Ramadan Day 1
Erik comes in saying that 'in the spirit of Ramadan', he is opting to give up coffee.
Good for him.
A little while later, he remembers that he has decaf and wonders if this constitutes as a non-coffee product.
My arguement is "no, it IS a coffee product. Are you trying to give up caffeine?"
Erik: "Err.. yes. I am giving up the addictive qualities, but not necessarily the enjoyment"
I think he's just created a loophole for himself so he can drink it.
In my opinion, this is both soft AND half-arsed. Muslims give up ALL food AND drink. Even if it is for daylight hours, but thats pretty long here especially as its summer.
