AggieDave 6 #51 May 14, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuote I know you food is shit, I have eaten it, didn't look like you guys care too much what you eat at all. that is why american companies sell better quality food in australasia han they do in ther own country, because we damand it. Ok, I've read this three or four times and I have no idea what you were trying to say. Try typing it out again, slower and less angry this time, so I can read it and I'll be happy to reply in kind. Not to mention I have a hard time giving credibility to the culinary criticisms of someone who admits to eating shit. I mean, if it smells like poop, for crying out loud, don't eat it! Well, the guy suggests to people that theft is perfectly OK as long as its against a business, so how can you believe anything else he says? When credibility is lost on basic ethics, pretty much every single thing stated after that is seriously in doubt!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Shotgun 1 #53 May 14, 2010 QuoteThey joined in with healthy salads, healthier menus and more variety of selections. The had no choice, change or go out of business. If they wanted to do it they would do it in America also, you guys would probaly turn your nose up at a healthy selection anyway. Actually, they did that in America too. There are salads and other healthier choices on the menu at McDonald's here. QuoteIt is possible to eat healthy in the USA if you cook yourself but eating out is like a death sentence! That's simply not true. We have plenty of healthy choices for dining out here. Yeah, we don't always choose to eat healthy, but the options are there. (In most cities anyway. Small towns often don't have many options.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #55 May 14, 2010 Quote Quote I don't know about that. I'm starting to think that "Texas style" bbq has to actually be made in Texas for it to taste right, so maybe there is some kind of voodoo within the state borders that affects the bbq. You are correct sir. It's the same principle that makes Chinese food taste better with chopsticks. As to why I put it in SC. This place has the best flame wars and I like stirring the pot (pun intended) from time to time. .......and this thread has earned it's right to reside in the SC and is on it's way to SC hall of fame! I like good BBQ as well as the next guy.... but dayem! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhys 0 #57 May 14, 2010 Quote Eh, I've tried Vegemite; you can keep it! ooh you're showing your cultural knowledge again Bill, Vegemite is made by Kraft a multinational conglomerate and the secvond largest food and beverage comapy in the world. Vegemite has its strongwest market in australia and hence the words of 'men at work' in their 'land downunder' song. New Zealanders don't (usually) eat Vegemite Kiwis usually eat marmite made by Sanatarium which is owned by the seventh day adventsit church, this is different to the english marmite (yuk). marmite Your taste buds grow to what you are used to. I grew up on marmite and I enjoy it very much, you probably like eating lips, ears, and assholes stuffed in intestines and shoved in a steamed bun palmed off as a 'hot dog'. That is what amaericans grow up on. each to thier own I suppose!"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have to resort to changing the subject, it is obvious to me and probably others here that you are arguing for the sake of arguing. Well, from what you described previously, it is theft as defined by law. Justify being a thief all you want, it still doesn't change anything. Why does it matter? A thief is a person who will deprive someone of tangible property and lie about it. It is someone who you can't trust on your dropzone, since your gear or your friend's gear will be stolen.

A thief has no place in skydiving. If you could explain where any lying took place I would maybe be inclined ot beleive you, by obscuring the truth and trying to suggest I am a thief is quite appaling for someone in your position. Especially when you are clearly trying to defame me with your skewed viewpoint of what happened. Defamation of an innocent person is against the law in some places.

Why don't you go to your local WalMart and start arresting people returning merchandise they paid for? There are a lot of WalMarts in the US. I wonder how many people have gotten arrested for returning merchanidse they paid for? Guess there are a lot of useless cops out there. here is some other fine work of one of your "brothers", he clearly should have kept to arresting people at the WalMart Customer Service desk. http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/local&id=7433661 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
