Let’s see we are worried about whether someone is offended over a sandwich, but the ACLU wants to sue Catholic hospitals because they don’t want to kill babies.
Offended by a sandwich:
This MUST NOT happen!
Catholics don’t want to kill a baby:
Kill the baby or be sued, the monsters don’t care if you’re offended.
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”
~ William F. Buckley
That said, after 30 years of working in such companies, my recommendation is that you NEVER use them! You are better off going to the food truck outside or going to a local restaurant or deli for your lunch. Or as last resort, bring a lunch that does not need refrigeration.
That is because the office refrigerator is a seething hotbed of Machiavellian intrigue in which co-workers will eventually accuse you of stealing their tuna fish sandwich or substituting their yogurt with one that has an expired "best by" date on it. The possibilities of being accused of something are endless.
But that's not even the worse part. The office refrigerator is probably the most unsanitary part of the entire workplace. Think of your eccentric aunt with the 30 cats who wraps all her leftovers in tin foil and shoves them into the refrigerator. Then multiply the smell by 10x and that approximates the smell of the office refrigerator.
For those who work in large corporations, how many times have you gotten the memo that you need to have everything out of the refrigerator by 5pm on Friday? That is because on Saturday morning, they bring in the men in haz-mat suits to clean the thing out.
Will CoExist House recommend that water fountains and food kitchens be closed for Ramadan? Don’t want the non-Mulsims insult the Muslims be eating and drinking during Ramadan.
It reminds me of the bumper sticker that is in response to the “CoExist” bumper sticker.
It's hard to coexist when one of the symbols of “faith” wants to kill the other ones.
So much for Co-Existing.
I don’t usually cook food at work, but we do have microwaves. I just got a sudden craving for the smell of microwave bacon. Yum.
If I don’t feel like drinking an alcoholic beverage at a social event, I don’t. I choose 7-UP or water but I certainly don’t feel offended if anyone does choose those
beverages.
What if you find it offensive these are not served?
This article references Britain, not the USA, but happened to show up at the Yahoo news site. I doubt the idea will go over very much better with your average Bacon Butty and Banger eating Brit than it would here.
“New guidelines proposed by interfaith group CoExist House say that employers should consider workers religions before allowing ham sandwiches placed in the fridge alongside other products.”
So a business will have to ban pork to satisfy religious observers, but the same businesses that have religious observers are force to accept abortions.
Another of the viral email series: MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN (MENU) EXPLAINS WHY
Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why
Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because thats where they chose to immigrate.They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec.They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims
(whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.
And if Canada is a land of welcome, its not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain. The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.
For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah.
If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.
Ask yourself the question, just once, Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?
A canteen with pork is part of the answer.
This what happens when things get PC! Send the muslims beck to their home countries if they want to live under the sharia law!!! Also, send all of the asswipes that agree with them!!!
Sounds like microagression. /s
Stop the H8. Let me eat pork.
Over my dead body.
No. I would start eating bacon daily if I encountered a silly demand like this. Free men do not bow down to unreasonable orders. Intelligent people learned that long ago, and the slow learners should have learned that over the past six and a half terrible years under the thug from Chicago/Hawaii/Indonesia.
...and to the false prophet Mohammed...PBUH (Pigs Be Upon Him!)
To the group: fuch off.
They dont have to participate, or use the fridge.
Enough of this bending over bullsh1t.
Where have they ever considered this for Chirstians on any real matters.
BTTT
F Islam and the horse it rode in on, and F the spineless weenies behind this movement.
