Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 10:45 PM by uppityperson
If I'd wanted stupid, I'd be in GD-P.

I can't take it. I'm going to go take a bath. my head, my head, my head

1. Dude, you're not alone. Not by a long shot.
Interesting that GD-P is less toxic these days.

8. That's because all the college kids are getting ready to end the year...
They all vacated to term papers and final exams and moving home for the summer. ;)

10. I think it's more that some middle schoolers are on spring break.
Even my two teenagers wouldn't spout that crap.

3. I'm guessing it is the folks defending the FLDS.
It's been a tough couple of days. :hi:

7. Ahh. Thanks. I've stayed away from there
as if it were poison. I live in TX, and knew this would be on the same plane as Terri Schiavo, the death penalty, the Olive Garden!

Gimme the primaries any day! :P

9. I tried. Oh, Lord, I tried.
But as a life long children's advocate, both professionally and personally, I couldn't do it. It shames me that people with whom I share this cyberspace 'home' feel that what happened there is okay.

:hi:

13. Well,
FTR, I don't agree AT ALL that what happened is arguable but I didn't feel like arguing about it. When a 14 year old kid has a baby, by whomever, that's just wrong. What else is wrong? Good for you for your advocacy; you might be educating people.

16. Oh, those threads
I've been avoiding them like the plague. As far as I'm concerned they can round up all those child molesters and hang them. It's Texas, they have a coastline, ergo sailing ships, ergo yardarms. Find the tallest ones and get some rope.

17. Stop it!
It's TX, when the LDS are clearly from Utah? Don't blame TX, I'm a resident, and we didn't start this fire! :mad:

Actually, carry on. I don't care all that much, but credit where due...

20. Yeah. That was about the nastiest.
I like the idea of a hot bath. It's been an exhausting weekend.

And I smartened up. I put the worst one on Ignore. She's a vicious piece of work......

21. Bath is over. Was thinking about this bit of fiction...
Scene: Place 2 people sitting by a computer desk, staring intently into a screen.

Hey! Write this (dictate dictate dictate)
Oh yeah man! That's funny!!!1 That'll get 'em going. My turn!
No no no. I have to write 3 more times, THEN it's your turn. Remember, timing.
Oh yeah. Then I get ta write a couple times?
Yup, start reading and find another thing to be really dense about, maybe time to repeat something.
OK. uh, what's dense?


It was a nice bath.

4. Let me guess: The FLDS thread?
Because the stupid of some of the posters on that was causing me to reach for the ice pack and the ibuprofen.

15. Oh, if only it was just one!
Our roving band of child-rape apologists has hit them all...
I hope they enjoy it while it lasts. The Mods won't all be
tied up with GD/P forever...and some of these shitheads have
really gone beyond the pale with their crap.

The pizza delivery truck has been a bit delayed due to traffic.

37. Most definitely.
The Mods are a bit swamped right now, but I have faith
that they'll eventually work their way through their inboxes.

It just takes time.

14. I have nothing but admiration for you today.
If it were just stupid that would be one thing but it's way, way beyond merely stupid and into freaksville.

I can't believe you are settling for just a bath. I went straight to the liquor cabinet.

You done good. :toast:

By the way this thread is pure flamebait.
I am wondering as to why it's not deleted or at least moved to lounge.
There is absolutely no useful information except someone's head hurt.
Which frankly I could live without knowing.

24. Yet you felt obligated to come comment and post. Yes, my head hurt.
Now I've soaked and it doesn't hurt so much. Thank you for your concern.

23. I trust you will give credit where it's due......
that line was said in the past few days by someone responding to "lizzy" in a FLDS thread.

It was funny then, second time around...not so much.

Peace,

25. Sorry, didn't read it recently but it's a common enough phrase.
Haven't read everything in all those threads, but it's a common enough phrase have seen it elsewhere. So, here is the credit:

Thank you to everyone who has posted that phrase. It sunk into my head and I finally get to use it. Thank you anyone who posted it where I read it.

26. Stupid gets paid to be dumb on Cable News!
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 12:35 AM by quantessd
That's what pisses me off to the core.

I wish I had the right "stupid" to get paid to be on TV. Then I'd say "I want to work in the news room!"

34. Sadly, FLDS threads are not the only place where stupid is.
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 06:44 AM by BerryBush
I've just spent the past day arguing that the people killed on 9/11 weren't really ALL collectively responsible for the misery of the nations from whom the terrorists sprung to kill them.

You know...arguing for the innocence of babies and children on planes. And waiters at the Top of the World restaurant. And, yes, even young people who were going to work in the financial trade business for a few short years before quitting to become teachers. And firefighters. They weren't really all the moral equivalent of some good German architect who sat at his drawing table in 1939 drawing up blueprints for gas chambers. Really.

My head hurts.
