Just once can you negative magnets IGNORE what the RW and the corporate media are spewing

[Lorax7844]

Just for today can you guys please fucking avoid all of the hate filled garbage? Can you just not post it? Could you other guys not reply on the threads with the most heinous of titles? Could you please kill the need to tell us what Rush/Beck/Fox/Corporate Media is saying? FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET UNCLE TEDDY HIMSELF, WOULD YOU FUCKING IGNORE THE THREADS ABOUT HIS WIFE OR HIS CAR ACCIDENT 40 YEARS AGO!?!?!

I find it very disrespectful to Ted Kennedy and his memory when I go to GD and see nothing but negative garbage, Seriously get a grip and ignore these threads. Just for today. Please.

1. K and R.

2. I agree. this is not the time to be spreading that filth.

we all know it's out there. let's leave it out there.

[Lorax7844]

3. all day we should post threads naming the good things he did

that way when people come here GD will do nothing but remind them of how Ted Kennedy helped them personally

[Cetacea]

7. That's is what they are doing on MSNBC. The MSM will follow suit.

Everyone has a story how Teddy helped them at some point in their lives, no matter which party they belonged to. Anyone outside of FOX and Rush will praise his litany of bills that affected every American and the kindness he showed to everyone he met, including people he didn't personally know.

Good idea.

4. Bravo!! I'm on board.

[DrDan]

5. your request might be a bit more effective without the

unnecessary, juvenile profanity.

[Lorax7844]

8. I'm sorry but it's the 21st century

no one cares about profanity anymore

[DrDan]

9. did not realize you were everyone's spokesman . . . .

[Lorax7844]

11. I'm 31 with a degree in anthropology please don't be condescending

I'm just telling you that you're gonna have to learn to ignore it.

Besides there are plenty of slang words in history that were once thought to be profane but now are in the regular vernacular. What is profane?

[DrDan]

15. so what does your education have to do with your immature use of profanity

Sometimes mature behavior gets results quicker. Do you use similar language with your Mother? your Grandmother? your boss? If giving a speech to high school graduates, would you casually sprinkle your message with your profanity?

Never mind - you probably do

[Lorax7844]

16. Actually I do

I don't curse around old people that might be offended like my f-i-l or around some bosses that I've had, but usually when I feel like cursing I do.

My mother and grandmother would agree with me.

[DrDan]

18. well - at least you recognize that your behavior/language is offensive

to some and in some situations.

[Lorax7844]

21. I think that profanity is valid

they are just words, why does it bother you so much?

[DrDan]

24. "valid"?

Well then, by all means, continue.

[ThomWV]

6. What the fuck are you taking about?

[sufrommich]

10. Wouldn't it be easier to just ignore threads you don't like

instead of trying to convince everybody on a massive forum to only post what you want them to?

[Lorax7844]

12. no

[FSogol]

13. You are the 1st thread I have seen mentioning the negatives. n/t

[ThomCat]

14. Do you really expect to dictate what people read and write?

Because of Your ideas of how to remember and honor a man?

That's pretty arrogant, especially because Ted Kennedy probably wouldn't want people to start ignoring republican attacks or stop fighting for what's right because of him. He seemed to believe, for the most part, in knowing the enemy and being able to see through their bullshit.

[Lorax7844]

17. there is a difference between knowing the enemy

and echoing their RW shit.

I am just saying instead of going to GD and seeing 100+ comments on the thread with the most vile title imaginable, maybe we could all post about the things that we respect and admire about Ted Kennedy.

[ThomCat]

29. Wait a minute!

So you think talking about the right wingers and there shit is the same thing as echoing their shit? You think complaining about their shit, debunking it, criticizing it is all the same as echoing it?

What world are you living in?

:wtf:

[Stinky The Clown]

19. With that phrasing you want ..... what?

"negative magnets"?

"fucking ignore"?

"hate filled garbage"?

"I find it"?





Have a nice day.

:eyes:

[Lorax7844]

20. You too

I'm talking about Chappaquiddick or his drinking or repeating what Sarah Palin's twitter fools are saying. Instead of seeing that how about we remind people about The Civil Rights Act, The Voting Rights Act, The Family Leave Act, etc. Use the time to remind people why Teddy was a good man and why what he did for our nation made ALL of our lives easier.

Kapiche?

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Do me a favor .....

Don't presume to tell me what the right thing to do is. Just worry about keeping the shit stains out of your own shortz.

And it is "capisce".

Capisce?

[Lorax7844]

27. I thought that looked wrong

Capishce

[spanone]

22. ignoring does not make it go away

[Lorax7844]

28. agreed but not commenting on it makes it fall like a rock into the obscurity of the archives

[Dinger]

23. Indeed

K & R

[undeterred]

26. Thank you.
