179. I think the bar needs to be raised in GD
If you going to start a thread in GD, you need to bring something to the table...

It's hard to define, and might be really hard to regulate...but there just needs to be an expectation that if you post something in GD you'll have something of substance to say, a point that hasn't been made already by dozens of others in other threads, a unique angle, etc

I think there are lots of good posts in GD, but there are also a lot of "OMG I HATE BUSH, and OMG LOOK AT WHAT THESE FREEPER DID" etc etc that don't bring us anything new, or don't have and substance to them.

I think we're all here because we hate bush, and I think we're all here because we're outraged at the crap the right pulls...We're here to talk about it, but repeating ourselves doesn't lend itself to *furthering* the discussion.

As Jim Rome says: Have a take, and don't suck.

Anyways, thats my 2 cents.

Thanks for the site Admins, and all your work running it.
