DU... You are FUCKING AWESOME.

[cherokeeprogressive]

Right OR Wrong...

We disagree today, agree tomorrow, and argue our points regardless of who's right or wrong. Everybody gets a bite of the apple.

I read things here that make me throw up a little in my mouth after reading things here that bring tears to my eyes. I read things here that bring tears to my eyes and then read things that make me throw up a little in my mouth.

I read that there are something like a hundred fifty thousand PLUS members here. Is it just me, or are there something like a couple hundred or more that actually have opinions on a daily basis?

Not important. I know who YOU are, my DU friends, and I'm sure you know who I AM.

Could you EVER imagine yourself donating to a message board? I couldn't, but I DO.

I fucking HATE you, and I fucking LOVE you.

I come back every single day, for HOURS, to the detriment of my marriage (my wife thinks I love DU more than her). I might die from exhaustion trying to prove her wrong wink wink.

You are ALL WRONG, yet you are ALL RIGHT. How is that possible, I ask myself... then it hits me like a diamond bullet in the middle of my forehead... You are all either Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives!

I fucking love this place if you haven't figured that out already.

I think it's time for bed... the bottle of Patron is empty.

I love you all, and I hate you all, and I don't think I can explain why.

Good night.

1. Nightie night.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear cherokeeprogressive!

How beautifully you put this!

I feel so much the same...minus the bottle of Patron, alas...

This fucking place has taught me so damn much.....about love, about life, about myself...

About the world of politics...

About humanity.

Blessings on you...

Good night!

:hug:

[petronius]

3. Don't forget to brush your teeth

All that mouth-throwing-up and Patron is gonna do bad things to your enamel.

I hate you too, man... :hug:

4. That's what democracy is: Everyone has a right to express an opinion.

No matter how stunningly stupid. It's irritating and exhausting and forging consensus from the mass of it seems almost impossible ...and then it happens. Voila! Amazing.

5. OPINIONS VARY

SIGNED,

[WhiteTara]

18. Varied Opinions are welcome

and so are you! :hi: Hope you've found a home!

[Ohio Joe]

6. You know... I have trouble remembering people

There are probably only about a dozen names I remember, I just don't pay that close attention. So I could argue with someone on one thread and completely agree with them on another. I approach each topic on it's own merit and don't worry if I've dis-agreed with someone on something else, as you said, we are all on the left.

ahhh, Patron though... Back when I was employed, I always kept a bottle in my freezer, great stuff for gaming nights :D

[ZombieHorde]

8. I can remember you because you post in the gaming group so often. nt

[Ohio Joe]

10. And I'm really behind :)

I have several reviews I want to get up, Oblivion, Military Madness, Red Dead Redemption and About a Blob... and the first three are even the full games, not just demo's. heh, I found a nice used game store here in Denver :D

[ZombieHorde]

12. I am interested in a review of Red Dead Redemption and the zombie pack. nt

[intheflow]

21. I'm the same way!

I know some people well - have met DUers IRL all over the country. But on the boards I only recognize names of frequent posters, but not necessarily their opinions. I always said that was what made me a good mod, back when I was one. :)

[Kablooie]

7. We have enough opinions here to make up two opposing parties.

Maybe we should do that and let the GOP fade away into the insane, ineffectual fringe.

[ZombieHorde]

9. I love you too. DU is usually fun. nt

[canetoad]

11. Aye, so true

We come back here to agree, group hug, get pissed off and angry. Sulk and then be garrulous. Just like any family.

[Tripod]

13. Okay then.

[canetoad]

14. Forgot the cliched smilie mate.

[Tripod]

15. I'm trying, but it is hard!

[Tunkamerica]

16. cinco de mayo claims another victim

[tekisui]

25. lol.

[Graybeard]

17. unrec...no, wait a minute...rec...no...un.....

Oh hell...K&R!!!

I know exactly what you mean.:evilgrin:

[Motown_Johnny]

19. Mmmmmm...... Apple.....

[proud patriot]

20. it is pretty awesome

[intheflow]

22. Exactly right!

I'm not even drinking but know you have it SPOT ON! I also come daily, sometimes posting a lot, often not posting at all. My heart has been broken and my spirit renewed by DU. It really is the most amazing place on the web! :loveya:

[Odin2005]

23. LOL, great post, K&R!

[aj_cd]

24. I like what you said.

Kind of what my son said to me last week. If we weren't like that we would be Republicans.
He has theory that most of them have a mob or sheep mentality and that's what makes them like that. He swears if he gets a few drinks in em' and gets them one on one, they can be reasoned with. I am not convinced. But at least he trys.

[Kurovski]

26. K&R.

I take comfort in knowing that no matter how crazy DU gets, Du will never be crazier than me.

So now this Patron...it has someting to do with Zen, does it?
