Attention all citizens of the Sovereign State of DU Lounge: Time to make our Bill of Rights
Now that we've defined leadership rolls and contemplated our national anthem, I think it's time to put together the DU Lounge Bill of Rights

What will be the DU Truths to be self-evident in the sovereign land of DU Lounge

1. Self-evident truth: DUers have the right to free speech.
No DUer shall be banned because of their speech. Unless they post something really stupid. I mean really, really stupid. Then the fuckers are pizza!

7. Shouldn't we get our militia together, first?
I mean, obviously we all need to be armed to the teeth.

I propose that by the arrival of your 6th birthday, you have the right to concealed carry.

Shit, drive a tank for all I care.

Guns, guns, guns!!!

Thank you,

C. Heston

16. We have the right to post copycats
We have the right to post endless kitten pics.
We have the right to engage in flamewars over irrelevant topics.
We have the right to post sex threads and naughty innuendos.
No mod will delete a post without due process and just cause.
No GD'er shall call out a Lounger without being pelted with posts condemning their behavior, complete with gratuitous inside references that they'll never understand.
We have the right to bounce 'em on Fridays (or any other day we feel like it).
We have the right to post while impaired beyond reason.
We have the right to extend these rights.
Robb is still a dingbat.

21. ....
In order to form a well-regulated militia, Loungers will have the right to keep and bear flamebait for the express and implied purpose of aggravating GD. This shall include, but shall not be limited to: breastfeeding implements, cigarettes, tasers, guns, cellphones, Circuit City receipts, and feminine hygiene products.

31. If the lounge is now a sovereign nation
Does that mean we can declare war on GD?

Not that I'm advocating such a thing, I just want to see how things are.
