Okay, what topics *can* be discussed on DU without wadding pants/panties?

[Stinky The Clown]

Even the popular topics have a bunch of critics.

Everything seems to devolve into a flame war lately.

Everybody's so much smarter than everybody else.

Everybody's nostril flare wider than everybody else's.



How about my lumbago? Is that a safe topic?






On edit ...... why is everyone so S*E*N*S*I*T*I*V*E?

[Duckhunter935]

1. I think it comes to numbers and numbers of dupes

how many threads on the same topic is too much?

[noamnety]

7. That wasn't the case with one of stinky's that just got locked

I'd like to see a second attempt at that one without naming particular states, but going for a more general hypothetical discussions about states in general, since the first one fell apart.

[Stinky The Clown]

45. That one was an exampple of the respondants running the train off the track, not the OP

*BUT* ..... a lot of the responses were hypersensitive about an issue important to them that was clearly not important to others.

And I understand that happens.

And I understand we ought to be sensitive to that if we can.

But without a daily list of "Topics That Will Piss Off Some People" ya just can't keep up with it all.

And then there are the related topics that bring out the people LOOKING to fight.

Mention Sarah Palin's ...... I dunno ....... hair style (as just an example) and suddenly you could hear about how Alaska's residents are dissed by the larger community and other will say it is because they elected her and others will say there are plenty of good progressives in Alaska and some will say well if you're so good, why is she the governor and they'll say ..... and they'll say ...... and it gets locked.

Some people are actually LOOKING to get outraged and manufacture it when it isn't there.

On the other hand, there are OPs a-plenty intended to do exactly that ....... piss off people.

I don't have an answer ...... wish I did .... but I don't.

[defendandprotect]

110. That's purposefully done, IMO, to sabotage the OP --- is it not?

[Stinky The Clown]

131. Wouldn't be the first time the herd ran wild

Or the swarm, as some of us have called it from time to time.

124. Oh no!! I've seen 'kitteh' posts turn viral in the lounge when

teh pro-puppeh people show up.

The same with teh puppeh posts when teh kitteh people show up.

[Pholus]

3. Victory disease...

We won, now we can throw out the impure and the DINOs, right?

And then the hard feelings get in the way when we need to unite again and we get our butts handed to us again until we have to come together.

It's a cycle, nothing more.

4. I, for one, want to hear more about your lumbago.

[Stinky The Clown]

46. Feh .... it comes ....... it goes ......

.... but I manage ......

[annabanana]

5. pfft!!. . Lumbago? Lumbago you say?. . . a made up amalgam of symptoms..

What is Lumbago? ... "an umbrella term for lower back pain"

[Stinky The Clown]

48. That doesn't make it any less real. Who cares what you say? Why do you hate Lumbagoed Americans?

I'm reporting you to the National Association Of Lumbago Sufferers and Enablers

NALSE

Nalsee, we pronounce it.

We're comin' after you.

50. I'm not good with animal advice

I cry during Sarah McLaughlin commercials. I can't watch that stuff with the Polar Bear cubs.

I can't even watch Animal Police on Animal Planet. When it comes to pets, I'm the world's biggest sap.

And now I'm worried about that mean, hateful cat of yours who is obviously very loved which means he really is mean and hateful.

[valerief]

8. Never diss songs from Les Miz or you face the wrath of les miserables. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

52. I love show tunes. Really I do. But some of them can get under my skin, night and day.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=8688918

[valerief]

68. But Cole Porter is FABULOUS! It's show tunes since 1970 that bite.

9. The joint is imploding.

Bullies have been allowed to run rampant, management wants to be as centrist as possible to keep the donations flowing in, whilst pushing out the "extreme" left. You asked :(

10. Don't make fun of my wadding pants!!!! You're so insensitive!!!

[Stinky The Clown]

53. I meant no harm. Honest

Geeze, what's it gunna take?

[onehandle]

11. Guns, Israel, and 9/11.

All safe topics. Go wild!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

40. Don't forget vaccines, circumcision and pets.

[walldude]

112. Smoking, Weight, Drugs and Susan Boyle..

Big list... and getting bigger.

[The Straight Story]

12. Been here long enough to tell you. None. And that is just how we roll

:)

[paulsby]

13. it's example after example of the PERPETUALLY OUTRAGED nt

[Stinky The Clown]

55. Isn't there a saint and a shrine and grotto for that somplace?

Portugal, maybe?

Or was it Dubuque?

I can't remember.

Saint Gus, Patron Saint of the Perpetually Outraged.

[jmm]

14. Chuggo

Just make sure you don't mention him and Susan Boyle in the same thread.

[underpants]

98. Yes I agree

we should stop mentioning Chuggo

[BlooInBloo]

15. You mean discussed over and over and over and over and over and over?

[Stinky The Clown]

60. I found a way to avoid that

I exercise self control and don't click into threads that offer me no appeal.

Or seem destined to piss me off by either the participants/original author ...... or subject matter.

My BP's down 20 points as a result of that.

Y'oughtta try it.

I also think that if I can't give a string of words that begin to resemble actual sentience, I skip replying at all ..... things like ":)" and "LOL" arr hardly the stuff of discourse and often get read wrong, leading to people being pissed off. Leading to the topic of this entire thread.

Its like .... some days, you're just part of the problem and not the solution.

Unless that's your goal. To be a pest, I mean. If ya wanna be a pest, that's a pretty good way to do it safe from being locked or pizzaed.

But I don't wanna be a pest. Controversial, maybe. Provocative, sure. But not a pest. Nobody likes pests.

[Dammit Ann]

16. What he said.

No shit, I got attacked the other night for giving someone a COMPLIMENT!

[The Straight Story]

18. Let me fix that for you

Give me one and I promise to reply nicely :)

[Dammit Ann]

21. You deserve better than you've ever gotten.

And I know your straight story. :-)

[The Straight Story]

23. Thank you kindly

wanna go out for dinner sometime? :rofl:

[Dammit Ann]

24. Sure. I smoke and drink like a fish.

And I'm partial to lobster...
But I'm funny as hell.

[The Straight Story]

26. I do as well

Now if you just like poetry we are all set :)

[Dammit Ann]

31. Keats?

cummings? Pound? He had terrible taste in dictators, but was great.

[The Straight Story]

33. Well, was talking about poetry I write rofl

Here is one, and I am no keats (and I love the poem you posted):

Captured hearts

Part 1
My Josephine

Floating like an apparition from a dream I saw you
Across the saloon on the stairwell
A moment in time my lady I shall not forget
The sight of you has done what no man has ever
It stopped this beating heart

Outlaws, guns, bullets I have lived by
Fear and a racing heart for the weak
For where I have been
A weak heart becomes death

The look of you, My sweet Josephine
Standing there alone looking down at me
Was like that of an Angel
Coming to take the dying man home
A sweetness the taste of which I have never known

Had the site of you come to me in battle
I would surely have died
AS my very being stopped
My concentration given over solely
To staring at this vision before me

I have seen the greatest evil in men
Felt the wind of bullets near me
And never have I wavered
Never, Oh Josephine, Until now

I have come here, to my home this night
And found myself unable to think of anything
But you
And so I write of you, to you
Until the cock crows if need be
And even then I suspect I shall leave much unsaid

I liken my passion for you like the hunt of a posse
I shall not be satiated so long as you remain free
And out of my grasp
I shall spare nothing to find you
To have you

May God have mercy on this man
I pray that I shall find you again this evening
And that this letter has found your heart
Until then my sweet….

-Wyatt

Part 2

Starry Night

Dry desert night winds slid across the prairies
As a horse draws near another rider
She sits alone near a creek
Tethered to a tree, waiting

Long flowing Gown revealing her to the moon
She watches him approach
This lawman, badge glimmering in the dim light
IN her hand, her heart, clutched a letter

He sees her
And stops
The horse prances nervously
Feeling his heart racing
Knowing his movements from many battles
The horse prepares

A moment passes
“Josephine”
A whisper to no one
But she hears
They stare at each other
Neither moving

Approaching Hoofbeats
Shouts
Two deputies ride to him
A murder
Trouble in town
He nods and they ride off

He watches them
Uncertain
Turning to her, her name escapes his lips
A tone of empathy
Smiling she shakes her hair out
Face caught in the moonlight
Body revealed quietly beneath her gown
Cocking her head to see him better she whispers
“Go my Wyatt…”

Heart pounding in rage he pulls on the reins
And rushes off to town
Hell to pay for someone
The sound of the hooves
Does not drown out the beating of his heart
And he knows
He is deep in love
With Josephine


Part 3
Letter from Josephine

My dear Wyatt
How it gladdened my heart to see you
Though brief was our encounter
I remember it as I remember you
Such a Handsome man you are My Wyatt

Does it interest you Lawman that I am alone
As I write this to you?
Dressed as I was when you left
Feeling the need to pull you near to me
And hold you

My hand trembles across this paper
As a cool wind blows into my window
Why have you not come to me?
Why Lawman, do you fear me
I have no gun
No desire to harm you

I am called from below
So I must take my leave
I hope this finds you
My Wyatt

-Josephine


Part 4
Together

Sitting alone and tired in his tent he ponders
And rages
Why did I not stay that night?
And he thinks of the dead man outside
And sighs

A horse approaches
And stops
Stepping into the night, a deputy sits on his horse
Folded letter in his hands
The scent of a woman drifts to him
Taking the note he retreats again inside

Candle light dances across the paper
The smell of her
He reads

Commotion as he bursts from his tent
People awaken and look
Hastily dressed, gun belt on shoulder
He rides

Hoofbeats pound as does his heart
Town draws nearer
And he prods the horse on
Faster
And like the wind he rides
To Josephine

Darkened town
All sleep well
AS their lawman rides the night
The horse stops hard in front of the saloon
His heart pounds

Leaping down he races in
And stops in the darkness
His feet carry him to the stairs
Those stairs
Where first he beheld her beauty

Rushing up them
To her door
To her
And stops as his hand touches the door knob
What if?
Someone else?

Anger flaring
And hurt
He leans back and kicks the door hard
It gives and slams open
A candles protests and flickers
Another goes out
A wisp of smoke rises and dances

Gun in hand he stares in
As she sits up alarmed in bed
Alone
For a moment neither moves
Slowly the gun goes away

The passion inside him explodes
He rushes in to her
To her arms
To his Josephine

They embrace hard
He and His Josephine
And he swears to her then
To never let her go
His Josephine

[Dammit Ann]

35. That's really good. Wow.

It will take me a minute to form more coherent responses.

[Dammit Ann]

38. Love this Keats also.

Fame, like a wayward girl, will still be coy
To those who woo her with too slavish knees,
But makes surrender to some thoughtless boy,
And dotes the more upon the heart at ease;
She is gipsy, will not speak to those
Who have not learnt to be content without her;
A jilt, whose ear was never whispered close,
Who thinks they scandal her who talk about her -
A very gipsy is she, Nilus-born,
Sister-in-law to jealous Potiphar.
Ye lovesick bards! repay her scorn for scorn;
Ye artists lovelorn! madmen that ye are,
Make your best bow to her and bid adieu -
Then, if she likes it, she will follow you.

[The Straight Story]

39. I could analyze a poem like that for hours

:) And don't get me started on Hannah More and her writings...lol

[Dammit Ann]

32. Here you go...

Fill for me a brimming bowl
And let me in it drown my soul:
But put therein some drug, designed
To banish Woman from my mind:
For I want not the stream inspiring
That heats the sense with lewd desiring,
But I want as deep a draught
As e'er from Lethe's waves was quaffed;
From my despairing breast to charm
The Image of the fairest form
That e'er my revelling eyes beheld,
That e'er my wandering fancy spelled.

'Tis vain! away I cannot chase
The melting softness of that face,
The beaminess of those bright eyes,
That breast - earth's only Paradise.

My sight will never more be blessed;
For all I see has lost its zest:
Nor with delight can I explore
The Classic page, the Muse's lore.

Had she but known how beat my heart,
And with one smile relieved its smart,
I should have felt a sweet relief,
I should have felt 'the joy of grief'.
Yet as a Tuscan 'mid the snow
Of Lapland thinks on sweet Arno,
Even so for ever shall she be
The Halo of my Memory.

[Stinky The Clown]

62. Awwww .... you two ........ :sigh:

We're not intruding, are we? :)

[saltpoint]

17. I think maybe Ed Kranepool would be safe.

Anybody up for an Ed Kranepool thread?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

64. I saw him several years ago at a sports card show in a mostly deserted mall. Boy was that sad

(and I was never a Mets fan).

[saltpoint]

89. I hear ya. Baseball has taken quite a few hits lately. When I was a

wee lad it was still the national sport and kids played it on sandlots and in parks every night after school, weather permitting.

They still do that in Cuba and other countries.

Nothing quite as good ever replaced baseball in the U.S., IMO. Kranepool is kind of a saint of that bygone era.

[Stinky The Clown]

65. Isn't he washed up?

(There's a funny/ironic story behind that line)

[saltpoint]

88. Tell me the story. I used to have Kranepool's baseball card. I still

like him. He had the knack of familiarity with people.

[Stinky The Clown]

101. He signed with the Mets (the Big Club) when he was like 15 or 16.

Most of the team were old war horses the team (foolishly) drafted in the expansion.

Kranepool was the odd man out, in many ways. Young and hungry. But also kinda slow. A real mediocre guy.

Lovable and all. But mediocre.

The guy who had the full time at his position **finally** got sent down to Triple A and Edd gets the gig.

A year later, Ed's in Triple A.

At age 19.

The Daily News (I think it was) ran a now famous headline: "Is Kranepool washed up?"

I always found that funny. At 19, who can possibly be 'washed up'?

[saltpoint]

137. Washed up at 19. I did not know that story. Kranepool in Triple A at 19.

I had no idea.

Old-timey Reds fans still sing the praises of Joe Nuxhall, a left-hander for them who evidently was signed at 15 o 16 or so. Something like that.

It had to have been a charge for Kranepool and Nuxhall to be on the train with these older players barrelling down the tracks for Wrigley and Candlestick and all the other older parks. When I was 15, I doubt I could have found the left side of my own ass with a 3-way mirror.

Thank you for that tale. Much appreciated.

[Stinky The Clown]

138. I just checked my facts ..... I was close to right .......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Kranepool

A few things were off, but the story's essentially as I related. :hi:

[saltpoint]

140. You were plenty close enough for government work. I got a lift

out of your account and it kind of further reinforces my respect for Kranepool.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. Some people here are quicker to defend Susan Boyle than Barack Obama

Go figure.

:crazy:

[Number23]

43. +100. You win.

[Cali_Democrat]

47. Thanks!!!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that has noticed this. :D

[Le Taz Hot]

56. Susan Boyle opened her mouth, sang,

and gave the world a moment of happiness. Obama just gave torturers a pass on their crimes against humanity. :crazy:

[Cali_Democrat]

125. Believe it or not, Obama actually gives me more happiness than her

I'm sorry that I haven't fallen for Simon Cowell's string-pulling like so many others.

I know you probably think that's just wrong, so I would like to apologize.

[Stinky The Clown]

67. I guess my reply to that is "so"?

I bet there are some who would be quicker to defend Barak Obama than that woman, too.

Is either one right or wrong?

[Cali_Democrat]

122. Well......it depends how you look at it.

This is Democratic Underground, not Susan Boyle Underground. I'd expect more supporters of a Democratic President than Susan Boyle.

[KoKo]

20. Not even the "Weather" is safe, anymore.....

:eyes:

[rucky]

29. seriously. I posted a weather thread that turned into a flamewar.

a freaking snow warning

[nonconformist]

120. Weather flamewars?

That is both hilarious and sad.

I'd love to see some links to those, because I can't imagine how a weather thread could become a flamefest.

[Sparkly]

22. What I want to know is...

... is pant/panty wadding a BAD thing, necessarily?

Seriously -- aren't the points where people feel passionately often good topics for discussion? When are they and when aren't they?

[Stinky The Clown]

70. If I had to sit ona rock with little sharp spikey things on it, I should think ......

..... I'd actually **want** my pants in a wad.

Or not ..... on second thought.

Spikey things, huh?



Hmmmmm ........



I'll get back to ya.

[Deja Q]

25. Well, that means I'll have to stop talking about the size of my willie...

I know that turns everybody on...

:crazy:

[Stinky The Clown]

Which is way bigger than a willie.

Look it up.

72. Yoou know why that ALWAYS pisses people off?

No one knows for sure what species the little bear-like creatures are. And people just like uncertainty mixed with inanity.

Psychology Today did a story on that in the Sept, 1984 issue.

Look it up.

[lumberjack_jeff]

28. "lumbago" You have something against lumberjacks?

Well, do ya!!?

;)

[Stinky The Clown]

73. No .... i have something in 'common' with limberjacks

I watch Axe Men.

Pretty faithfully.

[cherokeeprogressive]

96. He's a lumberjack and he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day...

[scarletwoman]

30. It's because there are all these poor deluded DUers who don't know enough to see things like I do.

'Tis a pity. :cry:

[Stinky The Clown]

74. You're right, of course ...... as far as you are able to go, and all ......

[NV Whino]

34. Locking

You can't discuss your lumbago.

[Stinky The Clown]

76. Oh yeah? Lock this

Show me where lumbago is a prohibited topic.

Come on. Show me.

[NV Whino]

134. Unlocking!

Unlocking right fucking now! :hide:

[donheld]

36. Teabagging

It's really hard to do if your pants are in a bunch. :D

[Stinky The Clown]

78. That's very true .... but consider this. Bunched pants could actually be seen by some as a tea cozy

So maybe it ain't all bad .... yanno?

[uppityperson]

37. NARWHALS!!!!!!!!!

[Stinky The Clown]

79. Nobody talks about them cuz they're so .... well ...... horny

There.

I said it.

I hope that's not construed as antigay or something.

Cuz I usta be anti-antigay, but was asked by a gay person not to support her anymore cuzza sumpin I sed once.

I think she was the spokesperson for all gay people. At least she semed that way. She was real certain sounding. And spoke in terms of "we" and all.

Hadda be speaking for all gay people ...... right?

Anyway ..... Narwhals.

Yeahdat.

[Hardrada]

41. Poetry is a safe topic?

I imagined the olive making the milk sour .... yanow?

That was a very special gesture on your part. I feel special that you made that special effort.




Here's a special little game that many special peolple like to play, specially when they feel specially special ...... Google "Wrapped WAY too fucking tight" and see what special little hits ya get.

That'll be special. :)

[WolverineDG]

129. No, it's about you being rude to a large group of DUers who work their asses off

and deserve to be treated with respect instead of consistently being made the butts of "jokes" that stopped being funny more than 4 years ago.

132. Oh please .... oh jeeeze ........ wait ....... whew ......

Get OVER yourself, girlfriend.

And try that google I suggested. It might be cathartic.

Hahahaha ......

133. No, I will not "get over myself" just because a bully doesn't like it

when he's called on his behavior & whines about his thread being locked. You are the one who needs to get over yourself.

[Waiting For Everyman]

66. Some think that judging people constantly is a contribution.

I have a BIL like that. He armchair critiques, unasked, and pretends that's so valuable that then he doesn't need to actually do his share of doing anything. And his "directing" is absurd to boot... he doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground about any subject... but he damn sure has to get his way about what others are doing, or he throws a spazz fit and disrupts anything else. He's a baby in a man-suit.

Some here remind of him, a lot.

[alcibiades_mystery]

75. Why do we want "safe topics" again?

This is an agora, kinda. People should defend they shit in public and stop crying that some group of folks disagree with them. Yes, some people will disagree. That's the point of standing up and making an argument. What's the problem with that?

Why are people scared of disagreement?

[Stinky The Clown]

90. I dunno .... ask 'em

I love a good tussle.

[NeedleCast]

77. No offense, but didn't you start a thread this weekend about a E-mail signature

Some business person you got an E-mail from had some Christain mumbo-jumbo in an E-mail signature that was causing you distress...and you're talking about other people being sensative?

I think pretty much any topic can be discussed on DU. Some seem to be more reactionary than others and it's pretty clear which ones those are (they tend to have the most posts).

[Stinky The Clown]

93. See .... you're a prime example .......

That thread's OP **in its entirety* reads:

How would you react if you got a business e-mail signed with the phrase ......

..... "IN HIS SERVICE" all in caps, above the person's name?

It doesn't say I go it. In fact, I didn't get that e-mail. Someone else did and passed it on to me. The OP makes no statement of outrage. In fact, it implies no reaction whatsoever.

But YOU .... you were all OVER that thread, making assumptions of facts not in evidence and then debating them as if it mattered.

I brought up something to DISCUSS ..... and YOU chose to get all outraged about it. And now YOU choose to drag it in here and flog it all over again.

Who has the (he) problem here ... you (hehe) or (HAAAhahaha) me?

:rofl:

You're killin' me here. :rofl:

[NeedleCast]

130. If by "All Over That Thread"

You meant "posted two replies, totaling about three sentences, then you've pegged me!

I don't think I could have been less outraged about it. In fact, I think my response to your OP was to wonder why anyone would get outraged over the issue.

Are you telling me that, on DU, there have been fights between owners/fanciers of pet cats who are allowed outdoors and lovers/fanciers of wild birds over a cat's fundamental nature as a predator?

I've seen a lot of shit on DU, but I have to say, I've never seen that one. I can imagine it. Oh to be sure, I can imagine it. But I never actually saw it.

Did this really happen?

[Kat45]

111. I've seen it.

As the previous poster said, not for awhile, but I've seen it.

142. There was a recent outbreak of this war in the lounge

a week or two ago...first time I'd seen it, and was surprised at the flames. But then, I've also heard of the chicken breading war and the Olive Garden rebellion, so guess anything can be ground for board wars.:shrug:

[Kat45]

144. Really? I guess I missed the most recent one.

The chicken breading war? There's one I've never heard of. :shrug:

99. Watch Nancy Grace and study her

If you can find clips of when she drove that woman with the missing kid to suicide, you'll find some great nostril flares. She was **really** on her game during that episode.

Its a learned skill. Don't worry. You can pick it up, too.

102. I doubt the bottom one was made by Merkins. I don't think Merkins would put the steering wheel

on the wrong side.

The one on top looks hot though! I'd christen her the "Park & Party" and we'd travel the whole of the Merkas! Well, at least as far south as San Diego.
