Jan 17, 2010: Free Country
It's a wonderful thing, living in a free country.
Sadly, something much of the World's population can't experience. There is one minor drawback though... Quote:
I borrowed this from Orsm.net, a very NSFW website in Australia, where it apparently was contributed by a Texan.

I think that if someone were to put a sign up that stated that this store closed for a day in respect for that religious nutbar....sales could suffer.

Excellent Bullitt, thanks for the link.
So this originated in an email, huh. Shows what can circulate when explanations are neither proffered of requested. I wonder if this made the local papers in Huston at the time? Obviously it upset some people, and someone, maybe a reporter, questioned the owner and got an explanation.

This is one of the more scary aspects of the power of the Internet. It's like shouting "Fire" from the balcony of a theater just to see what happens. I have a few relatives who constantly send me crappy hoax shit like this or how Obama is going to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens or how Congress voted themselves a pay raise while cutting the amount in senior's SS checks. I used to try to respond with a link to the Snopes or other hoax website but now I just delete it and move on.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I know that area of Houston and it has a fairly large Muslim population, there is a big mosque on Harwin if I am not mistaken. And right next to this area is what Houstonians refer to as Chinatown because of the large Asian population. When I moved here in 1980 I lived and worked my first job not far from this area and it was totally white suburbia then.

I too, get those constantly, Chris. The most blatant/vicious, I still send back with Snope's-ish links, but like you say, nobody has time to fight them all.
