well, there's this thing called "tact"... - znufrii Jun 20, 13:04 11
- I think they just get to have an opinion on street names in their city. Not every move every atheist makes ever has to be calculated to increase - con_carne Jun 20, 13:09 9
  - Having a personal opinion on the matter is one thing, speaking as a respresentative of an ideological organization is quite another. - znufrii Jun 20, 13:16 8
    - i don't get how that street name relates to 9/11 except someone says so. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 13:21 4
      - Well I guess that's exactly the point... - znufrii Jun 20, 13:32
      - ...because that's the name of a group of people who died on 9/11... -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 13:30 2
        
        ok that makes sense (cept why are public employees named for a religious thing?) -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 13:51 1
        
        Because the public/media did the naming after-the-fact. -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 13:57
    - /breaks into a basement party full of 15-year-olds/ Hey! Quit calling it 'seven minutes in heaven'!!! What's wrong with 'fucking in the closet'?!?! -- nm - Obnoxious Atheists Jun 20, 13:20 2

      - heh... -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 13:26
- It's like a trademark. You have to defend it diligently in all circumstances or lose credibility? -- nm - oblique Jun 20, 13:07
