 | | Domdaniel: <Jess> I thought that most East Asians were allergic to milk? Why would they leave lactic acid for Santa? |
|

| | SwitchingQuylthulg: One would think that if they're allergic to milk, leaving it for somebody else would make all the more sense :) |

| | Domdaniel: < I have some relatives who do in regards to me.>
<Ohio> Heh, I understand. Though I reckon there's quite some variation in what people regard as relations. I fully accept parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, children and grandchildren ... and, okay, first cousins. But nothing further out. When I'm told that somebody is my 3rd cousin, once removed, I don't really want to know. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: The Great "Milk Allergy" myth.
Nope. Not unless Koreans aren't East Asians. Every Korean public school kid gets force-fed milk in the morning and milk at lunch. More debunking: East Asians are "bad drivers" because they have no peripheral vision. Nope. Not in Korea anyway. Koreans are "bad drivers" because they do not understand the concept that it's a poor idea to drive at 60 kph on streets full of school children. There is no such thing as a "school zone" in Korea- they have no "lower speed limits" for streets around schools. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> OK ... so, er, milk causes peripheral vision?
I guess I'm lucky, then... I don't drive and I don't drink milk. (LENDL: Low Expectations, No Driving License). |

Thanks. Nuance is sometimes lacking. |

| Dec-26-13 | | cro777: <Domdaniel: How about a quote from punk poet John Cooper Clarke? -- "I've seen the World, I didn't like it!" ...!?> Johnny would probably say about redheads: "If you like your coffee hot
let me be your coffee pot!" |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <H> Nice post, although I had to search the entire internets to find out what you were talking about. But no fear! Armed with context, I can now add usefully to the discussion. Are you all familiar with the terms "nonce" and "rogering"? Thank goodness for England and Ireland. Thanks to nobody knowing much about their customs, I was able to teach every one of my students how to "flip the bird" with two fingers instead of the notorious one finger. I'm all about student safety. |

Dec-26-13
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Yep. Jolly rogering. (I can't speak for nonces...) |

| Dec-26-13 | | Thanh Phan: The American traffic has been much more hard to deal with than Vietnam traffic even if the traffic appears a bit chaotic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-q9... I think the people here rely more on distractions like signs, lights and painted road directions, and less on focusing on what is around them |
|

| | Domdaniel: <cro777> Or how about "Outside the takeaway on Saturday night, a bald adolescent asked me for a fight ... enter the Dragon, exit Johnny Clarke" ...? |

| Dec-27-13 | | Travis Bickle: <Thanh Phan: The American traffic has been much more hard to deal with than Vietnam traffic even if the traffic appears a bit chaotic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-q9> That traffic clip is a good example of Random Chaos Theory... ; P |

It's useless when gifts are almost guaranteed by some sugarcoated figure. Frighten the little ones - they'll be scared shetlands to misbehave in the two weeks leading up to the feast. In case of our beloved saint nick it involves threatening they'll be taken to Spain. Which would appear to be an improvement to your average Dutch winter. I'm not quite sure of those origins - though they don't matter much. At that age kids are still gullible enough to believe the punishment will be terrible <indeed>. It's fun while it lasts ;) |

Yes. Many things are.

Heh, excellent.

| | Domdaniel: The words <Domdaniel will appear in your dreams> have mysteriously appeared on my laptop screen. I'm perplexed. Has a virus fallen in love with me? Have my dreams, such as they are, been hijacked? Or is there an innocent explanation? Nah, we can rule *that* out. There hardly ever is. |

| Dec-29-13 | | MarkFinan: It appears I've managed to confuse, offend and stump the anti homosexual Christians with the following post! Oh well. And good, I'm glad too. Not the offending part, just the part where they *can't* prove me wrong. <MarkFinan: Explain this to me. When I was just a little boy, me and my sister used to go and visit my gran with my Dad every weekend. My dad's brother used to be there at the same time with his kids. I was easily under 9 year old, can't remember the exact age. Well my uncles son, my cousin used to play with my sister and her dolls rather than me and my star wars figures! *Every single time* before we even arrived my Dad would say "Mark. If you call your cousin gay AGAIN this week, you won't leave the house for a week!". My 5-6 yr old cousin would get all feminine and cry when my sister took her dolls back, and that was my cue to come in and subtly say..... "Little gay boy!". Lol.
He was the nicest and most pleasant young kid you'd ever meet, but my Dad, uncle, gran and most importantly me, could see back then he was *already gay*.He's now a nice pleasant young 35yr old man that's never hurt no one in his life... but he has a boyfriend! A huge blackman who could quite possibly be one by choice ,haha. But my cousin had no choice and the whole family knew it since he was a small boy. Explain that to me?>
I don't think they like homosexuals who *really* "ram it down your throat" ;) |
|
Dec-29-13
| | Domdaniel: <Mark> Yeah, I saw that one. Eh, you *sure* you want to *ram it down their throat*??
Heh, OK. It's your choice. Your, what's the word, orientation. I think there's another explanation, actually. A kid with those preferences doesn't *have* to be gay ... it's just that in our society, being gay is the easiest explanation. But sexuality is quite a complex thing, and may have many different manifestations.
For instance, several non-western cultures, such as Native American and Asian Indian, have had a space for (non-gay) cross-dressers. That's just an example, I make no comment on your cousin. We agree, though, that the Xtians have a very simplistic take on this subject.
As they start with the idea that it's a sin, it's no wonder they don't understand. |
