Can I please ask for a site back that Only tells the truth

[4 t 4]

and brings back links. If it's just me I will go away but there was a time that I would not hesitate for a second to repeat what I read and or learned on du not anymore no way. If it's just me I will gladly go but if it's not I would like to hear from you.

[asdjrocky]

1. Huh?

[4 t 4]

I want facts not opion

opion is fine if you make sure people know that. I want to learn facts

[havocmom]

11. Hang out in an encyclopedia and not General Discussion?

[4 t 4]

48. Thanks I'll do that from now on

[Mike 03]

13. You can't make that determination now? After all these years of observing the internet

and media?

[4 t 4]

34. Not on du that is what made this site

so special. It was not just the internet

[asdjrocky]

16. This might be hard to understand, but this is a discussion board.

It's full of opinion and theories. That is what we do. It you want facts read a newspaper, or only click on links with news stories. (Even then, look out because some newspapers lie, as do some sites.)

However, I've never seen DU, as a site, lie about anything. I have the feeling you're pissed about something and you are being purposefully obtuse.

Silly rabbit.

[4 t 4]

35. What made it so special a long

while ago was Everything you read here Was true

[asdjrocky]

37. That is bullshit. No way everything you ever read here was true.

Seriously, what are you trying to acomplish here? Answer the question or I'll be done here.

[4 t 4]

41. No No way everything was true

but people would say "I think" or "I was told" but they wouldn't just state

[asdjrocky]

43. Ok, fine, have a nice day.

[stlsaxman]

50. "Everything was true"??? That must have been before i got here...

and that was a few months after DU started.

DU posts are best served with a grain or two of salt.

[4 t 4]

49. Thanks you've been here since 2007

thanks for the info

[Codeine]

61. And I've been here longer than you.

I assure you there was flim-flammery, douchebaggery, conspiratorial codswallop, misstatements, poor analysis, factual errors, and outright lies on a daily basis the whole time.

[Mike 03]

17. Are you honestly, seriously trying to say that at this time in history, you are unable

to decipher an expressed opinion from a fact?

Or am I dense and you are being rhetorical and/or sarcastic?

[4 t 4]

38. No I'm not but

now here people state things like they are facts. Don't do that if you don't know it to be a fact as best as you can prove. Like I can just say How can Barack be for missiles strikes on Pakistan just to come to find out he didn't authorize the attacks

[stlsaxman]

59. A few signs you need to see...

[leftstreet]

25. DU is the Opion of the Internet Masses n/t

[TahitiNut]

36. Prions result in opions.

[Hope And Change]

2. Huh?

[greguganus]

3. Wha? n/t

[uppityperson]

4. What? Are you saying that there is not enough links to prove the accuracy of what someone

writes? Perhaps LBN would be a good place to check since they need sources to post things there.

[Mike 03]

5. Well, it's always been this way here: You have to use your head and rational mind to

determine what sounds believable versus what sounds improbable. Then, if there is any doubt in your mind, you do private research on that which sounds improbable to determine whether or not it is "true."

[4 t 4]

18. M 03 you have been here since 2008

No it has Not always been like this. How would you know you missed 7 years. This is my point exactly( Well, it's always been this way here how would you know. You have been here for a year? This is part of the problem I am not trying to fix the whole site but come on you are brand spanking new and your goning to tell us how it's been

[uppityperson]

19. I think you did not read the profile you are referring to.

Comment Joined in 2003, left "for good" about eight months ago, rejoined before our big win in November.

[uppityperson]

58. Simply trying to clear up an untruth since that Comment doesn't=joined '08

"Joined in 2003, left "for good" about eight months ago, rejoined before our big win in Nov" doesn't equal joined in 2008. I thought perhaps you may have missed that part when criticizing someone for being "brand spanking new". Ironic on a thread asking for facts.

Not sure where you get the "mad" at you part, simply doing what you ask, telling the Truth.

[Mike 03]

22. No, I joined before the Iraq war broke out, in 2003. Thus the name.

Sorry, I should have reactivated my profile, if it is down.

It's not your fault, though. It's true, I left in March of last year. I made a new account.

[greguganus]

6. Link please.n/t

[4 t 4]

55. Oh it is So silly to ask for links lets just spout bullshit

and hope it is true

[uppityperson]

64. You ask for links, yet now say it is so silly to ask for links.

O. K.

[LoZoccolo]

7. Then WHO WAS PHONE? n/t

[4 t 4]

57. Huh?

[uppityperson]

60. How is a babby formed?

[SidDithers]

71. Yeah, well, I accidently the whole thing...

is this bad?

Sid

[uppityperson]

74. you must do community service!

[leftofthedial]

8. you should go to grad school

and stay off the Internet then.

OPINION is the currency here.

[greguganus]

9. It's opion, damn it! n/t

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

32. I wouldn't recommend grad school for that.

Fact there depends on whose ass needs kissing that day.

[leftofthedial]

51. here, everyone's ass needs kissing.

[4 t 4]

56. OH Really

I don't think for one second most of your fellow du'ers would agree with that

[Texasgal]

10. So..must all discussion must

be fact based?

[4 t 4]

46. That is not even close to what I'm saying

I am just saying fact is fact and opion is another thing. Why are you all pissed that I want facts. Have you touted things in the past you didn't know to be 100% true otherwise why are you so mad. I didn't say anything mean to anyone I just want facts is that so bad?

[Texasgal]

68. No, facts are not bad.

But this is a DISCUSSION board. People DISCUSS things. We have OPINIONS. We all KNOW the difference between the two. ( or atleast would hope so )

I don't understand why you took offense to my question.

[uppityperson]

73. Who all is "pissed" that you want facts? Who has said anything angrily here except you?

Why are you so mad?

[parasim]

12. Don't go away (since it might very well be just you)

... because we all need to know just what it is you are talking about.

[EFerrari]

14. Hesitation is a good speed to have. n/t

[Mike 03]

15. Fascinating thread for many reasons too numerous to mention. Rec. NT

[Ikonoklast]

21. Meh. That's just your opion.

And you are welcome to it.

[Mike 03]

28. LOL, that is why I love this place. Peace. NT

[Mike 03]

29. P.S. I Love your Icon. NT

[uppityperson]

24. Wide range here.

Incoherence to mocking to requests for clarification to mocking incoherence to incoherent mocking requests to clarificationing mocking incoherencing requests to something

[Mike 03]

33. This person has over 1,000 posts so I at least wanted to give the individual

the benefit of the doubt to explain him or herself. That's all. Believe me, I've jumped to conclusions way too quickly sometimes and regretted it severely.

ON EDIT:

Also, I've made my fair share of incoherent, passionate, misguided, messed up posts in my time.



I was looking for an "embarrassed" smilie, but could not find one.

We all put our spins on everything, so if you're looking for pure, unadulterated fact you're going to be very disappointed.

I am sorry. So very, very sorry.
