as you are so obviously pro halal then you would not agree with the entire thread and perhaps stay away from it as it is an anti halal thread

and for whatever reasons you are so pro halal so be it

but to come on to a thread that is anti halal and try and turn the concensus against the OP and every one who is in their favour

is  a little bit counter productive  don't you agree

It's no wonder you forget what the original topic is about you try so hard to throw every one off the track

I have not come on these boards to argue with the likes of you so don't bother to adress me every time you disagree with me

as clearly it is on every issue and this also is counter productive don't you think

Unfortunately for some people, no one gets to decide who posts what where.

This is a discussion board, all threads are open for discussion to all members of ebay.

The thread title is So......

It is not a Anti Halal thread only open for those who are anti Halal......... I might be wrong but I don't recall the OP being anti Halal............ (I think she has popcorn)

What sort of discussion would it be?I agree

I agree

me too.................

I am not pro halal certification.................I am pro the choice of companies to choose their own marketing techniques and I am pro employment in Australia. I am also pro the choices of the individual to buy whatever they choose.

is that so hard to grasp

 I know many ethnic people who have been in Australia for generations and they still cook and eat their traditional foods

and don't tell me that Muslim  people would be any different why would they ?

I'm sure that most Muslim children by the age of 5 would have a general knowledge of what they can and can't eat

especially in this society where they may be  exposed to other cultures and beliefs.

do you realize that with your imput and your band of merry men that you unwittingly perpetuate these anti halal threads

I expect without the who ha from the pro halal team they would fizz;le out very quickly and float off down the line  like so many other threads do

So................... you are saying those with an opposing opinion should not put forth their opinions?

I don't belong to any band of merry men, not my responsibility if I share the same or similar opinion to other members, doesn't make us a band.... or a group... or mates... or a team.

Are anti halal brigade a team? mates? a band? etc.

Once again, the companies that are halal certifying are doing so for the EXPORT Market. The local market has the advantage of using that, if they so choose.

Why is that so hard to understand? their exports are probably bring more income than the local one.

I am interested in what would occur if Cadbury didn't brand the local items with the certification and reduced the price by the margin that it costs for the export ones?..............would those who are against the certification change their minds?

Thread are for discussing amongst posters. No one is ever going to post a thread and get 100% positive comments on the thread topic.

As you aren't the opening poster of this thread, I don't see why you are trying to direct proceedings in it.

I decide what thread is for me or not. There are plenty of thread here I don't read, or read and don't post on.

I will address the content of posts I have a different view to ( called discussing/debating) or if they contain inaccurate material.. it matters not to me who wrote the post, it is the content in it I reply to.

No, it is not counter productive to state that the anti-halal objectors are a minority and the the majority of Australians do not mind/care about buying products with halal certification symbols on the labels.

It is counter-productive to make threads telling others not to buy Vegemite, Cadbury choc etc, when all the posters here are adults and make their own (informed) decisions about which products they buy or not.

Cadbury's is on special at the moment...........

Haigh's is my favourite (for birthday/Christmas treat)  but at $10 for a small block, not in everyone's budget compared to 1/2 price Cadbury block specials (or any other supermarket brand on special).

are you ever going to change your mind - wish you that we were that fickle that the cost of an item would change our values

there are other values to some people that are more important than religion

Um...... many of the posters here who are against halal certification have stated the cost of certification added to the product price, is what they object to.

*How many have you read? Didn't you tell me recently you were new to CS and hadn't read any halal certification threads in the past?

What is wrong with robust discussion - pros and cons? Especially on controversial topics, e.g. fluoride, good - yes or no?

As I mentioned before no one objects to people not buying food with halal certification, it is only when they try and spread the myths abouth halal certification and start threads stating don't buy this product or that because of hc, that makes people want to respond.

There is oodles of anti-halal sites on the internet, websites, social media if anyone wants to check them out.

if they are on an anti halal thread and are looking for information why not enlighten them

perhaps many people are ignorant of the extent of halal certification and they might learn something about it here

and may also figure out just why there are so many of you trying to dispel the facts
