Even though you've gotten pretty emotional quite a few times yourself.

I mean the solution is deceptively simple: Ignore user, or turn off computer and do something productive.

This is coming from the person, you, who is not only right now going to great lengths to post about me, but has done so countless times. You've been one of the people I've argued the most, and it takes two to tango. We've had weeks-long, protracted arguments, in which the majority of your posts were either to me or about me. You went as far as to carry over arguments into several other threads that were unrelated, and to manage to abstain from making a single relevant post about the topic. You just went from thread to thread talking trash.

You're contradicting yourself quite a bit, and being quite arrogant in thinking that you of all people are in any position to point the finger at someone else.

But I mean Jesus, Cell, you make the mistake in assuming anyone but confused socially awkward teenagers

I'll interrupt you right there. What about you? What about the confused, ignorant, socially awkward college students like you who are either my age or older?

Think about it this way: Without you all the fucktards starting Country-v-Country topics to spite you have no target. The forum will quieter and god hoping, becomemore intelligent because now we won't have all the incessant pissing matches.

And people like you will no longer have a person to stalk from thread to thread. So I guess the BBS will benefit from a lack of instances where you fiendishly devote numerous, elaborate posts to the particulars of another person's internet persona.

I don't actually buy the whole "I hated doing it" thing. No one does anything repeatedly they don't really enjoy, not voluntarily anyways. I've been here long enough to know how you do things. You enjoy being the Go-to-guy for the defense of the USA. You absolutely enjoy kicking the snot out of kids who can't tell their dicks from their noses and thing WWII was won with sheer [insert random country here] bravado.

What I find funny is that you are no where near a model poster. You have gotten into several heated, ridiculously immature arguments about all sorts of topics, and not just against me. It's also amazing is that you keep trying to pretend that it's just kids who I argue when YOU have been one of the people who has been so thoroughly disproved so often by myself in arguments.

The people I'm apologizing to are people who probably didn't deserve to be attacked the way I attacked them. This list of people who deserve an apology do not include either you or fli.

You always seemed to be the one flamebaiting for arguments. A bit of a masochist in you?

Owie.

This is a pretty intense rant. Please listen to me (and Mods, please give me a break) :

This isn't going to be very eloquent, but I'll try anyway.

I'm really sick of the arguments, to tell you the truth. You may think that I am a troll and that I actually enjoyed all the fierce arguments about the whole US vs. UK, US vs. Canada, US vs. Europe, US vs. the world arguments, but I really never did. In fact it was, and always has been an excruciating experience to me because in my mind I ALWAYS understood both sides of the argument. But of course, I defended my country, because I did, still, and always will believe in my country. I'm not disavowing my arguments at all, but I want you to understand that the reason I'm so patriotic is because of my family and my personal experiences. I am an Arab-American, my family came here from Lebanon seeking a better life and they found it. My family came from a country where they were hunted down and murdered for being Christians just a few decades ago, and they moved to the US, a country that accepted them, allowed them to practice religion as they pleased, and gave them an opportunity to succeed. My family has done so well in the US that it's literally considered to be a miracle by my family, an actual divine intervention by God that they got US Visas and came here. I actually believe this now as well. I believe that my family came here because God ordained it to be so. Call my crazy, call me a zealot, but it's what I believe now... after not believing it for years. If my family didn't come here, I'd either be dead or would have never been born.

Also... I've had a bit of a political epiphany. I hope I'm not leaving anyone out, but recently I had a very in-depth conversation with both a Canadian and a British expatriate. We actually ended up hugging and CRYING at the end of our intense argument, believe it or not. We reached common ground and I've come out of the experience no longer wanting any animosity whatsoever between our countries. You may consider the verbal squabbles I've engaged in to be only internet chatter, but I've personally seen the same kind of views carry over into physical fights with lingering hatred, that I've actually been involved in. Frankly, I'm a bit sick of participating in such arguments about our countries because all it does is create bad blood between us. No matter who was right or wrong, we ended up only hurting each other, intentionally or unintentionally. When really, we are the very last countries that should be fighting between ourselves. We believe in democracy, human rights, we believe in freedom... as cliche as it sounds. We are the SAME. We are identical in all but a few minute details.

Listen Britons, Australians, Canadians... (sorry other people) we are so similar, so bound together by common values that it is FREAKING PREPOSTEROUS that we keep fighting against each other all the time. Our feuds are so utterly artificial and superfluous, that we are forced to create nonexistent differences between us for nationalist reasons that subvert our common goals, just as a source of argument. It's pathetic, and I admit personally that I'm pathetic that I've allowed myself to get so angry all the time and have allowed myself to so maliciously attack Brits, Canadians, and Australians with my arguments. I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings, I really do. If you are British, Australian or Canadian, please understand that even though I've told you straight out that you have no reason to be proud, you really do have reasons to be proud. I actually love you (lol). I lived in the UK for a while, I visited Australia, and I go to Canada regularly and I've had overwhelmingly positive experiences with my hosts... like they were my fucking family. Listen, Americans as a whole actually love you, but sometimes when you say certain things, we feel so betrayed that we lash out and say a few ignorant things as a response that we don't really mean... I've been guilty of this many times. When I have reacted the way I have, I've tended to do so from a position of someone who felt they have been stabbed in the back and betrayed by their best friend. I've completely overreacted and have said things that now I regret.

Anyway, I enlisted in the US Marine Corps a few months ago. Due to my gratitude to my country, and my belief that I have something special to contribute to it, I quit my lucrative job and I'm going to lay my life on the line for what I believe in. I understand that some people may think that I'm going to throw my life away or that I'm trying to act like some self-righteous Martyr, but I believe in this so strongly.... even notwithstanding any nationalist or religious beliefs, I feel SO STRONGLY in the pit of my soul that this is what I'm supposed do to that I can't even attempt to do anything different. I've been praying so much lately, and every time I've done so I've FELT that the answer is that I'm supposed to do this... This is such an abstract subject to talk about on a flash website, but it's true. For the last year or so I've felt incredibly empty, so I've prayed my heart out trying to understand what I am supposed to do and every single time I pray I get such an OBVIOUS answer that I'm supposed to join the military... it's undeniable now. Laugh it up if you will but that's the truth.

Anyways, I understand a lot of people will write this off for whatever reason, but this is unadulterated me... this is all I can say and I may be a bit presumptuous in thinking this has any relevance in these forums, but this is my final message basically. I might continue posting on NG for a while (few months until boot camp), but this is basically the beginning of the end. This is my attempt at reconciliation with all the people I've pissed off.

And that's basically it.

Well, that's the thing. The political labels like "liberal, conservative, progressive" etc.. tend to take on their own independent nuances as time goes along. It's not just black and white. You can't quite pin down what is or is not liberal, conservative, progressive etc.

See, what's funny is that most of the stances of Republicans/Conservatives are classically liberal in actuality. By today's standards I would be "conservative" because I believe in free markets, low taxes, gun rights etc... however these positions are actually literally liberal, because they embody a lack of government intervention in people's lives. They are more open, more free, thus more liberal. But... at the same time I support looser drug laws as well, which kind of puts me with some Liberal Democrats, but more in the same boat of Libertarians who are essentially ultra-liberal classically, but who are entirely dissimilar from Democrats in almost every other regard.

In my opinion, the way we now use the term "progressive" is just absurd. People like to claim a monopoly on the term, when I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I don't consider their policies to quite fit the bill. Higher taxes, tighter gun control, government-controlled healthcare, and things of that nature don't constitute progress the way I see it. To me those things would represent a step backward; they would be regressive.

Frankly, it makes me want to vomit when I have to refer to some self-proclaimed socialist, big-government supporting, Che Guevara-loving, abortion-supporting ghoul as a "progressive". As if their goals are automatically, unquestionably something we need to 'progress' to.

With that said, I agree with you. My opinion is that pro-life stances would be progressive. Making it so that abortions are as rare as possible is something we should aspire to achieve... and I don't think pro-choice policies encourage or facilitate that at all. It's come to the point that abortion is predominately a way for women to ditch out on their responsibilities, by assassinating their 'little problem'. That's what pro-choice people are really about. They say it's about choice, but the choice is to kill a child because its continued existence would be an inconvenience, it's fucking disgusting.

Anyway, yeah, abortion is rarely, rarely medically necessary and rarely justifiable. Doing away with all the unnecessary/unjustified abortions should be the goal of a "progressive".

Wrong, Canadians pay for their national healthcare via taxes. You just say it's "free" as a way of ignoring the fact that your government controls it. You want to believe it's some gift rather than what it actually is - the extension of your government's authority over your life.

Seriously, if you give someone money and they decide how to spend it for you, that's not free. That's the exact opposite of free. Quit lying to yourselves Canadians.

Maybe it's psychological. Or maybe you're just really fixated on the way a professional bartender pours a Guinness. It's exactly the same beer. If it's poured correctly from a can, I can't find that much of a difference in taste. It's a bit less fizzy and the mouthfeel is different, but it's pretty negligible.

The same thing happens with other beers. They're always better out of the keg. I go to a brewery all the time and they have incredibly good ale on tap, specifically their Industrial IPA that I'm obsessed with. But after I bought two growlers of it to take home and let them sit in my fridge for a week, it wasn't as good.

They had this thing (I say thing because the name escapes me) that they sell at around St Paddy's day. You have to buy special tins of Guinness and you put them in a glass and then atop this gadget which is just a wee platform. You turn it on and hey presto, your Guinness is supposedly better.

Ah, you're referring to the "surger".

You can get the special cans and the device in the US too. I've heard about it and I've seen the cans in the store but I've never seen it done. It might be a gimmick, I don't know.

How readily available is Guinness in the USA?

Totally available. If a bar doesn't completely suck and it's not just a small brew-pub, it will have Guinness on tap. On very rare occasions they'll only have cans. Guinness is one of the most popular beers in the US.

At 11/20/08 05:48 PM, DingoTheDog wrote: The biggest beer related disappointment in my life is the general shite quality of beer from a Tin. Bottled beer is better but still not as good as beer fae the tap.

The best example is the tins of Guinness, its just shite.

If you actually drink it straight from the can, yeah. It's just like how you're not supposed to drink wine from the bottle. I don't understand the science behind it really, but when wine or beer is exposed to air for a while and you have your nose right there in the glass, you're getting more of the smell and flavor and such.

The quality of tinned black gold never lives up to the godly bev you get in pintage form.

Guinness from the tap is always going to be better because of the perfect nitrogen and CO2 levels and everything, but the cans manage to get pretty damn close. Don't you get the ones with the widget inside? They put nitrogen in the ball when they do the canning. So when you open it, the pressure inside of the can goes down so the nitrogen comes out and gives the Guinness the bubbles and head, coming close to replicating Guinness on tap.

I drink Guinness cans all the time, just not straight from the can. Pour it in a glass and I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference.

Dim photo. You can't really see the down-trickling bubbles, but they're there I assure you.

You're going through too many mediums. When you go from card -> adapter-> reader -> computer, it doesn't work. The problem is going from the adapter to the reader, the reader is meant to get the actual card, not an adapter. The adapter can't transfer the information the exact same way.

Anyway.
If you don't have a card reader built into your computer, you're going to have to find a mini SD USB reader, so that you go card -> reader -> computer. Otherwise you're screwed.

I ordered like 3 different adapters and readers before I figured that out. But now I have a computer with a 5 in 1 reader, which makes things a whole lot simpler.

Rolling R's are actually pretty rare in German now. And oddly enough, when Americans (or for this matter probably Canadians too) learn to speak German they use it because it's easier than the dull R-sound that most Germans use that kind of sounds like an L-sound. So it's a sign of people who can't quite master High German pronunciation, or someone who is trying to emulate Hitler or Till Lindemann... which Germans don't appreciate.

Before Obama has even stepped into office, we can already tell that his campaign was 100%, grade-A bullshit. Sure, he's going to appoint 1 or 2 Republicans as a token gesture, but that will just be another act to keep up appearances for the gullible, mental midget Obama voters who aren't intelligent enough to figure out they've been duped.

I just went through the official list of George W. Bush's Cabinet members, and they are all Republicans.

Bush had no where near the same kind of rhetoric as Obama has used. Yeah, he said he would be a uniter instead of a divider, but he did not even come close to using the same kind of bullshit rhetoric Obama used as the staple of his campaign.

I never expected George Bush to appoint Democrat or have a non-partisan/bipartisan cabinet. I don't think anyone did.

And I can't agree with your last paragraph simply because I would not mind if Obama picks all Democrats.

Of course you wouldn't.

Bullshit campaign? It's been considered as one of the best in history already.

Because it was good at corralling gullible people with vivid imaginations, like you.

Oh, and having the media on his side helped achieve this, I'm sure. Where his campaign failed, the media picked up the slack by filling ours eyes and ears with constant positives of Obama-Biden and constant negatives of McCain-Palin.

You can speculate, but it's not crap unless he fucks up in office.

Which he will.

From the looks of it, if he runs the country like he ran his campaign, we're in for a great four years.

He ran a CAMPAIGN well? Good god man! He must be some kind of fucking sorcerer !That must mean he is automatically 100% proven in all areas and he can obviously take the reigns of the world's Hyperpower and the world's most powerful military and perform flawlessly!

TOTALLY!

How's this for BS promises, eh?

Opinionated nonsense that can quite easily be argued against in several areas.

Let's think about this though.

Rahm Emanuel was Obama's first appointee, his Chief of Staff no less. This is the same guy that said Republicans can go fuck themselves when Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. Kind of an odd person to appoint immediately after a campaign where Barack Obama pretended he was reaching out to Republican voters. Don't you think?

I said the act of placing a 'U' after every vowel was a common way for Americans to mock English people's spelling

I've never seen an American do that, ever. As the other person stated.

And a lot of Americans claim to speak American as opposed to English.

No they don't.

If a tard like you starts ripping on the way they speak, it will be YOU who says "lolz he's speaking American". Or maybe you were just confused because they called it American English.

Funny though, when Australians say they speak "Aussie" or "Australian" because of their slang, people like you would probably find it charming and endearing.

I assume these are the same people who eat Freedom Fries and not French Fries.

You are beyond brainwashed.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

No.

Sure, other countries have famous beers as well, but when you ask someone who's really into special beers (i.e. an expert) he'll undoubtedly start talking about Belgium.

Or so Belgians say.

An "expert" would start talking about Germany before Belgium. And they'll probably go into the particulars of the craft brew movement in the US as well. Take a look at the results for the 2006 World Beer Cup or the Beer Advocate Top Beer In the World List.

There's more in Belgium than Westvleteren if you like that, also.

I know, but several other countries also have all kinds of good beer. Belgium isn't the only one.

Moreover you can't pretend you don't like Duvel.

Lol wtf. I ranked it as my #2 favorite beer.

No one can.

I know plenty of people that don't like it.

I don't like Stella, it's definitely overrated. It's just a light lager so it tastes like Budweiser to me, just with a bit more hops and a bit more carbonation.

And you probably liked it, too. It's a Belgian beer.

Ooooh. Someone's confidant.

Now, let me tell you, the Stella we export is, tbh, not really that good. It's not bad, of course, but if you like Stella I urge you to try other Belgian beers as well.

I mentioned Duvel.

They are even better IMO, and there's such a wide range you'll NEVER get tired of it.

That's true for basically any country's beer.

SO DO THAT NOW.

I hope Obama ends up ordering the missile strike into Pakistani territory that kills Zawahiri, like the day he comes into office. That would be great. I doubt Obama will have the moxie to do it even if we had the chance, but it would be awesome karma.

With that said, it's true that Obama, after casting himself as the über-revolutionary, non-partisan outsider, has already failed to live up to his promises by appointing some of the most powerfully partisan Washington insiders there is to make up his cabinet. Rahm Emanuel is the most ferociously partisan dickhead ever... and he was Obama's very first pick! Chief of Staff!

Before Obama has even stepped into office, we can already tell that his campaign was 100%, grade-A bullshit. Sure, he's going to appoint 1 or 2 Republicans as a token gesture, but that will just be another act to keep up appearances for the gullible, mental midget Obama voters who aren't intelligent enough to figure out they've been duped.

I probably haven't tasted as many as that, but I'm sure I've tasted better stuff.

Neener.

Anyone else here a beer tasting fiend? What did you taste that was special? Where?
I tasted carrot beer... horrible. Rose petal beer was also horrible.

I had Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale this Halloween. It was actually surprisingly good. It was like drinking liquid pumpkin pie.

But the weirdest beer I've ever had is Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Rauchbier means "smoked beer" in German, because they smoke the malt. It tastes exactly like maple bacon for some reason, it's crazy. I didn't like it too much and I could barely finish the bottle but it was pretty interesting.

TALK ABOUT BEER

I've become a bit of a beer geek. Most of my favorite beers are microbrewed, premium kinds that most of you have probably never heard of.

My top 7 beers

1) Rogue Double (Imperial) Indian Pale Ale (USA)

This is just about the hoppiest beer you can get, with a pretty high alcohol content (9.2%) as well. It's a bit on the expensive side, it's usually $12 for a bottle, but it's worth it to me. I'm fascinated by it because it's so strong, yet unlike a Barleywine, the high alcohol doesn't make it taste like vomit.

2) Duvel (Belgium)

This is a Belgian equivalent of a Double IPA. It's not quit as hoppy as the Rogue I2Pa, but it's on tap at a bar I go to so I drink it a lot. It's really good; hoppy, sweet, tangy. I can drink a whole lot of these.

3) Samuel Adams Winter Lager (USA)

All Samuel Adams beers are good, but this one is my favorite, even though most people tend to mention their Imperial Pilsner as their absolute best. Winter Lager is kind of like the Boston Lager which is their flagship beer (as far as sales), but a little bit sweeter and has a very unique secondary flavor, pine, that I've never tasted before in beer. It's seasonal though so it's only sold for 3 months out of the year though.

4) Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel (Germany)

This is a very good, German dark lager. It's incredibly malty, and what's great about it is that it's incredibly cheap for a German imported craft beer. It's like $3 for a bottle.

5) Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (USA)

This is usually the first beer that converts a regular beer drinker into a beer geek. It was for me. I was drinking Coors Light and Bud Light until someone gave me one of these and it opened my eyes a bit to hoppy and malty beer. I recommend this one for average beer drinkers.

6) Guinness Draught (Ireland)

Guiness is what most people think is the epitome of beer, because it has become "cool" to drink. It's not as good as people say it is, but it's a good start when weening people off of light lagers. Also the low alcohol content puts me off... I can't get drunk entirely on Guinness because it's a stout and is so thick and filling that I can only drink like 4 of them in one sitting. It's good though. I love the taste. People say it tastes like coffee, but I think it tastes a bit like tobacco and unsweetened dark chocolate.

7) Blue Moon Belgian White (USA)

This a Witbier that's American but it's made in the Belgian style. It's cloudy like Hefeweizen, but I guess it's actually not one, even though that's what I thought for a long time. It's incredibly refreshing and tastes a bit like orange sherbet. I recommend this one for average people because it's cheap.

-----

I could keep going, I could probably make a list of like 25 but I'll stop right there.

Also:

Is it just because other people around are drunk also and thus more likely to laugh? Or is it that drunk people are actually better at cracking jokes? What do you think? Do you get noticeably funnier when you drink?

--------

I think I'm actually quite a bit funnier when I'm drunk.

Example:
Tonight I went to a bar with some people and on the TV right above us there was a Quiznos commercial. It was for something called "Sammies" which are little sandwich wraps. Coincidentally, a chick I know named Sammie was there with us, and she was sitting next to me at our booth. So after the commercial was like "Come to Quiznos and get your Sammie today!", I was like "Why go to Quiznos when I have a Sammie right here? Nom nom nom," and I gestured like I was eating her shoulder.

Now that may be a stupid joke, but everyone at the table laughed pretty hard and I was cracking jokes like that for hours. I thought about it and I realized that I'm never the jokester like that unless I'm drunk. If I was sober and in basically any other situation I would have never thought to do anything like that. Even if I did think up that joke in other situations, I probably wouldn't have said it for fear of embarrassing myself. For instance... at work I'm known as a stone cold hard ass because I never, ever joke around with anyone. It might be the stress or whatever, but I think I have a bit of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on.

So yeah, even though you're basically all underage and likely to lie and pretend you get drunk regularly... answer the questions.

If you really want to know, call the BC medical services, they may be able to help you. But spending the time to find that statistic isn't going to do me or Dirty a bit of good.

Lol quit the fucking act. Did your link do anybody any good? Nope. In fact it doesn't even apply either way.

Heart surgery. Dirty needs surgery on his heart right?

Not all heart surgery is the same and I think even you know that. Having a valve replaced is a little bit different, don't you think? Wouldn't that require a donor?

He's talking about having a pulmonary valve REPLACED.

Find Canada's stats for that one.

For what purpose?

Are you serious? It's YOU who ignored all the facts you didn't like because you wanted to only argue about DirtySyko situation and use it to indict the entire US system. It's YOU who is trying to pretend Canada's system is better based on Dirty's situation. It's YOU who used a link about the heart surgery in BC to say that it applies to all of Canada, and thus in contrast to DirtySyko's situation, shows he'd be better off in Canada supposedly. But your link didn't reflect the national average in Canada, nor did it apply to pulmonary heart valve replacement, which is what Dirty said he needed.

Get a grip man.

You forgot the part about waiting in line for a year or more because his condition doesn't put his life in immediate danger.

According to the BC medical site, they say it's only a 7.7 week wait for cardiac surgery.
