Is “show-off” less of a sin than alcohol?

Quoting Deli_kizin

Actually many people in Turkey told me (younger people that is). The difference between pasta and pork is that it is not forbidden by Quran.

 

And you dont need to speak so belitteling to me. I was giving a reason why some muslim Turks can justify their action of taking alcohol but not pork meat for themselves by using Christianity. I did not say it is a valid reason or that I believe all Turks feel this way.

 

you`re right they don`t eat pork because Islam bans it, not because they want to differenciate themselves from Christians.

 Pigs and boars are from the same family, and live in the same environment.

 It is just a domesticated boar

(As opposed to an undomesticated bore, which might well describe you   )

I agree with you about pork (not nice!) but bacon is wonderful - it is the hardest thing to give up when you become vegetarian.

 

 hmmmmm yes that and Haggis I still miss my bacon butties {#lang_emotions_cry}

Jules and Vincent sit at a booth.  In front of Vincent is a
        big stack of pancakes and sausages, which he eats with gusto.
        Jules, on the other hand, just has a cup of coffee and a
        muffin.  He seems far away in thought.  The Waitress pours a
        refill for both men,

                                  VINCENT
                       Thanks a bunch.
                            (to Jules, who´s
                              nursing his coffee)
                       Want a sausage?

                                  JULES
                       Naw, I don´t eat pork.

                                  VINCENT
                       Are you Jewish?

                                  JULES
                       I ain´t Jewish man, I just don´t
                       dig on swine.

                                  VINCENT
                       Why not?

                                  JULES
                       They´re filthy animals.  I don´t
                       eat filthy animals.

                                  VINCENT
                       Sausages taste good.  Pork chops
                       taste good.

                                  JULES
                       A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
                       pie.  I´ll never know ´cause even
                       if it did, I wouldn´t eat the
                       filthy motherfucker.  Pigs sleep
                       and root in shit.  That´s a filthy
                       animal.  I don´t wanna eat nothin´
                       that ain´t got enough sense to
                       disregard its own feces.

                                  VINCENT
                       How about dogs?  Dogs eat their own
                       feces.

                                  JULES
                       I don´t eat dog either.

                                  VINCENT
                       Yes, but do you consider a dog to
                       be a filthy animal?

                                  JULES
                       I wouldn´t go so far as to call a
                       dog filthy, but they´re definitely
                       dirty.  But a dog´s got
                       personality.  And personality goes
                       a long way.

                                  VINCENT
                       So by that rationale, if a pig had
                       a better personality, he´s cease to
                       be a filthy animal?

                                  JULES
                       We´d have to be talkin´ ´bout one
                       motherfuckin´ charmin´ pig.  It´d
                       have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.

        The two men laugh.

I assume Tami considers chickens to be nice and clean enough to eat them. Well,

 

NOT REALLY

 

5. Do You Want Poop With That?
A USDA study found that more than 99 percent of broiler chicken carcasses sold in stores had detectable levels of E. coli, indicating fecal contamination. In other words, if you’re eating chicken flesh, you’re almost certainly eating poop. Consumer Reports states there are “1.1 million or more Americans sickened each year by undercooked, tainted chicken.” Chicken flesh is also loaded with dangerous levels of arsenic, which can cause cancer, dementia, neurological problems, and other ailments in humans. Men’s Health magazine recently ranked supermarket chicken number one in their list of the “10 Dirtiest Foods” because of the high rate of bacterial contamination
