And I haven't looked back since. :smoke:

[arcane1]

I found the Top 10 Idiots from some other site, I don't even remember what site it was because I've never gone back :)

[BBradley]

5. My mom told me about it

Go mom

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

6. nope!

I came here Oct. 2001, it hadn't been in the media yet too much. Honestly, I do not remember how I came upon this site!

[HEyHEY]

7. I had just spazzes out on Free republic

Because they were knocking Canada.I got banned and had terrible thoughts about americans....then I thought "there must be an alternative" SO I type "Left wing USA discussion boards" on google and it came up.

9. I heard about it from a freeper.

[HEyHEY]

11. So you hate Wiccans, gays and anyone who is not a Roy Black

xian? :shrug:

[arcane1]

13. I still haven't quite figured out..

WTF is going on with that sig...

oh well, if God really loves me, there's no way he would ever catch me on fire :)

[blondeatlast]

15. It's okay to use Xian, as long as you capitalize it, please.

You capitalized Wiccan, as you should, so I hope you would show Christians or Xians the same respect.

X is the Greek symbol for Christ, so completely okay to use.

Edit: now :wtf: is it with that sig?

[HEyHEY]

18. You know something about that sig

If being a nice person ain't enough to get you into heaven. And if god is that judgemental....... I'd rather chill with Satan in the firepit. We'll rent some movies and ahave a few beers. ANd talk about all the suckers that went to heaven.

12. I googled 'liberal/left chat rooms' and DU appeared

I came here and at first glance I thought it was not left enough...and I thought certain people were infiltrators...I will not tell you who...but I got booted on my first visit. I moved got another phone and came back...and have behaved ever since!!

I did not give enough time to peruse...I just dove in and got down and dirty...BIG MISTAKE!!!

[blondeatlast]

14. Nope. I Googled Democratic forums, excluding the DNC and DLC.

Damn if Google didn't find me a li'l slice o'heaven!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Googled for "commie pinko dirtbag"

And got Auntie Pinko. The rest is history.

17. incidentally i found DU while searching for a news article:

"why do they hate us?" or something to that effect from the Christian Science Monitor (published soon after 9/11). i blundered upon a top ten conservative idiots page and found it absolutely hilarious (and true heh)...about a month later i wandered into the forums..

19. Mike Malloy

He kept mentioning that DU had a better messageboard than his own site on his radio show so...

Of course, I lurked here since October until I was sure the place wasn't going to end up ruined by freepers shouting everybody down.

[HEyHEY]

20. Glad you began posting ming welcome!

21. I was surfing the net for George W. you-can-guess-who jokes.

Shortly after the inauguration. Found Top 10 Conservative Idiots. Though waited until October of 2001 to register and start posting. What control on my part.
