I believe the story goes something like unions wanted more time off for their members and Jews were upset that they couldn't get their sabbath off but the Christian sabbath was a day off. So a compromise was reached to allow the Jewish and Christian Sabbaths off. Unions were happy because they doubled the time off for their members and Jews were happy because they got to keep their sabbath.

Tell Wikipedia then.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekend

quote:
The early industrial period in Europe saw a six-day work week with only Sunday off, but some workers had no days off at all. Only the labour and workers rights movements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century saw a five day work week introduced as Saturday became a day of rest and relaxation. This movement began in England. In several languages, the word for weeked is an adaptation of weekend or the term "English week" is used for the five-days work week.

I say in order to be more respectful of Muslims in America we add Thursday and Friday to our weekend. Its the only reasonable thing to do.

I said no such thing. I figured they had copied the U.S.'s standard simply because the U.S. is the Western country most closely involved with them recently.

Thanks for the explanation, Oerdin. But I thought strict Muslims couldn't drink fermented grain or grape products; why do they need weekends? Do they drink vodka now?

'most closely involved' is that a nice way of saying 'bombed the f#$k out of them and stole their oil'?

Apparantly, Saturday was picked as a holiday as to minimize the interruption of international finance (insert conspiracy about the Rothschilds ). Since on Saturday and Sunday banks in most of the world are closed, less **** would get done in a week if capital can move around only for three days.

Anyways, Sadrists are stupid, throw rocks at 'em.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with this:

-*******s who see anything connected with jews get to work their asses off for 52 days per year more than they would have, and would subsequently be paid less per hour. So jews can gloat over this and be happy

-*******s think they somehow won by working more, and continue living in their fantasy world.

-World community benefits from additional work done by *******s.



See? EVERYBODY wins!

As was clearly foretold and laid out in the ZOG manifesto, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I must therefore alert all my Islamicist zealot comrades to the pernicious nature of the Rosenfeld-Rothschild oppressive financial-cultural nexus forcing good Muslims to work more and neglect their children thus increasing the number of disaffected Muslim youth falling prey to the snares of Jewish funded culture such as 'Hello' and 'Playboy' and Pokemon.

Our old pal Muqty is being marginalized, so he grabs at nasty and silly things like this, in an attempt to reach out to the Sunni fundies of the AMS.
