    If you write the line......."We are Americans not Muslims" then you are ignorant of what it means to be both.

    It's not like some ammo maker came out with a bacon flavored .45 rd now is it? I could possibly see that as being offensive. but would still buy a case.

    Does it also apply to the business owner who took it down? A customer complained he responded. There was no legal action for him to take it down.

    Now idiots like yourself are threatening this business owner and his business calling him a terrorist and such. FKing idiots.

    I'm not saying that this is a Muslim thing or not. I'm asking why do you care because it's the business reacting to the market.

    We have become a nation of cowards caused by the PC police on the left. you better fall in line and not offend anyone no matter how trivial it is because we will publically humiliate you. we will drag you out into the public squire and tar and feather you so you best conform or face our wrath

    the left is violating people first amendment rights by silencing them through intimidation and extortion

    Yes it is. The market is everyone and everything. So when two people complain, the market is reacting to that.

    No, the market would be a majority of people complaining about this sign, not two people who have probably never eaten there.

    Speaking of signs, your obnoxious behavior speaks to your political leanings as well as being a sign of borderline personality disorder.

    Albertson's Market (now Savemart in some places) took down their isle sign a few years back...the one that said "MEXICAN FOOD" they replaced it with "HISPANIC FOOD". But ya know what? It's Mexican food. Tortillas, Salsas, refried beans, mole, etc. are Mexican foods..not Hispanic foods. They originated in Mexico. Not Seville or Havana or San Juan, Puerto Rico. M-E-X-I-C-O, Mexican food..Is it not politically correct to say Mexican food? Or Mexican, period? Then a lot of Mexican restaurants owned and operated by Mexicans better get busy re-doing their signs..cause the liberals will get em eventually..they apparently have a problem with Mexicans

    No, it's quite a bit different. Pornography destroys lives. Bacon doesn't.

    I know, everytime some hyper-sensitive fool gets offended, it's bad publicity.
    Not really. you've never heard the expression the expression, "bad publicity is better than no publicity at all."

    Do you remember the little temper tantrum the gay gestapo threw over Chick-a-Fillet? Customers came out in droves to support them.

    If the business owners made a decision to take down the highly offensive "Bacon" sign, that's fine. They're the owners of a private establishment, and they're decision is their own to make. But if they did happen to decided to take a stand against this idiotic pc bull(*)(*)(*)(*), I bet you my bottom dollar there would be enough people that would be more than happy to eat there, just to prove a point.

    Every last one of us is a bigot. Any time we disagree with the stance of someone else we are bigoted against their views.

    Bigot, bigoted, bigotry have all been watered down. Boy cries wolf.

    They are also unlikely to be customers. I doubt this restaurant is halal.

    Bacon can literally kill you...but do you want to live forever?

    Speaking with great authority on the subject, I love them both equally. :roflol:

    That's an opinion that hasn't been completely examined. The food police
    are all about saying it will, but nobody else is saying it.

    conventional wisdom says that a food that is 85% fat isn't the wisest dietary choice.

    srsly? have your ever seen bacon between the smoker and frying pan?

    People on low carb diets are just as healthy, if not more so, than those who limit or
    abstain from meat.
    Irrelevant, but I've seen salad between a plate and a smoker.

    i'm not saying don't eat bacon, or even to eat it in moderation. hell, deep fry it or cover it in chocolate if you want...just don't act shocked when you need a triple bypass.


    hey, you know what would be awesome? deep fried bacon COVERED in chocolate. :hungry:

    deep fried bacon is sometimes called chicken fired bacon...just throwing it in the fryer would actually be healthier if it was plant based oil.

    think about it....

    Tell me, why is it that about 1% of the population is able to pressure the government to have same sex marriage? Because it's not 2 people. It's a lot more people. Everyone has an opinion on an issue, so when someone you agree with says something, you tend to agree with them as well. So yes, when two people complain, the market reacts to them as well.

    A bigot is a bigot because they hold sterotypical ideas about a group of people to be true. If you treat everyone as an individual, then can't really be a bigot.
