A Mosque by any Other Name.. Is Well... Less Controversial

[stickykeys633]

A Mosque within a 50-mile radius of Ground Zero freaks out America. Islamic leaders suggestion to fill it with illegal immigrant babies only adds fuel to the fire.

Additionally,

Palin "refudiates" classiness by getting involved via Twitter.

First off let me say, I get it. I really do. I get why even the most liberal and tolerant of Americans

I wonder if the Russians would allow the Muslims to build a mosque to celebrate their other great victory of recent years, the child-rape razzia and massacre at Beslan?

They could even have especially phallic minarets on the site of the school to symbolize the Muslims' favorite weapon of Jihad.

I wasn't aware that the Muslims that wanted to build this monument also wanted to install a Jihad Airlines terminal and sell mini figurines of the WTC. My bad.

"In other words, if we let "others" get too happy then we're going to be less happy."

this, so much. i cannot remember where i read it, but i remember an article on socialism and it pointed out that arguments against it boiled down to "if everyone is wealthy, no one is wealthy. if my neighbor has the same things that i do, then i might as well have nothing." america is trapped in this hyper-competitive culture bubble, in ways that are detrimental. there are too many people like this, who simply cannot be happy unless they know there is someone who is worse off and/or beneath them. they need to feel self-righteous, and you can't be self-righteous unless you have someone to judge. this is where the 'other guy' mentality comes in

That's one of the reasons I took this night job, so I would actually start blogging again, heh.

But yeah, I feel both you and Jen. I was going to add something in there about gay marriage. It's strange that as consenting adults they had to even ask "permission" in the first place to do something that was so common to everyone else. And now we pull it back and forth without any rational thinking trying desperately to hold control over the one section of euals that we have.

Prisoners are beneath us, but gays are on our level, let's see how much we can eff with them. IT's ridic.
