To be fair, determining that is exactly his fucking job right? If not him, who?

What’s kinda crazy to me is that if we rounded the whole group up, we’d probably get a few cops and military personnel working with them.

“Some of those that work forces…”

It could go down though. The decision to move products away from that plant can be made and diminish the bartering power of everyone there in favor of more friendly negotiations at another facility.

There is a breaking point. It’s just intentionally hard to know exactly where it is.

True… game recognize game?

No… I get annoyed when people put me in position where I have no reason to expect them to start praying, and the only method of distancing myself from that act would be extraordinary inconvenient for me.

Pray 20 hours a day for all I care, to whatever God you want. Leave me out of it.

I didn’t say it was kind. I said it was engaging. But calling someone a disappointment is alot kinder than implying they’re a racist who might assault someone, but I’m living in reality and not just the Lemmy dreamsphere.

What did I say? I mean I’ve been having lots of engagement with people today. Mostly people pretending I have something against Muslims and then telling me what else I must think based on their imaginary impression of me.

Because i don’t have a problem with Muslims?

Some of us actually engage with each other rather frequently because of how small the active user base really is.

Hey squid, I know you can read. What the fuck is your problem? You get off on making shit up like the rest of these bums now too? I’ve already said there’s no excuse for pepper spray of violence MANY times in this thread. People just keep trying to imply there’s some bullshit xenophobic message behind me expressing I don’t want people praying around me.

Fuck, you’re such a disappointment. I thought you were better than that.

Nope didn’t argue either of those things. You’ve just made that up.

Didn’t express a muslim prayer in my response. Actually referenced common Christian phrases. The xenophobia is all in your mind.

Ain’t got a problem with Muslims. Got a problem with audibly praying while you’re driving me. Just like I’d have a problem with you having an intimate personal phone call with me in the car.

I just think it’s a dick move, and as already stated explicitly by me, they should not be pepper sprayed or attacked in any way. This is a “playing music out loud on a bus” level of annoyance.

I don’t have to decide what is normal. I can experience what is normal. I don’t get mad when people pray, I just don’t like it done in front of me while I am trapped in a small space with them.

Explain. There is no xenophobia in my comment. Which “other” am I referring to? Lemmy trolls pearl clutching again. Get real.

Read my responses for the answer, pedant.

There is something abnormal about praying in a workplace. They shouldn’t be attacked, but it’s also not normal. I don’t care what religion they’re a part of, it would be strange regardless.

If that’s their compulsion they can do it while not actively working. In between pickups etc. I personally find it obnoxiously pious to make others unwilling participants in your praying. A person’s driver is in too intimate a setting to be doing stuff like that.

I wouldn’t give a shit if they were a bus driver though because that’s already a more public environment where I’m not expecting the driver to be talking to me if they are talking. (I also find it annoying when the driver is on the phone in an Uber for similar reasons). If they were being annoying I have the ability to move myself a little further out of earshot. In a private car, the only way to avoid it is to end the ride and find a new one, which would be incredibly inconvenient.

Making shit up online is fun. Strawman arguments don’t convince anyone of anything though just makes you look like a tool.

Islam is the 2nd largest religion on Earth. It’s not some piddly minority. When people are being weird Muslims it’s okay to call them out the same way there are hella weird Christians and Jews. I would say NOT doing so and handling a particular groups weirdos with kids gloves is just as xenophobic (but obviously not as harmful) as attacking someone for being different.

You’re basically saying they are less human than you and therefor should be excused from behaving normally in the society they are a part of, like they were a small child.

Guess you’re a bigot then. Both religious prayers i referenced were Christian. I was raised Christian. But you’re too ignorant of other cultures to really be calling others out on xenophobia. Check yourself loser.
