Why I use Clipmarks
I started here hoping for meaningful dialogue; an exchange of ideas with which to broaden my understanding of politics, religion, environment and most importantly the people and values that people base their beliefs upon. Although I have found a lot of rhetoric, sarcasm, and fools, I have also found a lot of wisdom, considerate communication and discussion that although occasionally heated, seems productive.
I admit I do enjoy witty comments, and snark, and am not above using these vehicles of expression myself, I try to see past these things to the heart of the issues.
I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of topics clipped and of people clipping.
Also, it's an interesting little microcosm.

 Wow. Check it out at the source. I wonder why these folks from other states spent so much money to stop we Cali Queers from marrying, with Iowa and Vermont seeing no H8 $$? Crazy! Lot's of interesting info at the site.

No Problem With Gay Soldiers in British Military
zasel
by zasel  5-21-2007    1
 One of the most amazing pieces of info in this article, that you will read, if you take the time consume the entire piece online, is that the Brits are afraid to publicize its success with their acceptance of gays in the military for fear of upsetting the higher-ups in the U.S. government. This is appalling in my rarely to be humble opinion. Why should Britain or any other of the many countries who permit gays to serve openly in the military, keep their mouths shut about the success of their decision just to placate the homophobic bigots, such as Peter Pace, in the U.S.? Isn't the U.S. strong enough to withstand the fact that they might be wrong on a particular issue? I don't believe our country is so delicate that it cannot stand-up to the facts of the matter.

Oops! The word got out, throw him out again!
zasel
by zasel  5-13-2007    8
 So, the Navy welcomes back an exemplary sailor who they threw out because he is openly gay. Then they decided the really, really needed him so they ask him to come back, after humiliating him. He agrees to serve his country again. Then the military is embarrassed because the story comes out in the newspaper, and they decided in their ultimate wisdom to toss him out and humiliate him yet one more time. This time, they have humiliated themselves.

Gay Comedy Produced By Gays...How Unique
zasel
by zasel  4-22-2007    1
 Finally a gay positive TV show presented from the perspective of the gay sensibility. Will and Grace broke the mold and made positive gay characters possible on a mainstream television sitcom. But the show was essentially straight people talking about us, and showing an audience their perception of gays. Now we have gays presenting their own perception of who they, or should I say we, are. I live in Canada, and I cannot get this new channel and the gay lifestyle channel on her cable and satellite grid is not scheduled, yet, to carry it. But the moment I an able to find a way to watch The Big Gay Sketch Show, you can be sure I will be doing so.

This is the government Bush praises as being democratic.
zasel
by zasel  4-17-2007    3
 Where is the revulsion about this matter? We keep hearing how this nascent Iraqi government believes in Democracy, and yet, right before their eyes, a minority group is being murdered and they are in total denial. Why has the media been silent about this? Why has this question not been asked of the president during news conferences. Are gays and lesbians just not really important enough to be of concern to the president or the media? This president stands and defends this Iraq government knowing full well, that they are murdering people strictly based on their sexuality. Al Malaki is no better than the other murderers that are marauding the country and killing innocent civilians. Let's get the hell out of there and stop defending this government. If their democracy and freedom is important enough to them, they would be happy to see us go so they can make their own country work. Of not, at the very least they should renounce violence against ALL of its citizens.

 I have used BJUP for homeschooling and although I don't agree with everything in their school policies, I believe their statement regarding why they will not meet with this pro-gay group is very well expressed.

Gay Marriage Paradox
drjamie03

 Interesting idea...most Americans oppose gay marriage, yet don't want it written into the constitution because that would be intolerant? So it's okay to BE intolerant...just not to legalize it?

Hillary Needed To Be Reminded Of Her Feelings?
zasel
by zasel  3-16-2007    2
 I don't wanna keep belabouring this piont, but each time I am reminded of how Hillary had to be embarrassed into taking a position on an issue she continues to claim as her own, I find myself becoming angry. She seems to be so incapable of speaking off the cup, about anything that might be considered even remotely controversial, that she first has to go back, check with her campaign team, and then say what she is cleared to state. Very sad indeed for someone who wants to lead the country and the entire free world. I had such great hopes for Hillary, but the more I observe her as a candidate the more I am looking elsewhere. Richardson or Obama perhaps?
