It isn't like they are asking to convert Trinity Church into a halal grocer.

Originally Posted By Labuda "You're not acting like much of an adult yourself right now, Labuda.

I'm down with the part of it that says he wishes everyone peace, love, and happiness, but I'm not real fond of someone saying "oh, let's just not talk about it. It'll all work out in the end." I find that a very poor way of dealing with the world.

Originally Posted By disneydad109 OK, Your all right and I am sorry.Sometimes a joke is just that a joke. Try to not take stuff to heart remember where this is taking place,on a Disney web site. I am told this site is a few blocks from what was the world trade center site. If it was right there it would be wrong but how much is too close ? it easy for me to say but life does have to go on and there is a lot of folks who are not WASP's,deal with it or your going to have very unhappy life.

In this instance,there is no good way to argue in favor of preventing this muslim center from establishing at this location. We already know why some people are opposed to it, and those reasons cannot stand up to the light of day. In other issues, we already know why some people oppose gay marriage, but once again that pesky US constitution says what it says, and 'right-thinking people' find themselves on the wrong side of what it means to be an american. They don't care. For them, being an american is whatever they say it is, and it's usually built around jesus and the church. And they get resentful when they're told that they're wrong. But they can't very well counter with any valid points, so they don't participate in any discussions.
