If a Christian or Jew decided to build a place of worship on a piece of land that the muslim community held in high regard there would be suicide bombers, not debate on the issue.
That makes no sense, the WTC buildings weren't Christian or Jewish pieces of land.
EDIT: And maybe you can explain why it's inappropriate, no one has been able to.

Way to explain your opinion, instead of just bashing someone elses.
Yes because I am totally serious. I believe we should limit people's ability to procreate because some idiot on the internet watches Glen Beck too much.
If you wanna be a mod feel free to submit a formal application to Bingo. Or you could just not respond. Or you could just report my post. Or you could just post what you think. Coming from the guy who joined 6 months earlier than me.
Im just wondering if it possible for people to have a political conversation without personal insults at other posters.
not even after a heated back and forth exchange... on the first two posts??
Serious, just wondering why its necessary?
The guy said that anyone with dignity knows that Muslims should not be allowed to practise freedom of religion. I have no problem treating people that are hate mongers like crap. They don't even deserve an intelligent response.
I'll save intelligent political discourse for people who don't believe in denying a particular segment of society their freedoms based on the fact that they have a "wacky" religion.

As was noted in his/her post, the Florida Pastor incident was equally inappropriate.
Either way, I really don't have a solid opinion on the particular subject that O'Reilly and The View hosts were discussing- I am much more interested in the way the discourse broke down (as it always does when it come to Politics/Religion)
How could anyone watch that show? It's like not one of them has any experience in front of a camera or on mic, all screaming at the same time.
Exactly. All that show is, is them constantly interrupting each other and trying to talk over one another, its like listening to a bunch of drunk people at a party. I can't even handle it. Cluck cluck cluck.
The fact two of them walked off the set because they didn't like their guest's strong views on a matter is hilariously bush league for what are supposed to be professional, tenured TV hosts. This isn't Letterman walking off the set because a guest was too rowdy(and potentially hepped up on goofballs), this was hosts just not liking their guest's opinions. Yes his opinions are very outdated and he has a rather boorish way of presenting them, but you don't walk off the set like that, you just don't. That show is a joke.
So let me get this straight. Bill O'Reilly acts like a twat and CP posters use it as a launching point for their misogyny. Typical.
What misogyny?
People aren't allowed to dislike moronic people now just because they are women?
Behar and Goldberg are two of the most repulsive women on TV (not looking-wise, well that two, but I meant in terms of their personality). To see them act like babies like they did only further goes to show why people hate them.
Also, not sure what they expected when they had O'Reilly on. Being over the top is what he does. You can say he acted like a twat but really is anyone all that surprised with the way he acted?
The View is the most ridiculous show on a major network, but O'Reilly was just being an *******. Typical not letting anyone talk either than himself and casting himself as being smarter while never getting around to making a constructive point.

I'm not arguing that, I just don't like the tone of some people's critiques. 'Male hosts' etc. Comment on how they were being twats, not that you think they're unattractive.
