GD is hella depressing right now.
I don't have a cogent opinion on the Cynthia McKinney case and don't know enough to form an opinion about illegal immigration (except that a lot of poor folks are suffering). Someone equated being a Republican with pedophilia. I ask for proof and I'm told to "google"...alrighty then.

It seems like people are awfully willing to form an unbending opinion when they don't have enough facts. I feel I don't have enough facts on these and other issues and would like to reserve my opinion. Meanwhile, people are having flamewars.

It just depresses me, okay?

:(

5. Same here
if people would actually debate, rather than scream obscenities and call each other racist, or morons, or freepers, or what have you, GD might be a nice place to discuss stuff. But it's not for me :shrug: I guess I'm just a face-to-face person when it comes to argument in the formal sense

6. I'll tell you one thing...
It's damn refreshing to see someone use the word "cogent." And, furthermore, to do so correctly.

Does that cheer you up? I hope it does.

30. Reminded me of my favorite Ellison Quote
"All fluff and giggles, with a mind wherein a cogent sentence would find itself in coventry."

Non-sequitur. That's my style. What can I say...

8. Tonight, I'm not feeling good vibes anywhere anymore.
:( Sorry you had a tough time of it there. I got hooked up on the "holocaust experiment" thread a few days ago and have feared going back. :hi:

10. Try the religion and theology forum
It'd make GD seem like a god send. Note can I recieve an electrical jolt from my computer when I click on both the GD and R&T forums. Maybe it'll keep me off of them for awhile.

I feel pretty good. I got a LOT of cleaning done yesterday and today - I can see the floor again! And, I got a brand-new bed today, with a fabulous latex mattress. I anticipate a good night's sleep. :)

21. LOL! Good point.
I think you and I would probably be on opposite sides of an argument in there, but I would HOPE the argument would stay congenial. I'd try. I guess hoping for GD and Religion / Theology to be nice places to debate would be like hoping to build a snowman in the Sahara Desert. Or something.

28. Lol When I was at the Az airport I seen an Arizona Snowman
It was a glass globe with some water followed by three small plastic buttons, a carrot and a top hat. The buttons, top hat, and carrot were floatting in the water. Well I thought it was funny.

19. No thank you. :D
That's all I need is to have my religious buttons pushed. :) Hehe. I'm pretty tender in that area, still, and it comes out wrong a lot of the time. I try to keep from being a shithead, but the pain fundamentalism caused me is sometimes redirected at the religious. Sometimes they deserve it; sometimes they don't. It's confusing. I sometimes feel I should let lifelong atheists make my case because I was too wounded by being raised in a fundy bubble.

My mother has been taking Spanish classes. I think her fundy church plans on assaulting Mexico or Costa Rica sometime in the near future. (I have reasons to fear for those two countries, specifically.) There's no other explanation for her sudden interest in learning. She abhors knowledge for the sake of knowledge. :(

I hope I'm not dragging Religion / Theology into the lounge, but I have a lot of trouble with fundy missionaries. My mind was came up with the phrase "lowest form of life" when contemplating them earlier. That's pretty bad. :( My mother's religion fucked up her only two kids and now she's going to foist it on some poor, unsuspecting Spanish-speaking people. It just pisses me off. :(

23.  I agree with you
and btw you have never offended me like some of other. Anyhow cheer up your a good person and things will work out for you . I think and I hope both forums (GD and R&T) will die down in hostility after Easter.

Get some anger out. HAHA. Sonetimes I'll take the oppisote stance strictly for arguments sake. People take some things waaaaaaaay to seriously.

43. soar high above
soar high above ladyhawk,
the depressing news dies every now,
injustice makes us all balk,
the GD turn of the page should allow.

Elevevated dreams and be shot,
assault disruptive truth, a hostile cultural vow,
Name peaceful times, and be forgot,
its the fact of life, no matter how.

The public wants a war right now
we're bored with the affairs of tiresome bushian state,
perhaps if they blow up a cow,
with 700 tonnes of dynamite, people will relate.
Soar high above, luminous luxury,
flight filled with love, so effortlessly.

45. Hmmm, I wonder if I get terminally annoyed with GD at the same time
every month?

Maybe I should start staying out of GD about four pills away from the green ones. What do you think? :P As soon as the green ones are gone, I can venture back in. Cautiously.

:D
