What would we do here? Will CD go blue-screen next Wednesday?

Seriously, I'm all for it. I detest whiners.

This place would be great if we could get rid of the cry babies du jour and let the grown ups talk for a change. Although that would only leave about 2 Republicans I think.

If this passes, 99.99% of the conservatives/Republicans/rightwingers whiners would be gone from CD forums making this a better place.

It has about as much chance of happening as them getting a life.

instead of working on legislation to fix the problems, he is trying to introduce legislation to stop the complaining?

shame on americans for complaining about rising unemployment and unsustainable deficit levels! naughty americans!

my guess is some of those congress people will be doing some complaining of their own when they are jobless.

Hey a day without complaint from either party would be a good day and something to be thankful for. But I do not view such a proposal as a partisan issue. Rather I think of it as just another silly holiday like secretaries day or talk like a pirate day. Sure a few of us may remember it on the calendar and not post some rant here in the forum but most of us would over look it and continue on our merry ticked off rantings. But if it makes a few of us feel better there is a day of refuge good for the holiday.
