You can get any kind of food here. From Brazilian to Thai. ...mmmmm Thai!

By the way - great thread Despondent!

Thanks, Sailor Abbey.
And thank you for your service.

Last Thai restaurant I went to, I asked for some hot mustard (S&S shrimp was all sweet). They looked at me like I was crazy. That or like I was an American in a restaurant in Thailand.

I go to restaurants and I see what can be described as, "Lame it and Flame it", except I loose my flame and become flameless after eating.

Clearly, you must ignite yourself with spicey food.

We can complain about our country without being turned into unpeople! (At least for now.) Take THAT, China and North Korea!

[Otal Nimrodi]

So, what sort of food can you get at a Vietnamese restaraunt?

I like the groovy spirit of rebellion that is ingrained in our natural heritage. Try to take my gun and I'll shoot you. Try to take my fireworks and I'll go to an Indian reservation, where people we tried to exterminate have now found a new livelyhood helping the ancestors of people who tried to kill them blow their hands off. Start all the unjust wars you want, but if you tell me to go I'm off to Canada. Take my liquer I'll go out and buy some bathtubs and corn.

I also like some of the literary minds America has produced, allowing a lot of people who, in former times, wouldnt have been noticed til they were long dead (like Nietzche or Beethoven) to be recognized and make a name for themselves here, except for that brief time when we tried prohibition and they all got pissed and left for Cuba or France.

Oh and

"America is a stagnant beast that will eventually crumble under its own diplomacy"

The fact that people can make statements that are vague and have little sense in them, but still be able to make those statements at random and then kinda wander off. In that tradition...

Finland is the son of a prostitute that will, tomorrow, sizzle under the heat of it's own hot love-meat. With onions.

That Finnish remark based on Personal experience?

Indians aren't the only ones who sell fireworks; or who ignored prohibition.

Which at least the government abolished. So they've done SOMEthing right, correct?

[J m HofMarN]

Oh I definately wasn't implying that Indians are the only ones who sell fireworks and the prohibition bit had little to do with the Indian bit. If anything it's Italian immigrants who are associated with breaking prohibition, but as I pointed out that isn't a bad thing to me. And yeah I would definately say getting rid of prohibition was a good move since it allowed Hemingway to return to the US.

And the bit about Finnland was based upon as much research and thinking as Ion Eon's post.

It was those damn Sicilians! (and the Irish and the Russians).


Something good, we have decent refrigeration.

italian? we are full of racial stereotypes today....

but i'm going to one up and say the irish were the biggest prohabition ignoring group...

(also, i'm half indian and i don't have any realtives who can hook me up with fireworks)

[J m HofMarN]

also, I've bought plenty of illegal fireworks, from Indians or not, and never blown my hand off.

[Spoon Poetic]

I've never heard of Indians selling fireworks. It's always the whitest of the white rednecks...

[Slade]

Around here, the Indians sell cheap cigarettes. For some reason, they never have to pay sales tax, so sell everything cheaper because they can buy it cheaper.

(For the record, NY Sales tax is roughly $.yourSoul per dollar. It's 9.75% in my home county, and was 8.25% everywhere else, last I checked. And nobody ever sees anything done with all of this tax money, as far as I can tell.)

[Cobnat]

Have never served in the military, but I am a patriot.

Wow, thats like saying "I support the Democrats but I voted for the Republicans".

[J m HofMarN]

Military service is the only way to show patriotism? Wow that's interesting. What about policemen, firemen, volunteers, aid groups, the peace corps, protesters, teachers, I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot.
