obama endorses mosque at ground zero

[Sleazy]

funny that this is actually a serious political issue. what possible legal reason could be given to defend preventing this from happening?

[chuck d]

Yeah get rid of the marriage tax incentive too.  You're exactly right about it is what you make of it.  So is faith.  Like you said, you don't need the law to decide that you're going to be with your wife for the rest of your life, you just have to be with her.  You also don't need an institution to tell you how to read some scriptures.

Anyway...

Personally, I think any building of worship should be illegal,

I'm fine with them, but there are some that get away with tax-exempt status that certainly shouldn't.

along with any marriage.  Why do we institutionalize things that are supposed to be most personal to us?

You get good deals on taxes and stuff. But having said that, marriage is what you make it. My wife and I considered ourselves married years before we "technically" were, we went to the Justice of the peace mainly so the folks wouldn't pass on with their kids 'shackin' up," but that's more of a southern thing (I think).

Narcissus: Ok, a skate plaza might actually be sick, but it would probably be attacked even more ferociously. Luckily, skaters have beaten Palin before.

I think the shacking up thing is actually just kind of an old fashioned thing. My parents were pissed about my sister living with her boyfriend before they were married and actually used the term "shacking up" when I asked him why he wasn't happy that they have decided to be more serious in their relationship.
I don't think old folks realize the younger generation actually fuck just as much no matter where they live

holy crap, those girls might be the biggest trolls ever. they cannot be serious.

Yeah, I definitely dig on the tax incentive, but I've never looked into the history of it. If marriage ever did get dissolved, me and the missus would probably just incorporate. haha
I dig on what you said about the institutions telling people how to read scriptures and the faith stuff... before I realized I had deconverted (it was slow and something I wasn't really aware of), I had personally gotten really disillusioned with the whole institution bit. At one time, I was the type of dude that would debate today's me until I was blue in the face, then I got more into the "it's a personal thing, and I'm not a fucking preacher..." and on and on.

Politically, the best move he could have made. He supported the constitutionality of it, but stayed out of the emotional argument. He has Democratic senators in some red states he has to lend a hand to pretty soon. Removing himself from that argument and sticking strictly to his professional opinion was all he needed to do.

They probably aren't. But if they are, it makes me so happy that I'm not a Christian anymore.

Suddenly, for defending the first amendment, a sect of my family believes I worship satan and I'm unAmerican. It was sad for the moment before I realized I could give a fuck what dumb people think. I can't believe 70% of the country really thinks this is the most horrible thing in the world. I want people to get back to work so they have less time to be stupid. Not to be all Gipperish and absolute but if you think there is any reason to stop this, please go somewhere else. You don't deserve The Bill of Rights protecting you.

I never fucking understood that shit. Most of the Republicans and all the Tea Party bitches complain about how Obama is taking away their freedom, rights, etc. Yet, they're against the idea of freedom of religion, which is part of the first amendment, as you stated.

Earlier today, I was watching Good Morning America, but I don't know if I heard correctly. I think the mosque is being moved. On a random note, 18% of Americans believe that Obama is Muslim, compared to 11% from last year. Also, some guy, who was an advisor to Bush, who lost his wife on 9/11, even saw how fucked up the situation is. He said that Muslims have a right to build the mosque and it's wrong to deny them just because of some extremists.

[Omamori]

Wow can't believe they are moving it, I don't see any problem with it near the 9/11 attack. I can understand how some people would be pissed, but I mean if we were fucking with the middle east you can't expect them to be pushed around forever. I basically have the same view as Ron Paul when it comes to the war. GTFO and leave them alone.

hahahaha, amazing.

I'm not xenophobic, just misanthropic. People are the fuckin' worst.

Not sure why many of you are surprised that this is mad controversial (like Pappalardo threads on SLAP)...Just read some YouTube comments if you want heartrending confirmation that the majority of your peers are borderline or fullblown imbeciles.

Look at it this way: Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize that half of them are stupider than that.

Someone really outta round up the Dr. Lauras, the Dr. Phils, the Sarah Palins, the JRs, the Ann Coulters, the knobgobblers, the BASED COLEs, the Elisabeth Hasselbecks of the world and slap them with a sock filled with batteries.

They're embarrassing the species.

[grimcity]

Yeah, there are talks about it, but nothing confirmed.

If they do wind up buying another building instead, then we're the scared anti Muslims that the batshit crazy fundy terrorists say we are. Maybe we can provide them with their own water fountains to drink out of too, so as not to offend any other precious snowflakes that are non Muslim. Goddammit.

Samuel Kornachuk it me, or is Obama's health care plan seem like a bad idea?

Samuel Kornachuk the new law states that if you do not have health insurance by the year 2014, then you get a huge fine. the law should be prohibited

[grimcity]

Ack, there's so much wrong with that FB thread.

[All Hail Wu Welsh]

What really bugs me the most about all of this is the people who are the most against it are people who aren't fuckin from New York, never come to New York, and didn't lose anyone in 9/11.  Hey dumb fucks from the midwest, New Yorkers have never given a fuck about your shitty opinions  and we're not going to start now.

Whoa, that was your 911th post...

Because Americans are the biggest hypocrites on the planet and it almost makes me ashamed to be even born here. We're ignorant, pretentious, disrespectful, and loud people. For example: If we build nuclear weapons, it's okay. But if anyone else does it's like,"Whoa whoa whoa! Hold on there, you can't do that! Only we can!". Luckily, I've educated myself so I'm not like clone zombie that does what the TV says. I agree with you completely, sweets.

sorry, dude- bill of rights still applies to everyone. it's no different than the rednecks who want the damn federal gubment out of their backyard on civil rights. i'm sure it's annoying but tough shit, that's how it works.

also multiple survivors and widows have come out in favor of the community center and their were muslims who died in the towers and as first responders. we didn't ask them how they worshipped when they gave their lives, we have no right telling them where they can worship now.

[jack burton]

Just saw some thing on face book along the lines of "Is tired of hearing all the controversy about the mosque in new york. Have respect for the dead and build it some where else."

lulzzz

This was pretty interesting on the subject.

Islam is only being showered with "tolerance" because it is the cannon fodder of Cultural Marxism in the west.  Soft headed liberals are the useful idiots of both.   

[grimcity]

You call protests and associating all Muslims with terrorism tolerance?

...or do you mean the other people that respect the Constitutional and free market rights these people have?

In this event, "soft headed liberals" are being more traditionally conservative than their philosophically inconsistent counterparts.

you are right Based Cole.   every country on earth should have massive stock piles of nuclear weapons.   especially Libya and Iran.  

[El Venado Zombi]

^You completely misinterpreted his point. No one should have nuclear weapons at all.
