Only slightly, because charging a fee only authorizes use for its intended purpose..

I cant pay a fee to a baseball game, and then proceed to open up a hot dog stand arguing that my fee, allows me the right to do what I want.

Did this family erect a 5 foot mosque on public property and expect it to remain there for eternity?

So do I, but you can't help but notice how the Lefties DEFEND ANYTHING a Muslim does regarding religion, but opposes ANYTHING Christians do. They're alliance is crystal clear.

I've seen people sitting not taking up any more space than they are, just be honest here, I'd have more respect for the argument then.

You would be scared of them.

Seems to me as a generalization the opposite is also true.

If you believe that then you are not paying attention to who says what in this thread.

This story just illustrates the relationship between the LeftNuts and Islam. They are aligned and they prove it every time a thread like this is posted. They defend ANYTHING Muslims do regarding their religion, but don't afford those same rights to Christians.

First off, I have no idea what other story you're talking about.

Secondly, I'm not "defending" what these people did. It's possible this family was being a being a bunch of disruptive fools who deserved to be thrown out on their asses. None of us were there - we don't know what happened.

All I'm saying is that their religion should not be an influencing factor in deciding whether to eject them, and if it was, the business should be forced into corrective remedy.

You mean like these people who were being ejected from McDonalds?
