Morals (and thus the public opinion on "right or wrong") tend to change over time. The point of most constitutions is to set down basic principles that should never be changed.

Hail Satan!

Technically true, abused choir boys are allowed to live with their trauma… I still fail to see why this means the end of the occident.

The actual news would be ~180 Subway shops are switching to Halal suppliers (which would not supply pork). And I am still offended. Since when is that a legitimate argument? I'm offended by how ****** blue the sky is. And how unoriginal your name is. Why should anybody give a **** about people bein...

Would range even matter? A few pieces of lead with 1km/s Δv should obey orbital mechanics like everything else, shouldn't they?

Well, manned spacecraft tend to be strong enough to survive micrometeorites and have heat shields. The few weapons that have been brought to space (mainly autocannons as on the Almaz stations) are almost weak in comparison to what the environment can throw at them.

Because members of the royal line are somehow guaranteed to be "smart" and will run the country well, you mean?

No, but armed rebellions are so much more exciting than elections.

Also note that most current spacecraft simply don't bother pressurizing non-crew-carrying parts of ship (or station) in the first place. Hamilton's Armageddon series had a similar approach: Crews were stored in small, armoured sections that doubled as escape/rescue pods, the remaining/surrounding 60...

I'm fairly sure getting that to work is easier than writing USB drivers from scratch…

We told you to put it into a VM.

Well, that's all I add to this topic.

Indeed. We shall fight the bourgeoisie and their greedy profit maximisation! To arms, comrades!

Excuse me? What does my nationality have to do with this?

Technically it doesn't have to be meat to be (non-)halal, wrongly prepared industrial waste probably counts as well.

Just because you do not agree with our opinions doesn't mean we are not allowed to have them. :roll: That's the best you can come up with? "Well technically speaking my opinion isn't illegal"? Congratulations. :P I think people don't like the idea that one by one, bit by tiny bit, a country that ha...

Not all their stores but 200 of them, most of which likely had non Muslim customers too, not that they seem to count for anything these days...

@brucewarren: I agree. They could've added the halal meat, but they didn't, they replaced the pork by it. I wonder if they'll bring back the prok if asked for by some customers? I doubt it. Subway is a capitalist company, they want to make money. You can bet your ass they will, if they'd gain custo...

That's no really no different than having a vegetarian option, or a kosher option for Orthodox Jews or various options for many different sorts of customers Main problem here is that it just doesn't work, at least not in fast-food restaurants. The kitchen space is often too cramped to separate the ...

Yes. Subway is selling what their customers want to buy. How shocking. What else should they do? Make a five-year plan and force people to eat what the Party wants?
