Hooooly cow, there are some really, really hostile people out there.

It actually helped me because seeing how miserable they all seemed, it definitely made me want to be a nicer person and NOT like them!

LOL. I'll read down next time--prepared to leave quickly. :) - Politico is thought to lean right occasionally, bu

one would think, to satisfy that sort.

You know, scientists have identified people, what we all knew, that there REALLY are people, and they aren't rare, who dislike just about everything. They can't help it, even if they should try for some balance--because they need to rationalize why their dislike is justified.

I thought of some of the most negative on this board when I was reading about it. Count your blessings, right?
That's you guys' problem. Prepared to leave quickly. - That's why you (plural) don't learn anyt

No, what's scary is the amount of hate and - inability to stay on topic.

People aren't even talking about the issues--they're just bickering with each other as if they actually KNOW one another, but of course they don't. They're just strangers calling each other names on the internet. None of it means anything, nothing real or important is said, it's just back and forth, calling each other this and that, to the point that none of them probably even remember what the article was about. There will be 20 posts of nothing but two people typing "troll" back and forth.

If you call that truth, I guess you'd be happy there.

yeah. right. scary. - the scourge

Bachmann: Welfare Receipents Getting Lap Dances Bigger Problem Than UnemploymentFeb 18, 2012
The House and Senate both approved a payroll tax cut bill on Friday that would extend unemployment benefits through 2012.But according to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), the extension is hardly the bill's crowning achievement."They're extending unemployment, too, but the big thing that we get is no longer can a welfare recipient walk into a strip club and get money out of an ATM machine to pay for a lap dance," she told conservative radio host Mark Levin on Thursday night.

The Attack On Women's Rights: The Even Bigger Motive Behind Current Antiabortion Efforts. ByOct 21, 2012

Upon graduation, they enter a labor market that no longer puts a premium on physical strength and instead values supposedly "feminine" traits like the ability to communicate and collaborate, and in which women are outpacing men. "At a certain point in the last 40 years," Rosin writes, "the job market became largely indifferent to size and strength. From then on, men no longer ...

Why In The World Is It People Always Want To Dec 16, 2015

This town seems to have a lot of ghetto-y, trashy type people who always want to settle any type of dispute, no matter how minor,  by fighting.   Offering someone to  "square up" and beat the crap out of them. That's really going to prove or accomplish something?   Seems to me all it proves or accomplishes is that people are too ignorant or lazy to discuss facts in a reasonable manner, mu ...
