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.

POPSThis is the government Bush praises as being democratic.

 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.

POPSGay Marriage Paradox
drjamie03
by drjamie03  3-22-2007    1
 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?

POPSHillary 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?

POPSWhy Should Being Gay Be a Crime?
TerranceDC
by TerranceDC  11-16-2006    2
 If Michael Savage is upset with the Catholic church, he ought to be downright livid if the United Nations adopts a resolution calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality. And when he finds out the resolution was offered by a black gay Frenchman? Well he'll probably call for the bombing of the U.N. and for the U.S. to finally invade and occupy France. What will be interesting to see is where the Bush administration stands. After all, they flip-flopped on allowing gay human rights activists to have U.N. access. Post-election, where will the Bush administration come down on this? Where would their base want them to come down? Three guesses, and the first two don't count.
