You like kangaroos, perhaps? Or maybe the opposite, and you find them repulsive?
 
You like kangaroos, perhaps?

That's just the thing... I've never encountered them, and thus don't have a like/dislike opinion of them... I just found the idea shocking as soon as I heard about it. Could it be the idea the Kangaroo is Australia's national animal, and so I find it odd they'd eat it, considering in say, America, it's taboo to eat eagles because of their status as our national animal? :confused:

Or maybe the opposite, and you find them repulsive?

Oh this isn't true at all. I thought tailless' character design was pretty interesting, and it was one of those "I think this species is AWESOME" moments. Similar things have happened with wombats, horses, etc. all simply because of a single character of that species having an interesting/awesome design to me.

...Oddly enough, the artist who drew the horse and wombat that made those species awesome to me was also Australian... :lol:

I hereby beg the question:

Do Australians have some sort of subtle mind control device, capable of easily influencing people to like their creations? Perhaps they imported it from the East Asian countries, which also have this device?
 
The prevalence of cow, chicken and pig meat in the US makes you able to emotionally detach yourself from the fact that you're eating a previously eating organism.

You do not feel that way with kangaroos because you didn't grow up in a kangaroo meat-rich place.

*handwave* no, they don't. You will never ask this question again, and you will delete all content related to this business. You will have no memory of this ever happening. *handwave*
 
I'm curious, how much of an dick do I sound like given the following:

I walked by the Catholic student association table and a girl I know asked me to donate to stop child sex slavery. I told her as an atheist I don't donate to religious organization as the principle of the matter, she was like what? It's not the religion that matters but I was like yeah I'll donate to a secular organization but I wouldn't donate to the salvation army either. She seemed well either pissed of or disgusted, it was hard to tell.

you sounded just about as big as my dick which is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty big
 
Meh, I find it funny that an organization with institutionalized child sex abuse is trying to get me to donate money to end child sex slavery.
 
I would say that you have the right to choose any criteria you want for donating, and that if anyone asks you for money and then asks you why you won't give it to them, you have the right to tell them the truth. That doesn't mean it's not possible to be a jerk about it, but whether you were or not would depend more on tone, which cannot be determined on the internet.
 
yo

i got some whiskey. how do i drink this? straight down the chap or add something to it

cheers

q

I like mine with sour mix. I assume you're drinking black label Jim Beam, right? Good aged BOURBON whiskey?
 
@Karalysia: No, you're not a dick. If you feel like the Catholic Church has proven itself untrustworthy, or you're like Winner and think religion is evil, you can choose to donate to somewhere else.

I wouldn't donate it to a religious organisation whose message and beliefs I do not agree with. One could argue that "it's the actions that matter", but I don't want someone to think the Catholic Church is to be thanked for my donation...

It's southern comfort! American whiskey ;)
What is sour mix?

Its a bit sweet for me though.
 
Karalysia, you can't be forced either to donate or not to donate. And the girl has every right to feel disappointed, disgusted, angry or whatever, as long as you both don't step off the mark.

Lol Southern Comfort a whiskey

Jim Beam Black Label is awesome. Always buy some in duty free, its harder to get locally.

I agree with the lolz, SoCom is for children. I can only assume that because its so damn sweet. I would drink it with coke simply because of the sweeetness.

Jim Beam or Jack Daniels (even Wild Turkey despite the stength) are good sippin' whiskeys. I don't know much about more local American whiskeys, but I like what gets over here. I really prefer them over Irish whiskeys, though I do like Scotch.

I would just ask her why her organisation allows paedophile rings to operate with imupinty.

I realise that would be a hard thing to say in real life. I had a guy come into the pub I work in, and we got to talking about the Catholic Abuse Scandal. In general I try to make sure to not talk about Religion, Politics and Personal stuff in normal conversation. Thats all that makes conversation interesting with strangers, especially at work, which is a quiet one or two customer pub, so I'm bored and usually go to current affairs. He went on the usual apologist spiel about how it would be hard for a priest to speak up in those 1960s/70s circumstances. I hit him with that line and he had to agree with me that its the inaction of the majority of members that allows the higher ups to get away with it.

I guess in your situation the other person is in the position of power, but still it would be good to say it to her to see how she reacts. Its a completely true statement to make. I bet it would be the "would be hard for a priest to speak up"/"few bad eggs" stories.

Took me awhile to work out what 'SoCom' was, me and my friends just refer to it as SoCo. Either way yeah, is for those who are still developing what they like to drink. Not a big Jim Beam fan but regularly go through JD phases, i find it's also particularly helpful when I have a sore throat/the perfect hangover continuing drinking drink.

For those keeping score currently I'm in a vodka period.
 
For those who work with people you have never met: Do you look them up in Facebook to put a face to a name?

As others have mentioned, Southern Comfort is a sweet...well I don't really know that it's entirely a whiskey even. It's actually better imho when used to make mixed drinks. But to each their own, and if you prefer it over bourbon or sour mash or whatever, enjoy :)

Here is the wiki entry on a whiskey sour, though honestly I've never bothered with the individual ingredients. Rather, I just buy a bottle of pre-made sour mix. Beam goes fine with coke as well.

Also, try brandy! Taliesin, that fine upstanding fellow, got me to try St. Remy's brandy and I just love it.
