You hardly have to bend over backwards to not give a Muslim bacon though. That's my point - had it been a mistake, it'd be one thing, but he's gone out of his way to do it, which is another story. It'd be the same as a Muslim giving a Christian a model depicting Christ, with a huge nail driven through its face. "Oh, sorry mate, thought it'd be funny." It really isn't. I think it's funny, at least to an extent, to give a vegetarian a pound of sausages, or give someone who is dieting a huge tub of ice cream. As far as religious toleration goes, I've snapped on this issue. I don't give a shit anymore! If your religious sensitivities are inflamed by a simple joke, you're a misery, and you should lighten up and shut up! *I know, I must be ill*

They put big posh words in articles just for the sake of it. Now most know what they mean but there are much simpler ways of putting things. Seems they want to appeal to a more 'educated' audience.

Bandwagons and moral high ground. What about them? I'm not jumping on a bandwagon if that's what you mean, I just think that (diplomacy aside) all the major religions are bunk, and I've passed the tipping-point, why the hell should we tiptoe around people?! Dunno what you mean about "moral high ground" at all

Dunno what you mean about "moral high ground" at all I meant when a story like this breaks people want to jump on bandwagons and take the moral high ground before looking like being on one side or the other. No you mate.
