Vanity

[Larry Lucido]

Just to clarify, you are probably right 99.9% of the time. Just wrong on this one.

[Charles Henrickson]

People using the F-word like butter, spreading it all over the place.

I thought benburch got tombstoned.

[HelloooClareece]

It took alot of guts to go in there without a hazmat suit.

[SmithL]

Damn Capitalist!

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

think that it's republican propaganda . . . be sure you wear your tinfoil helmet when you go in there.

[KarlInOhio]

Forget about a shower. He'll have to go through something like the Andromeda Strain where they flash burn off the outer layer of skin and rince off the ash.

[Petronski]

It should be entirely lawful to bludgeon such people, IMHO.

Here's another group of morons who ought to be strapped into chairs and beaten with hammers... --George Carlin

[sachem longrifle]

I agree with you. Doesn't mean they have to listen to you. Know what senate democrats try to do to the movie....that is a different story

[TexasRepublic]

There is no free speech on Party-approved blogs, Comrade. You are obviously a counter-revolutionary reactionary. You must turn yourself to a party headquarters immediately.

It should be entirely lawful to bludgeon such people, IMHO.

I really hate it when I drive up to the drive thru speaker and they ask me if I want to try whatever new thing they have on the menu for this month. I am so tempted to just shout into the speaker, "No, you paragon of mental genius! It's a flippin' drive thru; if I didn't know what I wanted, I WOULDN'T HAVE PULLED UP!"

[cripplecreek]

Gotta agree, it's their sewer and their rules.

[Paloma_55]

They were whining about Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman-pound-pound" being depicted.

I pointed out that he was not lying. He did NOT have sexual relations with her "one time".

OK..kinda blatant sarcasm. :)

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

don't feel sad. There are none so blind as those who will not see. I myself got tomb stoned so many times at DU for voicing an opinion that wasn't "going along with the herd" that I finally left and went right! The DU is all about free speech for their views only every one else is supposed to be silent. You didn't get that?

[Aquinasfan]

This is how cowards operate. Hit them over the nose with a newspaper and they whine like a puppy.

LOL! Perfect analogy.

[Paloma_55]

No... I do not expect the government to mandate that they allow me into DU.

I just find it amusing that they are so "open minded" that it hurts their ears to hear an opposing view.

Their rules do not disallow sarcasm. If they did, I think you would be right.

[Mr. Brightside]

I have gotten bounced more than once from there.

The last time was when they were criticizing the Bush twins for drinking.

I said, "We can't be too critical. Some of our *own* kids have problems. Al's son was just arrested for drunk driving."

Next thing you know I'm banned.

[Froufrou]

All the best people get bounced from DU, Paloma. It took me less than an hour. Keep it in perspective; I'm sure you've been kicked out of better places, as I have, but not any worse ones! ;o)

[Mr. Brightside]

Wow! That global warming chart is incredible!

Rove IS a genius. He has been warming the planet for 20,000 years!

How does he do it?

[sneakers]

"They are under no obligation to provide a venue for you to speak."

Exactly - just as FreeRepublic is not obligated to allow them to spew their garbage here. We are both forums of like-minded people. FreeRepublic's membership works for a living, takes responsibility for their own actions and take a shower everyday. The DUmp is full of lazy whiners, complainers and societal rejects who blame everybody else for their woes and are repelled by a bar of soap. ;-)

[Paloma_55]

I thought it was hilarious. I was actually wondering how blatant I would have to be to get bounced.

I started off with pretty subtle sarcasm like the Global Warming chart (in response to a Gore 2008 push) without any comment. Just to see if anyone picked up on the fact that our earth has heated/cooled many times before now without human intervention.

Then I stepped it up. I would agree with people with bold fonts and exclamation marks and then insert just a small fact as if it were unimportant that would disintegrate the argument and pretend I didn't realize I had just blown my own (their) argument.

OK..I am a glutton for punishment. But it was kinda fun testing the waters to see how much tolerance they have over there.

ZERO!
