  1. I’ve been told that Zixar is “intelligent,” and, that may be so – I’m not in the forums often enough to make that assessment. However, I’m smart enough to recognize a loaded question when I see one. Zizar posted the following:

    So what do you think? Is it all just par for the course? Or is GreaseSpot finally on the way out?

    Choices:

    No, it’s just taken another of its myriad turns.

    Not quite yet.

    Maybe. I can’t tell what it’s trying be anymore.

    Yes. It’s no longer the GSC I used to love.

    So, here I propose another loaded question – just to balance the scales:

    Some friends here have remarked to me that GreaseSpot has really helped them, and continues to do so. And, I’m hard pressed to disagree. 90% of everthing I’ve gotten out of this site has either

    a) Helped me reconnect with people who understand what I’ve been through, and understand where I’m coming from – allowing me to feel comfortable discussing things that are important to me.

    b) Challenged me to re-think things that were programmed into my mind by a cult

    c) Allowed me to just relax and enjoy a cup of jo, laugh and/or cry with people who don’t pre-judge me

    d) Birthday announcements

    So, what do you think? Is it all just par for the course? Or is GreaseSpot a really great addition to your life?

  2. Well, I think he has a very valid argument here, but I have a problem with the following:

    “When liberals argue for gay marriage, they make it sound like a really good employee benefits plan. Or they frame it as a civil rights issue, like extending the right to vote.”

    Marriage is a commitment of the heart. It has nothing to do with rights and privileges afforded by the gov’t.

    However, the legal license that the government (of the people and for the people – even gay people) gives to married couples has everything to do with rights, and so – yes! It is a civil rights issue.
