That post remind me of a post I once read on a comic forum some years ago.
The post read "I don't care what happened so long as the comic books are delivered on time."
What had happened was WTC 11 September 2001.
if your personal life meant you had unequal rights and was under attack by roughly half the (political) population, see how cemented your beliefs would be about how silent you should remain. i guess those who wanted an interracial marriage never should have said anything, right? just grin and bear it, let the decades come and go.... just live as an unequal citizen and hope for the best!
I didn't mention Hitler to be factual. Sometimes a better point can be made with Hitler over some noname. And sometimes people over analyze the point until it makes no sense.

Steve Jobs introduced the Apple Watch?
Is Barack Obama going to pop into that list too?
Hussein's too busy playing King
Tim Cook is certainly no Martin Luther King. I don't see many gay people being beaten up and/or killed by the police in the US. Don't ever equate racial equality with gay rights.
So you're saying it's for something that's not even out yet, to be released next year, and hasn't been a proven best seller yet?
Neither of whom were killed by the police

so a demographic has to be killed by cops in order to gain any social traction?
i guess getting beaten/killed in the streets by fellow citizens and being denied equal rights under the law isn't enough. your thinking on this is limited, dude. equal rights are equal rights. race is another tangent of the issue, sure, but parallels can be drawn without fully equating them.
and no one is saying time cook is a cultural historical hero. the list is about influence over the span of roughly a year - per the annual title. in one publication.
I am fully in support of gay rights. And I usually think religious people can be bigoted.
That said you have to be careful not to infringe the rights of one group when you give them to another. Life is grey like that.
That said it is quite clear that historically (and currently) blacks have been treated far worse than other minorities in the US and so deserve special treatment.
Obviously legalising gay marriage doesn't really harm religious people so that should be legal. But we do have to be a little careful with parallels for extras like cake makers. I would probably say they should have to make cakes for anyone if they are a for profit business. But some religious exemptions are probably ok.
But it would have to be for ALL Religious people in the USA.
Do you remember when there was talk of a Islamic meeting house, near the then ground zero site.
Talk about religious bigotry, the hate spewed out.
I agree! How inconsiderate to build a mosque where the call to prayer would echo over Ground Zero five times a day.
If one can't respect all religions, how truly tolerant is someone? You are proving Eraserhead's point.
BL.
Park51 (originally named Cordoba House) was a planned 13-story Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan. The majority of the center was set aside for the general public to promote interfaith dialogue. Plans for the center included a Muslim prayer space which, due to its location two blocks from the World Trade Center site, has controversially been referred to as the "Ground Zero mosque", though numerous commentators disputed that characterization. The owner now proposes to build a three-story museum instead of the original 13-story center.

It was not a mosque, it was a community centre, but that wouldn't fit your agenda, so you spew more lies.
I don't respect any religions since I'm an atheist. But I do recognize that others have different views on the matter. I think the need for people to have the memorial free of Islamic calls to prayer outweighed the need for a mosque to be built in the area. The majority agreed with me.
The "prayer space" would hold 1,0002,000 people. And my comment that the call to prayer would be heard at the memorial is not contradicted by your source.
You're getting pretty personal with those insults. Time to take a deep breath and count to ten, dear.
There would have been no call to prayer, as it was a prayer space and not a mosque.
The size does not make it a mosque.
The wikipedia article sources show there is considerable confusion as to whether the "PrayerSpace" is a mosque. Even the Park51 website called it a mosque.
I didn't say it did. Just pointed out that it's a large space.
