Typical kind of G.D. discussion. Ironic - a poster or two on there. . .

One of Denise Oliver Velez's writings.

Found it:

George Washington is not my Great White Father

Gets my hackles up. It never fails, and no fault of MERT (they are quick), I always end up seeing the post before they get their pizza.

I tend to lurk mostly in this and a few other groups. After taking a break for several months, after a rather ugly racist exchange, I tend to mainly post in the groups that are fun or I have a passion for. Musicians, Motorcycles, and my favorite: Cooking and Baking.

but I have seen more than a few others that have suffered the same. This place, though it breaks its arm patting itself on the back with how "worldly," and "informed" its denizens are, really ain't that much different from the comments section of most major newspapers.

I decided to declare a general amnesty and clear the hundreds of posters on my ignore list, and all I could say about the 'unfiltered' DU was holy fuckin' damn...

And I'm convinced these people only know what they know. Laser vision with a lack of exposure to others causes this.

Isolation is the burden of America.
