So the Christians were dicks and the Muzzies were just "hey, s'all cool mang, just don't hurt us"?

Sounds about right. :lol:

Probably not.

But then again, a population living under an empires rule, with all the apparent benefits, isn't really going to just spontaneously go "you know what? Fuck you and your religion..." all of a sudden.

But then again, the other thing you need to remember is that the Crusades weren't just a quick stop off at the local taverna to remind people about Rome, they were 200 years or so of officially sanctioned military campaigns against the East, to try and re-establish Christianity as the primary religion in the area.

Given that Jerusalem is a bit of a running gag in religions, just about everyone but the Christians took offence to Rome tying to stake a sole claim to the city. So yeah, while the locals didn't really just roll over, they didn't exactly go without a good old fashioned scrap.

But then again, I still think that all religions are stupid (and before people start, the only thing I have "faith" in is the scientific proofing method, peer review and all that...), all this fighting over invisible friends and psychological crutches.

It's been a while since there was a "clean" war, IE not one fought over an ideology...

Another fun fact: there were no "escorts" among the bunch that flew planes into buildings.

And some educated conjecture: it was probably there before 9/11.

but still, if people are going to get pissed about things defacing the memory of their beloved, you'd be annoyed by women baring their titties even if it was there before the event.

Out of sight, out of mind. At least, that's how those places work over here. You lot probably still have the harlots on the second floor balcony.

Passed a law sometime during the 80s (I think.) that outlawed that, as well as a court ruling that extends the law to cover hookers trying to advertising their services (read: flashing) from behind windows.

^Dude, your FB friends are idiots.

BTW, Blokeh, I love how you cherry-picked my points here to use in that comment section. The views of Smokey are a package deal: you use them all and hail them as gospel, or not at all.

This whole 'controversy' amused me.

1. not a mosque
2. not really 'near' ground zero

Don't believe everything Sarah Palin says!

When you're arguing with someone who is obviously a racist and religiously intolerant fuckhole, no matter what side of the fence you're on, anything goes. :yes:

Also, aren't we his FB friends? :hmm:
