Halal, is it meat you're looking for?

It's very relevant. Why aren't you up in arms about American business (like Subway) coming over here and shutting down places like Wimpy if you don't like change? You just don't like change to your own little bubble.

The real question is, why would anyone care that Wimpy shut down? It was utter garbage.
 
Because Wimpy lost out due to not being a viable business model?

If the minority want to open their own Halal version of Subway and it ends up pushing Subway out of business, then fair play to them.

No one has frothed anywhere apart from yourself here, seems you don't like your own advice and your answer is "I was here/there first". Do you think that is relevant?

Totally relevant. And it was you who was frothing crap - I mean you tried to argue a point that was never made in the first place?

Rule 1. Read the post you're trying to counter.

Was it pandering to minorities or a business decision that was economically beneficial to them? Perhaps subways thought you are a minority within their customer range and the majority + some extra now will use their store?
Ah, I assume you're now going to pretend that Em3ebbs point was the one you were making all along, how predictable.

And of course I'm going to try and defend my view. I happen to like the BMT and don't want to lose it?
 
people are concerned with how animals are reared, you can't say that and assume no one cares.

I can and I am suggesting that most of the people campaigning to keep kfc non halal care not for the animals life at all.

Just dressing their disdain for all things muslim up as an issue for animal rights. (not saying people on here specifically) but many people in general all the people that harp on about halal food on a BNP fora for example I highly doubt they care one bit for any animal.

I don't see them campaigning against trawling but HALAL that's cruel......

They'll moan about Spanish fishing too but not our own.....
 
Yes but there is also very little chance of your imagined law actually becoming a reality any time soon... telling muslims they should either ditch halal or become vegetarians isn't something any mainstream political party is going to attempt to do in the real world (aside from perhaps UKIP).

I agree soon, nit a chance. at some point in the future very likely.
As time move forwards we are getting mire and more humane. Unfortunately it's a snail pace, I' believe if school children were educated, progress would be made faster. Our modern removal from the food source is not health or good for society. It allows both practices and substances into the food chain, that the mass public would not accept if it was in their faces weekly, rather than once every few years on dome TV show they can easily turn off.

If you can't kill you shouldn't eat.

I xample I highly doubt they care one bit for any animal.

.....

A lot of people do when shown, it's just not in their face all the time unfortunately, and easily forgotten thanks to how we are made.

There is.
Did you miss the fish fight and the pubic backlash.

Perhaps you don't realise the point you made.

Yes the point I stole within mere seconds of his posting and managed to type up within seconds. Not forgetting its one discussed over the last 3 threads on the topic.

"Therefore why should it change?"

Was actually a reply on this, which was a different topic, hence a different reply.

And of course I'm going to try and defend my view. I happen to like the BMT and don't want to lose it?

That's great, **** off and shop elsewhere, your own advice. Vote with your $, as that's what subways are concerned about.

No I fully understand. You just don't have any counter so type crap until another poster saves you. :D

I will. But I shouldn't have to - as said above, I was there first.

Is it so alien that someone would try and defend something they enjoy and like?

Thing is, where will it all stop? Clothes shops banned from selling swimwear next!

Nobody has been banned from selling anything.

Some Subways have decided that they will make more money from switching to halal and not selling pork. Most Subways haven't and you can still get pork products in them.

Don't let facts get in the way of ignorance. GD likes a good bit of xenophobia.

If you don't like the place serving it, **** off.

All I said is you do the same, not sure why this is so difficult for you to comprehend. :o

I will. But I shouldn't have to - as said above, I was there first.

What has you being there first got to do with it? First where, at your particular branch of subways? Has you particular branch of subways stopped serving what you desire. Or all subways in general? Perhaps some franchises started halal, then what? Does your "i was there first" count?

You should, but not by telling others to **** off if your not willing to take your own advice.

pork should be available in all! its personnel choice I have had that choice taken away from me to pander to a minority.

What rubbish, but then it is you. Why sell something that is not profitable. Those stores have decided it is not worth selling, zero wrong with it.

It would be like forcing a farm shop to sell Tesco value chicken. Mo one would buy it and goes against the believes of the vast majority of their customers.

The point is that I shouldn't have to change what I eat from the menu when it has been in place for a number of years.

For example, I do not go into restaurants that serve fish and rant hard about my seafood allergy until they change the menu. That would be selfish to those who do like fish, and who do eat it.

My point is - and always has been - is that the menu has been changed in a detrimental way to myself, having been in place for a number of years, in order to pander to a minority.

I am naturally, not happy about this at all - as I tend to like going into Subway to order one of the products that will be removed.

You should, but not by telling others what they like to **** off if your not willing to take your own advice.

I can do what I like. If people don't like Subway serving bacon and ham they should **** off. There are plenty of other places that don't serve them - or they can always start up their own business if it's so important!

So you want to force a company to stock a product even if it costs them customers? Sounds a touch authoritarian to me.
