He's amazing. <BR/><BR/>GUESS WHO: I'm sure they have, but I was commenting on the article which only mentioned the recent lawsuit by the Muslims, and I think I am clear that I don't think anyone should be catered to.. not even the veggies.<BR/><BR/>FRASY: Yes, I think so... funny you should notice. Has been a while, but had noticed some lurking. :-) about your last comment too.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-85933742135737410882007-08-28T09:24:00.000-04:002007-08-28T09:24:00.000-04:00So Incog,is Troika/Richard back?I was not quite su...So Incog,is Troika/Richard back?I was not quite sure<BR/>But I am with Karen...dont commit the crime !Maybe the food will be an incentive to stop Jewish.Muslim crime...I can hope cant I!<BR/>Incidentally i always wondered how many Indians commit crimes and when I went on the prison system it showed quite a lot of Indians who were named Jose,Pedro etc !Frasierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11855104479614125294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-33597026329998873172007-08-28T03:35:00.000-04:002007-08-28T03:35:00.000-04:00Jews have sued, successfully, in various states to...Jews have sued, successfully, in various states to have their kosher food given to them in prison.<BR/><BR/>Why do you only mention the Muslims sueing? Dig a bit deeper with your research, you'll find some colourful stories on Jews sueing for Kosher meals. Especially the guy who was caught eating non-Kosher food on a daily basis... quite amusing.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think anyone who is stupid enough to believe that there food needs to be prepared in a certain way, should be eaten themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-13960317833279965392007-08-27T22:01:00.000-04:002007-08-27T22:01:00.000-04:00Alright!

These people are lucky to get 2 or 3 meals a day on the American's dime. They are being PUNISHED after all.<BR/><BR/>Good catch.<BR/><BR/>I'm of the opinion that prisons should be places where NO special privileges are given. The inmates should either be kept confined in their cells with no computers, no special treatment, nothing. OR, they should be put to work, growing their own food, making their own clothes, preparing their own means, everything. Imagine how much money could be saved.<BR/><BR/>Or do like one sheriff does, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or balogna sandwiches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-1857156863972451822007-08-27T19:42:00.000-04:002007-08-27T19:42:00.000-04:00ANGEL: In my mind criminals are criminals regardl...ANGEL: In my mind criminals are criminals regardless of their religious affiliation.

And I agree.. had they been that spiritually aware they wouldn't have gotten into trouble to begin with.<BR/><BR/>PAT: And no, to your first question. Prison is not some luxury camp, where you should be catered to. You are there because you committed some kind of crime. If it were less cushy, perhaps people would be less inclined to commit crimes. Man hard core career felons actually re-commit crimes because they have better lives in jail. As for whether they should be allowed to vote? Hmmm... that's an interesting question. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think certain people can change and they deserve the chance to lead productive lives. perhaps it depends on the crime. I'm not sure about this one, Pat. Sorry. <BR/><BR/>JON: exactly! Our taxes are paying for that and so many people can't even afford it themselves.

For once. They'll get their nutrition needs met with the vegetarian meals.
