Such disrespectful remarks seriously makes me wonder why some people live here.
Kind of like the "Let's just kill em all, and let God sort em out attitude" of Manifest Destiny Christians towards all "Heathen Savages".
Not all people worship the protesters' gods, or any gods at all. As long as this state is part of the USA, there is separation of church and state, and they can't use their religion as an excuse to force things on other people. I agree, I'm not being very respectful of an ancient religion, but only because it is being used as an excuse in this context to control others, which I as an American find extremely offensive.
Nicely said!
Watch out tho, the local "born here" clown, he'll call you out and tell you to go back to the mainland as well, you won't be getting any local invites or beers with him!
I'm not gonna stereotype on anyone... But I know for myself, that not all hawaiian's and local's (myself included) are against the telescope no matter how hard you try and slice it...
Did you hear that? That was a D9 rumbling on Mauna Kea!
Look Out below! This is a done deal and hopefully the protesters will get a clue... It's kinda like well, if I purchased the lease from the state to some land, you better think twice before you're gonna tell me I can't build on it. To think this won't happen ... well, you're living in a pipe dream.
Can't argue with stupid tho... Just saying... You know paving a road all the way to the top past the TMT site, 150' wide of Miles and Miles of blacktop is way....way more environmentally destructive than the TMT project. I didn't hear anyone protesting about that tho.
Mauna Kea is a beautiful place... I was once up there with my unit (hawaii army national guard) camped up above the clouds. That was about 20 years ago. Just amazing a full moon and clouds washing up on the side of the mountain.
Personally, I think it will look even nicer once the TMT project is complete.
