Do you seriously have no idea what this is satire about?

I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
Quote: Jefferson said: Satire is a little different.
Satire is all about exposing a problem or hypocrisy or maybe even something most of us don't notice in a comedic way. But I guess it doesn't always have to be funny so long as it makes you think. Satire is a tricky thing, some do it well others should just quit while they're ahead.
In a related note Kurt Vonnegut's Satire was not funny and did not expose anything.

are you being serious? We really need a sarcasm font.
All you need to do is add an American flag hanging from each one of them towers and we're cool. Also sarcasm is no fun if some people don't take you seriously.

If it wasn't a middle eastern building there would be no controversy., and they aren't putting it in an appropriate location imo
For one, it's not solely a mosque but an islamic center. For two that type of architecture is not all too common in mosques constructed in America. For three there's no reason why that's an inappropriate location. For four it's going to be a couple blocks from ground zero, not at the site.

Well, you obviously did not lose a part of your family in the attack (neither did I, but I am looking at this from their perspective) on America that was ultimately blamed on people of this religion.
I would not mind a mosque being down the road from me, but placing one anywhere near a site that was an attack on America, blamed on the religion this structure is going to be made for, should be unacceptable for those who lost family members that day.
It's almost the equivalent to a Hitler monument in Jewish cities.
So if a radical sect of Christianity blows up a building then we should prevent churches from being built anywhere near the site, cause after all, Christianity is solely to blame.
And further more we should memorialize all the soldiers who have died overseas trying to liberate and propagate freedom by reducing freedom for them to do the same at home.
An islamic center being built a couple blocks from ground zero is nothing like erecting a monument to hitler.
And if I had lost someone in the attack I wouldn't let my mind get clouded with emotions, certainly not those kinds. Not everyone who lost someone in the attack turned into a racist security freak.

Quote: MFDoom666 said: any american that has a problem with the islamic center being constructed in new york is fucking retarded.
not to mention racist as fuck.
I'm not racist, I already said, I do not mind a mosque being built anywhere near me. Putting one anywhere near thousands of lives were lost and blamed on the middle east (note : holy war), should not be acceptable.
Show me a picture of a christian church in Iraq, where we have killed many citizens there, and I will change my mind.
So because a regime does not allow churches then we should not allow mosques? Also just because the attacks were blamed on the middle east has nothing to do with the majority of practitioners of islam. I think the really insult is having military bases in Japan after we nuked them and made them our bitch. Also there are churches in Iraq....
Also you're dumb if you really think this has anything to do with jihad anymore.

I said plenty of times, I don't mind mosques in the country. I said they shouldn't be allowed near an attack site.
We shouldn't be allowed to build on native american land then.

When this happens in America against 5 mosques, hell will be raised.
When any explosion happens in America we'll hear about it. These kinds of things happen all the time in Iraq, or used to idk how the fighting has been nowadays. It's not just churches, it's buildings in general. Mosques too. Churches just make for better headlines.
I recommend watching this movie. It follows the only heavy metal band in Iraq and shows how they did things both before the war and during. It also sheds a lot of light into life in Baghdad and shows that the majority of people there aren't extremists, they're just trying to live their life. Most have fled into Syria leaving a lot of radicals and insurgents to flock to the city.

Quote: MFDoom666 said: america shouldn't be over there.
we're just getting what we deserve.
I completely agree with the first part.
And since I do not fully believe the official story of 9/11, knowing the government is allowing this (maybe even pushing this) just makes it worse to me.
If it was an inside job, lets just say if it were, they point the finger at the middle east, start a "holy war" and then build one of these close to the attack site they created. It's just fucked up in my eyes, I see it as mockery of the deaths.
What do you mean the government is "allowing" this? They have no other choice. It would be unconstitutional not to allow it.

What I meant was the elites pushing for this.
I think if our troops are anywhere they should be in America on the Mexican border, we need to get our shit straight in our country before we decide to go anywhere else.
Quote: MFDoom666 said: this country is just fucked.
i have no hope for it and when i see blatant hatred for muslims just because they're trying to live in our country it kinda pisses me off.
I do not hate muslims, I used to have friends that were middle eastern before I moved from that town.
They're pushing to make it an issue if that's what you mean. There's no reason this should be an issue. If you have a problem with it, you have a problem with the constitution. There's plenty of other countries that limit religious freedom, find one and move if you don't like our freedom. It is a free country after all, come and go as you please.
Really that's the only time the: like it or get out argument works. If you're arguing for reducing freedom.

Quote: Laysthepipe said: Whether it is a free country or not people will still disagree with things.
It is a free country yet we cannot light a joint if we please.
It is a free country and a man talking about burning a quran caused a shitstorm.
I also disagree with burning a quran, but as it is a free country they are allowed to do what they please.
Then why are you arguing against the islamic center? There's no logical reason why anyone would oppose this islamic center. It's ironic we have the same people who support our troops fight for "freedom" against the freedom to build this mosque, which really isn't even a mosque. It's an islamic center. A mosque is purely a religious building which this is not.

It's a couple blocks from ground zero, not across the street with big signs that say we hate America.

It's not a big issue to me, I live on the other side of the U.S pretty much. I just see it from the viewpoint of the families that lost someone on 9/11, making me think it is inappropriate.
I would also go on to say that we are not 100% free, since we cannot smoke marijuana, gays cannot get married in most places.
Marijuana is a much bigger issue to me, especially when our founding fathers, the people who wrote the constitution, used to smoke it, and the constitution is even written in hemp. If we are really following in their footsteps, there is no question that it would be legal.
One of my sisters is lesbian and cannot get married in our state.
People were not allowed to take a camera to the effected beaches during the gulf oil spill, that violated the constitution.
During Katrina guns were being taken from good American homes. That was against the constitution.
Ummm clearly you're getting a little off topic. I don't know why you're bringing up the gulf oil spill or katrina. If you're for the constitution then you shouldn't have been arguing against the islamic center in the first place. Also there's plenty of pictures of infected beach, yes I've seen them trying to show people away but they obviously didn't succeed too well.
While all those issues could be argued constitutionally none of them are outlined in black and white in the first amendment.
