I give up: What's the difference between the DU Lounge and

[Haole Girl]

General Discussion?

[Haole Girl]

1. So, if we are in the lounge, does that make us Lounge Lizards?

Just wondering? :)

[qnr]

2. The lounge is a hyperactive puppy, GD is a psychotic chihuahua n/t

[Haole Girl]

6. Thanks for clearing that up :-)

[TimeChaser]

3. The Lounge is a much happier place

GD can be scary :scared:

[ghostsofgiants]

4. GD is for serious discussion and flame wars, the Lounge is for...

Dicking around, and sllightly less frequent flamewars. And celebrity gossip.

[Haole Girl]

10. I see

So, the lounge is like the off-off-topic, and more "casual" place?

[riona]

11. And, we aren't required to make any sense.

[havocmom]

22. Don't need no pants neither

;)

[leftofthedial]

5. sex threads get locked quicker in the Lounge

[Deja Q]

7. !

:spray:

[hfojvt]

8. for one thing

[ornotna]

9. Post this in GD

You'll find out. :popcorn:

[Haole Girl]

13. I don't want to be banned just yet anyway! :-)

[Fenris]

12. GD is for posting threads relating to politics

and/or current events. There is somewhat of a gray area with regard to some threads, but in general that is the criteria.

[Susang]

18. Have you been in GD lately?

Just askin'.....;-)

[Fleshdancer]

14. lol, seriously?

well, aside from the sad attempts at creating a sex thread, the Lounge is usually much nicer, more silly and less political...and we post pics of ourselves at night when we're bored. :D

Welcome to the Lounge!

[Haole Girl]

16. Sounds like a nice place to hang out

thanks for all the responses. I better go and get started with my day, since I have been procrastinating. I'll check back and see what's hanging in the lounge later, though.

Thank you for the warm welcome! :toast:

15. Seems like the Lounge is more relaxed.

People seem less likely to jump down your throat for a differing opinion. I've seen GD discussions where people are attacked for what (to me) seems to be rational, progressive thoughts on a subject by those who vehemently defend their Neanderthalness.

17. More down to earth in the lounge

I actually think while we are infinitely mroe silly in the lounge we also have a lot more common sense.

[khashka]

19. OK.

The Lounge - we spend half our time being stupid and the other half saying how much we love each other. Which is amusing and sweet. (Except for the dumb jokes!)


GD - Make sure you have sharp edged weapons. It's a knife fight.



Not that we don't slice each other up in the Lounge. But unlike GD, we know the best part of a fight is when you kiss and make up afterwards. And our sex threads are better :)

20. Those two halves are far from mutually exclusive.

I'm at my most stupid when I'm at my most 'loving'.

[havocmom]

21. about 20 TPH

:evilgrin:

[trof]

23. Don't have to wear coat & tie in the Lounge.

I'm pretty sure.

[Arugula Latte]

24. In the lounge we cover many burning issues of our time, including:

Oasis -- How much do they suck?
Kudzu -- How long can it live?
Olives -- Love 'em or hate 'em?
Kitties -- How amazingly adorable are they, anyway?
CaliforniaPeggy -- When's she gonna drop another "F" bomb?

and so on...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. The Lounge is actually fun.

:D
