placebo]

8. HA!

I hear that, I am so opinionated I have to stay quasi-caged or else I'll say something wrong and have to fight back against the mob all by my lonesome.

[bobthedrummer]

22. I can relate to that too

at least lately...

[gmoney]

6. We're all Freepers

and infiltrators, boosting our posting scores with threads about cats and childhood memories and song lyrics and polls.

Or did I just let the cat out of the bag?

[CatWoman]

7. meow

:D

[mitchtv]

9. a few lounge lizards too

!

[davsand]

10. Hey--WHO you calling a Lounge Lizard?

You wanna fight about that? :evilgrin:

That was just so nobody forgets it is STILL DU--a place of opinions!

[EstimatedProphet]

11. Occasionally I leave

but it's more fun here, because you can talk about how you're drinking way more than usual, and everyone else is still drinking more that you are.

[Zomby Woof]

12. you need to ACCEPT the FACT

That not everyone is a masochist like you. Fuck, you update us on all the cable news talk shows, so I KNOW you have an unbearable threshhold for pain. Cut the DUers who do not share your fondness for self-torture some slack.


And OJ did it.

[CatWoman]

16. OJ did it????

what did he do this time?

got arrested for slicing up a watermelon?

[Zomby Woof]

33. ugh

I hate watermelon. x(

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. Yes. They're the smart ones.

I, however, am less smart, and can be found often in LBN, GD, GD2004 and the country forums. Alongside ATA where I direct every inane question about the site I can think of.

[shanti]

14. it's the intimidation factor

du has some very bright and eloquent posters. i love to read what they post, but my arguments aren't strong enough to add my input most of the time.

it takes all kinds...

[Droopy]

15. You are very wise

I see people who post in the other forums who really don't have a good handle on what they want to say and they come off sounding foolish. I'm the same as you, although I do venture out of the lounge and throw in my 2 cents every so often. It's usually only when I am sure of what I am talking about.

[JohnKleeb]

17. Its safer in here for them

Ive considered becoming a lounge monkey permantely but I love the fight.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

19. Some people might be coming back for the election?

I am not a freeper but I think there might be a few that are and I don't see old members on here anymore.

[jonnyblitz]

20. they are just here to get laid.

they don't give a rat's ass about politics. :P

[JohnKleeb]

24. now thats not true

Though I wuold like to.

[curse10]

25. like you're one to talk!

:P

[JohnKleeb]

26. haha

[jonnyblitz]

31. gasp

[JohnKleeb]

36. yeah you always draw well I wont go in to it

but I truly to pity you for it.

[bearfan454]

21. I usually stay here

I read LBN too.

[SarahB]

23. I read the other forums.

When I feel like I have something useful to add, I will, but that's not often. I'm not in a very good place right now in regards to my life that I want to debate or get stuck in any flame war, so I post more in here when it's a bit more "relaxed" shall we say. :)

[Baja Margie]

29. I am a refugee

from Baja sites full of red necked, inbred, freon smuggling, off road vehicle racing , neanderthal Kerry haters. I am sore and tired of being cyberbeatup. Plus, I am a newbie here.

I am healing up now, and inbetween painting the house and other chores, I will try to make it over to the other sites.

Meanwhile, any of you Dems out there headed to Baja, give us a buzz and stop by, we need the company !!:kick:

[jukes]

[SarahB]

44. Hey Jonny!!!

[buycitgo]

[NMDemDist2]

40. puff puff

:puffpiece:

[jukes]

37. i peek out now & then

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

41. Rarely. The other forms are usually very scary. nt

[Elidor]

45. We trust you to put the smackown on the Naderites for us

Why should I work when we've got you to do the heavy lifting?
