Why should we care that it's Ramadan?

I don't get why we (society/mainstream media) care so much about a holy month?

No-one is forcing you to care.

Why does society care so much about anything?

Perhaps to distract us from the inconsequential brevity of our existences.

I don't care about Lent.

I only care about the commercialized aspect of Christmas and Easter.

I'm not religious at all.

Also, why does making a thread mean I care?

What did you want us to say? Well done on learning to type? Thanks you for bringing insight into our tiny little lives? Here's a nice recipe for vanilla cheesecake?

You keep bringing us inane threads and we'll keep supplying the inane replies :wink:

I'm sure all your threads are gold.
But if we aren't made aware that Ramadan is happening, how will we know when to troll the Muslim neighbours with food smells?

I've taken to baking bread every afternoon.

Because a large percent of the population are starving and dehyrdating themselves during the day time. Its bad for production, bad for business, bad for practicing education and in some instances bad for the NHS because Muslims who refuse to take medication such as tablets because they cant drink water. (Before you say the old, sick are exempt... these are anecdotes i have heard from GP's)

I imagine soon we will have to make accommodations to negate some of these effects likely to the detriment and inconvenience of the wider population (I think exams were touted as being moved etc)
