I don't like coffee. Therefore, I hate Americans (US Americans only).
I don't like tea. I hate the Britishers/UKers.
I don't like tacos, guacamole, etc. I hate all of Latin America.
I don't like wine. I hate the rest of Western Europe.
I don't like vodka. There goes the whole Eastern Bloc.
I don't like soup/stew. I hate all poor people.
I don't like scapegoat. It's Fistful's fault.

Holy crap.

I now accept that we are in the beginning throes of end times.

Maybe the kids don't like it, not because their racist, but because it tastes like something scraped from around a camel's ass?

Thankfully, at least, this is the UK. They're serving as our warning.

I wish I could believe that.

I don't even see the age of the kids or any of that as the issue.

My issue is the government telling you it's wrong or illegal to think a certain way.  I hate neo-nazis, but I'll be damned if they ever make being one illegal here in the US.  The government has no business telling you if your thoughts are good or bad.

I like how they completely ignore the fact that a person's tastes change (often expanding) drastically as they age.  I saw a show a couple weeks ago (No Reservations) where they were eating some dish in Vietnam that adults liked, but all the kids hated.  What would these tools think about that? rolleyes

I hated peas as a little kid.  Does that mean I was doomed to be violent ?

Not necessarily. All we're asking is that you give peas a chance.  cheesy

Before I opened the thread, just from the title, I knew this had to have happened in England.

I don't like monkey brains.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Well, from the looks of my gut, I am not a racist.  However, I have LESS THAN ZERO white guilt.  I call everyone else just jealous.  Life is what you make of it, not what is given to you...chris3

Does this mean I'm racist because I only order white meat when I get chicken?......   undecided

I was once called racist because my washing machine was white . . . but I opened it up and showed my critic that inside, there was a colored agitator.

 undecided

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
Some people think it's funny.
But it keeps them on my knife.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Lutfisk (lutefisk in Norwegian I believe) is preserved in lye yes. Surströmming is the one that smells so bad, and that you can't bring onto a plane (risk of explosion from the swollen cans apparently laugh).
I don't eat either of those myself. Guess I'm also a racist.
