I've never been to the DU site. I'm kinda scared of it. One Freeper says you feel dirty for a few days after visiting it. Is it safe to venture over to the hate-filled cauldron of angst and root around?
If you're feeling stupid, sad or otherwise ornery pay it a visit. Those nitwits will make you feel so proud to be an American Republican
Just take a shower after you go there and everything will be all right.
Yes, safe to root around - but don't stay to long. Just be prepared for the most hateful, vitriolic, violent and vicious language you have ever encountered in a supposedly civil forum. It doesnt' take long to get a feel for what and who they are. They remind of spoiled children that have never grown up. They seem to think America should operate like a large college campus so they don't have to grow up - they have never been able to separate reality from the idealism they were indoctrinated with in college. So immature it is unbelievable - and of course, anyone that doesn't agree with them is ignorant and reside on a pedastal several floors lower than their supposedly intellectual ivory towered selves. They are repugnant!!!
Here is just one example of the kind of hopless stat reaching they perform at DUmmy site:

GREAT NEWS! THIS IS WHAT ZOGBY MEANT WHEN HE SAID KERRY HAD A GOOD DAY...
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 08:17 PM by TruthIsAll
I calculated what the Kerry and Bush one-day poll numbers had
to be in order to come up with Zogby's three-day moving
average poll released today: Bush is leading 46-44., down
from 48-44 yesterday.
It is not obvious that Kerry made a big move in yesterday's
polling. After all, his 3-day moving average held constant at
44.
But....Kerry outpolled Bush yesterday 49.6 - 39.1!
Zogby doesn't want you to know it.
Job security.

What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.- John F. Kennedy
I recommend saying a prayer before you go there. Some threads are just pure evil.
Only go to DU if you've got a good sense of humor...the only real value in DU is the "Oh-my-God-these-people-are- idiots" laugh potential.
It is safe IF you come back here and make a post. There is an autoformat function is invoked IF you do NOT use html in your post. This autoformat function also sterilizes you. You will feel better after posting. But, if you use html, the auto function is not activated and you must manually enter the sterilization code. For your convenience, I will provide it to you. Just drop the space and inserted at the beginning of your posts. "< font color=white>"
