The Democratic Underground is not a juvenile chat room..it is a forum..take some risks
Sometimes I walk away from the Democratic Underground because I believe that not enough risks are being taken. Now one might say, what is a risk? Passion is a risk, don't be afraid of it. Venom is a risk and it is a necessary one. Being funny is fine, but sometimes you've got to stop hiding behind rated G humor because this is not a rated G world. Democrats are a stormy breed, and the Democratic Underground is a place where tornadoes are allowed to touch down once in a while.

A proud DU loyalist, Renwiick

2. You've taken so many risks that you've only posted 74 times in FOUR YEARS
And the last two times have been lecturing the rest of us.

41. Did you see the power of Janet Jackson's breast, that was only one of them,
and it almost started a revolution, can you imagine the impact if every woman attending the Super Bowl suddenly had a costume malfunction and went double barrel?

The "War on Christmas" would seem like a minor skirmish, the Talaban might relent on the burka issue, and if "sex sells" it might even jump start the economy.

7. Juvenile chat room?
Sometimes I wonder. Surely a large part of that is ego driven. And is taken much too personally.

Then, of course, to continue the negativity, DU is much too discombobulated. But gawd damn, it sure can be entertaining, eh?

22. Hey
It's us crochety oldsters that gave the internet to the kiddies. And at least we usually have some kind of random wisdom, whereas the juviees are just trash talking.
