Time to purge DU...

[walldude]

I guess we'll start with SMOKERS.
Next the GUN OWNERS need to go.
Then you DRINKERS need to take a hike.
POT SMOKERS, we're not for you.
COFFEE drinkers, go hang at Starbucks.
RED MEAT eaters, walk away.
VEGETARIANS, get lost hippie.
How about people who DRIVE. You're gone.
WAL-MART shoppers, buzz off.
People who don't RECYCLE, not needed.
OVERWEIGHT people, goners.
TOO SKINNY? Join the freeps.
GREEN PARTY VOTERS, you are killing the system.
CHRISTIANS, not around here.
WICCANS, go dance naked in the woods.
MUSLIMS, this is all your fault, get going.
JEWS, Mel says you cause all the wars, go away.
BUDDHISTS, gimme a break.
HINDU, cows? Get real.

Now I'm sure there are more people than this deserving to get tombstoned, but if we get rid of all these folks then we should be down to a few dozen people who have never done anything that could be considered "wrong, unhealthy or dangerous" by anyone on the entire planet. Those perfect few who, despite the flaws inherent in human nature, manage to be perfect in every way. I'm sure you will have some intelligent and lively discussions without all of us flawed humans :eyes:

[babylonsister]

1. walldude, it was nice knowin' ya!

I'm doomed, too.

:hi:

[ChiciB1]

74. Bucking The Line Here... But What The Hell Is This All About???

I've been out most of this week-end save several hours here and there and I KNOW I missed something.

What I'm NOT vry sure of is IF it's very important! Is this a "wedge" issue thing? I do TRY to stay up on current events, but hey I'm campaigning locally and doing my civic duty, so forgive me for not being informed!

What is all this smoking stuff about?? I don't smoke, but I don't care if others do. I even tell them they can smoke in my house, but I haven't found one person who will. I agree it's not healthy, but then I used to eat a lot of cheese when I was younger and that wasn't healthy either.

Please fill me in. I'll just take the information and digest it and leave the comments to others as I see there are more than enough to go around. Just asking!

[walldude]

98. No worries it was just, a little sarcasm/humor

to combat the very few DU'ers who believe they are so much better than everyone else that they should be casting the first stone... There have been an unusual amount of anti-this and anti-that threads lately. I was just having a little fun. Apparently I have struck a nerve with a few people. You know.. the humor/sarcasm impared..

[ChiciB1]

112. Okay... Thanks... I'm Glad To Be A Liberal... I Can Slink Away From

this now! I thank you for poking fun at idiocy anyway!!

[Vidar]

76. LOL K&R,

[boolean]

2. Right on

I don't fit into any of those.

I get to stay! HAHA!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. LOL! K&R

Nicely said.

[AlamoDemoc]

4. LOL....K&R...

[Union Thug]

5. Uh-Oh, I fit into several of those categories!

Gun owning, coffee drinking, pot smoking, beer drinking, former smoker, driver of cars and motorcycles here.

Thank GOD you didn't mention atheists. ;-)

[Critters2]

10. Atheists get to stay?!

:wtf:

Critters
a vegetarian who drives and drinks occasionally (but not at the same time)

Getting lost, hippie

[walldude]

13. How could I forget Atheists?

My human flaws are showing! Purge me lord! :rofl:

[Goblinmonger]

30. Too late to change it

you already made the list. Of course, I'm out because I'm a vegetarian.

[wtmusic]

6. And thus Democratic Deeper Underground.com was born

Do we let perfectionists in? :shrug:

[seabeyond]

81. ya, were all the fun people hang out, wink. well..... of course

the perfect people can come. that in and of itself is their imperfection. making all of us equally ..... perfectly imperfect

[BlooInBloo]

7. One quibble: This isn't "Green Party Underground", after all...

[walldude]

23. True.. but it's also not Smokers Underground

or Atheist Underground, or Vegetarian Underground, I was just making a point... This board generally subscribes to the liberal point of view and most Greens are liberal as well. ;)

[BlooInBloo]

44. Irrelevant. Out of all of those, ONLY green party is CONTRARY to

the Democratic party. It's possible to take any view you like on any of those other issues, and still be a Democrat. It isn't possible to be both a green party (wholly owned subsidiary of the gop) AND a member of the Democratic party. That's how the green party differs from all of those other categories.

[walldude]

58. And that is why they have to go.. along with all the other

flawed individuals that some people think are wrong

Pssst.. my post does not advocate the Green Party but if another liberal wants to throw their vote away all I can do is try to convince them otherwise, I'm certainly not going to berate someone who's heart is in the right place.. ;) Now please stop hijacking my thread. It has nothing to do with the Green Party.

[walldude]

88. Wow.. striking a few nerves I am

It actually started as a thread about intolerance and ended in a discussion with you about Green Party Voters. Even though we apparently agree about the green party you still felt the need to tell me to fuck off. Classy... And none too bright.

[Union Thug]

68. This tangent reveals why we need instant run-off voting in this country...

There would be no reason to argue. That way, I could vote my conscience first without throwing my vote away.

[badgerpup]

8. Guess I'm outta here too...

..and I was having so much fun! :crazy:

[jaxx]

9. It's been fun, but...............

I heard that after perfection the only thing left is death.

I will go and sin in peace. :-)

[Wonk]

11. You forgot to include WHINERS on your list.

Some might wish to start with them.

[seabeyond]

82. nah no nah... the whiners ARE the ones to stay..... dontcha know

the rest of us are grouping up in the under underground

[Goblinmonger]

12. ATHEISTS get to stay

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[BlueJazz]

17. That's right...We're the only ones that truly......

..know what the hell is going on... :)

[beam me up scottie]

24. Does my atheism trump my vegetarianism?

:shrug:

[Goblinmonger]

28. We're like twins

Vegetarian atheists. Me stuck in the land of brats and cattle, you in the land of fundamentalist whackjobs. At least I am close to Madison where liberalism and vegetarianism are welcomed.

[beam me up scottie]

53. You lucky dog.

I'd have to travel much farther to find like minded souls.

Almost all of the people I know down here have never even met a vegetarian, never mind an atheist.

I can't hide my vegetarianism as well as my atheism, unfortunately.

Damn good thing the first position doesn't cause as much of a defensive knee jerk overreaction as the second.

[Goblinmonger]

66. You can come up here and live with us.

We'll welcome you.

[beam me up scottie]

86. That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a long time.

:hug:

[BootinUp]

14. You must be a DLC'er!

I don't see them on the list!

Burn him! Burn him!

[walldude]

15. Hey you can't burn me, I weigh less than a duck!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

16. YAY! PURGE PURGE PURGE!!!!!11!11 n/t

[karlrschneider]

18. I plead nolo contendere on 8 of those.

Guess I better get packing...

[autorank]

19. How about people who are intolerant of intollerence...;)

[bobbolink]

36. You've been listening to your Tom Lehrer cds again...

:hi:

[autorank]

40. Damn, I grew up on those...

Then there's the classic, "Poising Pigeons in the Park."

:hi:

[bobbolink]

59. Well, it's Sunday....are you free?

:rofl:

If so, maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two (said with throaty growl)

Have you seen the play, "Tomfoolery"?

Everyone laughing through the whole thing... and singing along to it all!

What a curmudgeon he was. :hi:

[ElboRuum]

91. ***BOOM*** n/t

[ElboRuum]

93. What I MEANT to post was...

***BOOM*** <Elbo's head explodes in a turbulent whirl of recursivity> n/t.

Unfortunately, there are RULES about what can and can't go in a subject line.

[Human Torch]

20. If you want to follow me, You've got to play pinball...

And put in your earplugs, Put on your eyeshades, You know where to put the cork
Hey you getting drunk, so sorry! I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature! This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal, Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways, Although you think you must

Yes, there IS a "Tommy Mentality" among a few select assholes on DU. They attempt to to impose their morals and values on their fellow posters, and the louder they yell about what they don't like, the less "perfect" they become to anyone who can READ. Do they understand this? NO. It's more important to them to be Uncle Ernie, and guide you to your very own machine.

My special message of love to those folks (and you know who you are, don't you) is

"Let's forget you better still."

:toast:

[walldude]

26. We're not gonna take it! Never did and never will...

Got my Who tickets.. Finally going to get to see them, or what's left of them...

[walldude]

84. Bwhahahahaha That Casey Stengel quote is hilarious!

:rofl: :toast:

[Rex]

22. I can't drive anymore? When did that one start?

So why did you start off with the vices on top and end with religions??? Oh man, if there is one thing I can't stand is people who start off with vices and end up on spiritual beliefs.

[Rex]

39. Keep your nice clean peanut butter

out of my pollution spewing chocolate!

Chocolate hater! :rofl:

[lildreamer316]

25. HAHA!! Love it!

A dose of much needed reality.

[FogerRox]

27. Nice little essay, now you better get the fuck off my computer, by the

time I get back from my cigarette break.

[Hubert Flottz]

29. My fight is with the GOP...period.

[eppur_se_muova]

31. I'm not a Wiccan -- can I still attend that naked dance in the woods?

It sounds like more fun than any church I've ever been too. They need to advertise more.

[Justice Is Comin]

32. And don't forget us single bullet theorists too.

[survivor999]

34. You forgot: SNARKY PEOPLE.

:)

[matt819]

35. It's a start (nt)

[Montauk6]

37. You forgot...

People who pronounce address "ADDress"
People who press elevator buttons that already have been pressed.
People who remove their suit jackets during power lunches.
People who cluck their tongue studs.
People who insist on programming their ringtones in public.

[DemReadingDU]

38. Midgets!

[Rex]

45. Yes, finally we reached the low point in all political discussion.

Someone has to mention midgets. I am so anti-midget midget word dropper, drop!

Outraged by my own outrage I am!

[DemReadingDU]

48. and Giants!

The awesome high point, lol!

[Rex]

54. They're hugh!!1111

'Hohoho' - The Green Giant! :rofl:

[stepnw1f]

41. Wow... Flame Baiting Bigtime

what drama.... :nopity:



For Girls and Boys

[bridgit]

42. you need 'dumb-ass schmucks' on your list...

x( :) :thumbsup:

[Union Thug]

65. not to mention Ordinary Schnooks. n/t

[bridgit]

73. YAY! "Ordinary Schnooks", i made the list...

:bounce:

[cui bono]

43. Oh great. So now I'm going to just be talking to myself on here.

[ElboRuum]

95. Start smoking or eat a burger... problem solved ;)

[Catchawave]

46. OH DEAR, wait til the pre-primary season starts...Nov 8?

....and then there were none. :rofl:

[jedr]

47. I got 9 of 18..can I stay??????...n/t

[cassiepriam]

49. Give up walmart. Never.

I have a card in my wallet informing everyone: When I die, please bury me at Walmart.

I know it is politically incorrect.

But I have no other vices, none at all. Sigh,
a closet walmart shopper.

[Gregorian]

50. If we were all the same we wouldn't need this forum.

I've noticed a few people here who frown and look down on some of us who aren't up to their standards. (I should add that there are also some brilliant folks here who will be kind to the smallest of us. And bless them for their kindness.)

Do I really have to be a journalist or an author or a politician to post here?

Well, I'm just a regular idiot. And I forget more than half of what I learn. I have bad memory. I even seem like an ignorant fool sometimes. But my goals are the same. And I have something valuable to offer that even the smartest person here doesn't.

I've always thought these forums were special in that the entire spectrum was forced into one big place. Of course if you are one of the elite, super sophisticated and educated, AND tend to hold it over people, then it's a problem. But how else are we supposed to unite?

I say we are either united or divided. No half way. It IS binary to me.

Right now I'm pretty unenthusiastic about being on DU. I shouldn't be, because I've had some very friendly people pick up on it and encourage me. But there are those turds out there, and you know who you are, who think that those of us with less knowledge should be scorned.

If we were all the same we wouldn't need this forum.

And just like this bullshit war on terrorism, if we don't embrace those who are different, we will lose them.

[XOKCowboy]

51. Hey if we all agreed on everything.....

We'd be NeoCons!

:)

[walldude]

69. Dammit, I forgot Hippie Cowboys from Ok...

Well, I hope you don't feel left out I made sure you were on the list a few times ;) Psst guess where I am.. Ok City... hehe playing the new Shawnee Casino tommorow and Tues.. then I'll be home.. call you then bro...

[XOKCowboy]

72. Yea I noticed myself at least a couple of times...

on the list. Proud of it too!

Let's hook up next weekend. I'll be back from Minneapolis by then.

Watch out for them Okies and glad to see you're helping my NA brothers take back America! :)

Peace!

[shadowknows69]

52. Was there a controversial smoking thread I missed?

Sorry, I was too busy worrying about THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN A DECADE.

[stepnw1f]

57. Lol... We Both Did

But I found it and read some posts.... What I read there were great arguments with a couple statements that were uncalled for, but that tilted toward the anti-smoker winning the arguments. Now we see this...

[Swede]

55. I like my fried chicken with cornflake batter,damn it.

And Laura Branigan is a real artist.

[Gabi Hayes]

56. how about purging idiotic, irrelevant, flamebaiting threads?

[walldude]

64. Sure... let me know when you find one...

61 responses and 15 rec's in less than 15 minutes.. yeah I'd say this is irrelevant :eyes:


I find it amazing that posting a thread on tolerance is considered "flamebait". I guess I should get my mind back on the single election track before some other DU'ers get mad at me. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

67. dick much?

tolerance?

sure

that sort of BS may play well elsewhere

[walldude]

70. Seems to be playing pretty well here...

And no I don't "dick much". A little, but not much. :rofl:

[LostinVA]

97. I don't disagree, and to that I'll add

That it doesn't even make sense. MOst DUers are nothing of the kind, and most are even a 180 of the OP's accusations.

And, this isn't Green Party Underground.

[Kierkegaard]

61. If I meet all the criteria...

will I get some sort of parting gift?

[WillyT]

62. Thank You Wall...

Self-Righteous Assholism, know's no party!

:yourock:

[havocmom]

110. "Self-Righteous Assholism, knows no party" Whoa! That's something

Would look good on a bumper sticker... or in reverse on a rubber stamp one could accost people's foreheads with.

I friggin LOVE it! :rofl"

:yourock: your own bad self! :thumbsup:

[bobbolink]

63. Yup, just a buncha excess voters -- Who needs 'em...

Thanks,walldude!

How did you know I was needing this right now?

:hi:

[Little Star]

71. Ya mean we're here about being a Democrat?

Thats why we are on this board? Who knew. :P

[judaspriestess]

75. dang I'm out too for lots of reasons you listed

thank god I have double D's and not overweight, that should be my saving grace:sarcasm:

[A Simple Game]

77. I am an ex-smoker and an ex-drinker,

even God hates me!

[ellenfl]

78. if you add 'people who are forced to talk to

themselves because everyone else has been ostracized', boolean could join us. :evilgrin:

ellen fl

[NuttyFluffers]

79. There's always room for Soviet-style purges!

it's just like jell-o that way! :D

[Critters2]

80. Of these, I am

an occasional drinker
vegetarian
a driver
just Thursday I voted for the Green Party candidate for governor (and I'd do it again!)
Christian, both personally and professionally
and I think I'm overweight, though my doc says I'm good.

So, buh-bye, I guess.

[Justice Is Comin]

83. Well, there's a saying.

Those who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do :spray:

[Rex]

85. I would like to add people who never gaze at their PC navel.

I amend also anyone who gazes at their PC navel. Stop looking at that thing!

[beam me up scottie]

87. But my PC's navel is cuter than mine.

It's an outie.

[Rex]

89. I didn't factor in the difference between innies and outies.

I guess we will have to have a navel war or maybe some very imaginative belly buttons.

[beam me up scottie]

107. Now that could get ugly.

There are a lot of bellybuttons that are attached to bellies that I would really rather not see.

[Rex]

109. Yes, better to keep the war option off the table.

No one should have to see that. Let us just say that navel gazing or the lack of navel gazing is bad and should be avoided or done at all costs or never. To prevent future navel wars, we must all be belly buttons and not a tendon or mole under the armpit. Lord knows about those people.

[ElboRuum]

90. So what you're REALLY saying is...

There is only room on DU for non-smoking, gun-averse, teetotaling, cannabis-hating, poultry-and-fish eating, Lord-and-Taylor-shopping, assiduously-recycling, perfect-BMI-having, anti-Green-Party, atheistic (or perhaps Zoroastrian or Shinto) cyclists and pedestrians?

Wow. When DU gets purged, I wanna PARTY with who's left! :sarcasm: (as if anyone needed the help finding it)

[nosillies]

92. Ooo, don't forget me , I go to DISNEY WORLD

I thought I couldn't be any more hated than I was because I am a Christian, but then I let it slip that I actually go to Disney on a very regular basis. Made Christianity seem like a walk in the park!

But seriously, thanks for the great post. Some people will never get it, though. Sometimes it's just way too easy to wallow in our own self-hatred, anger issues, or inflated sense of superiority. And we're ALL victims of one of these at some point in our lives.

And now I'm off to find something else to boycott, 'cause if you're not boycotting at least a dozen different businesses, then, hell, you're just not committed enough! :evilgrin:

[walldude]

105. LMAO.. I too have a soft spot for the House of Mouse...

I found it hilarious that DU was screaming for a boycott of ABC and 3 days later I was reading about Dancing With The Stars. I guess I should have started my list with "People Who Have No Sense Of Humor."

[countingbluecars]

94. Purging seems a tad extreme.

How about a special forum for DUers with persecution complexes?

[ElboRuum]

96. Yeah, but what to call it? Hmm... n/t

[walldude]

102. "STERNN! Hangings too good for him! Burnings too good for him!"

He should be torn into little bitty pieces and BURIED ALIVE!!!!" Cue Cheap Trick!

[muriel_volestrangler]

99. Does 'purge' really mean "insult and argue with"?

Or have the management really been thinning out the ranks?

[stepnw1f]

103. "purge" is for Dramatic Effect

Yes... never argue with DUers again... they may feel like they are being purged!

[walldude]

106. Yes and never make light of anything

you shouldn't hold it against someone when they can't get that bug from out of their ass... ;)

[stepnw1f]

113. Oh... I Don't Hold It Against You

and I hope you manage to remove that bug from your ass.... sounds catchy.....

[novalib]

100. "Purge"??!!

You must know that there are some people here on DU who struggle with eating disorders!

Why would you say "purge" DU???

It's SUCH a loaded term to use!

Maybe you mean "CLEANSE" DU??!!

[KoKo]

101. Who are YOU to TRASH FELLOW DU'ers....Go AWAY!

[walldude]

104. I am a Jedi... like my father before me.

:rofl: :rofl:

[Missy Vixen]

108. Thank you, walldude

>OVERWEIGHT people, goners<

That's right. We'll just take our undesirable selves somewhere that nobody has to look at us again. :eyes:

It's amazing to me that the perfect have time to spend here; you'd think they'd be out doorbelling, leafleting, phone banking, and attempting to get Democrats elected. Then again, I'm sure they believe they're offering a shining example to the rest of us. :sarcasm:

[Cleetus]

111. dont forget those selfish SUV driving bastards (eom)

[Crunchy Frog]

114. Wow. What's been going on here to bring this sort of stuff on?

[rasputin1952]

115. Locking

Talk of purges and gas on inflammatory situations somehow just doesn't seem to be conducive to discussion.
