I'm surprised at how many people have this same attitude about allergies/asthma. They're well known and documented ailments, yet when I go into a fit a sneezing, there's always some idiot who blurts out "Oh shit, are you sick bro? Don't sneeze on me, I don't want to catch a cold!". When I start choking and wheezing from an asthma attack there's always an fucking retard who chimes in and says "Dude, why are you out of breath? Maybe you need to get some exercise." Fucking A, that makes me mad.
Enough about me though, that must suck. Did prolonged exposure to loud noise cause your tinnitus?
Are you a nationalist?

I don't believe in a supernatural or genetic uniqueness surround my or any other country that gives it a unique role in the world or a special destiny that must be achieved at all costs. On the other hand, I think that any good hard glance at the world shows you that identity, specifically national and religious aren't really declining in the way that it can feel when you live in a white area in Europe. There needs to be something more that what currently exists to secure the interests of those I would deem to be, effectively, my people, because our own collective memory, level of tolerance and cultural heritage lead up to us being weak in some ways, whilst apparently strong. It's been said that one of the reasons why the holocaust was able to take place is that many of the jews had effectively accepted their fate as punished ones, without a state, at the mercy of the nations.

And now they have embraced nationalism to its fullest extent. I'm not sure if I dislike nationalism or globalism more. I'm pretty sure borders aren't necessary for cultural preservation, though. Look at the various indigenous cultures that develop and exist within any large country.

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Globalization is basically interconnectedness that is caused by advances in technology and the lack of large scale state vs state wars / the absence of balance of power IR and the increasing importance of partnerships. The single dominant economic system can also be said to contribute to it. Nationalism = protectionism and the mythological premise for dictatorship and war.

One of my pet peeves, is when a perfectly good thread on a forum gets hi-jacked by a bunch of people talking about politics.

I hate it when someone lurks on this forum for 8 years and then only speaks up to bitch about what the rest of us are talking about.

first
didn't realize you were refering to stuff being eaten in your own home
if they're eating at a public resturaunt, then you shoudn't give a rat's ass about their eating habbits
second
if you're cooking for people, you should avoid the whole situation by asking "what would you like me to cook??"
that way, when they refuse to eat it, you can be all like "i just cooked what you told me to"

there is a huge difference between this http://www.google.com/search?num=10...0.0.312.624.3-2.2.0...0.0...1ac.1.a_lauVF0KkU
and this

the first link being girls that are actually healthier than the anorexically thin girls that some of you find sexy
and the second link is women who actually have a severe medical problem
