Well HERE's a creative response to the Mosque at ground zero!

Your attitude, mainly, but also your statements here and in other threads.
Quote:I'm out of work. Have been for the better part of a year. It's so
bad at this point that I've actually had to stoop to going on
foodstamps. But even in good times, I've never made more than 30K. And
that's probably optimistic at that. So no economic privilege here.
Social?
Feh. Try having any social clout when you're in your 40s and
overweight. Half the problem of me getting a job I suspect is age and
weight discrimination.
You got a job that gets you above the poverty line? Then you are more privileged than me. Don't start with that.
And now comes the Misery Poker. You are enourmously priveleged Logan. If you don't beleieve it ask yourself this: "Would I rather be a poor man in Africa?"
Privelege is often invisible to those who have it. You don't know exactly how many advantages you have over people of colour, or the wrong sexuality, or who are transgendered and so on and so forth. I mean, nobody is going to beat you to death for being fat and forty plus Logan, a privelege not shared by gay people in your country.

Quote:Whose
"fucking house" are we talking about, here? If you're trying to drag
Christianity into it again. Don't bother. I'll say what I've said before
in this regard. I'm not arguing from the position of being a Christian.
I abhor their anti-gay dogma (false dogma) as much as Islam's. But as
Rev so aptly put it in another post - you really don't have to worry
about Christianity because it's teeth have been pulled. Not so with
Islam.
You're misusing RevDark's words here. Christinaity has had its teeth pulled in the US but then, so has Islam. But there are millions of dead African, or soon to be dead Africans with the AIDS virus, who would be in a much better place if the Catholic Chruch really did have its teeth pulled. And its not like Islam has the patent on religious violence, even today. What was the religious affiliation of the man who killed that abortion doctor? How about Fred Phelps et al?
But it extends beyond just Christinaity. It extends to America as a whole. Mexico just managed to make gay marriage legal, why can't you guys do it?
Also, I'm not going to start combing through the entire board for all your homophobia and racism.
