Depleted Uranium Forums (DU-BBS)

I wrote this back in October of '05... IMO it is just as viable today as it was then.


It has become my focus over the past few months, as it is painfully obvious to me that no matter what happens, no matter what is revealed, no matter what is said, no matter how much evidence is presented, the right wingers I and we continually engage in in our "discussions" here (insert board name... any board name) and on the myriad of other forums we post at, they just aren't going to change.

I was a card carrying methane breathing republican that supported bush in his war on Afghanistan and the capture of that snake Osama Been Forgotten... but...

Thanks to my pals, and especially to Doc Billy... I had an anal-cranial extraction procedure and once I was again breathing fresh air, I became incensed and became the forum warrior you all know today. So yes... it is possible for those that are currently living with their heads up their asses to come back into reality, provided, they have an ear to hear and an eye to see, and a brain capable of connecting the dots.

But, I don't really care anymore if the right wingers don't hear what I say, or read with comprehension that which I write as it is NOT them that I am talking to anyway!

I write for the guests... the lurkers... those that don't participate in our discussions. Those that just read what we post without commenting, those that sit on the fence, those that didn't vote last time but will next, I write to inform THEM.

waves to the lurkers...

Think about it, my friends. It frees you from the attachment of trying to educate that right winger that you just want to reach into the screen and slap upside his or her head to knock some reason into them.

so look past them, as they're hopeless anyway.

Talk to the lurker, and say so while you're doing it, because my friends, that infuriates our opposition.

heh heh heh heh heh...

addendum: Always take your weekends off. Spend that time with your friends and family, because you can never know when they might be taken from you or you from them.

And besides, the right wingers will still be there on Monday.

Fine post there, Stripey1, and--one can only hope!--an inspiration to the reasonable people who inhabit Internet forums...and those who "lurk."

The unreasonable ones?  Well, who cares about them anyway?

well, they do provide a good foil to enlighten the lurkers... without the righties intranscient, unwavering support for bush's failed policies despite everything that transpires in the nation daily, despite the unceasing avalanche of bad news abroad, we'd have nothing to discuss.

Frankly, I'm glad the righties are so damned obstinate. It makes my job showing the lurkers just how wrong those righties are, easier, a lot easier. Cuz despite their silence, I have every confidence that they SEE what's happening just as we do...

if not... we're doomed, I fear...
