the digg patriots

Learning some actual facts and real world information would be a positive step towards exiting La La Land...but that's no likely to happen. So....the only other option would be for them to contribute something worth reading themselves. Oh wait, they might have to resort to using actual facts and real world information. Never mind....

hi jb have to think, early in the morning but can get my mind in gear here.Lets see knitting has already been used. aha quilting and get them all involved in making quilts for all the people who have lost jobs because of left and right nutcases messing up our US economy,and quilts for the children in places like Chooc like Children s Hospital of Orange County. Mostly little kids fighting cancers of all kinds. this way the right and left 'nut cases might actually do a lot of good for a lot more p eople than they have done so far.

ok, here is my realistic reply - ignore them, dont give them the platform. extremists are extremists. snarky reply - they can move rocks from one pile to another, then back again. Very tiring

I can think of lots of ways, not sure if they'll contribute to make the world a better place or not, but definitly more exciting than abusing digg. So, some suggestions. Trying to come up with things that both left and right wing nutcases could do together, so they could swap ideas and make friends and turn the world into a nicer, cuddliers and cozier place. 1) Hunt down the stupid people who try to blind pilots with lasers when planes take off. This would actually make the world slightly safer for the pilots and the people in the planes and the people living around the airports. 2) Hunt down people who take part in too many reality shows, wrap them up in cellophane and send them in to recycling. Not sure what they can be used for, but that'd hopefully keep them off the TV screens. 3) Count how many raisins there is in each packet of breakfast cereal, and make a statistical analysis. 4) Build plasticine dinosaurs. Sell them on e-bay and use the money to save the dinosaurs. This might be a bit late, but nothing's like supporting a lost cause.

sorry I shouldnt laugh but I cant help myself. Tell them to crochet themselves some plastic bags Some people have way too much time on their hands. Why not do REAL good instead of this.

Protest?

Let's see, how else could these nutcases spend their time...hmm... They could go for a nice, relaxing swim...in shark infested waters... They could take a bubble bath and use their blow dryer and/or curling iron at the same time... They could jump into the lion, tiger or bear enclosure at their local zoos... Relax, I'm only kidding! Well, kinda sorta...lol! Seriously, it has already been mentioned that the sensible idea of actually debating and discussing their opinion with those who disagree with them would never fly, I'd like to see them locked in a room with a TV on that only gets either Fox News or MSNBC - the opposite of whichever side these nutjobs are on. Of course, even that won't change them, once a nutjob, always a nutjob! Annie

smothering them with pillows usually works pretty well... I'm positive it does. :D

The best thing any left or right winger could do is to tell the truth all the time. That would be a refreshing change.

A more positive way to stifle a different opinion is to debate it. Let the people hear both sides of an issue and determine for themselves which is best.

Current social and political life is damaged by polarisation into opposing camps and a lack of any substantive reasonable dialogue about what is good for your society. Think of Al Gore's book on bringing rational thinking back into politics. I remember being surprised that he was getting such positive reviews for stating something that seems so obvious: politics need rational/reasonable dialogue. But sadly, it is the case that we have this kind of ideologically-driven, antagonistic, defeat the liberals/conservatives, politics.
