**** THIS FORUM IS FOR FIGHTING AND ACRIMONY ****

That's the first time I've laughed today. Thanks, Skinner.

[WillyT]

26. My First Laugh Of The Day Too !!!

Thanks Skinner. Thanks DU.

:grouphug:

[BootinUp]

5. ROFLMAO

[MsTryska]

6. Hey Skinner! Something happened to my account....

all of a sudden, all users have xxx posts, and i'm not able to create new threads anymore, because it says I don't have a high enough post count. I'm at 1,000+ when i made a thread this morning. What happened?

[TrustingDog]

14. It's probably because you don't have a star.

Skinner explained this a couple days ago - it's all about keeping the site barebones for all the traffic.

[MsTryska]

16. Well you might be right.

I haven't had a star all along tho. Things didn't change until the name change happened.

[Skinner]

33. You should be able to post now.

We screwed up and accidentally set the limit wrong. I think it's fixed.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

7. Thanks for my first laugh in 15 hours

You certainly know your constituency.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Thanks...I need this board to be bipolar today to match my state

of mind.

[frankly_fedup2]

30. Bipolar is an understatement . . . I have had to up my own meds . . .

to accept the reality of four more years of Bush. I wish I had extras I could share, but they are class II drugs and my pharmacy and doc keep a close watch on them. As far as my class III drugs fuhgetabout it . . .I'm already behind this month.

This "acrimony" all started with the impeachment of the greatest President since John F. Kennedy. Then the stolen election of 2000. Then 9/11. Now this.

For those that voted for Bush because he has kept us "safe" since he has been in office (even though the worst terrorist attack happened during his watch), they need to understand one thing . . . we are going to be attacked again (after all, didn't you believe Cheney every time he opened his mouth?), and when we are, I want you to ask your President why he did not keep you safe. That is not his priority anyway. You have been duped yet again.

[Jersey Devil]

9. OK, but I didn't know you changed it

Never looked at the lobby all morning and suspect many others hadn't either. Glad you pinned this up top.

[nomatrix]

10. Thanks Skinner

We need a place to rant, vent, kick, scream, cry, whine. I want to thank you for being here these years. Today, I just don't have the words, I am too sad for our country.


BTW, did anyone take notice of the rest of Bin Laden message that got lost on the back pages? Vows economic war to bleed U.S. into bankruptcy. The total national debt is near the $7.4 trillion statutory limit. Using the same tactic he used against the Soviets. No one, not even republican can argue, they went broke.

Expect this to be lost.

[Pithy Cherub]

11. LOL! You should offer fighting techniques

in this forum and tissues and therapists on the other. Cracking up!

[DulceDecorum]

51. And speaking of fighting techniques..........

You may have defeated my Southern Hook Palm technique,
but can you defeat the 1000 styles of Rumsfeld?

[gauguin57]

12. HEY! I suddenly can't post a message! It's saying I don't have enough

posts to start a thread ... but I have well over 2,000! Ever since the name changes on these threads, it's telling me I can't post. I notice everyone's post numbers say "xxxxx posts."

Skinner? HELP!

[MsTryska]

15. Same thing is happening to me!

I went and tried to make a bug report..but, well i can't start a thread, so i'm jsut posting where hopefully it will most easily be seen.

[Sushi-Lover]

13. This cracks me up :)

heh "fighting and acrimony", unfortunate components of normal human behavior.

[blondeatlast]

17. You guys are so good!

Thanks for giving me the first laugh I've had today.

God bless you for creating DU as well. It's been a lifesaver.

Vigilance.

[Love Bug]

18. Is this the place for the "Finger Pointing and Blame Commitee"?

Thanks for the laugh! I needed it.

[Pirate Smile]

19. LOL - Thanks, I needed that!

[Road Scholar]

20. Skinner, can you hold this site together two more years?

I know everybody is pissed right now, but this was a good thing, the site I mean, a very good thing. Thanks again for it.
:toast:

[Blue-Jay]

21. OK. That's some funny shit.

I needed the laugh. "FIGHTING AND ACRIMONY"! hahaha

[mbee]

22. Thinking people disagree and I applaud that, but I just can't stand

stupidity. As of today the states that went red for the creep are ones I will try to stay out of except for WV where I have to visit my family (Kerry voters)!

[CTyankee]

55. I actually have to fly to Texas

to see my 93 year old mother next month. I am full of loathing for the state now. My solace is that my mother has been a lifelong Democrat, having been taken to the polls by her father when she turned 21 and could vote and instructed to always vote Democratic. I just feel sorry for the workers in her nursing home. They work so hard and get not enough money, yet they are cheerful and upbeat. I know they voted for Kerry.

[Wat_Tyler]

23. I prefer 'GD: Bitterness and Recrimination' myself.

[Skinner]

43. LOL

I might steal that from you. Very funny stuff.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

64. GUFFAW!

That was FUNNY!

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Thank you. I am not leaving the house because I am afraid if I run into

...a repub I will kill them. Seriously.

[Redleg]

25. Then I'm in the wrong place. I was looking for solace and comradeship.

I'll be in the lounge.

[LVdem]

27. The masses have been duped...

I'm trying to figure out how to stop caring about america, cuz this really hurts.


FUCK

[drdigi420]

28. hilarious, even DU is getting split apart by Bush the Divider

the terrorists have won, even here

[Adelante]

29. Not a moment too soon

:thumbsup:

32. Illegitimati non carborundi

We can't let the bastards wear us down.

[Chimpeach]

34. i just have to say this....

F-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-CK!

(feel better now!)

[Bread and Circus]

35. Where is the forum for getting laid?

heh?

[TXlib]

36. THUNDERDOME!!!

Two enter... one leaves. (The other is banned.)

Can we get that forum? :evilgrin:

[jor_mama]

37. Did the minimum posts for starting a thread just go way up?

I tried to start a thread here and it didn't work.

Oh yeah, thanks for the support, y'all. :)

[Skinner]

39. Yes.

It's 250.

[jor_mama]

40. OK, I promise I won't put up 80 meaningless posts ...

Thanks for the info.

[shelley806]

38. Heh! Heh! Good move. I'm angry but also need tissues and therapy...n/t

[JNelson6563]

41. We should have had this in the primaries

a lot of excellent posters would still be here and boy we could sure use them now.

Great idea, "Fighting and acrimony page." I cracked up when I first saw it.

Julie

[truth2power]

42. Thanks Skinner. I'm grateful for this forum. I'm so angry.

I took my lunch today and went off by myself to eat. I can't stand to look at the pod people. They are contemptible. So many people where I work who are literally having orgasms just thinking about that mental case. I hate them all.

I hope their children get sent into the meat grinder. Why should I care because they certainly don't. The women where I work will give their sons and daughters to some goddamn pisser of a war...they'll accept the folded flag and then bend over and ask Bush to fuck them some more! More power to them!

[savistocate]

49. That is really rough truth2

At least here in CA. we did reject Bastards. Still wonder at times is this one of the radical RW. As many want to pet our dog, is that one _touching my dog_ cannot help thinking.

Not leaving the house..felt so much that. Had to do inside banking..let ahead three in line seeing the end teller I have sympathized with since she told me her son is in Iraq. I've asked how she's doing 5or 6 X since. I could not bring myself to
go to her window. Painful..dread of no hope of at least some
help. Lucky a big poster was hiding me.

[truth2power]

44. And another thing....

I was an election protection volunteer...assigned to a precinct with about 99.9% African American voters. I stood in the rain for 11 hours yesterday, along with lawyers from DC and Kentucky who came to help.

Over 1100 people voted at that polling place; nearly 100% of those registered. I saw an elderly African woman, all bent over, walking with a cane into the polling place, IN THE RAIN GODDAMMIT!!!! I'd say 98% of the voters were Kerry people. (From bumper stickers, buttons, what they verbalized.) They came in cars with their kids, in vans, in wheelchairs even.

They really gave their all and it came to nothing. Goddamn Bush and all the rat bastards in his ugly cabal!! :mad: :mad:

[Sterling]

46. Thanks

This is great. Can we have one all the time?

[DemoTex]

47. Hey! I'm angry but I don't want to fight.

Remember Vietnam? Make love not war. I just want to discuss the issues and then get laid. Is that too much to ask?

[alfredo]

48. Hey, if you want fighting and acrimony

get married, or in my case, visit relatives.

[fortyfeetunder]

50. BA HA HA

Great Job Skinner
What you should have written is

FREEPERS WELCOME IN THIS FORUM

[hertopos]

52. Dear Skinner we need a war strategy room

Help and support room has been really a help for me. I also finally cried yesterday afternoon. After that I feel a little better and my husband and I went to local (Baltimore MD) DFA meetup for the first time. It was very good and inspiring. It convinced me that DFA can be the one which counter Christian Coalition.

Anyway, it's time to act. At the meeting, we agreed the most urgent issue is 'e-voting fraud'. Yes, Kerry conceded. But the issue is bigger than Kerry. We also lost many more congressional and senatorial seat. Though our state, Maryland, did well, it is because Maryland State has been trying to stop e-voting machine without paper trail.

Media has already started their spin about why exit poll was so different. Make no mistakes. Even Zogby and Tucker Carlson admitted Kerry won. If we cannot change the tide within next two years, we will be lost forever though we are still actually a majority.

Please start 'Rage against Machine room' to organize the movement against e-voting machine without paper trail.

It is really urgent.

As one of DUer said, it's time to act. I already have started and I hope many more people will start soon.

Hertopos

[Catchawave]

61. Rage Against the Machine - I love it

Yes, we need to channel our energy into positive and productive WAR. Yeah, that's it, a Pre-emptive War for '06 and '08 !

[rbnyc]

53. I love DU!

I know GD has been split due to issues that aren't so funny, but when I came into the lobby this lunch hour and saw General Discussion: Fighting and Acrimony I got a much needed seriously good laugh.

You guys rule!

[aikidoodler]

54. Kerry's "concession" speech

In the spirit of fighting and acrimony, I present Kerry's concession speech the way it SHOULD have been said:

"Fuck Bush. I've got nothing to say that the smirking fuckwad would understand anyway. Fuck unity, fuck common ground, and fuck coming together. Oh yeah, and fuck healing while we're at it. Why don't you red staters go fuck yourselves rather than being so concerned about who OTHER people fuck? Fucking racist hill jacks! Goat-fucking bigots! This country is in a world of shit because you xenophobic turds run like diarrhea-plagued bunnies whenever your asswipe leader says 'boo!'"

"I urge the 48% of Americans who voted for me to move to the blue states where we can hunker down and ride out the shit storm coming our way. That way, maybe we'll get some Dems back in the senate in '06, that is, if Dumbfuck doesn't get us into any nuclear exchanges with former allies first."

"For the rest of you inbred, retarded sheep, you got the shit-for-brains leader you deserve. May you rot in the hell of your own making, you pathetic mewling pukes. "

[ChiciB1]

60. HEY THERE!

Basically, I'm with you and I think exactly like that. The full brunt of things didn't hit me until late last night and then I couldn't sleep until I took about 4 Ambien.

However, we must remember Kerry is STILL a Senator! I think he wants healing... but that's not really posssible. THE ELECTION WAS A FRAUD! The other bad thing about it is if anything happens to Bush... we still have Dick-HEAD! We need organization and Protest Rallies!

[Anakin Skywalker]

56. COOL NEW FORUM!

After yet another cheat by shrub, I am all ready to unload some serious anger at the rethugs. It's nice to know there is a place for that.

[ChiciB1]

57. I NEED HELP!!

I would like to post a NEW IDEA or THREAD but am new to this site. I have posted about 30 times through other threads, but I have an Idea I want to get a reaction to.

Can anyone help me??
Thanks

[Bluebear]

58. The title of this forum is really starting to be quite divisive!

[ChiciB1]

59. ANTI-BUSH RALLY!!

I just found out that I can't post a new thread here unless I have posted at least 250 times. I'm new to DU, but I don't even know HOW to post a New Thread. I need help on how to do this if and when I can.

Now I have an Idea for a Thread. What about organizing an ANTI-BUSH Rally on Inauguration Day. I don't know if this is legal, but maybe a day before or a day after???

I live in Sarasota, FL and they just re-elected The Witch as my Congressperson! I think it was Rigged, I think the whole election was Rigged in fact. I was out working holding signs, meeting with people, the whole ball of wax. She wasn't very popular and got re-elected. I keep running into people who are devastated by her re-election.

If the Presidential Protest isn't possible, then how about my fellow Floridians getting together and having a protest against Jeb Bush?? The ACLU has filed a suit against the Supervisor of Election here, Glenda Hood!

What Do You Think???????
