I hear that Facebook is seething with controversy, and with acrimonious comment wars, over the US Supreme Court's deliberations regarding DOMA (the Defence of Marriage Act), and with all the attendant controversies over same-sex "marriage", and all the familiar debates over those loaded, question-begging, and loosely-bandied-about terms, rights and equality. Much "unfriending" is going on, and some people have decided to avoid the site over Easter as a direct consequence.
This is exactly why I left Facebook. So glad I did now!
Leave it to facebook for half-baked "well thought" arguments of such an issue. It's cliche after cliche ... talking points and generic opinions that they got from NYT, CNN, WashPo etc.
