I'm allowed to voice my opinion. And I stand by it.
Well in my opinion, the OP actually defended his point of view with clear logic several times now and all you did was basically shout racism.
People have this bad habit of calling racism to avoid thinking in a discussion. It's much easier to call the other person a racist as an ad hominem and move on than it is to craft an actual response to an argument. Meanwhile the word gets diluted, it really doesn't mean anything anymore because it's used for everything... and real examples of racism continue.

Well, hey, people don't like being accused of racism either.
lol. Well done, Tommy.
I think the folks who are lurking/reading this thread have seen thoughtful and civil dialogue coming from your end, while they have seen others simply resort to base accusations.
I am proud (and reassured) to know that the people curious about this real issue I raised will see our cases made thoughtfully, while the race hustlers have been made once again to appear superficial and dare I say unlettered.
A good example of this was seen in another city-data thread that I think was scuttled by mods: the OP asked why Mormonism received way more criticism and ridicule than Islam. I said that Occam's razor applies: you know the answer in your gut, but society's censors have frightened you into vocalizing it. Interestingly, even though that Islam is way more influential and powerful than Mormonism, white liberals are terrified of offending a patriarchal faith primarily practiced by brown people.
This is just...odd. There's no way Mormons get more criticism than Muslims. At all. Heck when folks wanted to smear Obama, they falsely accused him of being Muslim
Not Mormon.

Criticisms of Obama re: Islam didn’t come from the mainstream media, big tech, academia, and the massive corporate infrastructure. Even Obama’s Republican opponent swiftly shut down the accusations.
Wasn’t Romney’s Mormonism joked about more in the mainstream media? Magic underwear? SNL skits?
I think people are understandably concerned after Charlie Hebdo. The idea of honor killings and suicide bombings are probably alien to most Christians around the world today.

For both Christian & Muslim religions, it depends on how literal their sacred texts are observed & practiced. Fundamentalism is barbaric in both. In our modern day, fundamentalist Muslims win the barbarism contest hands down. As for Obama, I'd guess his practice of Christianity was about as far from fundamentalist as possible.
Anyway, back on track. Disrespectful extreme loud music of any kind shouldn't be tolerated. And, there should be a much greater & willful focus on the enforcement of laws & ordinances to prohibit it.
