    You get them for posting messages, answering questions, writing articles, helping others to write articles etc. Just about anything that contributes to the community will earn you points. If you collect a certain number in a year then you get a nice certificate signed by Chris, and a special icon by your name. Unfortunately you cannot trade them for <insert your favourite food and drink here>. :)

      You have to put up with the bacon jokes I'm afraid. But we still all respect each others' culture and beliefs.

        It depends, if you gain enough then you will be told. But don't waste time worrying about the points, they are really not that important, and you are much more likely to be judged by your general behaviour and the quality of your contributions to the site.

          I have several Muslim friends (in fact the guy next to me is/was, he drinks like a fish & has the odd pork product) I was a little confused by the chicken does that apply to all poultry or just the chicken? (I did have a look on Wikipedia about it but it was not very helpful) I just don't want to make any mistakes...

                All meat and chicken must be slaughtered to be halal the only thing that don't goes into that category is the fish and all what come from the sea. Some meat are forbidden to eat like pigs. Our usual meat are cows, sheep and camels, while chicken are the poultry you mentioned.

                        OK, I know I am being odd here but why does pork get such a bad reputation? I can think of three reasons; 1) raw pork looks like Human flesh (and experience has taught me smell the same when being burnt!) so it might have been used to trick some people into canabilism... 2) Pork when stored improperly can get toxic very quickly... 3) Pig diseases can mutate to humans easily, the flu pandemic after world war I was based on a mutant form of swine fever (though bird flu gets the headlines these days!) (least likely but hey!) Glenn [edit] I have just found this which explains it a bit better looks like your reply crossed with my edit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_restrictions_on_the_consumption_of_pork[^] [/edit]
