Ok.

When you see someone who is different than you, don't judge them. Do you know why?

Because they have lived a life that is different than yours.

They were popped out of a vagina...just like you.

Then, life got a hold of them.

They have not lived like you, and you may be just like them had your circumstances been different.

If you want to be kind, put yourself in their shoes, if only for a moment. Because life is tenuous. Surely you understand what I am saying.

1. Can you hear that "thud" of falling on deaf ears?

I think it's atrocious how the richest nation in the free world treats their least advantaged people.

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. Yes, I can hear it.

And that's the problem I have with DU also.

People can be STRONG without being pricks.

There are a lot of fucking pricks in here.

And I'm not afraid to say it.

3. Are you prescribing a dose of compassion...

in our dealings with our fellow (wo)man, Dr. Philboy?

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. It is more than compassion.

It is understanding that we are truly no different than the "scumbags", "drug addicts", and "whores".

We could be them in a New York minute.

:hug:

4. Wait..."popped out of a vagina"

I think there's more to it than popping them out.

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. Well I don't know....

Some guy told me that women just "popped them out". I believed him. :rofl:

Good morning flvegan.

[cbayer]

6. I fell apart at "popped out of a vagina"

Why do you hate people that were born by ceasarian section?

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. Geez...

I did not think of that. :hi:

[cbayer]

9. Love you philboy.

:hi:

10. I would like to think that is what separates us from the Repigs...

...most of us - Dems - have the ability to sympathize, empathize, and have a sense of custodial-ship for our World. That's really what makes us different from "them".

[LeftyFingerPop]

11. I agree with you....

but many many of us in here do not have that capability. And it fucking pisses me off. I know you are not supposed to slag off fellow DUer's, but, there are many in here who would not know what compassion looked liked if it walked up to them and pissed on their shoe.

Good morning Robeson :hi: :thumbsup:

[Robeson]

12. Thanks, philboy...

...:hi:

Right now is a crazy time on DU. I think when things filter through, a lot of the purported "Dems" on this site will be eating a pizza. When it's all said and done, it will whittle down to the 4 or 5 "Dems" that will be hanging around, that we will all be confused as to why they will be allowed to post. But it has always been that way.

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. I don't know...

See I have been registered since 2005 I think, but I was surely lurking well before then.

I'm not sure of the cycles here.

But I will tell you...you have always been consistent in my eyes, and I respect you for that.

I post crap here most of the time. But sometimes, I post seriously, like tonight.

I have a lot of thoughts about DU, and it disillusions me.

I will never post what I don't feel.

Thanks for responding Robeson...I hope you have a fantastic week. :hi:
