France and Iran: The Wine Standoff
« on: January 28, 2016, 03:57:15 PM »
Never thought I'd give a thumbs up to a socialist, but gotta love Hollande telling Iran to stick it when they wanted wine removed from a lunch meeting menu.  :laugh:

Danged uppity Iranian jerk. They got their nuclear bomb factory deal, so now they think they can tell the whole world how to live and act.

What's wrong with just, like, not drinking wine if you don't drink wine? It's not necessary to make it into an international incident and torpedo a state dinner because your religion doesn't like the fruit of the vine.

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.

It probably wouldn't amaze you the number of Muslims that drink alcohol.  In Iraq the liquor stores were almost as prominent as the brothels.

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

Didn't see a lot of goats but plenty of sheep.

That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.
