What Is Happening At DU [View all]

It's probably me, but lately I scroll through 30 threads before I find one to click on.

I rarely respond to posts that cut and paste and then the author just walks away. I want to know the posters' opinions not some podcaster's opinion.

I want to see a debate today about why crude oil dropped 9% because once again we are being told that a peace agreement is on the doorstep. Who negotiated this deal?

My opinion about that is clear - Bullshit - market manipulation, and no I don't have a link, it's my opinion, I own it. If I am wrong and there really is a peace plan I will gladly publicly eat my words.

I do click on the animal threads, we all need some cheering up, especially me.
