Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Douglas Adams (Influential author) -
Yeah, I guess that there are lots of asians that will be offended if they no longer may eat porkBut judges at this year's Bett Award said that they had "concerns about the Asian community and the use of pigs raises cultural issues".
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Steven Weinberg -
Wait a minute- they had concerns about the Asian community and felt that it might offend Muslims?

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Uh, Theben... there are a TON of Muslims in Asia. Ever hear of Pakistan, India, the Philippines, or, oh, the place called the Middle East?
When Brits refer to the "Asian community" they are talking about South Asians, ie Pakistanis and Indians.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

next they'll censor the 3 little pigs because of the horrible violence displayed by the wolf against the proletariat class
this is horribly dumb.
the proper attitude is like this:
you read children's stories like they are
anyone who doesn't like it can piss off.
i mean, people from different cultures have different emotional baggages tied to different concepts. Some cultures like pigs, and some don't. That's fine and I respect that.
But there's no need for crybabies to piss all over their heritage and culture, trying to fit other people's concepts.
The whole point should be about tolerance - that people who dislike pigs can hold out watching a screenplay about it without going ape****.Comment

Different perspective, then. Even so the idea of 3 pigs being offensive is ludicrous.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
