Jews don't recognize Jesus Chirist as the lord and savior

Protestants don't recognize the pope as the leader of the christian religion

Fundies don't recognize each other in the liquor stores and stripper bars

the people who opposed them were those who lived in the neighborhoods surrounding the stores because they attracted prostitution and drug dealing. Some people unfamiliar with living in such areas may consider those victimless crimes, but you would be wrong.
