As someone who grew up in Pflugerville.. go Jack! THIS is what our community is supposed to be like, not like the asshole vandals.

Some little bastards vandalized the walls of the neighborhood in front of Pflugerville MS. This shithole vandalism needs to stop.

The muslim man looks like when two kids sit on top of each other to pass as an adult. Long jacket, the posture and even the beard looks fake

Nice, but the best lesson to learn is to give something for free and not expect anything in return.........

Sometimes I skim read so I thought the kid's first name was Austin and that his last name was hyphenated...

I feel like he deserves it! He seems like a well rounded kid who's heart is in the right place and will appreciate it more than other kids.

I bet his parents are pretty good parents considering he was saving up for an Ipad rather than being spoiled and having one handed to him.

This amount of sympathy for Muslims while murderous jihadists keep coming out of Muslim communities is the point. Not that hard to spot.

it's not like muslim communities like this one in texas are spewing out terrorists. They are getting conflated with the bad guys.
WhimsicalCalamari
i just realized the irony of the kid donating to a mosque with money from the back of a pig
EdgySarcaticUndertones
Plot twist...ipad reward for gettin rid of the piggy
KunFayyaKun
As a Muslim, the whole pig thing is overblown. We just think the flesh of pigs can't be consumed...it's still God's creation...
RIPSlurmsMckenzie
A delicious creation.
Virtuoso
It's good health advice from a time when food preparation was less thorough. A lot of the rules about food prevented sickness.
DoctorWatchamacallit
if i understand it right, it's like how most white people think of dogs. A nice animal, but you don't want to eat it despite the fact 1)
Ramobba
It's just not allowed because it not considered "clean", and there's always "it's allowed if you have no other choice". Islam is flexible.
DoctorWatchamacallit
2) that some cultures in fact, DO eat dogs.
MobinAmanzai
Uhhh, I don't think it's like that.
WhimsicalCalamari
I didn't realize that misconception existed. I was just going for a reference to the dietary restriction by comparing the money to bacon.
KunFayyaKun
Well, it is a response to the people who think that throwing salami and pig parts at mosques is like garlic to vampires
TheWorldArriving
Yeah, I mean. I've dissected a piglet before, just washed my hands after taking off the gloves and took a shower after.Turkey bacon is yum

you have a stronger stomach than i. because of the dissection not the turkey bacon

"Sugar Land"... Are there bigoted unicorns there as well?

Yep, that's the thing outsiders don't realize. Texas is multiple states with one flag. It's not just "big."

Unfortunately, the intolerant I find here is from native and transplant. It's people from all over not just Texas.

Well, the default state for humans is 'intolerant asshole.' You have to wait until, like, level 25 just to get the 'patience' trait.

How is there a place called Sugar Land in Texas that is a town and not a strip club?

I work in one of the libraries in sugar land. Did a crochet program tonight. The different people who came, all just helping each other 1/

Which Sugar Land library? I've been looking for a local crochet class. Do you do it often?

I'm trying to get it to be a monthly thing, but the next one is in February. University Branch. I'd love to have more people!

O how cool I'd love to check it out! :D I knit but can't crochet. Do you have other beginners?

Yes! Lots of ppl had only just picked up a hook. Pm me your email and I can send you the presentation. You can see where we started.

DoctorWatchamacallit
yeah. As a guy from New Jersey, I feel the pain of stereotypes on the whole state that only apply to certain areas. comparing Austin to 1)
DoctorWatchamacallit
2) say...Lubbock, is like comparing Princeton to Camden
WisdomThumbs
Nah, man. If any city is the Camden of Texas, it's Odessa. Even the sand dunes are mean as shit. But if you're white, the people are nice.

fair point, but i was more trying to illustrate how varied the state is culturally

It's called Texarkana. But like everywhere, there are good and bad.

there is a part of texas called "Sugar Land"? really? man that´s awesome.

I grew up in Sugar Land. It was founded as a sugar plantation and was home to the Imperial Sugar refinery.

Ah, i See! Makes sense then, to call it that.

Theres tons of interesting names in Texas! We got Dublin, Italy, basically anything you can think of, it's a town in Texas.
limonchiki
I just looked on Googlemaps, it was so cool to see all the names. In austria, most names are boring. Like, nether austria. Or "wooquarter".
almostsomething182
I mean, we do have some boring ones. West, for example. Yep, named after a direction.

We even have Iraan, Texas. Just sayin'.
