Something told me I shouldn't have logged on to DU today. I guess my gut was right.

1. You know, in the last couple weeks

I think somewhere, the tide turned. I've seen an awful lot of posters regurgitating the same old crap, spewing the same old hate, and getting a brand new round of smackdown. Not only from our little group here, but from a number of other folks.

on edit: wanted to add an example. Here's a masterpiece by our own livinginphotographs:

Short, sweet, on point and well-delivered.

2. I'm there......

who are these people using Consumer Freedom and Washington Times garbage to support their arguments? Democrats? Liberals?

Heck it's Saturday night, hubby's watching football, so I get to play.

And why was this topic in LBN ? Geesh. Also, noticed OP has almost 100 responses now, and hasn't responded to any of them. I hate when that happens, but we MUST EDUCATE, as it seems PETA's the only org providing us the opportunity....LOL.

I vote that the mods keep Peta out of LBN and move them to politics :)

3. "hasn't responded to any of them"

And quotes CCF and the Washington Times.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

[Catchawave]

5. Exactly, there's some compassion lacking with

our DU friends, and we just need to know what motivates them?

What other progressive groups piss people off as much as animal rights and veg*ans do on DU ?

[LeftyMom]

7. Feminists!

How dare those bitches insist on fairness?

:sarcasm:

[livinginphotographs]

11. Whatever.

You fundie-women lovers. Why do women always insist on converting us from beating our wives and keeping them pregnant and barefoot. After all, my treatment of my wife is my decision! :sarcasm:

[mzteris]

29. homeschooling. n/t

[LeftyMom]

34. ugh, no kidding

Jeez, is there any group on the DU flamewar shitlist I'm not a part of? :yoiks:










Oh, yeah- neocons, republicans, the DLC, all the people we should be resisting when we're wasting time and bandwidth in circular firing squad mode. :banghead:

[LeftyMom]

4. Oh, not again

I don't feel like dealing with it right now. I think I'm just going to eat my lentil loaf and read threads that won't give me a headache.

[Catchawave]

6. LOL...I know what you mean....

don't go there, and enjoy your evening

:hug:

I honestly don't know why PETA topics are allowed in LBN, unless the USDA blows up their building, maybe the mods should move them ...here...:rofl:

[Piperay]

9. UGH

yeah same here. I may look at it later but not right now.

[shockra]

8. Ya'll are so smart, and wonderful and passionate.

I love you guys and gals. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[shockra]

10. You got a mention the other day in the Lounge.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3843244&mesg_id=3843279

Don't even bother reading the rest of the thread. :eyes:

[livinginphotographs]

12. Thanks for the nod.

I was really moved by that quote.

Of course, it had to degenerate into people proving that it isn't true (i.e. "I eat bears" etc.)

[shockra]

13. I guess that's a case of the exception proving the rule.

Hmm...I probably should have posted that.

[JackieO]

14. you guys rock

plain and simple :)

[livinginphotographs]

15. Hold your tongue....

I'm hoping I don't get banned tonight... :)

[JackieO]

16. well, be careful...

remember, there's always a way to say what needs to be said without breaking any rules... ;)

[Catchawave]

17. Have you read that thread......?

LOL....I think we're all going to get banned if we keep responding to that one asshole!

[JackieO]

18. I'm sitting on my hands

cuz I'm just dying to get into it with you know who and not sure I can follow my own advice }(

[livinginphotographs]

19. Well, since my posts keep getting deleted...

I guess I get the hint. :eyes:

[JackieO]

23. it's a rigged game

Racist, homophobic and other types of bigoted comments are against the rules here. But the most disgusting speciesist filth is permitted.

[flvegan]

20. NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY WITH ME!!!!!

I'm feeling terribly ignored in that thread. I have very, very, very few responses to my posts.

C'mon, PETA haters...let's dance!

[shockra]

21. They're all tired.

Too much protein.

[flvegan]

22. But, but, but...they didn't want to play with me earlier.

I must be one of the top-ranking "ignores" on DU. Damn, I'm proud.

[shockra]

25. I don't think you're on that many ignores.

You're just too hard to argue with.

You can be proud of that, too. ;)

[flvegan]

24. Locked!!

I admit, I alerted. I called it a flamefest and not even LBN anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Good points were made by all. No wounds to lick here, I don't think. Maybe a mind was opened...

[Catchawave]

26. Good news !

I was afraid to open DU this morning for fear I'd see that flashing *attention* from the mod :scared:

Glad we all survived :grouphug:

[JackieO]

27. it's back

different thread, same topic

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4358003#4358089

[Beaverhausen]

28. oh god. why did I even look there?

[JackieO]

30. I want to participate in this one but I have to go to work.

I'll have to check back later.

[flvegan]

31. My shock and awe at the same suspects

again. Guilt hurts, I guess.

[Catchawave]

32. My contribution to the "spawn of Chucky"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4358003&mesg_id=4359163

[Beaverhausen]

33. wow! i got myself into a very strange argument with the Penn and Teller...

...libertarian crowd.

not even sure how to respond to them. oh well...I think I'll just let the thread die.
