hi kamahinaohoku- no problem you said that beautifully. BTW my last post was simply paraphrasing something dusty said above.
over and over on this thread several posters put words in the mouths of others and made sweeping generalization about what other people think and believe. how they know what is in the minds of others, i have no idea.

"Because I'm not interested in history, "ground zero" in New York is not important in my mind." "After all, it's just a hole in the ground now."
"Because I'm not interested in history, the monument where the Alfred Murah Building used to be, is not important to me." "After all, it's nothing but a bunch of chairs and you can't even sit on them."
I guess those statements couldn't possibly offend anyone.
Get a clue!

Dusty, No one said you aren't offended by the opinions voiced here, clearly you are.
What I don't believe is fair is when you say what other people think and feel. There is no way you can know what is in their hearts.

suze, you have given great advice on this forum.
But, I see no reason why any response by you (or anyone else) has to mention religion (the comments about PCC on an earlier thread) or anything that could be taken as negative or indifference when speaking about the military or military monuments.
I know you still feel you didn't offend anyone (and others agree with you). I feel the opposite (and others agree with me).
I also know it was never your intention for anyone to take offence to any of your comments. Like I said, you do give good advice.
Some people take blonde jokes as nothing but jokes. Others may be offended by them. Whoever tells the joke surely does not have the intent to offend anyone.
I and many others take our military and anything to do with the military very seriously and may be offended by anything that slights the military.

Dusty - please stop changing the words. NO ONE in this discussion ever said that "New York, the Alfred Murah Building and/or Pearl Harbor IS NOT IMPORTANT IN MY MIND." You are still implying (or imagining) things, and taking offense to things that were not meant in the manner you're implying.

If you say. "PCC is too commercial." I see nothing wrong with that. But, all the luas are commercial.
If you say. "Don't go there because it is run by Mormons and some of us have a problem with that." Then it is an anti-religious statement.
Don't go to the church Bazzar. It's run by Catholics, and some of us have a problem with that.
Don't play bingo at the church because it's run by Lutherans and some of us have a problem with that.
"PCC is too commercial and it's run by Mormons and some of us have a problem with that", doesn't need to be a response in a travel forum.
And then later you said you were never at PCC.
So evidently you and others still don't get it.
Once again, If it was just me who thought you slighted the military, I'd say, it's just me and that would be the end of it. But obviously others are also offended.
I don't know if you've ever been to the Arizona Memorial, but, like PCC, I'll bet you were never there and therefore have no idea of what the memorial means to others.

If you're ever in Texas, Crawford is not important because Bush is from there and some of us have a problem with that.
If you're in italy, the Vatican isn't important. It's run by Catholics and some of us have a problem with that.
If you're ever in Pennsylvania, don't go near Lancaster. Many Amish live there and some of us have a problem with that.

Dusty, I promise I will never ever utter a single word about Pearl Harbor on this site again. But please stop. You misquote and twist words, implying these statements are mine, but they are not. Enough already.

Karina123,
Thanks for the thread! We will also be in the islands this year and other than all the ranting from people who should be in some type of political blog it was quite informational. There is a million things to do as we have been before. I would agree with those who said to relax and do some short trips. Talking to the locals will never lead you astray as long as their not selling condos.

I think a few of you are losing sight of the point of this forum. Karina simply wanted some honeymoon advice regarding her stay in hawaii. Everyone has different opinions and that's fine. What some like to do is maybe not what others would want to do. TO EACH THEIR OWN. Pearl harbor isn't for me either since i'm going on my honeymoon and i'd rather not be depressed for a whole day. Anyone want to scold me for saying that??? This board is to HELP others, not to judge, not to be verbally mean, and not to jump down others throats for their beliefs, thoughts, or opinions.
KARINA... i also am planning my honeymoon for october. My future husband and i will be 25 when we go and here's what i have planned so far.
In maui:
-(Tuesday)we booked the Old Lahaina Luau
-(Wed) captain steves snorkeling trip to Lanai
-(Thurs) Aloha Morning ride at the Mendes Ranch
-(Fri)road to hana
-(sat) hike to Haleakala
We might also book Warren & Annabelles, do some Lahaina shopping, get a seaside massage at the Hyatt, spend plenty of time on the beach relaxing, and go with the flow to see where the day takes us. I have plenty of restaurant recommendations and various other info, so feel free to email me if you want to talk. [email protected]
