For the record I say let 'em build the mosque, let 'em burn the Koran. Exercise those freedoms!

That was just a relic of the ceremonial Blood of Rachel.

When I worked at Books-a-million one of the other workers found a used tampon in the bible section one time.   Sad

Do you think he's gonna go to the bookstore and buy the book?  Or do you get free other kinds of holy books when you're a preacher?

also, i'm in favor of letting them build the mosque... some people say it would be seen as a victory to crazed mulsim terrorists... well, in my opinion those people need a mosque near ground zero to hate and wish death upon the "infidels"...  I personally see it as an indication that americans have the ability to distinguish between '"muslims" and "terrorists"... so go ahead and build the shit already.


yeah, and you've said that before...my whole deal is where does it stop? 5 blocks is too close, is 10, since when did the government get in the business of regulating peoples feelings?

....

I don't think its measured by blocks, i think its measured by significant debris flack.  
 
Government has been in the business of regulating feelings for a long time.. Almost all economic policy is based on feeling see words like confidence, panic,  depression, etc. Hate crimes are nothing more than feelings crimes tied to another crime... Anti trust is a gut feeling bonanza, If two companies have the same prices they are colluding, if one company has lower prices he is dumping and if they have high prices they are gauging. You cant set a legal price you have to just feel it out. Were busy passing no bullying laws as we speak.

I mean, i honestly question how many people are actually "offended" because they don't think it's right and how many people are just upset because they don't want "muslims" in their country anyway...or because they think the "mosque" is actually at ground zero...etc.

 
personally, I don't care if they build the shit on ground zero... well.. i think there should probably be some sort of memorial ON ground zero, but I don't care if the mosque is literally next door... it's not like "muslims" ran airplanes into the wtc... a couple of crazed militants from a fringe group of muslims bombed it...
 
it would be like if they banned all military buildings from the OKC bombing site, because you know, McVeigh was in the military.
