I really don't think what I'm saying here is that hard to grasp. If you don't agree with the beliefs of some people its ok, just don't rub it in their faces that's all. This works both ways, for the religious and nonreligious and for any two parties disagreeing on something that is completely intellectual, philosophical or spiritual.GazaAli

I don't like this mentality to be honest.  We don't have to respect someone's belief, only their right to hold those beliefs.  

Should I respect my neighbors belief that homosexuals are sinful creatures going to hell?  I don't think so.  The idea that I have to respect my neighbors beliefs is pure garbage.  

This is even ignoring that such an attitude is ambiguous, people get offended for different reasons and it would be impossible to determine what speech is appropriate of not.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]If you want to troll people then you must be ready to face the consequences of your actions. I wouldn't comment this way if they actually had a mature and respectful agenda regardless if it collides with others beliefs.

Great question. MSNBC focused on the Trayvon thing for months. CNN and MSNBC talked about the Oprah 'racism' thing in a store in Switzerland for over a week(which was never proven by the way and denied by the employee as ever happening). CNN and MSNBC talked about the Paula Deen thing for weeks.

A black supremacist DHS agent who buys weapons and ammo for the government....got maybe 30 seconds on MSNBC and CNN.

I hope you enjoyed voting, because you don't get to anymore.

Also, I heard DC is pretty great.  I had a roommate (two, actually) from DC and they loved it.  A lot of culture, big hipster scene though lol.  And don't worry about the "bad" parts, just get a car alarm for when you park your car, get the hell out of there before the sun goes down, and don't be a punk.

Lots of good beer, too, from what I've heard.

If he gets a place in Maryland or Virginia, he can still vote. Even if he gets a place in DC, he can vote for a President (3 electoral votes), just not Senators or Representatives.
