Don't really see the problem. Probably no one has been buried there for many, many years and if there was a thriving Christian community in the area they wouldn't be knocking the church down.

Churches, synagogues and other religious buildings have been turned into other things for years. Mention the word "Muslim" and all of a sudden people get on their high horse. Grow up.

Fucking nonsense! To build something on a cemetery is discusting! Least of all a mosque. A woman got arrested in pakistan for giving a fucking teddy bear an english name! What wud they do if we went over there and built a church?!?!

That brain cell must be hurting.

By asking "what would Pakistan do?" you're holding them up as a standard aren't you? Otherwise I don't see the relevance of bringing Pakistan up.

Let go.

He's right, it's a waste of space. There's billions and billions of people lived in this world and there'll be billions and billions more. No fucker has the rite to have a little spot for themselves for the rest of time, it's just greedy and smacks of self importance. There's a big cemetery near me and it's just a fucking big waste of space that could be used for much better things like a Nando's (we don't have any round here) or a go kart track or something. Dig em up and fuck em off

You've got your photos of them and that if you want to reminisce, no need to go spoiling evryone elses life because you can't let go or you wanna be rotting in a coffin for the rest of time

No. I am sorry, but every one of us should be allowed to "Rest in Peace."

I don't have photos of headstones, I have the memories of those that I loved in my mind.

However, I don't really see where your negative thoughts on such a thing really create such vehemence? After all, it "just a fucking big waste of space."

If you don't agree with it then fine, but allow me to also say that you have no sense of what it means to those who do think it matters.

And I want me and mine to be able to pay our respects to where they lay.

PB this sounds like an extremely arrogant reply! This has nothing to do with religion, if they were going to build a new tescos it would be the same reply! respect is what this is about!

I recently went to Auschwitz with the Mrs. If the polish government decided to allow Aldi to build a supermarket on the site do you really think it would be allowed?? is there a difference.. I think not!

That's a nonsensical reply. Plenty of graveyards get built over. In Cheetham Hill, there is a Tesco built on top of an old graveyard. No one had been buried there for many years and it had been closed since 1966. All the bodies were exhumed and reburied. I don't get the "respect for the dead" bit. They're dead and decomposed. Respect for the living is more important.

Auschwitz is a different case entirely as it was the site of the greatest mass murder ever carried out. It is an educational site, a museum and a key part of the awful heritage of mans inhumanity to man.

What a ridiculous comparison. Auschwitz remains as a reminder of what one set of humans did to another. It is there as a constant reminder of something that should never have happened and must not be allowed to happen again. It is now something of a museum which can educate and hopefully prevent a repeat of the terrible things the Nazis did. That is fucking useful if you ask me.
