1. Other

Best source for information. Also, the DUzy's.

[Muttocracy]

2. I learn so much from this website, from funny stories to touching anecdotes to policy minutiae. nt

[JuniperLea]

3. Other: Because DUers don't let anyone spout bullshit...

DUers have a thirst for the truth, and will leave no stone unturned until they find it. When you say something, you better be ready to back it up! As it should be.

[liberal N proud]

4. DU is so full of diversity

The information here can for the most part be trusted because of the diligence of the members.

[Starry Messenger]

7. Other.

It's a good mix of news and commentary. I like getting up-to-the-second updates, and I appreciate the perspectives from around the world. It is a unique knowledge base. And there are Du-zys. :D

[sohndrsmith]

26. You forgot good natured lunacy... news, commentary and GNL. : )

I love the fact that you can actually discuss/debate pretty darn near anything as long as you keep it in the right forum... I love that.

Thinking is more fun when done with others.

[baldguy]

8. All of the above.

Plus, we're so modest!

[NOW tense]

9. Because I believe that DU is

the collective consciousness of the progressive movement.

[Mike 03]

10. DU means a lot to me because you all have taught me so many things about myself

that I never knew.

You also helped me figure out who I am, who I want to be, and what I want to stand for.

Those are just a couple of reasons for why I love this place, and all of you.

[walkaway]

11. It's my favorite place to go when I feel like punching my TV

Right now I want to B!t@h slap Chris Matthews and here I am reading posts and taking deep breaths.

[Raine]

12. All of the above

:thumbsup:

[TahitiNut]

14. Other: The Moderators

:shrug:

[tekisui]

15. All of the above.

DU is a newswire, an opinion page, a political debate hall, a tabloid and a community. Attended by fine, intelligent people. I never stop learning here.

[CatholicEdHead]

16. The daily Stock Market Watch threads in LBN

[BuelahWitch]

17. DU is a great source of news

I always cruise LBN in the morning to see what's going on.

19. For someone who graduated when Disco rocked

and the Internet was an intern snagged in a fishing net, it's because D.U. is user friendly, has great graphics, and is a nice cross section of the people.

[Tsiyu]

21. I picked "You taught me something..."

but almost picked "Other."

Explanation: This is truly "Democratic" in the sense that there is immense diversity of members.

Some people here would never talk to each other in real life, if they could see the clothes, vehicle or home the "other" lives in - and that goes for people from every walk of life.

A poor person might not feel confident enough to yack it up with a
wealthier person. Same the other way around.

But the rules here are fair and liberal and encourage everyone to take part as they feel comfortable. The sharing of ideas from thsoe all over the spectrum of this life, from all the different countries, states and states of mind, gives this place life and promotes discovery.



DU LOOOOOVE FEST :loveya:

[Grey]

22. Other, All of the above.

[surrealAmerican]

25. Other.

It's not the best, and doesn't need to be. It's a good source of information, from a broad spectrum of people. No matter what you're thinking, somebody here will agree with you, and somebody else here will vehemently disagree. Many of the posters will even be able to defend their positions.

[Spirochete]

27. Other:Because I'm on it.

28. Other: Badger badger badger
