17. Yes well it's the same with any subject
Edited on Tue Sep-22-09 05:58 PM by Generator
Ever been a part of a "moms" blog community?

You are hitler if you don't do whatever the other side thinks you MUST DO as a mother. It's the web. Anyone can say anything and that ability to be nasty and assume the worst and shout vile is just something the web brings out. That's all I know. I actually came to DU after being in a "mom" community. The mothers were FAR worse than the worst day on DU. Amazing, not? You would think there would be some compassion. And I'm not even talking about big issues like abortion or circumcision, just something like, heh, I preferred to a have a c-section and yes,I let my kid watch teevee. Well you deserve to have your kid taken away. It's insane. And that was with monitoring of the site and people "knowing" you. Open comments, forget it!

So I was relieved to come here let me tell you. And what I learned in talking to anyone that was right wing-I delved into the politics section-was that no matter how many facts you throw-it's pointless. It's ALL emotion. It has nothing to do with facts or making sense. The more facts the more silence.

PS About those blog comment sites-haven't been to them. Been to Huffington or Salon-but I consider CNN and the networks so biased-I don't waste my time. And it's so easy to call names. That takes no thought whatsoever. And it's even easier when they have someone giving them the names to call people. So boring. I mean do they not realize calling someone a Communist is a joke? They are living cliches. Which I know WE must respect because sometimes they have weaspons.
