Wow! Some of the people here are really angry. Why so much hate? Yes, what the women did was not the best example of her religion, but I still respect the religion and their people. It is easy to get angry at the certain religion due to the activists. But the hate on this thread is: wow. I don't see why this makes everyone so angry. It's annoying, but no reason to attack people.

 

i don't know why? maybe because the increase of that religion in their own countries is destabilizing the social order. there are no go zones across western europe where native europeans can't go for fear of being attacked. nothing good ever happens where ever islam goes.

Max Krassman: Say goodbye to your frog, pig!
Miss Piggy: Why should I?
Max Krassman: Because in 10 seconds, he won't know *you* from kosher bacon.

 

 

Don't know why that suddenly came to me ? saw the movie almost 35 years ago.

while i agree with you, there fellow neowiner who in denials about the no go zones.

It is clear the customer did something other than order Bacon that made him shout what he did, would be interesting to see the before events.  Either way KFC took the customer is always right attitude and suspended the employee

 

From the video its seems that the customer just asked for bacon and the guy flipped out, hence why the other employee says there is no bacon. Also we don't know if KFC suspended the employee the person who quoted me earlier was clearly making up stuff because he didn't even know what retail chain it happened in.

Out of interest, how many of you are offended by dog-meat restaurants?

 

If i was in a country that routinely and traditionally eats dog meat then i'd both not be and also have no right to be offended by it.

 

The amount of western travelers to countries that serve dog meat is huge, but i've never seen any news about them throwing their toys out of the pram about it.

It started with a post from one woman who wrote that the sign was insensitive to those who do not consume pork. She said as a vegan living in a Muslim household she is personally offended by it.

 

I prefer not to read anything from jihadwatch as it is heavily biased.

 

The above quote was taken from the source. It did not say that the woman is a Muslim, but living in a Muslim household. Who knows, maybe she is renting a room there and gets food there. 

^ On the few occasions where I've spent more than a couple of weeks in another country, I've always made it a point to make sure I'm not doing anything against local laws & customs in public places.  That included, when I lived in Florida for 6 months back in the 80's, letting my neighbours drag me to their local church because, well, everyone went to church!

 

I didn't kick up a fuss, and I saw no point in telling them I was an atheist.  It cost me nothing to sing a couple of songs, and it made my friends there happy.  They just wanted to include me in their community, and that was nice. :)

 

^^^ This post should be pinned at the top of the forum for all future and past discussions on similar topics, as it is just so damn spot on

The guy was clearly unfit for a job in fast food. He could have calmly replied that they do not sell bacon.

He's pretty lucky because if he'd tried that in my home town the customer would have leapt the counter and taught him a valuable life lesson.

You need to read the whole story from a better placed source than the one OP posted. The restaurant placed those ads in the woman's neighbourhood, if you read the reports and the Facebook pages there were more from her neighbourhood that objected to the placing of the ad, some of them were patrons of the restaurant.  You do the math. 

 

 

I guess if she lives in a neighborhood she can dictate what advertising takes place there? Was the ad racist? Sexist? Graphically violent? No. They would all be valid reasons to object, her superstitious view on pork is not.

 

Just so everyone is clear, this is the offending sign:

That's it. Poor women must have been shaken to the core when she saw this ghastly affront to her world view. :rolleyes:

When I lived in China, I would see dog meat in the grocery store fairly often. There's nothing to get offended about. It's a different country/culture.

 

I lived there on and off for 8 years, and there were plenty of things that I saw that I didn't like. Not once did I throw a hissy fit and demand them to change things to accommodate me. It blows my mind that people have the audacity to do that here, and even more so that we accommodate them instead of telling them to STFU and go back to their country if they don't like the way we do things here.

there should been study to show which group that loves to throw hissy fit, just because it "offend" their superstitious belief,

and i curious other than muslims is there any groups that would rival them?

They need a group to counter ISIS. They can call it PORK. People Opposing Religious Killers.

 

Capture them and force them to eat bacon.

 

Do I send you the check?    ;)

I dont eat pork - the sign wouldnt bother me at all - just like a sign for women's hygeine products - it simply doesnt apply to me.

Can you imagine what would happen if some non-muslim went to some muslim country and started complaining ?

Reason # 33495786394578   why I hate [insert group here]

She doesn't say anything in the video, she never calls him a bitch. The muslim guy behind the counter who goes nuts is the one who calls her a bitch.

 

Its interesting that you have found many reports about how this happened and even one from Subway that says that the customer harassed their employee but they still had to suspend the employee to cover their asses considering this happened in a KFC fast food outlet rather than a Subway...

 

Not sure why you think Subway is part of the muslim fast food outlets, its actually from the US and so is KFC which is where the video actually took place. (Did you even watch the video?)

 

 

Not sure if you bothered to pay attention to video at all because the angry clearly said "who you calling a bitch," I can only assume you have a problem with some who is Muslim or you would not back up the crazy lady who felt the need to record a argument that she started half way.

 

 

It is interesting how short sighted you are when there is clearly two sides of the story but media like FOX News felt to report half ass which is typical when it comes from Conservative news.

He says "Don't record me bitch, don't ######ing record me", I think you need to clean out your ears, he never said 'who you calling a bitch'.

 

The video was never on FOX news, its a video a youtuber posted to their channel when a friend of theirs got harassed by a KFC employee when she asked for bacon on a chicken burger.

 

Obviously there is always going to be two sides to a story and I'm going to believe the side that has video footage, not the side that gets even angrier when they are being recorded.

    • Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.
    • Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...
    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
