Can Vs. Should

Okay, like I said in my previous post, I was driving home from class and heard something that pissed me off. What I heard was that there is a pastor over in Gainsville who, on Saturday the 11th is planning on burning as many copies of the Koran as he can get his hands on. I was in a rage, I wanted to drive over there, drop a copy of the bible on top of the fire and make sure he knew that there was nothing he could do because I was exercising the same right he was.

It's like this mosque thing in new york. Do they have the right to burn the Koran or build a mosque further away from Ground Zero than the media is making it sound like but close none the less? abso-fucking-lutely. I'm not arguing that at all. my question is not one of can, it's one of should. should this guy burn these Korans? No, he wants to call himself a christian pastor and yet is so incredibly intolerant, unforgiving, and an all around ass. Should the muslims build a mosque as close to ground zero as they are? No, They say they are not extremists and I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt but they still should try and be a little more sensitive.

Like I said, I respect the rights of all the people and groups mentioned here to do or say pretty much whatever they want, My question to them is if they really think they should, is it really a good idea?
