"Germany: Traditional sausages banned in public canteens out of respect to Muslims"

IBT: A regional branch of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party is fighting to keep pork on the menu in public canteens, with many institutions allegedly removing the meat from menus out of concern that religious minorities could be offended.

The proposal will be presented by the CDU's Schleswig-Holstein group in the state parliament's session next week. The group's parliamentary leader, Daniel Guenther, claims that pork products were being taken off the menu in schools, nurseries and canteens across the region.


"The protection of minorities - including for religious reasons - must not mean that the majority is overruled in their free decision by ill-conceived consideration," said Guenther, as quoted by Deutsche Welle, arguing that tolerance must mean "the appreciation and sufferance of other food cultures and lifestyles."

Bratwurst sausages and other pork products are at the heart of German cuisine, with pig farming particularly important in the northern state of Schleswig Holstein, where agricultural production is the source of 17 per cent of state revenues.

I was watching a Robin Hood movie this weekend starring Russell Crowe. He and his buddies [serfs] had to do battle with the overlord's troops a few times and I was thinking thank God they had swords or they'd be really screwed. Like we'd be if they took away our 2nd Amendment. And I am not saying we could defeat an army but at least we could inflict some damage on our overlords.

Hide the sausage, hide the smell of roasted pig, put away all signage with pigs on them, no advertisement with pigs, no pet pot-bellied pigs. No trained pigs on television shows depicting hot foreign New Yorker wives stuck in charming children of the corn town. No pig-related chew toys for dogs. No dogs.

However goats are most welcome. Honestly people, simply refocus your attention to goats.

Goats, goats, goats.

Because these peoples' book tells them not to touch pigs and dogs but goats are okay and although most do not read the thing they all live by the book. The book, the book, the book.

You know what is needed here is a countervailing contravening book!

A book, a book, a book!

Let's write one.

Here. I'll do a proper spazz, full on epileptic fit, I utter inspired things you make me prophet we set off to conquer the world by force by subterfuge by any means necessary. It does sound like a lot of trouble. Wait. This already started. Go Trump.

This morning I read the most ridiculous most brilliant summation that I've yet encountered regarding the Trump phenomenon. Tangential to the article at hand. Something about Rubio. The commenter said.

We gave you the House
We gave you the Senate
We gave you state governments
You gave us the finger
Go Trump

And I thought, wow, that bloody stupid and brilliant at the same time. I love it and hate it simultaneously.

Think of this, as you view these series of events summarized by massive movement of Muslims to mostly Europe and elsewhere and duly recognize this as existential threat, an invading army come to destroy you by your own generosity and inability to repel them. These are facts that cannot be denied.

From the opposite side, twirling the chess board and now earnestly playing the other side.

It is a straight up admission of civilization fail.

By evacuating in huge numbers you are admitting, you MUST admit that your civilization has failed. Who do you think you are, fucking Gengis Kahn? Do you fancy you bring your whole army with you? The best they can do is their pathetic attacks from within, that arrests our attention so thoroughly, while their entire civilization is absorbed by others that actually work. FAlL FAIL FAIL, goat goat goat fail, book book book fail. So FULL to saturation of repetitive fail.

Twirls chess board back.

What a pathetic civilization fail position you play, goat book civilization FAIL.

The very BEST they can do is affect change in their accommodating host until their civilization peters out completely by utter fail.
