Re: Theistic Ghettoism

This specific example is obviously been stirred up by some anti-Moslem hysteria. But we could make a wider point about religious intolerance by suggesting similar things be located next door to Christian churches or whatever.
Sure. Abortion clinics come to mind. Or also gay bars.
Personally I think all places of worship should be built next to each other and clumped together in a single location in an enforced act of theistic ghettoism. Let them fight it out between themselves I say.
Hear hear! And make a television show out of it! That'll bring in the cash!
(For anyone not clear - That was intended as a joke)
What? Dammit!

Have you been to Continental Europe? A place that seems devoid of zoning; it is not uncommon to have a day care across the street from a sex shop, next door to a bar, if you are focused on your path it is really not a big deal.
Not in my country it isn't. And if there are sex shops and bars anywhere, it's in my country. There are restrictions on where buildings like bars, sex shops and coffee shops (for example) can be situated here (don't know the exact details, but you can't place them next to a school, for example).

how is this accomplished?
It can't be done. Other than simply not reading your posts / not reacting to them.

My view
Don't know if it's a bit late in the discussion for this (couldn't be bothered to read up ,) but I have made some pretty "crude" remarks which I (and my friends), thought were very funny.
My favourite one was this one:
This happened several years ago, we were watching a football game and one of my friend's girlfriends (who is quite a football fanatic), was really stressing out the entire time, yelling, cussing, screaming, quite annoying. So, after the game ended, she gets a phone call, her granfather had had a heart attack (and later died because of that). So, I say "Oh, he watched the game as well?", and everybody cracked up.
