He's a black hole of emotional need. A beacon of neediness. Always wanting someone to kick and recommend his wants and desires.

But does he ever stop to consider our needs? Our desires? No, never.

Which is a good thing since we're trying to avoid him.

I did too.

I am pushing this thread because, of course, and because I think more DU'ers should write songs using subject lines.

I'm not saying go K&R the thread, though you should - because, naturally - but I am saying please write a country song.

Because.

Thank you.

Because.

this thread would have gone to the trash, too. And, I couldn't "rec" it, even though.

"Saturated", for sure. And, yours may be the only "Please rec" post I have ever rec-ed.

Normally, when someone asks me to recommend their post, I usually move on. But I will make an exception in this case because I feel it is very important that we all come together on this very critical issue, "because."

For once someone understands how important "because" is to our cause. We must push forward just "because." Because it is the most important issue in this thread and because.

You are either with us or against us because.

impression that your post cannot stand on its own merit, and that you need folks to rec it in order to seek some sort of validation for your weak argument. I always rec on the merits of a post, and at times fail to rec even when I should.

However, even though you ask for a rec, and my gut reaction is to not rec the post. Your argument is compelling, and I find that I cannot build an argument against it. You post is concise, and succinct, leaving me with no questions, and no rebuttal to your proposal.
