Spreddit5 Do YOU really feel it's ok to build that Mosque next to ground-zero? Did you know that the planned opening date is 9/11/11 - the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks? Watch this vid - it might change your views a bit. Did to me!

Yes, this is a re-submission - it belongs in WTF. Watch this with an open mind, and draw your own conclusions.

The funding question that the author of the video raises has been discussed widely - I'm not certain if he didn't know about it at the time of the creation of the video or not, but it's been confirmed that funding for the mosque ("cultural center") has been in-part funded by extremist groups that see this mosque as a trophy.

If you're not going to watch the video, at least know that it's being called the "Cordoba House," because Cordoba, Spain was where the first mosque that was built, was hailed as a symbol of Islamic victory in Spain. These groups see this mosque as a similar, and just as insulting, victory in the US. The vast majority of muslims that have been interviewed regarding this subject also welcome it as a sign of the coming downfall of the US, and at the very least, see it as the start of being able to implement shariah law within the US, subjugating the US laws that have been in-place for over 200 years.

I'm ALL for equal rights to religion, speech, etc, but let's ask ourselves "why here?" Of all the places to build a mosque, why at ground-zero? It's an insult, and the people behind building this mosque know that it's an insult - and of course they know how it'll be viewed by the average US citizen, and of course, by the families who were robbed of their loved-ones on 9/11.

Spreddit5 Is there a way to search for user accounts on Reddit? I'm looking for someone, but remember only the first part of his name. Is there a way to find him?

WTF! I did just that, I swear. I'm a software engineer, not a dolt, and I've just been "served" by you via Google.

I don't know how I f'd that up - but thank you, and thank you also for making me feel really, really stupid. :)

I know this is a month old and all, but everytime I see something like this, I cringe knowing what I know about pharmaceuticals.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is inside these pills, and taking a drink with tylenol is the most foolish thing one can do when it comes to taking pills. It all comes down to what your liver can metabolize, and how much you've thrown at it. Throwing both alcohol and acetaminophen at it, at the same time means that your liver starts making toxic byproducts, that actually scar and eventually begin to kill your liver.

Short response/ TL;DR; Drinking with pills, of any kind, tylenol-included or not, is just asking for trouble.

Tried that... not seeming to work. The first part of the username is "galeforce" - I just can't seem to find this guy, but he's the guy that I know that can answer my very specific questions: he's like an expert in the area of study that I'm currently interested in.

Thanks for the attempt at help though. :)

Spreddit5 In standard English there is no contraction for "am not". However, contractions for it do exist in certain nonstandard varieties.

Don't say ain't, or your mother will faint, and something-something about a bucket of paint.

Spreddit5 I'm an atheist, but this feels like a dick move.

THAT is the correct line of reasoning in this case I believe. I don't see state sponsorship of religion if any religious symbol is allowed to be used in order to represent the beliefs of the deceased.
