i guess i don't see why it is such a big deal to scan it yourself. what is wrong with taking 2 seconds out of your day to accomodate someone's religion?

Well, lets look at it this way. I'm Catholic, although not exactly practicing.

Lets say I'm a server in a resturant, and you come in on Ash Wendsday with no ashes on your forehead. And I tell you I'm not going to serve you because you are not part of my religion.

I know that's a little bit different, but are you going to go get your own food at that point, and say it's not big deal? It has to stop somewhere.

I'm going to include a letter that was on another forum that I frequent, talking about just this matter. Yes, America is the Land of the Free, but when an immigrants "freedoms" infringe on another persons rights, I get a little irritated.

Let's say I break into your house

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!
It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors.
I've done all the things you don't like to do.
I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your h ouse).
According to the protes ters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you tr y to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.
I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah,
I DEMAND that you to learn MY LANGUAGE!!!
so you can communicate with me.

if u think about it they are pushing thier rediculous religion on u, making u not able to purchase the pork

from now on everytime i buy pork im looking for a dooner at the register just to chance that there might be a problem, the piece of shit will either not have a job after or be crying

So what if I were to get banned from a store, it would have been worth it. Like has been stated multiple times already, it's part of their job, if they don't want to do it, seeeee yaaaa.

Sure lisa, some "magical animal"

The pig, for even though it has divided hoofs and is cloven-footed, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. 8Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean for you.

It actually is in the old testament also.....

They are so against Pork because pigs roll in their own shit and coinsider them unclean for food or even to touch...........thats what i was told by one of them people.

That's funny... I know people who have done that too.

Though I guess pigs don't get completely plastered on a nightly basis.

i cant wait for the suicide bombings of the local super market, such a intelligent group of people

That's about right.
