Drudge has the story up!
You cant light a fire on a NY street.
Especially Clamato... Yech!
Me too. After reading hundreds of thoughtful posts by intelligent people for and against the burning, I finally concluded that burning Korans (on this date, in particular) is A) civil and B) a right and peaceful way to stand strong against the invasion of Islam (and its inevitable antipathy to freedom and liberty as our Founders intended) in America.
I also think that objecting to burning Korans on the grounds that it is "uncivil" or "beneath us" is based on gratifying an egocentic vanity. Sometimes one has to be uncivil and unpleasant to accomplish what is right and good. There are dirty jobs that SOMEBODY has to do.
True. Quite a few are CL.
That is actually very funny. Thanks!!
The short answer is -- because he can!
He has a first amendment right to exercise his "free speech" rights, just as you have the right to ask him stupid questions.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
And furthermore, there is nothing in the first amendment that requires him to have a "good" reason to employ said right.
If it's his property (the Koran) and he wants to burn it, or otherwise dispose of it, he doesn't have to get "permission" from anyone -- including you.
STE=Q
We know now that he was just led awayy and not arrested.
Really, smoking is banned in New York?
Flush is down the toilet
Geesh! Tempts one to suggest killing them all, and let God sort them out. There are some true haters of the atheist variety there. I love the ones about FR, though. I wonder if any of them saw the pic of the CD Koran in my fireplace?
I'm saying nothing of the kind, you stupid fool.
And you once again display that your comprehension skills are less than abysmal.
That is not what I said and anyone with two brain cells firing properly can figure that out.
It was an observation from my perspective. A statement. It did not say anything in support of appeasing Muslims. I said the opposite. I said nothing to the effect that Korans should not be burned. I said the opposite. You just want to see those things so that you can run your stupid yap and feel good about yourself.
Now, I'm well over my quota for stupid people this week, so kindly piss off. I have nothing more to say to you.
You burned it twice. Digitally and literally
Well done
That reveals quite a bit about you, Allegra, and reveals absolutely zero about FReeper "Keyboard Kommandos."
LOL! That’s great. I think I’ll do that, film it and put it on You Tube. You can get them used for 2-5.00.
There are some of them on this forum. Sickening.
“I’m saying nothing of the kind, you stupid fool.”
And yet you’re saying exactly that, in addition to saying the opposite. Whatever.
I would be happy to. If I'd seen it I would have at the time. I'm so sorry that there are a-holes like that on this site. There is a kind of Gresham's Law of Internet message boards--bad posters drive out the good--and decent people have to wage a constant fight against it.
