Duuuude ... I am a brahmin.
Ergo, no chicken, no lamb, no beef (hell no) no pork (yuck ... pork) no fish ... (double yuck ... ) no eggs ... get it. AKA, no meat and no eggs.
Yea, I grew up with eggs though, but never ate meat till I was like 15.
I still have relatives who will not eat any of those, and they are in the US. My cousin will not eat all that, and not eat cheese either (it looks and feels too much like meat ... like how would you know )
And no she's not skinny, she's like 200 lbs. My wife wont eat meat either. And nope, still not skinny. In my wife's defence, her parents played a horrible trick on her ...
OK I eat all of the above and for easter I wanted to barbecue a rabbit like last year ... but the damn thing ran so fast ... I had to settle for a cat ... damn ... its stringy ...  
Cool.

What did her parents do to your wife??? (I have a cat that would feed a family of 8, but I think he'd be too tough, too )

hey vert, ummm how do you know what diarrhea over rice looks like?

You eat cat too???

Quote from: RVertigoI love Vindaloo!  It looks like diarrhea over rice, but damn it's good!!!

Yes it does.  And after eating it most people will likely have diarrhea.  So it looks the same going in as it does coming out.

When she was about 8, they took her to a party where they were serving fish and they encouraged her to eat it. Now after she didn't like it, they sorta made her eat some more. Then she got sick (she'd never eaten any meat before, they are pure vegetarians who dont even eat eggs) and then they told her it was fish. Fish is not the first kind of meat anyone should start with.
Anyway I've told her, chicken is what is ideal to start and yesterday we craved a whole rotiserrie, and its for me and kid. Yea kid will eat meat like a pro. He'd ask for it and scarf it down like it was manna from heaven.
Its actually good for him too, he's supposed to stay off gluten and casein and eventually more things like soy and rice and what not due to his autism. So we will probably have to turn mom into a meat eater, then she can cook meat, and feed the kid and herself and me.
Cool.

Man I have the same problem,

I grew up in a very white community in Nevada City California I was never racist. I moved to San Diego in august and started working for best buy. I have the same problems as you I ask to see there id on a 2k purchase and they start to tell me all this shaZam! i dont want to hear. I say its store policy and then they argue more we bring a manager into the situation and they finally show id, and the whole thing could have been done faster with the flash of id


they just seem to try to complicate every situation

Do they require ID because the customer is using a credit card?

Most likely.

I had something very similar happen a couple months back.  This lady paid with her credit card, and when she signed for the charges on the pinpad, NOTHING matched.

Now everyone knows that those pin pads never look like the real signature, so I only look for key points...  The type of loop on their letters, general overall shape of the signature, etc...

So when I couldn't see ANY resemblance to her signature on the back of her credit card, I asked to see her ID.  She then proceeded to spout off that I'm only doing this to harrass her.  WTF?!?!?!?!?

I actually have it written on the back of my cc's to check ID, and whenever anyone actually does it, I thank them. I wish all businesses checked ID's with credit card purchases! 

I am amazed at the number of people thanking me that I check theiry ID (or even their signature on the back of their CC).

Of course, you always get those people who get pissed at you for asking to see their ID.

"I'm sorry Sir, but it says 'C.I.D' on the back of you card..."

They're idiots, especially the ones who get angry after REQUESTING that their ID be checked!

A friend of mine sent me this e-mail today:

"So I was thinking about the bombing on the Iraqi parliment.   They bombed the house of their new democracy.   Which brings up another point: they bombed the house of their new democracy.   A fact which may be overshadowed by the fact that they bombed the house of their new democracy. 

It is becomeing obvious that these people are not capable or deserving of democracy.   Only a tyrant could control these animals.   I say the hell with them.   The whole lot of them.  Why should we care?  They disgust me. 

Like Luca Brazzi said in The Godfather movie, "They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls."

If they don't want freedom, they shouldn't have it.  It they did want it they would be fighting for it.   I say give them back a tyrant.  I see why Sadam Hussein was a brutal leader.   He had to keep the inmates in line."

I am not sure how I feel about this.  What do you guys think?  The longer this war drags on, the more I start to feel this way too. 

imho iraq was a champagne bottle, with hussein as its cork. it was being shaken all the time, however, no one htere even thought about even farting teh wrong way, or they die. now that hussein is gone, poof no more cork, and teh built up pressure is letting itself out

Jake, the only thing keep'n Iraq from going nutz was Saddam.....he's ruled those nutballs with a iron fist, do what I want or I'll kill your "tribe"
F' em! We're screwed, cause they have been killing each other for 1000's of years and this puppet democracy that bush and his crew are try'n to install will never ever hold!
We need to spend the 90+ million dollars a week we spend gettin our sons and daughters killed on research and retro fitting the country with a stable energy source, and say bye bye freaks! Be true leaders and lead the world into a new energy era! Those fools would go bankrupt! And go back to stoneage!


Sorry for the rant!



And yes RACISM SUCK!

It seems more an more people are starting to feel that way.   I have felt that way for a while now (two years) myself.  Even the right wing is starting to see the writing on the wall.  Tough to argue otherwise.
