Time to needlessly factionalize DU

[Robb]

I'll begin.

I prefer my salad lettuce to be hand-ripped, and you people who like it cut with a knife are just disgusting to me. Disgusting, I say!! :bounce:

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. that's because you are a barbarian Robb...

ripping salad if counter to all that we Dems hold dear. You can't see that because you're a damn lettuce-ripping freeper!!!!

[Bunny]

2. Okay, you can take your hand-ripped lettuce and shove it!

Now, let's talk radishes. Anyone who does not think they are the devil's work?

[Career Prole]

6. Cutting them to look like little roses certainly is! n/t

[Robb]

7. Oh great, another radish-hating type...

I suppose you support cucumbers. I can't stand it when "Democrats" support cucumbers, and shout down radishes. :D

[Bunny]

16. You're damn right I support cukes! Nukes too!

Ooops. Did I say nukes?

Anyway, since when do I have to bow to the almighty radish faction of the Democratic Party? We're a big tent, we can support the radish-haters, right? I refuse to march in lockstep with you hand-ripped lettuce, radish-lovin', ultra left pinkos! So there!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Radishes are the food of the Gods.

You must be a freeper.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. What does that make Horseraddish?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. Pegasus! (nt)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Then call me Perseus!!! WASABI - LET'S FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[liberalhistorian]

9. No, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts

and bean sprouts are the devil's work!!:evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

3. Anyone who actually eats lettuce...

is just plain weird. You might as well just chew air. :P

[SOteric]

24. What kind of lettuce...? Ice berg?

Hearts of romaine? Red leaf? Butter lettuce? Curly endive?

[VelmaD]

27. Any lettuce.

All lettuce is blechy. Blech.

[SOteric]

40. Well then. It'll all work out beautifully.

I have your share of the lettuce, you can eat my share of the steak.

[VelmaD]

54. I'm a little scared of steak right now...

what with the whole mad cow thing down here in Texas. :(

[SOteric]

57. I'd send you some prime Washington beef,

but I can't imagine that would be much comfort.

[VelmaD]

60. I'm actually considering...

becoming a vegetarian again. I'm just not sure I can give up turkey or pork chops.

[Burma Jones]

4. I prefer MY salad to be cut with a Porcelean knife

The rest of you are really missing out

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. The toilet paper should be positioned

So that the upper part rolls towards you when you pull it. The other way around is evil and disgusting!

[Bunny]

19. You're right!

Toilet paper going UNDER the roll is just plain wrong. And I will not be silenced!

[Parrcrow]

28. You're right, only wack-job freepers would

use that underhanded position for toilet paper.

Over the top forever!! :hurts:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. To those lurking under-rollers:

We're the majority, so FSCK OFF!

[Robb]

34. We can say all we want out here in DU

...but when I go into that booth, how I position my toilet paper is an entirely personal choice. :silly:

[WoodrowFan]

43. they're NOT born that way

people who have the toilet paper roll UNDER were clearly raised by a strong mother and weak father and a family cat that dominated the family dog. I know there are some therapy groups that can help them with this lifestyle "choice."

HWJR: How Would Jesus Roll?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

44. Personal choice my ass!

I draw the line at allowing innocent children to see toilet paper rolls spinning in the wrong direction. For your own sake, I hope your so-called "booth" has some kind of access filter.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?????

[SOteric]

8. When you say 'hand-ripped'

I just know you must mean 'gently torn.'

[Don_G]

10. I Bet You're A

Peeve petter too!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. As someone whose mother was killed by lettuce,

I find your brazen flaunting to be insensitive and likely quite deliberate. Judging on your past posts - and I just did a quick search and read a bunch of them - I don't doubt that you meant this as a personal attack.

I don't know what it is with your lettuce-lovers showing up here and trying to split DU. Why don't you go over to luttuceloverunderground.com and spout your garbage there.

You know, DU was better before they allowed every tom dick and harry in here, and we didn't have to be constantly barraged with "I love lettuce!" and "Here's how to prepare letuce" and all that BS.

maybe it's time to leave, and find someplace safe. Like DU used to be.

[SOteric]

22. Hah! Censorship!!

Lettuce-Nazi!

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. I'm just saying that it would be nice if people be a little more sensitive

to other people, especially now in this election cycle when Democrats, especially DU, should be united.

But these lettuce-lovers keep popping up with their propaganda and misleading statement and lies, distracting us from the real issue, which is that people like me shouldn't be exposed to anything that I dislike because it makes me feel bad and unsafe.

[SOteric]

41. Ah. Well then.

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. Ouch!

Why do you lettuce lovers always have to resort to violence?

:-)

[WoodrowFan]

47. it was probbaly HER fault

if you mother was experimenting with alternate lettuce lifestyles she probably DESERVED to be hurt. Sorry, but we must pay for the consquences of our actions. She should have stuck with peas and carrots like a good girl and not wandered into the jungle of tossed salads.

[Rabrrrrrr]

48. It wasn't - it's because the lettuce was picked by a DIRTY IMMIGRANT

Mom figured, hey, this is the US only clean people live here, so she didn't see any need to wash the lettuce. besides, with all the good checmicals on it that the government approved, she figured it should be safe.

She failed to think, though, that our government might have very well allowed some unwashed IMMIGRANT into the country to pick that lettuce and steal jobs from decent Christians and destroy our lifestyles.

But otherwise, no, I'm all with you about the taking reponsibility for your lifestyle choices.

I'm just saddened the government failed to protect my mother, just the government fails to protect our children from profanity on the TV, anti-Christian sentiments in public schools, and the glorification of sex as a lifestyle from the media.

[lovedems]

12. I like to tie my shoes making ONE bunny ear and wrapping the other lace

around. Those of you who make 2 bunny ears are evildoers. :)

[Beetwasher]

13. Hand Rip This

I'll bet you use those dirty hands of yours for all sorts of other sordid things, you filthy salad ripper! Blechhh! Remind me never to eat at your place!

I'll bet you don't wash your beets either. HEATHEN!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Alert!!! We have a Freeper in our midst!!!

We must have large government tax us heavily to have salad lettuce cut as environmentally safe as possible!

Mods take notice..................oh damn.

Nevermind

[sus]

15. what kind of jerry-lewis-loving FREAK cuts their lettuce???

[Parrcrow]

17. lettuce must be separated from itself humanely

not romainely
and definitely not shredded as our adversaries would do. We're better than that.

[terrya]

18. Anyone who puts butter instead of sour cream on their baked potatoes...

Are revolting. Ok? The very idea of putting BUTTER...or, God forbid...MARGARINE...on their baked potatoes. It sends shivers up and down my spine. And these...these...BARBARIANS are allowed to do this....in PUBLIC RESTAURANTS???

Whatever happened to MY America??

:bounce:

Terry

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Sour cream?

Are you out of your mind? The Middle East wouldn't be in such a mess if people used butter instead of sour cream!

I'll bet you are Ariel Sharon's personal cook.

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. So now you're saying that Jews should have no voice in American politics?

Bigot.

DU didn't used to be racist, and Jews were welcomed with open arms because we didn't ask about anyone's faith.

But I guess you prefer a little litmus test before letting someone speak. What's next, banning women?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. How predictable that YOU would call me anti-semitic

I have nothing against Jews -- AS LONG AS THEY DON'T USE SOUR CREAM ON THE DAMN POTATOES!

Is it THAT hard to understand??? Seesh!

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. So you say one thing, but yet you completely deny them the right

to their culture, and thus efectively silence them.

DU didn't used to censor people because of their religious beliefs, but it's quite apparent you'd like that to change. Probably a Nader supporter, always coming in, trying to disrupt things and divide the democratic party.

[FarmerOak]

20. Heresy!

Hand-ripping lettuce is what got this salad into the sorry shape it's in today! Don't you realize that when you hand-rip your lettuce, you might just as well be eating a POTATO salad... or no salad at all?!?

Hand-ripping is just one step away from FOOT-ripping, and why would you want to do THAT??? Why do you hate this salad so much? Are you a spy sent in here by the rutabaga lobby, trying to rip our salad to shreds? I'd really like the moderators to investigate you, and see if you don't have some sort of connections to the pickled-beet people, who try to ruin our salads just because they lack integrity.

Years ago, everyone here used to chop their lettuce with a KNIFE, and we all got along. There was much rejoicing, and we danced long into the night. You rippers (frippers?) came in here, and it's never been the same since!

If you rip-heads are going to ruin this salad for everyone, I AM LEAVING, and I'm taking my tasty cherry tomatoes WITH me.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

25. Salad is wrong.

Each food should be eaten separately. Mixing different foods together just makes them harder to digest.

[VelmaD]

30. YES YES YES

The different kinds of food on your plate should NEVER EVER touch. It's just WRONG.

[Robb]

36. You want to take away vegetable's rights to touch one another?

How can what veggies do on someone else's plate POSSIBLY be any of your business?!? :P

...Paging Mr. Santorum, Mr. Santorum to the thread. :evilgrin:

[icymist]

33. To rip or not to rip...that is the question!

I must say that I cut my lettuce with a knife. I add to that lot's and lot's of garlic, so much that I find myself blowing on a forkful before eating! Sometimes I get depressed living alone.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

39. It's the PATRIOT ACT that threatens DU, not the economy, you IDIOT! (nt)

[Robb]

52. That's not what you said over on the radish blog. n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

56. Is this insane or what? STOP STALKING ME! (nt)

[TXlib]

49. All Hail Robb, the One True Dingbat!!!

We're not worthy!

[NoPasaran]

50. SALAD IS MURDER!

Anyone who could even contemplate dimembering an innocent head of lettuce just to stuff their fat face is no better than Hitler!

Don't even get me started on tomatoes!

[Endangered Specie]

51. You are either with Star Trek or against it

Star Trek saves, resist the axes of evil (Star Wars, Babylon 5, Andromeda)

[Quahog]

53. Why are you atheists so intolerant?

Just because I have to cut my lettuce leaves in order to get them into a nice cross shape doesn't make it right for you to lump me in with the insane fundies!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. This thread is one step away from being a sex thread!

I am offended!

[Bunny]

58. SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA !You'd better develop a thicker skin if you want to hang around at DU, my friend! Offended, my ass! :silly:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

61. You need to turn on your sarcasm meter!

:)

[Bunny]

62. okay!

;)

[m-jean03]

59. I've had you on ignore for so long . . .

I don't know what this thread is about, but it's probably STUPID! :P
