It's mass hysteria in here. Someone could get hurt. The police are on their way in riot gear, armed with tear gas. Run, everybody! Run!

10. Many of the posters who have gone totally over the top about this...
wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the butt.

7. Oh, please. If it's too much for you, you could always read a book or go for a walk.
Geeze, it's an internet discussion board. Don't shut everyone else up because you don't like the feelings you're having.

29. Jeez, maybe it's some of you who need to go for a walk,...
read a book, or drink a beer, as a poster below suggested. (I'll have another glass of wine, thank you!) The "discussion" has ceased. It's descended into a very vulgar hell.

32. Doubtful, so long as she's a Democratic candidate ...
but her candidacy may be shorter than she expects.

36. I've posted on DU for years. You will find that the roads traveled
here are High, medium and low. Some posts are uplifting, some informative, some funny, some stupid and some disgusting. This is a adult board. No one has to login. All who have d done so did it voluntary. I don't think it's a good idea for the Mods to have mute every post that many don't like.
