True, but then again, writers often include the most provoking quotes they get, not necessarily the most commonly said ones. And you're right, I wasn't at the talk either, this is just coming from what I've heard from a few friends that a did go. I trust their judgement, but I also recognize that their perceptions are…
Everything you said is definitely true. I don't support a lot of the shit Israel does (and I'm not Jewish, btw). I just thought that the rationale behind a lot of this anger should be said by someone on this thread.
Ehhhhh. I guess we can agree to disagree on that point. Regardless, such comments would naturally incense people supportive of Israel.
While that may be true it still doesn't change the fact that many offensive things were said that are genuinely worth getting angry about. Getting so upset just because of the food being offered would indeed be ridiculous—and for some people that is their reason—but ignoring the main cause for concern is kind of…
In my whole foods, the palestinian tapenade is in the same aisle as the manischewitz. If peace ever comes, it may very well be through food - and I'm totally ok with this.
The main upset with this is not so much that they're serving Palestinian food as much as it's about the Palestinian panel discussion that took place right before it opened. Read local articles about it and you'll see that's what most people are upset about. I'm a Pitt student and my roommate is a very active member of…
I find the context of the objection odd, given that of the cuisines listed, there's at least one country listed that almost everyone would agree the US is right to be in conflict with (unless there's a pro-North Korea contingent I'm unaware of). Given that, it doesn't seem like inclusion is an endorsement of policy.
Wasn't this the plot of the "Palestinian Chicken" episode from "Curb your Enthusiasm"?
I have no idea how I lived for 40 years without a salad spinner. The day after I got mine, my mother got an heartbroken, accusatory email from me for never having used one when I grew up. I thought she loved me.
Cannot do without my Williams Sonoma citrus juicer. I know I can just use my hands, but it's so much cleaner and more fun to use this! And lemon juice can go in just about any dish and make it better IMO.
Anyone who doesn't answer "mandolin slicer" is a damn fool. What's that? Need me to julienne boat loads of veggies or slice 5 lbs of potatoes for au gratin that's going to take 15 minutes with a knife? Ok, I got this shit in 30 seconds...
Your Just Another Criticizing Zombie Citizen.
It is like a perverted Cheshire cat.
What, do I have to do everything? Tim Conway and the Elephant, the greatest outtake of all time:
There are so many things I don't understand, and frankly do not want to understand. Such as, fried bread and toast? WTF? Also, ladles of tomatoes? And beans for breakfast seems like a nice way to fart the day. I mean, start the day.
Rosamund Pike was phenomenal! Her portrayal of Amy was spot on for how I pictured her when reading the book.
five guys had easily top 3 fast food fries, not sure how you couldn't like them...
I just heard one of these dudes on the radio that other day, they said the Illuminati are involved and Joan Rivers was killed for making that joke because OH SHIT THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG!
