You never have Muslims like this in the mainstream media.

What they were answering

[deleted] · 42 points

It would be disrespectful toward Muslims and what Muslims believe. You don't have to be a Muslim to respect Muslims and their belief. You don't only respect what you believe in and your own kind. You respect anyone and everything that deserve it and merits it. You or anyone can draw cartoons of Muhammad, you have make spiteful vidoes. You'll be well-within your legal rights to do so. However, as a human being you should stop and think for a moment. And perhaps decide that it's not worth causing more anguish. Everyone's ultimate goal in life should be to create a more just, peaceful, and verdant world. Every action you do, should be compared against that. Would you be creating a just, peaceful, and verdant future by inciting thousands of people? If the answer is no, then you should stop.

I get what you are saying, but where is the line drawn? Can I not wear revealing clothes because that is disrespectful towards Muslims? What about taking prescription medication? That's against the beliefs of Scientologists. What about me eating a big steak on Good Friday? Surely that is too offensive to Christians. I have to be respectful of everyone the could possibly be around me, all day, every day. However, that is impossible. So who draws the line. Who makes the decision for what is offensive and what is just unavoidable? How many people have to believe something before I am not allowed to offend them? What if only one person thinks it's offensive to have a mustache? Is that grounds for everyone shaving them off? What about 1 billion people? Where are the lines?

Replying to Inwardlens · My impression is that ~~20~~ 30 (thanks, Oaklie) over the speed limit is a criminal offense and you can get arrested for reckless driving. This guy got off real easy. EDIT: Looks …

I was going the same speed as the guy in the video in the desert outside Las Vegas. My ticket was over $500! He got off easy. I'd rather take a little verbal lashing than pay that much again!

Replying to anti_climax · Phoenix Metro AZ - liquor and beer permits are seperate but aren't precluded from being issued to the same vendor. Grocery store? Liquor and beer. Drug store? Liquor and beer. Gas …

And in Tempe, if you pay $10 for a day permit, you can have a gathering in the park and drink beer in public! We had beer Olympics one year, and a tattle tale like the one on the video called the cops on us drinking in p

Puppy told to 'leave it'

Replying to iplaw · That's what Reddit is. A place to share useless personal information and opinions. It's like a never ending first date.

Replying to [deleted] · I know, it sucks lol

I've always wondered what the proper punctuation is, when ending a statement with lol. I know, it sucks. I am lol. I know, it sucks. (lol) Or perhaps it's just a man doing jumping jacks at the end of your sentence.
