I'm a visitor from the old GD-P forum, and I got to say, some of you

[hedgehog]

people here make our old flame wars look absolutely tepid. Where are the threads calling for kittens to be run over by trucks, though? After seeing some of the responses to Tim Russert's death, I figure there are kitten killing threads here somewhere!

1. What I want to know is why every incident that occurs has to become about us?

It's not all about you! (Not you, hedgehog)

2. .

3. Doesn't speak too well of God, does it.

How did something like that get to be a deity anyway? Sounds a fraud to me.

[baldguy]

4. God is really the equivalent of a 10-yr old boy.

Like the Squire of Gothos from Star Trek.

10. Men created god

5. Yep, and it's personally painful to to me see what people really think.

Makes you miss the old GDP because at least you knew what you were gonna get.

6. The "old" GD-P forum wasn't that old and DU is just acting like DU.

And DU nannies still find a lot of work.

7. Didn't mean to be a nanny, but after months of the snobbery about

the "mess" that was GD-P, watching people fight over a man who hasn't been dead for 24 hours really puts things into perspective.

8. Russert reminds you of kittens?

Are you nuts? Get a grip.

9. Heh. You missed the 'smashing kittens with a hammer thread' a couple of days go

I kid you not.

And of course it turned into a flamewar.

12. I hid that as soon as I saw the subject line

I can handle human abuse and tragedy just fine, but if I read about stuff like that happening to cats I become a useless crying puddle for the next 24 hours.

11. Here's a kitten thread
