My god, it's a blessed mess over in GD
I go there now and then to see what the "serious" folks are talking about, only to realize that the Lounge makes so much more sense. ~sigh~

1. GD is the pit of hell.
But I can't stay out of it.

15. They'd make us stay away from all our old friends.
We'd end up in a 28 day program.

6. At the moment?
Cashiers saying "have a blessed day." About 200 posts worth. Fascinating read. :eyes:

16. Is that the same one as the Muslim Cashiers ringing up pork products?

I just steer really clear of those.

19. I was following that one earlier.
Unbelievable how a perfectly innocuous OP can turn people into Pit-bulls.

I'll have to take a walk back into that land mine field and see how much it has percolated since this morning.

24. Noo, that one's in the Lounge.
Though it's pretty much the level of your standard GD flamewar.

25. It was in GD too
And of course GD had to bring it's own brand of looniness to it. :hide:

27. Are they finished discussing ...
trans-sexual Navy veterans wearing pink tiaras during congressional hearings?

Maybe it's safe to return to GD.

Have a blessed discussion.

:)

7. Whether wishing someone a "blessed day"
is "just being nice" or "pushing fundie beliefs"

8. they have gotten particularly snarky at times
Does anyone have a guess about the percentage or numbers of trolls or lurking freepers that try to start fights over there. I personally love the GD :) , I just need many small breaks throughout the day.

22. LOL! Well, have fun with "confession and penance"
:evilgrin:

sounds like fun. :thumbsup:

One time when I was 9 mos pregnant with ShineBoy, I went to a Halloween party dressed as a nun. MrShine went as a priest.

I was "Sister Chastity" and he was "Father Fertility" :rofl: Pretty funny and quite irreverant. Perfect for us! :D
