When the hell did we become a "satire site?" This is all Orrex' fault, I'll bet.

Damn you Orrex! ;-)

2. I blame Bake

His over the top Rush commentaries push this into the realm of satire ( that or someone was reading the 9/11 forum :hide:

3. Satire? ...

Well, you sure had me fooled. I thought this place was really full of Democrats.

Also, Dr. Strange, I think you're a little too quick to blame this on Orrex.

4. Actually there are two ways to see anything.

You can see it as satire, or serious. Dependent on what you think.


To see something as satire is the choice of the person seeing it, not what is said. It requiers a third component of comparison.

So if someone says there favorite color is blue, and you think it is yellow, then you will think they are discussing in satire, if they really do have the favorite color of blue, they are being honest, you just don't know it by the third component.


Some might think that the debt of beer and travel money to me is satire, that is to try and keep them from sending it. They don't realize it is not satire, and beer and travel money will be sent.

Although they see it as satire to keep them from facing the fact that beer and travel money will be sent.

Side note, the satire comment could also be about all the manufactured posts that are not true posted here and on TV. So not saying that comment is about me, however I am due beer and travel money, and that will be sent.

If you do see what I post as satire, and think that the beer and travel money will not, or should not be sent.


That is where you fail.

Side note, that is not the 'secret doctrine' It includes an ally. REally it does include an ally. So it is not all in the mind, as stated by Yoda, that you did not hear.

5. 'Satire'? That's defamatory! Sued the bastards for every cent they've got!

After all, we have a 100% record in law suits .... :D

6. They meant "Satyr". DU is the preeminent Democratic Satyr site.

7. I agree that Righthaven is unfit . As far as Orrex...

they must have "realized" his sig line and it went from there.
