EGYPT orders all PIGS be put to the SWORD

You wanna be healthy Shielbh? Bacon.

@ sheilbh. those low fat thingees are scams. cream, butter, salt, red meat, are all awesome things.

what you want, ideally, are whole foods, as fresh and as unprocessed as possible. and eat a variety of things.

This is my attitude.  I use cream and butter and salt and sugar but my veg is vegbox stuff that's local, seasonal and organic.  My meat, generally speaking, comes from my local organic butcher and I bake my own bread

Much as I love pigs and their related meat products I think this is possibly a very good idea.

But then I've spent the past few days panicking about the oncoming pandemic.

If it makes you feel any better you're more likely to die from panic.

Lol. If you're going preserved meat go SPAM; much better.

This is actually kind of worrying.  Wonder how the Coptics are reacting to this? The Arab world's Christian (read: native, smarter, harder working and better looking) minority's position is increasingly precarious. 

They are?
I don't know much of them but I thought the Copts were quite marginalised and poor?

This reminds me, I met an egyptian once here in the army, in the master driver class.
He was a pog, of course, and was telling the other guys in the class how important Egypt was in Africa.
He made it sound like Egypt was a damn superpower.

I just mentioned how badly the egyptian army performed during the old biennial Bright Star US-Egypt exercises.
I don;t think the US Army stills do that shit. Waste of time and money.

Upon hearing my accent, he asked me were I was from.

Nothing funnier than to see how fast the face expression of a wanna-be master of this world changes at the mention of my tiny little homeland.

Priceless. For everything else there is mastercard.

To be fair, Egypt could probably crush Israel these days.

Egyptians are the "special" kids of the "civilized" world, film at 11.

No need for compensation? How about the fact that while the farmers can sell the pork, there's no way they'll get it all sold before it spoils, or the fact that by slaughtering the sows and piglets, you're effectively shutting down that entire arm of the agricultural sector? After this is all over, they're going to need a huge government subsidy just to get pigs back into the country to start farming for pork again.

You just want my attention.

You know perfectly arabs only excell at terrorism.

The moment they come up in a organized manner against real soldiers, they die like flies.

They have no survability whatsoever in the modern battlefield.

That's why they ressort to terrorism.

They do it because it works. Geez, I thought Neil was supposed to be the one who was trolling there.

Sure, they do it because it works, and because they don't know any other way to do it.

Just take a look at their goals, and you'll see terrorism is not gonna deliver the results they expect.

Hard to say.  The Muslims have been beating Israel pretty regularily lately.  It's not unreasonable to expect them to have picked up their conventional game too.

Want to bet that they won't get that subsidy?
This is starting to sound like a "lets harass the christians" measure.
