I find this really curious. From the video, it seems very clear, from the way she sarcastically rolled her voice "soooo", that she is discriminating. The NAACP even called her out on it, citing it as "shameful." Obviously, now that the shit hit the fan, she's backtracking and casting herself as innocent.
I think she was being discriminatory and she's just trying to save her ass now.
The logical side of me says, there is probably no legal basis for denying the mosque. Possibly, there is no alterior motive to the location. However, the emotional side of me says there should be no mosque near Ground Zero... build it elsewhere in New York, but not there. Perhaps illogically, I see it as the WTC being obliterated, and a Muslim flag propped up in the rubble. 52% of New Yorkers agree.
I'm creating this thread for two reasons: First, I want to talk about the movie that's coming out on August 23rd. Second, I would like to learn more about the graphic novel that the movie is based on.
When I first heard about the Scott Pilgrim movie, I was not aware that it was based off a graphic novel series that was originally released in 04. Now that the movie is just one month away, I would like to start reading series to get acquainted with the characters and plot. Well, I shouldn't include the plot. The trailers alone have given me a firm understanding of Scott's mission to defeat the seven evil ex-boyfriends of his current love interest, Ramona.
Surprisingly enough, the graphic novel series isn't even finished. The sixth and final chapter in the series comes out tomorrow.
The movie stars Micheal Cera (this should not be a surprise), Mary Winstead and Chris Evans.
Overall, the movie looks really good. According to the info that I've read, the movie and novel series have quite a few references to numerous video games series (i.e. Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros., etc.).

Thomas H Porter was a true American business man..
He actually sold brand name slaves.. That's right! The people he sold where forced to wear his logo like a pair of Levis Jeans!
You know you where getting quality, because the slave wore a Thomas Porter button on his or her shirt!
It just goes to show you what a horrible time we lived in..
Ok I bought a Radon HD 5570. Assuming that my previous HD 3200 belongs to the same family, then this new one is... 2570 more. However, before I install it, the guy at Best Buy tried to sell me a new power source... he said that if I don't, there's a chance the new card could overload and fry my extant power source. I've never heard of this before. Is it true? If so, I would need to check how much my current power source is. How would I go about doing that? The box on the 5570 recommends 400 Watt or Greater Power Supply.
