(10,618 posts)But as a general rule I get WAY more entertainment value throwing my money away at a movie theater or concert hall.
And let's be honest. We ALL come to DU for the sole reason that we feel the need to share how we feel and what we believe. You yourself felt the need to share how you felt about my post. Isn't that the very spirit of sharing that keeps DU, and all other Internet forums alive and thriving? And if each and every one of us didn't believe that, at least in one aspect or another, we are better informed, more objective, more enlightened, or more intelligent than out fellow posters, well, we wouldn't even be here, would we? We come to DU to give others the benefit of our great wisdom, just as I did with my post, (demonstrating my superior math skills) and just as you did with your reply to my post (demonstrating your superior wisdom and understanding of human nature).
Three cheers for our shared need to share how we feel!
