    In addition to pigs not being clean that posters have posted, pigs don't have many functional sweat glands. Therefore, most of their sweat isn't excreted. At least to me, that is gross.

    We also all love Jerry Springer...hell, most of us have made an appearance. But I see you already know what Americans are all about. You, sir, are a smart man. Always seeing the truth, never blinded by outside influences. I admire you.

    Guess you missed this little part of the equation. Isn't just muslims that apparently have it written somewhere. Christians and Jews are in the same boat.

    Try not to show that you are a complete ignorant part of society. Have a discussion and give your point of views instead of looking like a 5 year old trying to pick on others beliefs.

    ^^

    To be fair, maybe he thinks Christians and Jews are stupid too.

    Are you not picking on his beliefs now?

    Then he can clearly come out and say that is the case.

    I just irks me no matter what the context or debate when someone says something ignorant. Whether it's religion or basketball, just come to the table with something useful and leave the BS child stuff out of it. I will completely listen and hear your points if you have something valid to say.

    I'm not picking on his beliefs with my statement. I am just stating that you can have a conversation or an opinion in a more adult manner. You can have any thoughts you want but convey them properly.

    Serious answer, I think it has hygienic reasons which made sense at the time. Most of those ancient books like bible and quran are a mix of spiritual advice and practical life guidance. If you look at it today, I would claim there is no real reason not to eat it. That said, I don't eat it much if at all, just a matter of taste.

    I was about to say "fair enough"...but then I reread your post.

    He says "...because a stupid book tells them so..." or something of that nature.

    For the record: I think the bible, quran, tanank, ginza rba, sruti, and all books by L. Ron Hubbard are complete, utter BS created by men to control other stupid men.

    So, you are saying because he didn't specifically identify ALL religious books (written by man) as stupid, THIS is what you take offense to? You claim that you'll listen to any "valid" point but it seems as if you're just mad b/c you think he's downing on your religion and only your religion. Please elaborate.

    Much clearer and concise statement. Now that I see you aren't picking out one specific book then your okay to hate all books equally lol.

    I've never had pork..

    A few weeks ago I tried to have some, I just couldn't. If you've grown up a Muslim, they pump so much **** inside your head about pork that at some point you don't know what's true or not, and you don't knowwhere it is in your head but it's in there somewhere.

    It's mental I think. Even if somehow you lifted the ban for Muslims, most of the first generation wouldn't have any.

    I'll probably try again a few more times, but I don't think I'll succeed. Since I'm allergic to seafood, I'm pretty much stuck with beef and chicken.

    I'm now trying raindeer and camel. I hear it's goood.
