> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Priam \* > Ummm yeah. Whats the attraction, folks? Is it like moths to a flame? “Oh yeah THIS time we’ll get somewhere. This time pedophilia, bestiality, natural law, religion, the birth status of fellow posters, etc. will never be mentioned! We’ll have a PRODUCTIVE thread.” So I’m an optomist! Wanna make something of it? 😉 Actually, I see it as part an parcel of the fighting of ignorance – **lissener** ’s currently active thread in GD has posts from a number of people who had their consciousness raised, including a couple who had bought into fundamentalist condemnations who ended up seeing things in a different light. And whether or not argumentation actually gets anywhere, remember the lurkers – if even one person reads these threads and ends up supportive of gay rights or accepting of one gay person as a result, it’s worth the time and effort we all have put into them. > [@](#): > > The only really productive threads about homosexuality I’ve read on this board were Ask The Gay Guy… Actually, I’ve seen a couple of others. The three “Christianity and Love” threads originally started by **pepperlandgirl** were very productive – and have a special meaning to me, because it was where I cut my teeth in GD. But your point **is** valid – we do go over the same ground _ad nauseam_. All I can say is, things have come a long way in the 55 years and 2 days I’ve been alive – and I guarantee that what we’ve done here has been one small but important part of it. Hang in there, **Priam** ; brighter days are coming. That’s a promise – and a prophecy! 🙂 ---

**Topic:** Fat people on welfare should be executed and fed to poor, skinny people who really need the protein. Discuss. I aim to please. 😉 Seriously, I think it’s really, _really_ rare that people change their mind during a debate. Opinions have something like inertia, and it takes time and effort to change them. If five years from now, someone I argued with today thinks, “Wait a minute, coffeecat had a point,” that’s a success. “The day is short, the task is great,” and all that. ---

No, it isn’t. I am neither Greek nor north-western Turkish in origin. Born and raised in the rolling hills of Northern Kentucky with a penchant for mythology of all sorts. ---
