112. WARNING! This thread is being Freeped. They are bumping it to the Top.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 10:58 AM by McCamy Taylor
Seriously. It makes DU look like a Horse's Ass to have this dumb and ignorant thread heading General Discussion so everytime it moves troo far down someone comes and moves it back up to the top.

I am only posting this because I found it at the top again.

Is there a way for the author to retire it? Newcomers who see this thread are going to be turned off.

Maybe one of us should go to the Free Republic and post a thread about how Americans are all sinners full of depravity and sloth who need the government to guide them and this is why we must have religion incorporated within the state?
