Proof that DU beats all competition

[Montauk6]

Witness how old standby Usenet (in this case alt.gossip.celebrities) fields a discussion on Sir Paul's angry reaction to losing the Grammy to U2.

Democratic Underground... Setting the standard for provocative discussion on politics or whatever.

2. Even the moderated newsgroups are a joke

Take your pick, they always seem to break down into "you're gay... no, YOU'RE gay... well, you're GAYER..." mentality.

I mean, HERE a discussion of Macca feeling snubbed would stay on topic; even if it veers off into a tangent, it wouldn't get bogged down into a silly Bush debate. (I don't care if you're pro-Bush or anti-Bush, immaturity is universal)

Yahoo! News discussions are the worst; I loathe even some of the lefty posts there. You feel like, hey our side does just fine without your freeper vibe.
