The Megathread - Idle Banters Virtual Bar

Yes and that makes it a religious meat. if it wasnt it would be slaughtered like normal, its benn slaughtered specifically for a religion

[Milky Bar Kid]

You do realise its how they used to slaughter animals here anyway? Before the invention of bolt guns?

[Wideboy]

Whats that got to do with it? halal is a religious way of killing an animal for a religious food, otherwise the animal would be killed just the same as all the rest are in a generic process..... was it called halal back years ago before bolt guns, electric pools ect?

i dont want to eat anything religous regardless of its origin its not specifically something against islam

[robh539]

i dont want to eat anything religous regardless of its origin its not specifically something against islam

no eating bread or fish then ;)

Ahhh sat at the bridge with a brew and only the voices in my head for company!

Or Christmas cake or pudding....or mince pies, or the turkeys specifically slaughter for Christmas dinner or anything else Christmas related?:smt019

It was called halal years back, just not in this country!!!!!

[Geodude]

What, mince pies are slaughtered ;)

[Wideboy]

you can buy it year round. where does it state turkey, mince pies ect in the bible? there are two types of christmas, commercial christmas and the christian christmas are totally different things just like easter

[Milky Bar Kid]

Ahhh, see now you are just cherry picking rules! They are still specifically religious foods.

But anyway, I need to go.

You best get checking all of your food from now on. As well as checking with every single fast food vendor you use as to whether or not the meat is halal.
There's no point deciding you don't want to eat it once because you read the small print, and then end up eating it everywhere else without knowing.

[Wideboy]

Turkey isnt a religious food and neither is mince pies?? nor are they prepared in a religious way so how is that cherry picking the rules? :lol:

[minimorecambe]

Bloody hell Gav what have you started!!!

Eat what you want, believe what you want - free will to all men and all that jazzy stuff :)

[Wideboy]

I know this is how warw start!

i know most places sell halal meat and i probably eat it every other day without knowing, some resturants ect sell it without informing you. there is obviously nothing wrong with eating it but its still wrong to do it

[anna]

I dont see there being any difference in selling stuff to you in the restaurant and not telling you it Halal meat or not and the selling of an omelette which may or many not have free range eggs in it.

If you are bothered you ask about it, otherwise do as you did read the packet and if you dont want it dont buy it, based on whatever decision you make. SIMPLE

Afternoon all btw.

[minimorecambe]

My bike looks like I have been offroading :-?
Time for a clean I think

[Wideboy]

because its not right, as i say, yet again... there is no problem with halal meat itself its the principal, a muslim wont eat non halal meat and thats their right, i chose not to eat halal meat as thats my right but your all reading this as i have a problem with muslims... living in a free country i have the choice whether or not i want to do something therefore it should be clearly branded when its halal meat, probably 50% of meat products contains halal meat without it being stated and tho's selling it wouldn't know if it was or wasn't, so what am i to do?. i want to choose whether or not i want to eat it. its on the same lines as people that only buy and eat british meat or when food is branded for vegans

[lily]

but your all reading this as i have a problem with muslims...

didn't read as that AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wideboy]

Then why is there an big issue with me choosing not to want to eat halal meat?

[lily]

I didn't think there was all I said was how halal meat was killed!

[anna]

didn't read as that AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

It isnt a big deal hun, everything you buy in supermarkets will be labelled with it on or not, the restaurants will be able to tell you if it is or not, so they arent misleading you... you found it after all after reading the packet.

[Reeder]

I know this is how warw start!

i know most places sell halal meat and i probably eat it every other day without knowing, some resturants ect sell it without informing you. there is obviously nothing wrong with eating it but its still wrong to do it

So why didn't you eat it?

[minimorecambe]

So why didn't you eat it?

Probably for the same reason I wouldn't eat battery eggs / chicken.
Its the ethical side of it.

[Wideboy]

Because i dont agree with the way the animal is slaughtered which turns this all in a big circle back to the original post in this discussion :D

[munkygunn182]

afternoon all! Looks like i've turned up at a heavy moment?

[Reeder]

Because i dont agree with the way the animal is slaughtered which turns this all in a big circle back to the original post in this discussion :D

So referring back an earlier post of mine, are you going to ask how all of your meat that you're about to eat has been slaughtered in future? There's no point saying you don't agree with it, but then continuing to eat it from other sources in the future.

[anna]

I dont care that i've wasted, dont sell me the meat and try and hide the fact its religious, it should all be banned regardless of what religion it is

No I totally understand that you dont agree with the ethics of it. I was just trying to point out that no one had hidden the fact from you.. it was labelled as such on the product.

Anyway I hope everyones afternoon is going well I am off to try and get a copy of my criminal record, to prove to the agencies I dont have one :rolleyes: Why is everything always complicated here :rolleyes:

[Wideboy]

I already do, if its note stated i ask and 9 times out of 10 the answer i get is "duno" just like british produce ect

[minimorecambe]

afternoon all! Looks like i've turned up at a heavy moment?

No its just a friendly discussion that seems to be travelling round in a cirle

[Reeder]

Best not eat the meat when people say 'duno' then, just incase it's against your ethics. Can't risk it can you...

[Reeder]

No its just a friendly discussion that seems to be travelling round in a cirle

How is me asking if he's going to ask people if it's halal meat going round in circles?

[minimorecambe]

How is me asking if he's going to ask people if it's halal meat going round in circles?

Did I mention your name?

[Reeder]

Did I mention your name?

When you wrote you comment, was it going round in circles?

[minimorecambe]

Well it want exactly going anywhere!
I shall keep out of this I think

[Reeder]

:-s Yes it was. I was trying to establish whether or not he was going to be proactive and ask about how the meat was slaughtered in order to stick to his beliefs, rather than just eating any old meat until he finds out that it's halal by chance.

[Wideboy]

He?? i have a name

[Reeder]

Gavin. I do apologise.

[Bibio]

if you dont want to eat religious meat wideboy then i would suggest that you eat pork.

personally i prefer halal meat rather than the chemical ridden water injected tasteless meat that seems to be the trend in this country at the moment.

if a catholic kills a cow in an abattoir singing hymns does that make it religious meat?

[Bibio]

afnoon btw peeps.

[Reeder]

Yo bibs.

Seems like this subject needs its own thread.

[Bibio]

seems i have scared off the afternoon posse.

[munkygunn182]

Hey bibio, hows things?

[Bibio]

tired. mrs b decided to have a 'road drill' night last night. think i'll get her settled and go for a bath and let the sprogs run around after her for a while.

[minimorecambe]

Hi Bib :)

Just been changing the oil in my baby girl :)
ACF50 for her next

[Bibio]

good girl. hope you put a new genuine oil filter on as well.

[minimorecambe]

She has had everthing done that she needs ;)

[Bibio]

everything? carbs ballanced, TPS adjusted, bolts/fixings checked for torque, swingarm and headstock greased up, linkages greased up.

[minimorecambe]

OK she has everything done that involves her oil and that I am able to do being the incompitent person that I am

[Wideboy]

Im hear bibiobiobiobiobio, was dealing with a feck up

[Bibio]

i'm not being patronising when i say this MM, but you have made sure that you have got the correct level of oil and not done what some people have done and keep filling it on the side stand till it reaches the 'max' mark.

[Bibio]

:smt107 Remind me not to play murder in the dark with you then!
I am too young to die :p

[Bibio]

if we were in a dark room together the last thing i would be doing is murdering you.

[Reeder]

:-s Yes it was. I was trying to establish whether or not he was going to be proactive and ask about how the meat was slaughtered in order to stick to his beliefs, rather than just eating any old meat until he finds out that it's halal by chance.
....

Infact you're right and you did answer that question, however I stated this and would like to know if it's what you're going to do.

'Best not eat the meat when people say 'duno' then, just incase it's against your ethics. Can't risk it can you... '

So will you avoid eating the meat when people say dunno?

[minimorecambe]

if we were in a dark room together the last thing i would be doing is murdering you.

Lol silly sod :rolleyes:

[Bibio]

sod :rolleyes:

yes you would probably get that to ;)

I did infact answer it in that way also, i suggest you see some vision specialists about that sight of yours, it doesnt seem to be fully optimized

[robh539]

yes you would probably get that to ;)

And finally back to the level of chat I understand ;)

[minimorecambe]

Damn you Rob!!! :p

Play properly! :roll:

[Reeder]

Is the closest I can see to you answering what I asked, but it still doesn't give me what I desire.
It states that you will ask, but then does not say whether or not you will consume that meat even though you are unware of how it was slaughtered.

Please point my in the right direction of the post that explains this, seeing as my vision is so terribly impaired.

[robh539]

one thought that one would have gathered the definitive answer from the tone of a my posts through out the discussion upon the subject, but to satisfy your hunger for said knowledge the conclusion is yes and i already do

[Reeder]

So you will not eat meat if someone says to you that they do not know how it has been slaughtered?

[Wideboy]

Your question is irrelevant as you are writing it in the future tense when my previous answer already anwers you current question

[Reeder]

If I meet you I shall make sure that you ask before you eat every piece of meat, and if you cannot be supplied with an answer, that you do not eat it. Obviously I will do this in order to help protect your ethics.

[Reeder]

Also, before anyone points out that I made a big deal of this... yes you are right.
I did it because I could and I wanted to.

[Wideboy]

Be my guest but im affraid you wont get a chance as i never forget it

[TheOnlyNemesis]

yay, mce replied to my complaint should get here 2moz

You dont seem to be taking my believes seriously, infact you seem to be mocking them

[Reeder]

I would never dream of mocking you.
I respect you as a person way too much, and if I'm honest I'm actually quite threatened by you.
You're a popular person on this forum so it seems and I wouldn't dare think of getting on the wrong side of you. I dread to think what the implications may be to such a newbie like me.

[Bibio]

are the lovers having a tiff again?

[Bibio]

good news TON.. but dont get your hopes up. it'll read something like. dear servant, we are standing by out original decision and there is nowt you can do.

[minimorecambe]

I darent comment Bib :-?

[Wideboy]

Im having my believes mocked and i not happy about it, if my believes were religious you would be racist!

[Bibio]

hahahaaaa, you have much to learn about the megathread my dear.

[Bibio]

do what i do and dont have any... simples. i live how i want to live and decide what i like and religion can go screw it's self.

[Bibio]

i sorta agree with wideass for a change. we are being forced to eat halal meat weather we like it or not. but same could be said for other things like chlorine in the water.

[minimorecambe]

To go to the gym or not................

[Bibio]

not. just have a nice brisk walk instead. gyms are for posers.

[minimorecambe]

Lol I am far from a poser at the gym!
I am a very much "please dont look at my wobbly bits" type. :p

[robh539]

There is a point that you have all missed, WB has said about choice. The choice shouldn't be to buy them or not. But to have halal meat and a un-halal meat choice. Untill Sharia law coms to the uk anyway ;)

just my 2ps worth on the matter.

now im going this high brow chats to much for my little brain :)

[Bibio]

what gym do you go to so i can come down and perv some time. i like watching wobbly bits.

[minimorecambe]

You will have to put a wig on because I only use the ladies only part.
I very rarely venture into the big gym :)

[Bibio]

hold on... i'll sort it.

[Bibio]

<--- is that better?
