Gregg Gutfeld Says He Plans to Open Gay Bar Next to Mosque

4 years of it will do that. Sounds like you have a pretty simple minded world vision...but I wont go into that. I'll let you have your safe version of everything is rosy and those extremists wont get worse here. oh...wait...thats why we are HAVING this discussion...

I'm glad I don't share in a worldview where law abiding Muslims exercising their legal rights to build a mosque is tantamount to "the extremists getting worse." If that's "simple minded" so be it, but it isn't. What is simple minded is treating all people of a world religion as if they are represented by a small group of criminal extremists, and that kind of attitude is precisely what the terrorists wanted. So, congratulations, VM, on letting the terrorists win-- or at least beat you. I, however, do not want to give in to the evil plot of bigoted extremists of either the Islamic or Christian variety.
 
That's how I feel about rap
I think those clowns who think it's cool to drive down the street in their cars with rap coming from the trunk ought to be horsewhipped.

Dear Jebus, I've turned into "Get Off My Lawn" Guy ...
 
It's probably trauma-related. It happens. Sometimes people flash back to a traumatic event, for reasons they can't entirely control. 9/11 was a highly traumatic event.

Ive attended Muslim prayer meetings. I have no problems with muslims per se. Get rid of the ones that are out there slaughtering innocent men, women, and children, and hell, let em move in next door.

Unfortunately there is this leeeeeetle tiny problem with regard to some of those folks...they actually think that their religion teaches it is acceptable to rape infidels, to saw of the heads of children while chanting praise to their god, that its all justified.

picking up pieces of people will influence you just a little bit. but you will notice...I DONT judge them all the same...I just know that those extremists will use this as a means of creating more evil.

What If I like to treat ALL people of ANY "revealed" religion that prothlesizes as if they are represented by a large group of criminal extremists?

Then you can sit over here by me, and make fun of all of them.
 
Just wait until you turn into "Slow down you moron" dad.

Hey Hey now..

I yelled that at a guy last night who drove his vehicle within a foot of me while I was talking on the roadside to a parent.
 
Just wait until you turn into "Slow down you moron" dad.
I already pulled the "sitting too close to the TV will mess up your eyes" line.

Might as well just get the orthopedic shoes, hike up my pants and just accept the inevitable.

I gladly accept the award. And now...for my acceptance speach...

Jihadist Video Shows Boy Beheading Man

KILI FAQIRAN, Pakistan (AP) - The boy with the knife looks barely 12. In a high-pitched voice, he denounces the bound, blindfolded man before him as an American spy. Then he hacks off the captive's head to cries of "God is great!" and hoists it in triumph by the hair.

Allah Akbar indeed...

Like I've said before, I disagree with that, but for different reasons. But if this is your stated belief you should really examine it, and see if it's accurate. Does every other "revealed" religion get your blood boiling the way Islam does? Are you protesting churches as well as mosques? If so, then I commend you for your principled stand as much as I might disagree with it. It is still unfair and small minded to paint all people of faith with such a broad brush, however I do not think this view has the same overtones of racism and xenophobia.
 
Do you even have to ask. You can just think of me as the cool chick in black who smokes behind the school and scares people a little bit.

Pfft, you ain't as cool as me!
 
I have faith that the American system is strong and balanced enough to render them largely impotent.

Dare to dream, baby...dare to dream. personally? I think Americans are so lulled by their sense of superiority and 'tolerence' that they go through life with their eyes wide shut.

I HOPE I'm wrong and you are right. I TRULY TRULY do. I think some of the video of extremists training right here in the good ol USA are a little worrisome...but...thats just me...

Yeah, all that "tolerance" and "freedom of worship" and "Constitutionally protected rights" stuff is going to be our undoing...:roll:

Actually, I "protest" neither.

Protestors are also of my list of people to sit back, smoke a cigarette, and laugh my ass off at...

****ing pansies

Let's make fun of hippies, while we're at it. they're begging to be mocked.

The world is FULL of dicks. Dont be a dick. Show me where I have said we should stop the mosque. Show me where i said they SHOULDNT have the right to practice freely. Show me. All I said was that it made me want to puke. Did you see me say..."It made me want to puke...so...I grabbed my flamethrower and burned that mother****er down"?

No. I didnt think so. So...you might want to consider that beofre you whip out your tiny little "look at me Im the very model of tolerance" dick next time.

I apologize if I mischaracterized your argument. If I was mistaken about the implications of your "made me want to puke" line, then you'll have to enlighten me as to what else it possible could have meant. I must have missed the part where you said, "it made me want to puke, but I respect their right to worship as they please."
