I come here because it's filled with like-minded intelligent people. We always find a lot to disagree about and can have very lively discussions. I also like it when someone presents a point of view that hadn't occurred to me.

Because of DU I have changed my opinions on the decriminalization of marijuana, notification of parents of pregnant teens who want an abortion, and many other issues. I've gotten educated about subjects that I never believed were overly important.

There have been times I came looking for a fight, but it quickly dissipates because of the friendliness and the fun that can be found.

Also, I have found fellow DUer's as giving as they come. The willingness to help others is profound and moves me.

I've been frustrated to such degrees that I've left for long stretches and one time I honestly didn't think I was coming back, but I did. I always do because of all the things that DU offers.

So, what brings you here and what keeps you here?
