14. Let's do the math...
$20 worth twice as much in a Bush economy with a tanking dollar and plunging stock market....I figure I owe the dryer about $1.17.

23. It's definitely a running gag over there now. See, it all started way back when...
someone posted that they were going to be in New York City soon, and does anyone know any good Italian restaurants in the city?


Someone responded to that post by suggesting that there was an Olive Garden near Times Square that was really good.


Outrage ensued.

18. Who cares if the posts are positive.
How about a period where the posts have substance? I used to love reading these boards, but the content is lacking these days.

What gives?

27. substance is a better term than positive
I can go for that, it is literally four shitty ass threads for each good one. Some think it is best to get multiple on the same issue to make the stumble look worse. Now I am really off to the General Lounge, I heard it can be humorous.

28. Why, cause your candidate
is being pummeled currently?

;)

Actually, I have no problem with the suggestion. The primary wars are very rough at times on the supporters.

29. Obama is getting pummeled?
O.K., I don't see it that way, thought he had a fairly good week. He may be getting pummeled in the DU, but it appears that every candidate gets pummeled in here and some of the reasons are very weak. And I stand corrected, does not have to be positive but a bit more substance would be a huge improvement. Or we could discuss tips and how Obama hates old people.
