It's kind of strange how people now rely on others to protect their feelings. We expect the world to monitor and control everything it says and does so that nobody hurts our feelings. And somehow that makes more sense to us than manning up and learning to protect our own feelings, and being honest and objective with ourselves, and discarding that which isn't right for us.
It's really sad, IMO. If we're so fearful of being honest and objective, we will never conquer the real problems. We'll sweep them under the rug for fear of hurting someone who might actually NEED some honest, objective evaluation.
We've become pussies.
...lol
A side note-I wonder how Muslims feel about Latinos & Polynesians. We're on the opposite side of the pork position. In fact, we take pork to a whole new level. Yeah, bacon and ham are cute but them Muslims would probably jihad if they ever went to a luau.
I do that with a good smoked sausage. Smoked sausage omelet with a side of smoked sausage. YUM!
Love it Slick!
Tell you what though, if they would have told us we were invading Afghanistan/Iraq to preserve our right to eat bacon I think the wars would have had a lot more support.
Maybe for what we call the wrong reasons, and probably some here would've said "fuck off, towelhead," but I'd be willing to bet most of the ones to do so don't own a service oriented business.
Both of them are "offended" by things that don't concern them and are in no way forced upon them.
The business owners CHOSE to put up a sign. As usual, someone complained. The business owners CHOSE to take the sign down.
I'm much more bothered by the Government coming in and telling business owners they can't allow smoking.
When I owned my restaurant, being able to tell a customer EXACTLY what I wished, it was a wonderful thing! The few that might not come any longer are such a small percentage, who cares?
The business owners CHOSE to put up a sign. As usual, someone complained. The business owners CHOSE to take the sign down."
I'm trying to comprehend how somebody is not bothered by this...
Of course, the business owner decided to take the sign down. But that's not the point. The point is this: where is the fucking national outrage where some stupid woman can come in and force her opinions and ridiculous sensitivities on others and, as a society, we fucking bow down and walk away with our tails between our legs for daring to hurt somebody's feelings??? Somebody who doesn't have the maturity to realize it's fucking irrelevant, and she should grow the fuck up and do something useful !!!
Are you serious, you don't see the problem???
Interesting comment. I suppose the foto, and the details of who, what, when and where weren't enough for you? I suppose you could search the internet for other articles in local papers, but maybe that's not really your goal...
So the NY Daily News is probably pretty accurate with their story. Y'know, possibly the largest NY newspaper, been around forever....
There is a guy in my area who raises Berkshire hogs and makes the most incredible bacon out of the loins of those lovely pigs. He also makes delightful sausages and hams but the bacon is his star product.
I could live on bacon sarnies made from his bacon.
As for Christian fanatics, the KKK, Westboro Baptist Church, and that complete and utter whack job pastor who wants to amend the fucking Constitution to put homosexuals in jail for 10 years at hard labor all pretty much count as fanatics in my book.
In some muslim countries, about 10, homosexuals can be put to death! 10 years in a jail with Bubba might be something they would enjoy.
Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and United Arab Emirates.
Bear in mind that I suffer no illusions about what kind of "peace" that the "religion of peace" is talking about: the peace of converted or dead infidels. The article wasn't about that, though. It was about a religious whacko bitching about being "offended" over something that harms him or her in no way whatsoever. Just exactly as other religious whackos do, but seem to get a free pass concerning, because they happen to be 'Murican whackos instead of foreign ones.
I think we are saying the same thing in different ways. To me, "degree" means little.
"Let's carry this a bit further. Let's say we get rid of every single thing that offends anyone. Again, EVERY SINGLE THING that OFFENDS ANYONE. Just what would be left on this planet? Or perhaps the planet, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, etc. offends. Then there would exist, nothing!"
You could add with offends, "doesn't agree with their views".
The point Motor was making is that America has to bow to the will of a muslim over the word "bacon" on a sign. What's next?
See my post above.
Do you think my point is incorrect?
No. You don't seem to get it. She didn't force anything on anybody. She complained as people usually do (something you should be familiar with). Then the owners talked to her and decided to take it down.
Who "bowed down"? Who went away with their "tail between their legs"?
Adults made a decision of their own volition. We don't have a lot of details but it really doesn't even look like they were under any pressure to make one or the other.
As long as business owners get to make decisions like this and aren't forced into it then I don't have a problem.
