Germany Gives Up Pork for Migrants

[Classic]

Not sure what to say about this really, makes no sense to me. Trading bacon for migrants?

That will probably be the next proposal from the White House.

My thoughts are that the White House has been pork free for some years now....

When did Reggie Love get banished? I think there was some porking going on prior to that.

That sounds too win/win for being a true sacrifice.

Now if we can only get congress to go pork-free

This story is the wurst.

So, let me get this straight. They ban pork to not offend Muslim refugees, but are perfectly fine offending Jewish citizens (and refugees, for that matter) for how many years? Well, the ones they didn't murder, at least.

Geez man, everybody goes on a genocidal bender every few generations. Cut 'em some slack.

I'm surprised Merkel's own party are the ones fighting this.

Uh guys, the Daily Express is a tabloid.

 

[OakRiver]

Huh. I was under the impression that if Westerners go to another country and force our standards on them that was cultural imperialism. But if others come to a Western country and force their standards on us we are being discriminatory if we do not comply.

Did they ban whole milk, too? I saw on INGO the US did, so it must be true.

Simply inflammatory muckraking to drive traffic..and it works.

Do you guys ever read a news headline and think "Wow, I can't believe that!" That's what I thought about this one. Except I actually, literally, don't believe it.

And I was right. So was BBI. 'Germany' didn't 'ban' anything. A few schools and cafes opted to remove pork from their menus. And a few politicians are acting like it's the end of the world.

I doubt I have to tell you, but lots of people are willing to believe the most outlandish stuff, as long as it syncs with a certain outlook.
