6. The lounge has had it's moments, too. We can't deny that.
But I've never seen anything as insane as the mother who just posted that her toddler was diagnosed with the flu, and she refused treatment with Tamiflu because of the connection to Donald Rumsfeld.

Yeah, that'll teach Donald Rumsfeld. :eyes:

Sometimes I think that people who post that shit are posting the cherries for Free Republic and other DU watchers to pick to use as examples of how stupid we are.

Not that I care about what people think of DU--but I think that that's why we end up with some of these goofy, flamebaitish posts.

9. In the old days I'd say it was a troll infestation
but, these people I swear they are paid operatives, slick suckers that know how to inflame and push buttons.

11. I can usually take GD, but there are always topics I know to stay out of..
because they'd drive me up a wall. Sometimes I get into flamewars again my better judgment.

13. GD is uplifting
Because I'm glad I'm not 90% of those people. They'll bend any sort of in-their-face reality to match their own conclusions - then fight you to the death when you bend it back and show them how FOS they are.
