Wondering why I care.

Wondering why I care.

because you stand up for your principles, and have integrity, whether or not certain other people are happy about that.

[duncvis]

I manage not to care most of the time.

care to instruct the O Man in such useful skills?

 

[odeon]

A useful skill, I'm sure.

SAD, chronic fatigue and fun with pharmaceuticals have been my dream ticket to giving less of a fuck. About anything, much. win some, lose some. I might actually post about it but I think the time spent writing it would be mostly wasted (plus I'm pretty sure most folk aren't interested in hearing about my shit).

[Pyraxis]

A useful skill, I'm sure.

Dunno if this is about the profiles thing, but you know I don't have anything personal against you, right? Just defending my own principles.

'Twas the most fun the site's EVER been though. 

It certainly made the place entertaining to start with, but it seems to have driven a lot of people away- although really who knows why a lot of people don't post as often as they used to. 

I don't know about that. AND, the reaction that
I've gotten on other sites was, "Democracy? I'd
love to see that work on a web site!"

Pretty fucking rare. Probably worth using as
a recruiting tool - if it hadn't been killed.

[Calandale]

Yep, I really don't feel like myself today.

Sorry, folks. 

More fun than usual though.

i want to go to sleep

I disagree that democracy has been killed- we just seem to have gone back to the form we had before with elected 'officials' making the mundane decisions, but everyone retaining the right to set up a vote on issues they care about.

i don't think it's completely lost
still a democracy, just different IMO
it seems more of a representative democracy now
which in some ways is better
it's definitely easier than direct democracy anyway, especially on an internet forum

[duncvis]

 

I had hopes direct democracy wouldn't turn into an exercise in frustration and terminal nitpicking. *shrug* still, considering the magnitude of the decisions the staff here have to make, representative democracy with the ability to hold ad hoc votes seems pretty adequate to me.
