I never guess right,but I love them.

I just read that thread and got a little sick at my stomach...

Take some comfort in the fact that it's the same cast of retrograde characters it always is.

the howls coming from the religious right as they realize they're on the wrong side of history and that makes me feel better. If that doesn't work I try to think about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.

Sea can start an OP about how yellow snow is bad to eat. It would be fun to watch certain people defend eating yellow snow.

you all....

we have wondered just how they would split that one up.

that where I live we never have snow. Much less yellow snow. Therefore, I have not seen it, it does not exist. So I should not concern myself with it and no one should ever discuss it evernever again.

for your listening pleasure.

thanks for that video. look at those hairstyles, lol

snowblind, ... so fuggin funny. how did you dig that up.

LOL. As I was reading that thread, the song came to mind. I have been a rock and roller since I 1st heard Queen on the radio, when I was about 12.

Hey, don't laugh at those hairstyles. I probably had a few of them myself.

"I love yellow snow" position.

There seem to be so many telling us what we can/cannot discuss, telling gay posters that they don't face that much hate, or mocking black people for being offended by something. Did people here start turning on others since Bush left office (thereby taking away our main opposition), or has it always been this way?

But you can still read the thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4580035

I don't know that they do that. They would simply lock it. Also it was late at night. They weren't around. I suspect he self-deleted because he was sick of people telling him what they thought.

DOORS .... well not Doors but, you get the drift .... and Yes, Please Post your Art Thread

so I thought I'd ask if I am overreacting...lately, I'm feeling discouraged.

and No, You are not overreacting.

I am pretty sad about what I am watching and, I feel pretty left out of the loop. I guess the PM Brigade is out in full force.

Maybe that is a good thing.

I just don't know any more.

It would be nice to see something new.

Could be fun.

Post your art challenge - focus on positive. M0rpheus and I will handle the fools.

so they've moved on to the AA group?

Or maybe this is another part of the same exact thing - white male privilege fighting for life. They just move back and forth denying the problems of women and people of color.

I have no idea but it is sad, and at the same time maybe good for DU as a whole to see their true colors exposed. So to speak.

But the thing is - they'll be back my friends. Oh - trust me on that. Whatever the heck is going on here lately - they'll be back. Me? I have the joy of being a black feminist. Oh happy happy joy joy for me!

Grab a bottle of champagne and let's enjoy the moment of silence before the 'party' starts again.

Here's to the ones at DU I love!

?itok=Z3a3LP1y

we'll have a good time!

yes... a bottle of champaign. has been too long. and i luv the stuff. maybe, even if just for me. thanks

And Big D works or me!

not sure what the big d is, but, sure, i will toast to that. hey...

how is your hubby? give him a hug from me. just in the mood

Is wondering why I'm posting pics of Big D (DiCaprio) at DU!

i thought the big d was reference to the hubby.

i am not good with names and all.

I remain forever devoted to the same man.



DiCaprio. Pshaw.

Stringer Bell from The Wire, star of Luther, and he played Nelson Mandela is a film released this fall.

Namaste. ommmmm. 108 words. Oooohhhhhh

I meditate to that man!

You know when he first did the interview I was all that, not impressed. Over the ensuing weeks listening to him with different issues, I gotta say he found a special place in my heart too. Was cheering him on

What kind of priorities are those?

two sons.

Not to mention Paul Walker, may he rest in peace, who was really under-appreciated as an actor, I think.

The first Fast and the Furious movie has one of the better love stories on film, I think. When Brian O'Connor risks his entire career to make sure Dom Torretto manages to escape? That, my friend, is love.

a reference to the master's house under slavery. I am sorry to say I do see the analogy.

"downtown". I'm going to assume some would like to see HoF as a gated community only THE GATES ARE LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!!

essentially to stay in my place.

one of the few African American members of the site to "stay out of a discussion" on race because she was "out of her element."

I need to see this. Thanks.

NOT (sadly)...

The past few weeks has really "released" the inner selves of some posters.

You may well have them both on ignore.

deleted.

dropping the mic all over the place.

laughing my fuggin tush off.

i saw you reference about downtown. what is that. and love locking us in. that is too too truly. silly boys...

But she didn't know who she was saying that to. The poster she posted that to I'm convinced could be rocket scientist if she had the shot at the education. Brilliant woman and one who has very little tolerance for nonsense. Handed her ass to her!

I think I'd like to see what you're talking about. Maybe not, too.

Some really blind people in that thread.

"delete that shit NOW."

I avoid topics and trends that I don't like (and/or am not interested in.)

Remember?

twice...Paris version and London version...something I hadn't known until very recently!

Have to try to 'see' them both!!!

Louvre:




National Gallery:

I scratched my head and said, "wow, I thought it was in the Louvre, where I swear I saw it..."

along with London, with little success!

Finally got them both!

first posting, the one with the pointing angel.

Not the one on Jesus.

of this gift you give weekly. please, do not.

for a while there I felt like I was on a different planet all of a sudden. I grew more horrified as I read further. I wondered if I was just blind to the real DU and if so, what was I doing here? I don't mean to beat this to death, but I felt that "chill wind" blow...

wasnt hittting your radar. that is all. it took a while to progress to this point. now a person can not hardly not see.

we do not want the site to be this. so we do what we need to make sure it is not, one way or another.

some of us yell and scream, rant and rave. others bring culture to us, and are all about showing us classy.

hey. i have even heard of coldplay. but, i cannot remember any songs. i liked that. so not you. is it? but i liked that. thanks.

But I knew there was a use for this one someday It's kinda nice. Yellow and all

I am not well versed in art, and never comment in the threads, but I do enjoy seeing them. I think GD definitely needs some class that an art challenge can provide.

GD has become a cess pool of hate. Hate hate based on race, gender orientation ... you name the hate, apparently we have it

I keep worrying that I have a virus that keeps redirecting me to FR.

be hanging with a pack of pissed off tea baggers.

Really, you are right. Too much similarity to FR.

It was my favorite song when I was 9. Shades of things to come

My teenage years were similar in that there was too much death-- I was a chronic runaway, and lived downtown with male and a few female prostitutes and lots of street people just before AIDS hit hard. Then-- they were all gone, all dead. Took me years to realize how much that effected me.

I do know that kind of thing shapes who you are.

Hundreds of stunning works by Tamara de Lempicka.

Kudos and well done to the two juries. Thank you.
