So in reading GD today, we've become what we made fun of at DU for years.
How about we maintain some level of integrity? -Post sources -Don't post BS from someone's blog as a sourced information -Don't blatantly misrepresent in a thread title -Read posts with some level of critical thinking Our opposition relies on lies and misrepresentation. We don't have to. Let's continue to be the good guys. Credibility will be very important in the coming years. |

People strive to be riled up by something, anything to make them feel like they are heard and important (once again, that knows no political bounds). When you introduce a platform to interject debate and opinions, it's going to happen. Look what has happened to Dave_A... he's been called so many names that I would have just given up on the cause of trying to achieve clarity and focus. |

1) This is the internet, alas its all bullshit 2) If your life revolves around what is said on ARFCOM and this is your only news outlet , it may be time to get outdoors and see what really is going on. 3) Some ppl take the internet WAYYYYYYYY too seriously. Like seriously, this isnt english lit were everything needs footnotes and sources, you either believe it or not, if you dont then search it out for yourself. |

When someone is trying to start a truly inspiring grass-roots movements that can be associated with topics found on this public forum (i.e. Gun Control Reform), this site and it's posts/content can be used to sway public opinion. Having 100 posts of "F*** OBAMA and his pet sheep" doesn't help any. Yes it's the internet and yes this is a general sub-forum, but take pride in what you do (not just for the funny or for attention). |
