My philosophy is such... You and anybody else can do what they want. Put up signs about bacon for instance. As long as it's promoting something, not being negative.

 

Now I, or you, come along and find offense... LEAVE, and let alone.

 

I don't find anything offensive because I just walk away or turn the page. You wanna be a whatever and do whatever and say whatever, fine. Don't, however try and ram it down my throat or make me see your way of things.

I've seen a few posts which say this is an isolated incident that rarely if ever happens...

 

But..

 

Australia (Sydney): Muslim KFC Worker goes nuts when asked for Bacon! (On Chicken Burger) *Warning some course language*

 

UK: Subway removes bacon from nearly 200 stores due to strong demands.

In Australia lots of places have started to put up halal meat certified signs and a few are removing pork products all together (Not many though, thankfully). Jewish people don't eat pork either but I've never seen a report about a person of Jewish faith complaining about a sign with bacon on it and then it gets put down. Even Catholic people have a week or something where they don't eat any meats during lent/easter? and I don't see them complaining or forcing stores to remove meat products for that week..

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

 

Still not wrong.  If you don't like the society you live in, you go live in one that you DO like. You don't force everyone else to conform to YOUR choices.

As somebody who was born a Hindu*, is it right for me to go into a Muslim country and demand that they stopped eating beef because I feel offended by it?

 

*not a religious person. don't sue me.

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.

I couldn't give a flying damn what they -think- is their's.  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?

 

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.

And check out Rome's history of what they did when one did not "do what the Roman's do".  ;)

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.

 

EXACTLY!

 

Can you really imagine Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or any other muslim country changing anything for people immigrating? In fact, they're reknowned for doing the exact opposite.

I would have taken down the sign, and put up a TV and played videos of people eating bacon and other pig products.

 

How about going the whole hog and opening a stall offering free bacon sandwiches to Muslims? :p

are they really, where did you get that bit of information from?  

 

Pork is not just forbidden by Muslims, plenty of Christians, Sikhs, Hindus and various other religions too.  Its just when they reported offence its not news.

I did not quite follow the video.

 

About all I could pick out was the F-word.

 

Was he upset that a Muslim woman asked for bacon ?

 

Or that he had to touch bacon ? :huh:

...

Anyone that does not like Bacon is not a human being. :/

It's not even disliking bacon; it's disliking the word "bacon" on a sign. But then Vermont tries to be so politically correct and inoffensive, that we end up with everybody being offended. Yes, I live here. Winooski is about 30 minutes away.

What has happened to this generation? So what if you get offended? I am offended by every other story that they show on the News but I don't act all butthurt about it. I have heard out in public and on TV, people arguing because the have been "disrespected", is that even a word? People need to back up about 2 generations with their little feelings and expectations. People used to have integrity and character, now most are just a bag of sissified emotions that should be kept to themselves. I am so glad my Grandfather is not alive today to see what this nation has become. Just goes to show what happens when you have no Leader.

How many times have you heard about a Hindu's being offended by a sign depicting pork?

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
