Questions you should like to see them ask in a Miss World Pageant

[Camikaze]

I agree.

But then the fact that women willingly participate in beauty contests also only has a tangential relationship to whether its a desirable feature of the world?

Yes, but that's not what we were talking about.

 

[Borachio]

Oh, I see. I thought we were talking about whether it was right or not for women to enter Beauty Pageants.

 

[Camikaze]

I think we were talking about whether it was wrong, not whether it was desirable. Something can be undesirable without it being inherently wrong or morally outrageous.

 

[Borachio]

Well, I suppose we differ on that point quite a lot. I'd have said saying something is undesirable is just a mild way of saying it's wrong.

And as far as I know being immoral doesn't mean much more than something is wrong too.

Though wrong in a specific way of course. 2+2=5 is wrong. But not morally wrong.

Still, I expect I have it wrong. I do tend to be a bit simple.

Warm beer is undesirable. But inherently wrong? Hmm. Maybe you're right.

 

[Borachio]

See?

Some beer is desirably warm[er]. Darker beers like stouts are best served around 10C, and cask ales are typically served at room temperature due to the unique methods in which they are brewed.

 

[Antilogic]

Just what we'd expect some commie beer snob to say.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Knowledgeable about beer /= beer snob

 

[Camikaze]

If you were to drink my sweat I'd probably recommend room temperature too, but warmth being preferred doesn't make it a good thing.

 

[Yeekim]

Yeah, according to Aristotelean logic, that simply means that stouts are undesirable.
I tend to agree

What a wonderful, delicious world you are missing out on.

I was not completely serious - I've sampled stouts from time to time, but they aren't among my favorites.

Anyway, whenever in Brussels, I like to visit Delirium Cafe, with their excellent selection (well over 2000 brands) of beer. There is a lot to explore even leaving stouts aside.

Slightly warm Innis & Gun is the best way one can enjoy a Innis & Gun. Cool that thing down and it loses flavour.

Mind you I don't drink mine warm either. Slightly cool seems to work best for me.

This is certainly true. And personally I wouldn't have it any other way. A real beer is properly a living thing, and to chill it to death is simply cruel. This does, though, mean that drinking a good real ale at room temperature on a hot summer's day is impractical. Luckily I live in a climate when this is a really rare event.

Camikaze, who lives in a hot world, has a point. But a culture-specific one.

How about explain why you think Math is important.

 

[Antilogic]

It is capitalized why?

 

[Kaitzilla]

To annoy english majors.
