Are you being serious?

You have to remember dude that as well as there being a lot of people in the anti racism group, Which is great.

There are also a lot of people in the Extreme part of that group who scream and cry "RACIST" as soon as you want to defend your rights and beliefs and a lot of the time those idiots make it worse for everyone else.

They don't make any money on bacon/ham in areas that don't have a pork eating majority. Profit, innit. Speaking of which, if they don't get any more customers from doing it they'll probably drop it.

Some of the linking it to Islam is a bit Daily Mail-ish.

I doubt there are many areas where there is a non pork eating majority. I have no problem with them selling hala, it is just the fact they are taking away the option for people who do eat pork. If I want a pork and ham sub I should be able to walk in to any subway and order one, not be told sorry sir we don't sell pork

No not really but it is a convenient logic that I found amusing.

It's not racist, Islam is not a race, It is a religion.

I know, what is the right word for discriminate against religion, I think religionist would have a different meaning.

Nothing logical about what you said dude.

I didn't think so, I just needed to check :lol:

I don't understand what isn't logical, if I had two beans and for religious reasons we couldn't have a bean each then throwing the beans away would make us equal.

Oh, and surely this is a good thing as it'll mean independent sandwich shops get more business (they tend to be a better deal as well imo).

They shouldn't do it at all, no one forces people to buy the non Hala stuff. They should give the option of having it or not having. Not just taking it away because of a few people.

No one is forcing anyone. Also, you'd be surprised how many areas where there is a majority of non pork eaters.

Again not logical dude so please just stop there, Appeasing 1 group by taking away from all groups isn't logical it's dumb, Plain and simple.

Exactly that's what was funny, hence my point :huh:

Religion (any religieon) is the root of all problems.. just sayin

 

[Feronix]

Guys, let's stay respectful towards each other and tone it down on the religious debate (although I understand that's the mean reason this thread exists, I want to ask you folks to keep personal opinion out of it as much as you can), nothing good can come of that

Well on the news the other day English schools are teaching English as a second language...don't get me started!

To be fair, it's important that it is taught so that we can all communicate with each other. The article said that even native speakers are to take the extra lessons, which are only an hour a week. In my opinion, that can only help, many native speakers have terrible literacy.

You mean that . You mean that one school in Leeds. The one in which 3/4 of students do not count English as their mother tongue (and no, that does not mean they can't speak english)? It'll help them do better in English (the actual qualification).
Lets actually help people become valuable members to society who'll pay tax and contribute to the economy.

I thought it was multiple schools? It still doesn't make sense though.

Nope, its just certain papers include schools that said they would consider it. It makes sense to me as it'll help the generation to speak better english, get better grades thus better prospects. Also, I think some people who speak english as their "mother tongue" would benefit from the extra lessons.

 

[ShaunB-91]

Ooo I don't know maybe I've miss-heard the story, I'll read the link you posted, I just heard "Schools are teaching English as a second language" my bad.

No worries, we all do that .

-edit- my friend sent me something and I rather foolishly opened it on my screen at work. It was some images from suicide girls :s.
NSFW to say the least :I.

Makes perfect sense, Generally in England there is a huge lack of pride, Ergo bend over for the people that hate and despise you.

A lot of the people I went to school with are of middle eastern decent, Good friends I might add and they generally think Europeans are dirt, Weak with no pride and everything I'm seeing in England is just proving them right.

I get shown stuff like that by a colleague every day...on Facebook! What happened to that site, why is there people shooting themselves in the face and look like something out of Stalker and then finish themselves with brains everywhere. There used to be a site for that (I won't post the name, incase its still out there) but it's just wrong.
