What is the weirdest thing anyone has posted/advocated here at DU?
One times, I forget what the real subject of the thread was, but a person (I forget who) posted an article recommending that human waste be collected in everyone's home to be used as fertilizer on farms. ICK. In essence, they were advocating doing away with the flush toilet.

Any other weird ones out there?

1. Personally, I thought this was a little weird:
"I have many republican friends who are just a little right of center"


:wtf:

2. I think Fox News quoted something somebody said about the
tsunami.

What was it again? Something about the tsunami being caused by global warming. They completely ignored freeperland's assertion that the tsunami was caused by sui-dish gays from sui-den, as well as the actual science, in favor of broadcasting some crackpot DU posting on the topic.

7. in a thread about endangered tigers
This person opined the that extinction of tigers would be a good thing as they cause so much pain & suffering. Felt that all carnivores should be allowed to die off for same reason.

I rest my case.

Can't blame him. It must suck compiling huge amounts of documents and data on the corruption of the Bush administration, then posting it in a thread next to some guy who thinks Bush is sapping his precious bodily fluids.

And no, I did not go nuts. There is a story behind the story which I will not go into here. More to that thread than appears on the surface.

But slinkerwink and I patched things up and got along quite well in the aftermath.

We even brought this thread up as an inside joke for a long time, sharing a laugh. So anyone using it to take potshots at me loses. I have the last laugh. :-)

In desperately poor countries with horrible public health systems and short life expectancies. Very good way to promulgate parasites. Plus, ICK.

Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 02:44 PM by tjwmason
It's a bit gross afterall, but many do believe that it provides benefits. I believe that Ghandi drank his own urine on a daily basis.

On edit. That said, I was once told by a chum that if two people are stranded without a water supply it is better for them to drink each other's urine rather than their own.

Now I'm just going to run away I think :scared:

unraveled in two threads I remember, starting with this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3082593&mesg_id=3083531

And continuing in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3113722

(You need to follow through the posts in order to get the real sense of what I mean by unraveled. Where else can you find a gem like this: "...if memory serves, though all it's been serving me lately has been wizened sardines on something resembling a bloated Triscuit..." or the succinct "...just feeding me the tiny crumbs of knowledge in an agonizingly slow drip, drip, drip, drip, like the Chinese water torture of the kitchen faucet that I'm going to teach a lesson to in a few minutes, and we'll see how it likes meeting Mister Ball Peen face-to-face.")

58. One person here, who claims to be a nurse, advocated taking one's....
elderly mother to a "bad" nursing home to show the elderly mom what would happen to her if she didn't "behave," among other forms of what I consider abuse to keep granny in line. (The original poster was having problems with a near-senile mother who resided with him and asked for advice).

I was appalled, as were other DUers.

59. FURRIES. Someone here, bless their heart, advocated the dressing
up of one's self in animal character furry costumes and seeking out and engaging in sexual activities with strangers.

I even got a personal email from them about it.

I tried to explain it to my french husband, and frankly, I couldn't. We seriously JUST. DON'T. GET. IT.

No offense to those who thusly engage.

67. The weirdest thread I ever encountered here, last fall, was called:
"No More Mr. Nice Democrat: Lefty Black Ops."

Can't link to it because it's long gone. Don't want to demonize the person who started it, but let's just say I can't agree with anything that poster was suggesting the party should get behind doing or actually do. I'm not saying I'm not tempted to start breaking as many laws as the GOP does to get ahead, but this person wanted to do things as extreme as go rifling through the medical records of the mistrisses of Republican senators to see if anyone had ended any pregnancies recently--then try to create scandals with that info. And it's not so much that I want the Dems to be above those kinds of repugnant (and impossible to achieve) tactis as well, I don't think that kind of shit would work for our side. The Republicans (and many of their supporters) know who has done what evil thing recently. They don't care.
