1. Boxers, or briefs.

Personally, I go for boxer briefs.

And fixing entitlements.

5. But Haynes either way because they don't have an annoying tag.

7. Only an extremist would be totally against tags.

Small tags are best.

[underpants]

18. Tags = profiling

[jonno99]

51. Yes - I hate "the tag"!

[HFRN]

54. sounds like someone is a little 'tagist'

just because you had a bad experience against a few tags, doesn't mean you have to stereotype them all

[jonno99]

56. Yep, I'm pretty narrow-minded these days. I only tolerate "stamped" labels - NO TAGS!

[HFRN]

52. isn't it amazing we put a (person) on the moon, decades before we figured out

that you don't have to have a scratchy tag on your clothes?

[short circuit]

23. I'm a boxer brief guy too

Nothing but Champion-made boxers.

Others make me itch.

[Peacetrain]

2. ROFL!!!

Here have a cup of coffee..(_)0... I just checked in to see the same thing.. fireworks should be going off in about 10 minutes

[underpants]

8. :-)

Been meaning to post this. I've stayed out of the fray so far.

Bad mood this morning. Speeding ticket yesterday and I just crushed a pretzel on my office floor.

[Armstead]

10. Let's argue about your speeding ticket

[underpants]

14. I'm not going to make any comments about the State Trooper

Other than I've never seen a Trooper that out of shape. Young guy too.

69 in a 55, thought it was at least 60. I was explaining to our daughter what the guy did wrong -passed on a solid line with a state trooper coming the other way, way too close for the pass too- that had gotten pulled over a mile back. Explained this to our trooper (really, turned around to give me basically a 4 MPH over ticket???) but to no avail.

[Armstead]

15. Had to fill a quota probably

[underpants]

19. No

He is white and so am I. Where the hell is MY white stinking privilege?

[short circuit]

26. Challenge the ticket...

I did - for something I didn't do. a Gore violation - fought it to the final hearing and easily got it dismissed.

At first when I received the ticket - Gore violation - did I violate Al Gore somewhere? I had to literally look it up.

A Gore apparently is that white line near the exit that increases wider when the exit is closer. Except in my case, I was inside the exit lane, nowhere near that white line. Cop didn't even bother to show up for the final hearing, and it was dismissed to improper legal process (letter arrived uncertified - was supposed to be certified)

[Armstead]

34. I meant a numeical quota for tickets (revenue)

Lets not mix up social and economic justice, Who are you REALLY for anyway?

(Just keeping with the spirit of arguing over nothing.)

[underpants]

35. 'MURKA!

[Peacetrain]

40. A pot on the head

helps with the incoming.. .. arrrgghhh tickets I hate them.. I slid through an intersection a couple of years ago that had a camera on it.. and even though I was on the ice.. I still got ticketed for 125.00 sigh.. my contribution to the welfare of my community I guess..

3. What have you got?

Great! Just what we need

[JackInGreen]

4. So far

1.bernies got more mr.magoos supporting him than anyone else.
2.hillarys emails stay pertinent though a non issue issue.
3.only hillary has the money to win and bernie and omally supporters are stars in their eyes dreamers.
4.Biden remains shroedingers candidate.

That's a quick brief, but it's early. Same shit really repackaged for a new news cycle.

[underpants]

9. Oh ...sure

You just couldn't mention O'Malley could you?

On edit - mentioning Webb and Chafee just to keep things straight

[JackInGreen]

11. Hey I did

I just forgot to capitalize and apostrophe. I'm mobile here

[underpants]

16. Oh

I read that as a mistype of normally.

You still haven't mentioned Chafee or Webb. It is noticed

[short circuit]

29. Yeah - that Chaffee guy

I expect a massive jump from 0.2% to 0.4% - Chaffee is on the way to being the nominee!

Webb is just plain flat - he just might as well mail it in.

[HFRN]

6. what do you want to do tonight Brain?

same thing we do every night....try to take over the world!

[underpants]

27. Mmmhmmm

Murkan exceptionaism
PNAC
Colonialism

I figured as much

[NuclearDem]

50. OF COURSE

[Armstead]

12. Should Sandrs get a hair transplant? Does Hillary use Botox?

[underpants]

17. HEY!

Okay so I didn't really read your post but I am replying anyway. Bernie does not need to switch to a bow tie and Hillary transplanted from Arkansas to New York years ago. There is an email trail on that so just KNOCK IT OFF!!

[randome]

13. EDWARD SNOWDEN!

There, that should help things along.

28. Well done

We'll see what BLM does to his campaign

[hrmjustin]

20. I decided last night to use the ignore function at least for a brief period of timr.

I am sick of the vitriol. It is enough to drive people away as it did for me for a month.

I used to be nicer and the viriol against Hillary made me a bit more jaded.

I put 90 people on ignore last night because i need a break from the vitriol against Hillary last night. I will likely add more.

I do this from time to time but since i gave up hosting in groups here I think i migyt stick with it for more th a n a few days.

I am sorry but if I don't do this I will either snap more at people or just leave DU again.


And no I am not going to respond to did you put me on ignore posts.

[underpants]

21. Good choice

[LWolf]

32. Interestingly enough,

I feel much the same about the vitriol against Sanders supporters.

I don't use the ignore feature much; only when I feel like I need a time-out from a poster to keep my head in a better place, but I trash threads constantly, and I use the auto-hide feature to trash a bunch before they even show up.

Somewhere on my FB feed this morning I saw this:

“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.” - Maya Angelou

It spoke to me.

24. Fighting

we are fighting about fighting. Is that meta? To which forum should we post that?

[underpants]

30. Oh so YOU get to decide

Typical.

[demwing]

31. ALERTED!

heh heh heh...

[underpants]

33. :-)

I'm sure it will be eventually. Just wanted to vent a little.

[jeff47]

36. No! We aren't fighting about fighting!!

We're just talking about policy about fighting!

(And now we're fighting about fighting about fighting)

[demwing]

37. Sorry, the five minutes is up

[jeff47]

38. That was never 5 minutes just now! (nt)

[underpants]

43. Must be metric time

Vote Chafee!!!

[CTyankee]

49. No it wasn't.

[Vattel]

45. I think fighting about fighting about fighting is ridiculous.

And please don't fight with me about that cuz if you do we will be fighting about fighting about fighting about fighting.

[jeff47]

47. There is nothing more important to the primary process

and Democracy itself, than fighting about fighting about fighting. If we don't do it, we'll turn into a fascist dictatorship!

[demwing]

53. thems fighting words!

I think....

what were we talking about?

[underpants]

59. How WRONG the other person is

Proceed

[demwing]

60. nah, that wasn't it

some people, sheesh...

[FSogol]

39. Weaponized rhetoric!

Really DU, many of you need to get a better hobby and/or stop taking yourselves so seriously.

[Peacetrain]

41. I have just been trying to make heads or tails out of all of that

still confused.. but I have this urge to say..

"If you guys don't settle down back there and start treating each other with respect, I will turn this DU around and we will all go home.. And don't think for a moment I would not do it!"

[underpants]

42. Sad

Having to turn around the Peacetrain

[Vattel]

46. lol, good one

[FSogol]

48. +1. LOL. n/t

[mmonk]

55. Same old sh*t. Same old charges from the same old people.

I know I will never forget. I know the hate speech going on here is too much for me. Yes, inferring the same false things about people everyday is a form of hatred. It is what the right does. It's what is done here. Hatred is the word, straight up.

[nadinbrzezinski]

57. The moon is made of cheese

you poppyhead!

[underpants]

58. Whew!

Thank God you didn't say cornflakes
