NOPE BUT I HEARD ABOUT A MOSQUE SO LET'S BICKER ABOUT THAT INSTEAD

Because that's basically what happened.

I read somewhere that each completed mosque can produce an oil spill 5-15 years down the line.

I don't get the scandal over building a mosque next to ground zero.

America's been building ground zeros next to mosques for a long time now.

I laughed so hard I went into a coughing fit that threw my neck out. Bravo.

There actually was a mosque 800' from the world trade center, damaged on 9/11. They're still trying to repair it... It's very difficult to repair historical buildings.

I can't find a link to it right now, what with all the junk arguing about.

Americans need to fucking get over themselves. "It's not appropriate to build a mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero"? Seriously? Fucking Hell. My mother actually believes this mosque is supposed to be a trophy on the site of a muslim victory, because apparently it's common for muslims to do that My father is more sane in that he'll at least admit they have every right to build the fucking thing...

I think what the guy needs to do is come up with some really impressive alternate unit of measurement and use that instead of "two blocks." Americans have short attention spans, as soon as they hear it's being built "one league" away or "2,547 cubits" or something like that, they'll all be "God damned right, build over there!" when, really, it's the same damned site.

I can see why people would be offended. To which I would reply, "Get over yourselves, you big, flailing vaginas." Fuck, I hate people who complain about the offensiveness of something.

It's actually farther away than that.

There's a church inside the fenced in area at Ground Zero. I think that should go because Christian Identity bombed Centennial Olympic Park back in '96.

Thing is it wasn't 'Muslims' that blew up the WTC towers. It was religious fanatics. And their religion happened to be 'Islam', but the point is it's not all Muslims pissing people off, just the crazy ones.

So this is the part where I say what the fuck are they bitching about, and about twenty people tell me to suck a barrel of cocks without giving me a productive response.

no, you point out a valid piece of information. However, the people that give a shit about the mosque aren't trying to be compassionate, or anything like that, they've just found a way of hiding the fact that they don't want brown skinned people near their sacred murder site. That's all it is, people being intolerant over made up symbols.

Why would comparing someone to the sexual organ of the disempowered sex be an appropriate slur?

If you said, "It's not Christians that blow up abortion centers; it's religious fanatics whose religion happens to be Christianity," you would get smacked for making a stupid No True Scotsman statement. Please keep that in mind when you try to blargh blargh blargh about your politically correct bullshit.

the disempowered sex

Shut up. Right now. Do not derail this thread with your feminist bullshit.

Not really. Again, I don't really care but that's because I'm not easily offended, but I can see why people would get upset about it.

Ain't nothing politically correct about it. You know me better than that. So are you honestly trying to argue the core Muslim religion advocates running around blowing people the fuck up, or are you just trolling?

Because see, I don't like religion. Any religion. But I recognize that things like going around crashing planes into shit is not something that can be blamed on a core religion. It's crazy fuckers that happen to be Islamic going around killing people, and this is not a reflection upon Muslims as a whole. Why? Because I can separate objectiveness and subjectiveness to recognize that while religion can be blamed for much fail, this is not a part of what it is responsible for. Can you do the same?

Don't derail this thread with your insults about no true scotsman or whatever misogynistic thing comes across your mind.

In keeping with the new rules about real-world social issues, I will request that we get back to the topic of, "Hey, look, there was an oil spill and now nobody cares because the media sucks."

1) Roy, yes the Core Muslim religion is really about blowing shit up. Because blowing shit up is the best weapon, and the Muslim religion makes Jihad a huge fucking part of their religion, probably because the religion was founded by a Warlord conquering lots of shit and making people his bitches. So Islam started at a higher level of dickery than Christianity in it's core concepts, and we know how easy it is for religions in power to become even more dickish.

2) Crissa? Why is it appropriate for Koumei to tell Rogue Trader to suck her dick if it existed?

A: Because anything having to do with genitals is automatically funny, and genital based insults are the only funny insults.

Also, your sex isn't disempowered. Sexes can't be disempowered. Sexes don't have power in the first place.

this is why can't have nice things. dicks.

How dare you use a reference to the male sex organ as an insult Prak. For shame.
