I love the older lady family members who look me and are like, "Why don't you go help Aunt_____ in the kitchen?"
Translation: "It is your feminine duty to put down those playing cards, get off your ass, and get some cooking done!"
Sorry everyone, this girl cannot cook.

Uncle Gary is thankful He's been Sober for 16 years and doesn't have to spend His money on Scots' Whiskey(proper spelling, by the way) for a bunch of Drunken Assholes...Screw the triptophan, Please pass the Cannibus Stuffing...BUUURRPPP!
Seriously, I'm thankful that all the "misfits" in My Girlfriends Family are getting together to avoid all the "normal" peoples bullshit this year, because since My Dad died, (this summer) I've told ALL the rest of My so-called relatives to bugger off, and I didn't have to see their dumb-ass Repugnantblican asses...YOU CAN'T MAKE ME STOP BEING OVERJOYED THAT BARACK WON!!!...More Stuffing, please!!! - 3 years ago

You know what? you are right true. I can just vote without responding!
Urban Gypsy, sorry for getting testy, but I don't like thinking somebody else's hard work got flushed down the toilet because somebody saw my name attached to it.
Just paranoia, I guess.

papa, if you are so all-fired sure that submissions get canned here because members don't like you personally, then just vote on them without making a response.
I do it all the time.

papa, Urban Gypsy is right on this. If you do away with the voting apparatus then you really are just sapping the life out of Current.
Besides, and we all KNOW this. Current Staff has the FINAL say on submissions anyway.
They aren't going to let crap hit the air. They ARE the Gatekeepers!
Trust them!
Besides papa, you said after this election that you were going to trust people to have enough common sense to pick what they want!

YOU can do as you please. This voting apparatus is nothing more than a battlefield where people aren't voting on the merit of a submission.
Their just voting because they like or hate a member.
If you DELETE your account I will come looking for YOU!!

I don't know what Current is about to you. I certainly don't vote because I like or dislike a member.
I don't CARE what other people on Current say. I never hold a grudge against other members, and anyone that does is a sensitive pussy that is taking things too personally.
I would disagree about that members only vote for submissions for members that they like. I don't know if you do... but I don't.
What you just brought up HAS NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND... that people vote up or down because we like or dislike a person. I HAVE NEVER voted an article up or down because I felt that I liked or disliked a member.
I don't know people in Current enought to hate anyone here...

Reverend_Papa_Bear:
But it does happen Urban Gypsy. Submissions here sometimes DO get voted down because they don't like the members who respond to the submission, as opposed to hating the submission itself.
Papa, you are full of it. Are you feeling guilty because another member asked us to NOT use their submissions as a battleground?

I'v seen several people here mention something about Current Staff making the decisions about what gets put on TV.
If they take down the voting apparatus and people no longer have any say in what they want put on TV, then what would be the point of Current TV? Isn't the idea behind it that it is supposedly viewer controlled?
If they take it down and start controlling what gets put on TV without me having any say then I'll delete my account in protest as would many other people.
If I wanna watch a normal channel where I have no choice over what gets shown then I wouldn't be watching Current in the first place...

I also agree. You know what happened papa. They voted down one submission we liked, and then they voted up this submission making socialexpert a target.
It's time to do away with the voting altogether and just let the Current Staff be the Gatekeepers.
Their doing that now anyway.

Current isn't about a pack of trolls coming in here and just voting down or up anything they choose.
We probably lost TWO good submissions because of it, and I am including this one as well.
We aren't helping friends if we draw nasty elements to their submissions just because they want to make the Network look bad.
It's a shame, but that's the way it is.

Hey look, I've personally made very good submissions myself that have gone COMPLETELY unnoticed before about very interesting and important things.
I've never complained that I thought that another person's article was stupid or pointless. Many are, but that isn't the point. If your article doesn't make it on TV, well TOUGH shit. I've had plenty of good articles that haven't made it on TV...

Friends, let's not drop down to their level.
I am making a suggestion to Current to just drop the voting apparatus altogether and just let Current Staff pick submissions.
It will put an end to all of this.

On the November 9, 2008 broadcast of NBC Sunday Night Football, Madden responded to a fan's sign reading "JOHN MADDEN, BRING BACK TURDUCKEN" by calling his fixation with turducken "a thing of the past," stating that he would return to a traditional turkey for successive Thanksgivings.
