Bacon to be added to list of offensive words
well if liberals get their way...
Quote:Sneakers Bistro, a Winooski breakfast hot-spot, is one of several businesses that has voluntarily maintained a small garden on a plot of publicly owned land to help beautify the city. As part of “Operation Bloom,” participating businesses are allowed to post a small advertising sign in their garden. Sneakers decided to have fun with its sign at the bottom of the Winooski traffic circle.
“Yield for Sneakers Bacon,” it read
Last week, a Winooski woman who identified herself as a “vegan and member of a Muslim household,” posted a notice to Front Porch Forum, saying of the bacon sign: “Its insensitive and offensive to those who do not consume pork.”
Last Friday, Sneakers owner Marc Dysinger announced that the bacon sign would come down, saying he didn’t want to offend anyone.
Funny, Jews have been in this country for more than 200 years and never complained about bacon. I say send this broad to Iraq and see how see likes servicing ISIS.
Bacon is offensive

Bacon is not offensive. It is in fact wonderful. Especially wrapped around a hot dog...grilled and laid to rest in a potato bun smothered with onions and peppers.

If you have never had a bacon wrapped hotdog... you haven't lived yet!
By the way, she needs to go back to her country, if you don't like when people exercise their first amendment right, then you are in the wrong place.

As if people weren't getting fat enough. Did you put some butter or cream cheese on top as well?

did I sound like I was upset? Just because I am voicing my opinion, doesn't mean I am upset. Does she have the right to say whatever she wants? Hell yeah she does. If she doesn't like bacon, she doesn't have to look at that sign, she can put her hand up or turn away. She is impeding other people to voice their opinions. This business has the right to put anything they wants on a sign, as long as its in good taste.

You said she should leave the country. That sounds pretty darn upset to me. Much more upset than someone merely asking a restaurant to take down a sign, silly as that request might be.
And I am curious why you are so sure that she is not as American as you or I.

Hmmmmmmm, besides a sign with bacon on it what else might a Muslim ***** about? How about the Miss America contest, NFL cheerleaders, Catholics, policewomen, bars and liquor stores, Jimmy Dean's pork sausages, men being convicted of rape,...do I need to go on?

You can get emotions out of words? Believe me, you will be able to tell if I am upset.
