Militants? I thought we shot them in Iraq before they could come over here.

BTW in the wild pigs won't eat their own ****. It's only when people lock them into little cages that the animals go a bit crazy and start doing that. I note that chickens locked into tiny cages start doing the same thing as well as pull out most of their feathers and eat their own fecies. It's a sign of stress and a result of being confined in a tiny area their whole lives.

Um, ok. That scene from Pulp Fiction rocks anyways.

By the way, in case it wasn't clear from my post: the group handing out "identity soup" is a bunch of *******s.

Repeat after me

"pigs are friends, not food"

They wouldn't taste so good if they weren't food.

the lesser of two evils is preventing the homeless being fed, even if it is only some of homeless. that's some bull**** morality you've got there.

AFAIK, the homeless in Paris don't lack any food source. There are many charities serving food, especially in a place such as Paris (a homeless in a remote city can have more trouble getting food).

The homeless's real problem is about finding a home (duh), a job, a social life, a future. Hunger strikes me as being the need that is the best catered for (because it's infinitely cheaper than housing)

Just like the people who object to this right now. Food for the poor is food for the poor, no matter who is giving it, and no matter what the intention behind it.

All these moronic (and eventually dangerous) anti-discrimination laws violate the fundamental right to free association.

Remind me... What was your position about the Christian missionaries who brought relief after the Tsunami, with the only aim of converting Indians to Christianism, and using the charity as a means to achieve that end?

The slippery slope i referred to is from CALLING some speech bad, to censoring. Calling some speech bad isnt censorship, its just MORE free speech. Ditto protesting at such a kitchen.

i think we have our wires crossed slightly.

the censorship i was referring to was the actual banning of the soup kitchen.

i'm all for free speech, and for people making their views on 'bad' speech known, that's great. even if i think the protestors in the case could of done something better with their energies, i fully support their right to protest.

i think the ratio of good/bad in this group's actions is something which reasonable people can disagree about, but whatever one thinks about it, the authorities shouldn't be getting involved.

It isn't shocking that religious groups want to convert people but as long as they're doing charity work (I.E. helping the needy and improving community instead of simply stirring up hatred) then they should be free to do what they wish.

I don't really disagree, though I found it quite immoral when people use charity (something nobody can disagree with) as a tool with the sole purpose of furthering their agenda (an agenda which is disagreeable).

But I specifically called on aneeshm, because IIRC he didn't like those missionaries at all. I may be wrong though. However, if I'm right, that makes him a hypocrite.

Bull****. Any time there is an interesting protest it's in the media both main stream and nonmain stream (blogs, community papers, what not).

Shows what you know.

Indeed, I didn't even bother.
