Thurnez Isa

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

For the record, I've never heard of anything good or intelligent come out of a mass book burning. The way I see it, banning a book burning is the equivalent of hating bigots on principle, until someone provides insight otherwise.

Book burning is a hideous thing.

It's also a method of expression.  Just like burning a flag, sending horrible letters to random congressmen, or putting up "Karl Popper Disapproves" stickers on buildings in the legal district (Thanks, Net!).

And by banning it, you're becoming the monster you went out to fight.  Not a monster.  THE monster.

That being said, if I were in the position to ban a book burning, I probably would not. I would do whatever I could in my power to fuck with such people.

This is the correct motorcycle.

Either that, or sell them Korans at 300% markup.  That's what "Bob" would do.

QuoteScott Wheeler's Strategy for America

It is time to choose sides

Now is the time to go nationwide with our effort to Stop the Ground Zero Mosque: Barack Obama – son of a Muslim father, who once declared that the "Arabic call to prayer is one of the loveliest sounds on earth at Sunset" – has endorsed the building of the Muslim's Ground Zero Mosque.  He has publicly chosen sides...it's now time to force all Democrats to do the same before this election.

The National Republican Trust brought this issue onto the national stage.  Now we need to ask Democrats the simple question, "Do you stand with America, or do you stand with her Enemies?" This is the key to this November's election.  Could there be a more important question?

The liberal media and Democrats (sharing the same dirty bed) have whined that this mosque is not at Ground Zero, but that is an outright lie! I have been there, and I have seen where the landing gear from one of the airplanes landed on the building that Muslims now want to tear down to build their mosque.

They call it "a bridge to promote peace" to our faces, but just as I have said to the media many times now, if they really want to promote peace they can start by strongly denouncing terrorism by other radical Muslims... But they have resisted every opportunity to do that.

In my years of investigating terrorism, I have seen this dishonest strategy before; declaring "peace" the goal, when the "peace" they seek is actually Americans shackled to barbaric "Sharia Law." That's not the kind of "peace" envisioned by our Constitution.

So, it's now time to force Democrats to choose sides. We must ask, and then publicize, their answers to these questions:

   1. Are you with America or against America?
   2. Do you support the majority of Americans who oppose this Mosque? Or, do you continue to disregard the loud voice of the people?
   3. Do you understand what many of those behind the Ground Zero Mosque are trying to do to us? Do you even care?
   4. Is it acceptable to continually offend Christians and Americans first, merely to avoid discomfiting foreigners and Muslims?
   5. To whom do you answer (here on Earth)?

The answers to these questions must be recorded...and then widely disseminated to the public in the form of television, radio and Internet ads so we Americans can vote them out of office!!!

The way this is starting to go, expect another Kristallnacht.  Hey, the Teabaggers are pretty good at breaking windows, as I recall...

Also lol "In my years of investigating terrorism, I have seen this dishonest strategy before; declaring "peace" the goal, when the "peace" they seek is actually Americans shackled to barbaric "Sharia Law.""

I'm willing to bet I've investigated much more terrorism than Mr Wheeler, either past or present threats.  But then, I suspect a five year old child also has at least equivalent experience in this field as him.

Note: I tried to stay out of this topic, since politics always piss me off, but this issue has been grating on my nerves, and this particular article crossed one line too many.

1. Against.
2. Fuck the people.
3. Do you?
4. Yes.
5. Not a damn being.

I feel slightly better now.

^This

If they're on their own property, and they're not hurting anyone, and spent their own money on it, I say let em have at it..  doesn't stop me from fucking with them and anyone else who agrees with them  but yeah..  I can completely diagree with book burning on a primal level, and still not in good conscious say that it should be banned as a means of expression, no matter how fucking retarded it might be.

Just cause you've never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.  It could serve as a catalyst for protest.  I know that KKK rallies also served as a rallying point for all the anti-racist organizations, so much so that the KKK stopped holding their annual rally where I live a few years before I arrived, and the grand dragon lives one town down.  I am also positive that book sellers love book burnings.  Bigots wasting their money to stimulate the economy sounds like a good thing to me.  The Muslims that get the most pissed about this are going to be mostly the sort that need a good trolling anyways.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.
