(53,339 posts)There is a lot of good discussion of current issues, and you can always skip or trash the crap.
I trash even threads that I've recommended if I don't need to go back to them, just to clear the clutter from the GD page threads listing.
steve2470
(37,457 posts)FWIW you're one of the nicest people in GD. People could take a page from you.

(53,339 posts)I have to admit that there have been a few moments when I've gone off on somebody--but they deserved it.
We're all in this together, and each of us has enough to struggle with without making someone's day worse.
I truly enjoy other DUers and their contributions, both serious and funny. I may know them only in cyberspace, but they are my community. And they are my friends.

(37,457 posts)I think we can disagree and live together and be kind to each other and helpful. I'm such a HIPPIE. Punch me somebody.

(66,481 posts)I can't believe how insensitive you are to insist that the sky is blue when I've never seen it that way. What kind of monster are you?
I bet you'd just love to kill everyone who doesn't share your 'sky is blue' delusion, wouldn't you? WOULDN'T YOU?
I feel sorry for anyone who has to meet you, and talk to you and hear your stupid, idiotic, insensitive ideas!
My sister didn't believe the sky was blue, and you're SPITTING ON HER MEMORY!"
Change the subject to something medical, and this is the shit I get in GD...
steve2470
(37,457 posts)You post in GD, you takes your chances
Aristus
(66,481 posts)again, and then someone posts something on a medical subject I can't resist replying to...
This despite knowing their biggest players congregate in a cold, dank, dark hole in the ground, and send in provocateurs specifically to stir up controversy...

(32,822 posts)Stars come in every colour from brown to white (ignoring black holes). You can't see all the stars in the sky because other junk in the way. That's why stars twinkle. You have ever more trouble seeing the stars because the atmosphere is in the way. During daylight the atmosphere refracts sunlight. Because of all the water in the air it tends to refract blue when there aren't clouds in the air.
I gave a simplified version of this as the answer to "what colour is the sky" in grade 3 and got in sooooo much trouble.

(17,997 posts)You know you are I'm the lounge? I'm going to have you to self delete or I will alert the hosts! Unless you are lounging while looking at the sky this should be posted in GDP.
Btw, I think the sky is actually reflecting off the water, which is reflecting off the sky. So the whole thing is an illusion.
You crack me up, my friend!
