I've never eaten a Subway so I don't give a rats either. What offends me is Subway pandering to the Muslim's and Sharia.
Subway is just another sandwich shop...you go in, get in line, and when you get to the end of the line they hand you your sandwich. Jim is right when he says:
I have to tell you, I'm Jewish, and I don't give a fuck if Subway serves pork in their stores.
That's why I can't figure out why the Muslims are so up in arms about them serving pork...UNLESS, as I said before, there is some sort of prohibition about pork and whatever may have touched it like the Kosher contact requirements in the Jewish faith.
I agree...too many people wanting to bend over for the Muslims...and not enough politicians wanting to bend over to help their own constituents.
I've watched it happen, though, in a suburb of Houston (not the Muslim thing, but similar). The "town" of Alief, TX started to attract a number of oriental immigrants and soon the town was so heavily populated with orientals that they have taken over the electorial system...have gotten the city commissioners on the board to reflect the cultural majority and so now things like street signs are springing up in some sort of oriental script. How much longer will it be before the city commissioners ban pork products within the city boundaries? And....get this.....it would be all legal if it were an issue that would have gained support from the majority of the voters.
Population densities are a big thing in education right now, which is attempting to assimilate all cultures/minorities. You can't govern where individuals of any one culture live and that's what happens...there are schools where I worked before that were 97% African-American, now there are so many hispanics in those neighborhoods that the schools are all "Bilingual" schools with programs to teach those who cannot learn in English how to listen to and speak English well enough to get along in our educational system. It could happen with the Muslim populations, too.
Things sure are different now than when our Constitution was drafted by those "Founding Fathers", don't you think?????
Cheers!
