Outside the walls of their mosque, it's not their society. Conform or leave.  They wouldn't permit it the other way around, so why should we put up with it?

The trouble is they're not afraid of using force to make it theirs. Just imagine if the bacon sign was left up; do you think Muslims would have just let it be and forget about it?

Some might, most would not.  But that's fine... For those that do, into jail they go (assuming the cops aren't afraid of offending them by arresting them).

She has every right to be offended.  Doesn't mane ###### - everyone else has every right not to care.  Don't pander to Islam the same way we shouldn't pander to any community that opts out of something.

My girlfriend's brother is a very dedicated Muslim, born here in the US, and he converted. She's having a birthday party soon, and there will be alcohol - he didn't condemn it and tell her not to host the party, he opted not to come instead. How is it that a dedicated Muslim like himself can just opt out and not protest, but this woman has to come out and tell the world she's offended about a little sign advertising bacon in a window? God forbid Wendy's puts the Baconator on a billboard on a highway by her.

lets not turn this into another muslim bashing thread. we already have plenty of those here on the forums. this is about some pathetic human troll, regardless of faith.

 

 

Except she's using her faith as the reason why she's offended. Admittedly, she's probably just one weirdo, but the company should never have conceded to her infantile resentment of a particular food. Even where I am from, every-so-often you get these idiots who come out against some food or some companies innocuous advertising and get their way by waiving the flag of "offense". Seems like a bit of a dangerous precedent to me.

Why is it so many people go out of their way to not offend Muslims these days?  When you move to another's land, you adjust to THEIR way of life, not the other way around.

 

If she doesn't like seeing ads for pork products, she has the choice to leave.

 

Seeing as this was in America(USA specifically) Muslims are as much of the land as any other since it's a country created and inhabited by people from other countries and cultures.   you know after they first ignored the natives who lived their and raped, pillaged and killed them all ;)

 

had it been a western european country you would have a point.  I mean you still have a point that it's a stupid overreaction and in a mixed country you shouldn't be offended by other peoples food any more than you expect them to respect yours, but the basis for your argument doesn't work for the location :)

Precisely. She's just a bitter old c word. Whether she be Muslim, Christian or Atheist, she'd have found something to complain about and get all "offended". Her mosque should tell her to pull her socks up and stop showing them in a bad light.

I'm willing to bet she's a recent import, not someone who's family have been there for generations.

I am sure she does not get offended when ISIS behead and kill people.  They won't accomodate minorities in their majority countries but they will talk about preferential treatment when they move to infidel land. Irony is, many non muslims are so brainwashed to behave good that they will go any length to accomodate these intolerants.

What makes you draw that conclusion. just because pig meat offends her has no relation to her supporting extremists muslim terror organisations.

The fact they are a part of the country has little to do with their attitude towards the liberal nature of U.S. society. Oddly enough, she probably moved there because of the oppressive nature of her homeland.

 

Kind of irrelevant though.

 

I disagree. Someone who has lived in the U.S. their entire life isn't going to complain about something like this. Once you immigrate into a foreign nation you have to accept that things are going to be different there. If multiculturalism and pluralism is going to work you can't have people like this going "omg, this thing I don't care for is being done here. I wish to see that stopped". She wasn't being asked to eat it, she seems to be offended by the idea the rest of society might want to.

can you guess what is wrong with that statement? can you see it yet?

I can't, care tell me? 

 

getting offended by what people eat? GTFO!

My empty stomach is offended by your photo. Please take it down.

Her head would explode with BaconX

Ground hot sausage + crumbled bacon, diced onions, diced poblano peppers and what you like, wrapped with peppered bacon. Basting sauce of your choice (Jack Daniel's BBQ is great.) Indirect heat BBQ or slow-bake at 300F until 160?F internal.

Some people get fancy and basket weave the bacon. Meh.

There's nothing wrong with that statement.   When in Rome, you do what the Roman's do or you push off back where you came from.

Still don't see it, ok.  There are plenty of English/American/Canadian etc people who are converts of various religions, I think they are already home, so yeah that statement was a bit wrong

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
