Will Chef Jim claim that we're better than Saudi Arabia? Will Batman and Robin escape the Joker's clutches? Tune in next week...
Some acts of protest can be prohibited if they are deemed very likely to cause an clear and imminent danger to people. Besides that I hear that the preacher was denied his permit to have a Koran burning day. Many cities and municipalities do have ordinances against burning objects in protests nonetheless.
When in the hell will we as Americans start holding ourselves to our own standards?..I don't care there isn't a Christian church in Mecca or some loons want to behead the South Park guys...American exceptionalism
bring a few Kegs of Beer those "God hates f&gs" people ..some strippers some cocaine maybe some midgets that can juggle
I agree that the scenario you laid out is a double standard. How many of the world's 1.4-ish billion Muslims do you expect to do something nutty? Would you consider said portion to be "the greater Muslim world"? Correct. It isn't any less true that your logic is a bedwetting one. So the nature of the building is entirely predicated on how they react to a bunch of hayseeds in Florida acting like pricks? I'd say that the bar for the builders being "interested in American ideals" rests at the level where they are willing to exercise their rights to build their community center on their property. Are you saying Rauf's sufis will go berserk? Are you expecting them not to be annoyed at a bunch of hayseeds acting like pricks? Last I checked, there was nothing inconsistent with American ideals about that (nor, for that matter, the hyperventilating numbskulls who are feigning sandy-vag syndrome over 9/11 in order to justify thinly veiled attempts to intimidate a congregation out of its plans.) I can pretty much guarantee you that the entirety of the western and southern shores of the Gulf will greet this event with an annoyed yawn.
I have no idea when I've ever said - or even thought - he wasn't ALLOWED to do such a thing (barring local ordinances). I absolutely support his right to be a complete ********tard. I just so happen to think he's a complete ********tard who probably deserves to go to his conception of hell for being a religious bigot. Please, I beg you to point out any post where I've done anything like telling anyone they weren't allowed to do something they are legally permitted to do. You seem to think you've got me in some sort of "gotcha" moment, all the way down to sarcastic pos-rep. I am amused. Also of note is the massive dodge your post was.
This is what did happen, with just a rumor about a Koran desigration. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5735F520090804
I almost feel like proving a point by tossing a bunch of religious texts including the Quran and the Bible into a pile and lighting them on file so religious Christian whack jobs can feel a kinship with their Muslim whack job brethren.
Muslims have something much more important to be mad about, like occupations of their lands by Western armies.
True Christians would forgive you and pray for you. These whackjobs would excersize their 2nd Amendment rights.
The head whackjob is starting to waiver.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/07/AR2010090705913.html?hpid=topnews
If the conservatives make a big deal of it, are they stupid too? If liberals are silent on the topic, are they too being stupid and hypocritical and bigoted? Not according to this guy: So in order to keep an event from happening, all I have to do is place an anonymous phone call and mention the word bomb on an airplane?
Oh, come off it. Political correctness for its own sake is a bunch of touchy-feely bullshit. This is not that. Given your attitude here, however, how WOULD you have things proceed? By allowing a loud group of rabble effective veto power over another group? What IS the solution?
Before one can burn one one would have to buy one. I would never do the former as the latter is totally out of the question.
That's odd. If it's "For the Cause", I'd think it would be NECESSARY to buy one. Aren't you committed? Besides, there are such notions as "misplacing" a "borrowed" item. You can do it! For Jeebus!
I don't know why I try to explain things to a guy who uses wikipedia to show me how I don't know the definition of a word, but I just can't help myself. No, you see, a Conservative who makes a big deal out of it, unlike a liberal, would at least have a principled reason to oppose it, unlike the liberals who are simply trying to make political hay out of it. Similarly, if liberals are silent on the topic, it would likely be for again, a principled reason, like the First Amendment, not as much for political reasons. I'm sorry that your simple mind can't understand context, but there it is. So now why don't you and Stanger go to your secret hideout barn and talk this over. Come back when you've come up with something new to say.
