Whoa dude... you need help...
Some1 who shows pictures of rape on a political forum has got no right to do so...sorry its the truth. If you can't talk about something like an adult or a calm rational manner then don't come here okay?
You catch my drift amigo?

Are you alright?
Posting pictures of any kind of rape is not acceptable / mature / rational at all!!
It's completely insane!!
You are mad... "amigo"!
Oh ja.... if you can't controll ur anger about something then you need help!
Feel free to post ur frustrations with society but don't result to primitive crap
"buddy". Only baboons / animals do that!!
"People" like you disgust me!

No dude.... don't get me wrong... i know it was just a cartoon... but don't result to primitive behaviour like a monkey. That is just not fair to anyone here.
But yes it was a cartoon but that doesn't make it any better my friend...
And i don't think you saw it actually

You can't build any restaurant there.
Oh.., we were the aggressors in Vietnam, not the Vietnamese.
Hey slug....1224.
Yeah, #3 got banned for spamming. Or something.
@ all:
The rest of my post still stands. Either discuss the topic civilly without offensive/insulting images or language, or refrain from posting. The Rules are quite clear about what is and isn't acceptable, and apply even in The Lounge.

Slug, i'm only 2 generations removed from Inverness...you know us scots are a stubborn bunch right? lol
Back to the topic...I think ground zero itself is not grounds for ANY sort of religious center. Islamic, Christian or otherwise, as iv'e stated numerous times.
I do however think that comments that insinuate all muslims want to blow us up is pretty unfounded as well, The vast majority have no wish to see us burn for being non muslim.
But if we want to push tolerance, i would refer to an email i received recently.
Build a mosque, next door build a church, on the other side, build a gay bar, across the street a jewish deli, next door, victorias secret, and next to that a small gambling establishment.
Most of the bases are covered and everyone gets to deal w/ something they absolutely hate according to their respective propagandas.

I consider myself a very open minded person, I am also very tolerant of differences amongst people.
Everyone is this country has a right to practice any religion they want, including Muslims.
With that said, I do not agree with the mosque being built so close to ground zero. Muslims need to understand, when it comes down to it, it was indeed Muslim radicals who were responsible for the murder of thousands of people on 911.
Nobody is saying don't practice your religion, we are just saying, please understand the sensitivity of the matter. Please understand the wounds are still fresh. Please have some tact and some class, please don't insist on having your mosque so close.
Nobody is saying all Muslims are terrorists, all I'm saying is try to think beyond your religion, try to realize the magnitude of what happened that day. This was not some tiny attack or something that should go unforgotten. Planes were flown straight into two buildings in New York, amongst other places that day. Two of the tallest towers were crumbled, thousands of lives were lost. America, and the world watched in horror as people Jumped to their deaths. Imagine how hot, how unbearable, and how horrific it must have been, the heat, the pain, being cooked alive, your only option was to jump, to jump, knowing you would die, yet you would have 30seconds of time where you were no longer in pain from the heat as you fell to your undeniable death.
There is a level of tact that Muslims which insist on this mosque being so close are missing. A level of sensitivity that is absent. A brash strong persistence, that honestly is somewhat scary. A persistence that makes me sit back and reflect for a moment, is there an ulterior motive? Is there some kind of statement being made? A hidden agenda? A hidden message? We will build this mosque here no matter what, our mosque will serve as a symbol, a symbol that 911 ended in victory after all? These questions must be asked, when the insistence to build is so strong, especially amongst a city, a community, a country that says please take it somewhere else.

The issue now is beyond the Mosque, the issue now is all those stupid protestors that are still standing there ruining everyone's day. You can tell who the people are that dont work... the ones standing there month after month ranting about a inane issue instead of being productive and contribuiting to helping the economy get back on track.
