yeah, and open a pork rendering plant right next door. At first I was like, this is America, you can't stop people from practicing their religion, but, keeping in mind, something like 80% of New Yorkers and something like 65% of the rest of the country do not want it there, why can't they put it somewhere else? Recently the builders blew off a meeting with the Governor to discuss an alternate location, they don't want to hear about it. So now I say fuck them.

BTW: It's 2 blocks from ground zero, not 12. It's not a cheap area, they can easily find a better place to put it. It may be a cultural center, but religious services are held there every day right now. It is not an attempt at solidarity. it's a slap in the face. They are laughing about how weak and stupid we are. Bottom line is NY'er do not want it there.
My daughter and my girlfriend both work a few blocks from there, and I live a few miles from there. You guys don't know what it is like to live in a war zone. Every time a plane flies over my head, I wonder if it's going down, and I start to think how I am going to get my daughter and gf out of the city if any shit goes down. I know it's not like living in Israel, but it's a real concern. Us New Yorkers are the ones who should make the decision whether we want the "cultural center" or not.

You're right man.

Reminds me of something I was explaining to my MS Support group a couple weeks ago. People in America are so trained to not cause or even get involved in any confrontation. I for one use my cane to move people when I go to the store, I give others dirty looks if they're acting like a fucking crybaby or being a bully. If they want to step to me, I've swung that mother fucker like a baseball bat a couple times not to mention using bayonet training skills.

See, people are such fucking pussies and scared to stand up for themselves and hurting someones feelings, I use that to take advantage of those I sense will just comply. I'm not going to list a bunch of "Leaders" responsible for this cause I'm sick of the FBI listening to my phone calls.

Their current cultural center is 12 blocks away. I agree, it is a local issue. If the broad majority of new yorkers are against it, then why did the local board vote in its favor?

Also, I didn't say it was an attempt of solidarity on their part. I said IF it gets built, its solidarity on America's part of religious tolerance- one of the founding missions of this country. Personally, I don't care if it gets built or not, it doesn't affect me one way or another. If they want to put up a zoning restriction banning all religious buildings in that area- fuck it! But if you ban just a certain religion from building, it won't hold up in court and what will be the point?

If Hamas thinks it's a good idea to allow the "Cultural Center" to be built near Ground Zero, then I'm pretty much inclined to think otherwise. Cuz see, they don't like us a whole lot, and I'm pretty sure they wish we were dead. So...finding common ground with them seems a little like wishful thinking.

Money. I don't disagree with you. I personally do not want it there, but would have to support it, because it is like you said, it is one of the founding missions of this country. But when they refuse to even think about putting it somewhere else, then I think it sounds personal and a slap in the face to all New Yorkers. Fuckem.
Here is a map of the proposed center.
