I mean..like I'm sorry I made fun of people who love a show that's rigged?

1. Apparently so
I thought it would have been easier just to IM both of them rather than make a big fat hairy deal out of it, but that's just me.

7. Yes I did. My tone was over the top. It generated a flamewar.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 05:59 PM by DistressedAmerican
My apology was an attempt to calm the waters I had stirred up. Nothing makes me want to leave DU like the constant flamefests. I try not to participate in them. I certainly do not want to be the cause of one.

I do not like the show. Especially the fact that it gets reported on as news. However, I think I'll refrain from criticizing pop culture in future.

I had no idea people felt so strongly about it. On the other hand, maybe they do not and were just responding to my innapproproiate tone...

12. Might I Suggest You Rephrase It Something Like This...
Why the fuck would someone NOT support the greens? Get a clue people!

It really is all in the tone! (I'm kidding here folks. Don't bother to flame me. I have found it good to be clear about these things.)

I usaually avoid such things but, I hate how that show has taken over this country just like the repug dicks have. I suspect both are symptoms of the same national psychosis.

No offense to those of you that like it! By all means keep watching.
