Dutch Muslims & Jews united together

[Jacob]

Yeah, sorry for siding with defenseless animals over sadistic savages with knives. That indeed makes me horrible. I hope all the blood of dying animals keeps your warm inside, motherfucker.

I didn't know you were a militant vegan 

[Jacob]

That is a terrible example, since that accomodation was not reasonable at all.

It was quite reasonable.

[The Minsky Moment]

This isn't about a local gov't...and I guess then that's what you think religious freedom should be?

The level of government shouldn't matter.  A federal level restriction would be even more burdensome.

My own personal opinion is that government should make reasonable accommodation to religious practice.  Otherwise free exercise could easily be rendered ineffective by just targeting certain religious practices with rules that are drafted to appear of general applicability.

The kirpan?  That's pretty much on the borderline.

I would think that someone concerned with animal welfare would spend more time worrying about how animals live, rather than about the precise way that they die.  I'm pretty sure if you could ask a cow, they wouldn't be thrilled about any of the different means of slaughtering them.

Yeah.  If you really care about the welfare of feedstock animals, how they are treated before the time to butcher them should be of a lot more concern than how they are slaughtered. 

Personally, I don't really give a damn how they're treated as long as it doesn't hurt the quality of the meat that ends up on my table.  And I'm pretty sure that neither Marty or Slargos give a damn about the animals, either;  for them the issue is just a way to stick it to the Jews and Moslems.

[Slargos]

Religious freedom doesn't mean you can do anything your stone age book says.

No, it doesn't, but killing animals is something that is not considered unacceptable.  Unless you're some sort of faggot like Martinus or Slargos.

Sometimes I wonder about you.

Yes, my main concern lies with sticking it to the semitic races.

However, the notion that you should be allowed to treat your animals whichever way you care to is appalling.

[jimmy olsen]

Yes, your silly ancient desert fairy tale tells you to torture animals. Your non-existent god is a sadist, I get that. You want me to respect your war criminal torturist paedophile murderer rapist bandit thief of a prophet, I get that. I'm sorry, but fuck you.

It's an amusing issue to tie yourself to the mast over. And it's sad that the Jews think it's a good idea to be seen on the same team as the Arabs.

Agreed.

You and Slargos do have a lot in common.

We don't like retards who follow bronze age customs in the 21st century. Yes.

3rd Century BC greece was bronze age

Well, they don't have a choice. The Dutch and other euroracists are looking around for a way to persecute the Muslims. Of course they're going to revive their old anti-Semitic progrom techniques. It's acceptable and in some cases even welcome collateral damage.

You're judged by the company you keep.

[Slargos]

Yeah well if being against the legalized torture of animals forces me into the faggotry camp, then so be it.

You're not especially interested in that.  What you are interested in is using a wedge issue to preach hate.  You are impure.  You remind me of the anti-evolutionist lobby.
