It’s really hilarious to see them babbling on about Chiron, a rock that weighs about 3 times the amount as the displacement of USS Nimitz, but somehow manages to change their lives from 12.6 AUs away.
But if I believe Jesus is Lord (and I do) I’m a bizarre primitive who has surrendered his brain at the door of his church. Suuuuurrrrrrre.
If you had asked the average Soviet citizen in the early Fifties if Uncle Joe Stalin cared for them, they would have said "Da!"
Someday scientists are going to rename that planet and end those silly jokes forever. They'll name it "Urectum."
It’s worse than that. Their charts assume that the Sun and planets revolve around the Earth.
Once you’re using a chart based on the Earth being the center of the solar system, why quibble about whether Pluto is a planet?
You owe me a new keyboard.
Has CC been promoted to "The Site That Cannot Be Named" status on Skin's Island yet?
Alas, other than Pedro Picasso, I don't think any primitive knows we exist.
Primitives live in such a small world, remember, rarely venturing off the Skins's island.
By the way, even though there’s the DUmpster over there, for bonfires from Skins’s island, and the DUmping Ground, for notorious primitives, bonfires are scattered in the other forums, too, such as the automotive forum or the cooking forum, in those cases where a primitive bonfire is appropriate for the subject.
I always thought it a bad idea for any web-site to isolate the primitives into a single forum, because the purpose of most decent and civilized web-sites is to illuminate the primitives.
However, the primitives being narcissists, go to such places and look for only themselves, ignoring all of the other enlightening stuff at the web-site.
By scattering the bonfires around, the primitives have to hunt for themselves, and while looking, might come across something useful to them.
All for the Greater Service of Humanity.
Roscoe, you magnificent bastard!
Seems I tried the automotive and cooking forums and couldn't get in because I was not a donating member.
That’s what I thought! I emailed the moderator and wondered why I could have been banned...got no answer. I may be assuming too much, but seems to me there are millions of democrats who believe there is a creator! Certainly the whacko liberals in my family all go to church. Where we disagree is usually on the issue dear to our hearts and their pocketbooks. They believe in big government solutions, because they worked in government.... We don’t. The federal bureaucracy is a huge and growing leviathan that only wants to keep working and growing. But I didn’t say anything like that over there at DU. I’m aware, and had already read you can’t even say you will abstain from voting, or say as a Clinton supporter you will go with McCain. That’s just SIN over there. There can be NO dissent on any issue. I wonder where they find all the words to keep agreeing with this stuff. But now that I understand that message count is so important, they must all be trying really hard to find some innane remark just to raise their count. They are irrational.
There’s all sorts of forums over there, but usually the general public pays attention only to “General Discussions,” whatever the now-defunct “Primaries” is now called, and the “Lounge.”
There’s “DU Groups” and “DU Topics;” I have no idea what differentiates a group from a topic.
When regretfully departing the old home and settling in a new one, I had this hope that the groups and forums with be rich with material, but it’s a mixed bag.
The automotive forum and the deaf and hard-of-hearing forum, for example, one gets attacked by killer cobwebs when he goes in.
The “gun owners” forum is a bunch of primitives who own firearms, but because they’re scared of the other primitives, these guys are wimps in expressing opinions.
The election reform forum is nearly wholly dominated by the usual clique and claque, many with whom we all became familiar three years ago this time.
I never really paid much attention to the mental health forum; as Doug’s ex-wife is so rarely there offering her expertise on the subject (instead usually being out in “General Discussions” offering her non-expertise on things way above her head), that forum’s kind of, well, depressing.
The most interesting forums seem to be the ones dealing with rural life, frugal living, and cooking.
I am truly saddened, greatly disheartened, that my fellow alum Skins is so exclusive; while Skins’s island has a forum for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, it has no forum for blind primitives, or for non-English-speaking primitives, or for illiterate primitives.
My fellow alum Skins usually does not answer e-mails from mausoleumed ones; if he did that, he would be doing nothing but writing e-mails all day long.
I haven't checked the latest numbers yet, but ostensibly Skins's island has circa 116,000 members, but of which only circa 5,000 are actually active. Probably more than half, maybe as much as two-thirds, of that 116,000 are mausoleumed, and that's a lot of e-mails to answer.
Concern for mausoleumed members is not a big issue with Skins, because it has nothing at all to do with the original purpose of Skins's island.
Skins's island was set up in late January 2001, financed by the Democrat Leadership Council.
Alphonse Capote Gore having recently failed to steal Florida, mainstream Democrats and liberals diagnosed that part of the problem (losing elections) was with the fringe elements shooting off their mouths, turning off decent and civilized people.
Skins's island was set up to identify, attract, and sequester those who make Democrats and liberals look bad, keeping them out of the public eye.
This is why my fellow alum Skins seems to mausoleumize rational people, and lets the irrational ones run amok. Rational people are supposed to be out spreading the message; the primitives are supposed to be kept in the attic, out of sight.
Imagine the damage (and there has been some damage) if Pedro Picasso or Doug's ex-wife or Ms. Ed or the TomInTib primitive, for examples, were running all over the internet, making Democrats and liberals look bad. Skins's island keeps them safely segregated, under control, and nearly invisible to decent and civilized people.
Skins's island is not meant to be a purposeful political-discussion web-site; it's meant to be a sort of segregated ward like what one finds in some hospitals, nothing more than that.
Many times, my fellow alum gets flak from this side for fleecing the primitives, but I beg to differ. The primitives are so intractable that Skins earns every cent he makes, and probably deserves to get ten times as much, from the primitives, for all the trouble and hassle they cause him.
That with Obama, the sun rises and sets in Uranus....
I picture a hollow cone-shaped candle, similar to a megaphone, lighting the expelled fumes of Uranus....
As opposed to DUmmies, who are now classified as "freakoids".
