It's drawn when the fact that the majority don't have a problem with what's being done. In this is case a small group of people have a problem for something the majority did. So the majority should have to change? I mean at that point they might as well tell people in that area who have a dog to get ready of it.

But that's hyperbole. The police said that they shouldn't have sent the postcards into that community. That's it. They aren't making a national stink about it, nor are they asking for any national change. We have Jewish neighborhoods here in Pittsburgh, and if I were sending out a mass mailing or distributing something for the community, and I had a local rep on my advisory board, I think it's common sense to ask him/her if the community would want to receive something either containing pork or picturing something non-kosher. If they don't think it would be a good idea, I'd either not send them that particular item, or I would find some other way to market it to that community. It's not that difficult.

But what if the dog was photographed attacking the man who drew the Mohammed cartoon while it was eating a ham sandwich?

Photoshop job.
Dogs which attack Mohammed cartoonists don't eat ham.

Did you even read the actual news article? Nothing remotely similar to what you are saying actually took place.

That's a stereotype. You must open your mind to the possibility that dogs have a different culture than our own and you must learn to accept that some dogs will eat ham while attacking a Mohammed cartoonist. Anyone who can't think that way is a bigot.

Exactly. JC logic is extremely ham-eating-dogphobic, but with some time and effort, you too can learn to accept and value ham eating dogs as contributing members of society as you look beyond your differences.

Yes, but where do you draw the line??
How long can we let non-ham-eating dogs affect what ham-eating dogs do and bark?
You have to understand: chasing Mohammed cartoonists is extremely serious in the non-ham-eating dog community and we have to cater to them.
Edit: It's not that difficult to do.

I'd like to see what your definition of "culturally-integrated Brit" is, considering Brits themselves have about a million different answers.
