Why, one would have to consider that DU means a whole lot to think that one little written word ruins it for everyone.

What pisses me off is that there is no equality inherent in the arguments made. And that some are so hip to making sure lots of posters get banned from DU.

Peeps, get this: This country, this DU, this party is never going to me homogenized. Live with it. Besides, bombs are the real fucking hurt and nearly everyone here has blame for that hurt.

My comment was on the use of the poster to indicate that something was going on with CTyankee Jun 2015 #36

Well, I don't think it's about sides. I think it's about a small group trying to force everyone else sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #40

the reference to 'some man' is very insulting to me. samsingh Jun 2015 #28

In which post do you see "some man"? nt pinboy3niner Jun 2015 #29

More sexist than a single word is the misuse of the word 'misogyny' which is thrown around here sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #38
