Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Hey there, America. How are you doing?

  I'm just checking in because, well, you seem a little down.

About how 50% of you don't like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to the point that you want to abolish it?

 Like 75% of you have no interest in a little national expansion into Greenland.

And then there's President Donald Trump. Remember him? The guy so many of you voted for in 2024? Well, now it turns out, 60% of you don't like him.

 Also, back in 2024, about three-quarters of you told pollsters that you trusted government health agencies, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But now only 60% of you do.

You're upset about us bombing Iran (59%). You're not pleased with tariffs (60%). To top it off, the number of you who are optimistic about the future is at a nearly 20-year low.

OK. I have an idea. Instead of dwelling on the gloom and doom, let's talk about positive things. For example, what is it that the United States is doing that makes you proud? What are the things you like about our country? There's musician Bad Bunny, for example. You told the pollsters you like him.

Hmmm, what does SNOWFLAKE like about the country?
