Yes, there are Homophobes, Racists, Bigots, and plain old Malcontents on DU

[JCMach1]

and young malcontents too (don't want to be accused of reverse ageism).

What makes us different from the rest of the country? Is DU so special?

In some ways we are...


Well, one of the few things is that MOST of us are trying to deal with our issues and understand how things work. To a certain extent we are all victims of a culture that encodes messages of hate from the time you are small. Most of us, the lucky ones, can see through most of this and work ourselves out of the trap. It's not always easy, but that's of the things that separates us from the OTHER side. But face it, we are all in that same boat.

He who is without cultural baggage please toss the first piece of luggage!

I, for one, will wait until we reach shore.

1. Show me a person without baggage

and I'll show you a person who has never been anywhere and isn't going anywhere, either.

2. I don't know what's wrong with being a malcontent

Rather someone who's overly contented I would find problematic. Everything sucks.

3. I'm too busy cleaning up my own 'house' to do white glove inspections of yours.

... but I'll sure do my best to support your efforts. :shrug:

6. Exactly... not to be flippant... but I revel in

in bovicide...

I eat their meat!
Wear their skin!

7. Is 49 old enough to be considered a curmudgeon?

I'm not really a malcontent, and I don't consider myself racist or homophobic because I hold all people in an equal state of contempt until they give me a reason not to.

8. We are all racist, etc.... to one degree or another
