meara, I was going to SAY!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

t not really here I'd be pretty shocked if there ISN'T a sushi place in or at the Pearl Harbor memorial. Hawaii has a HUGE ethnic japanese community. Has had long before Pearl Harbor was a historical event. In the 20s, they were almost half the population. t /not really here

It's okay for Sushi restaurants to be in hawaii, they just couldn't be 4 blocks from Pearl Harbor.

Tell the moron to google Pearl Harbor sushi.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
What about five blocks from Pearl Harbor?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Elsie Dinsmore uses the passage "Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone," to justify the position that grace is time-limited -- if you don't accept Jesus within a certain time frame, then he won't have you anymore. (OK, I don't really have anything useful to add to this conversation, but I'd never seen that interpretation anywhere else, and I asked a few Christian friends, who said they'd never heard it, either.)
His other argument is that this is the same as if a sushi restaurant opened right next to Pearl Harbor, it would be a provocation and disrespectful and should not be allowed.
That one actually kind of makes sense as an analogy, but I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. It's not like a sushi restaurant is an arm of the WWII-era Japanese government.

Ha, no, it was rhetorical. But I'm tempted to google now.
Here, enter this in the Google Maps search box. "sushi loc: Pearl Harbour, HI"

The Pacific Aviation Museum there doesn't have sushi on the menu, but teriaki beef and asian stir fry! Horrors! [link]
I'd be surprised if you couldn't get sushi in the AFB mess hall. Hell, you could get it at Ft. Hood...
ANYWAY. PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE WRONG.

The argument goes something like - sure it's legal but it's disrespectful so it shouldn't be allowed.
Not legally blocked, just the people building the mosque/sushi restaurant shouldn't do it because it's in bad taste and so why it shouldn't be against the law it should be heavily discouraged from happening.
