so my brother called me a hippie

[beyelzu]

fucking ironic I know.

but he is to the right of atilla the hun, believes in pax americana.

and since I am to the left of attilla, not by much at times, I am a liberal in comparison.

It's weird like on flag burning, I think it is unamerican protected speech, he thinks it should be outlawed. the leftists think I am fucking conservative and the neocons think I am a goddamned liberal.


being a little l libertarian sucks.

He actually called you a hippie? You, with the shaved head and the sword-lobbing and the bad, bad attitude? Are you sure he wasn't just being all judgmental about the weed? Or possibly high as a motherfucker himself?

[Dingfod]

If you are a hippie, what am I?

Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm a Republican now. Nevermind.

no, it was based on my hippie ideas like personal freedom and that an illegal baseless war with Iraq was a bad thing. He aslo didn't take my criticsim of gitmo's camp xray.

While he doesnt like Bush, he likes Kerry even less.

Our grandfather was career military. Uber badass, a man's man. One tough motherfucker by all accounts. My brother was also in the army. didnt like Kerry's nam record.

exactly.

you practicing your goosestepping yet?

I tried to tell 'em... the way to sell Pepsi is not: "It tastes like shit, but it ain't Coke!"* :D

:eek: Why, 'cause he shot himself in the leg to get one of them Purple Hearts?


* I wonder... does anyone else think of Coke as the dominant partner in the Coke/Pepsi relationship? Where did I get that from? Was Coke around way earlier than Pepsi or something?

[Petra]

Was Coke around way earlier than Pepsi or something?

Yup. (http://members.aol.com/rcrown/Coke/CokeHist.htm)

Wow, that's amazing. I would've guessed it came on the scene in the 40's or 50's maybe. No way I knew it was older than my Grandmother. Freaky.

Maybe his brother is a big fan of Cartman on Southpark.

:cartman:

[Dingfod]

Dr Pepper (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bldrpepper.htm) is older than Coke or Pepsi. First concocted in a Waco drugstore in 1885 vs 1886 (Coke) vs 1898 (Pepsi).

[Dingfod]

^See, I am not a hippie, or a Republican, I am a nerd.

beyelzu, I invoke Godwin on the whole gooseschtepping thing.

More like :Cartler:

Well I'll be even damnder. That explains a hell of a lot to me. Has anyone else at this juncture made the pretty obvious Coke lobby - Waco massacre connection?

[Goliath]

Actually, where I live, Dr. Pepper is hard to find (you can get it at grocery stores, but most restaraunts don't carry it)...instead, there's Mr. Pibb.

I want my soft drink to have a PhD, damnit! :order: :D

[Petra]

/me can't help herself and continues derail..


Wow, I had no idea Dr. Pepper was so old.

But! Was it full of cocaine like Coca-cola was? :D

I believe Coke had to remove the last traces of cocaine from the drink in, like, 1963, or something, due to the FDA making a law about putting cocaine in the kiddies drinks. 1963 is a lot later than I would have expected, and thought that it was removed in the '20s or 30s. Of course it wasn't really a kid's drink back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Coke has a pretty interesting history.

Ha! You liberal elitist soda-sipper!


never mind the PhD, just put the coke back in it


Edit: I've started a thread (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=22461#post22461) for us to continue discussing the histories of drink and food if you're interested.

Then we can get back to the business of telling beyelzu what an utter cock his brother is. :D

[Godless Dave]

Personally I'd be honored if someone called me a hippy. But you, beyelzu, are no hippie. No offense.

none taken. I think it's pretty obvious I am not a hippy as well.

[livius drusus]

I'll see your :hippie: and raise you a :joint:

[beyelzu]

:hippie:
it would have been funnier if you had named the hippie smiley, grady or beyelzu.

then, I would have had to use the shakefist smiley.

[livius drusus]

I'll do you one better than that, my friend. Meet the new Grady: :pinko:

Whoah....is it just me, or does it look like that smiley is stretching her face beyond all comprehension to make herself look like Jabba The Hutt for a second (and why don't we have a Jabba The Hutt smiley? :order: :D )?

it was just you, but now that you have said it, that smiley is really fucking with me too.

[livius drusus]

I actually didn't upload it for ages because that face-stretching thing freaked me out. Same thing with :ptht:. Then somebody asked for the dude so I figgered I might as well not be sexist about it and uploaded them both.

[Zoot]

It's because people don't realise there's more than one political spectrum. They think it's like this:

Communist - Socialist/Greenie - Democrat - Republican - Libertarian

But really, it's more like this:

Authoritarian Socialist (Marxist) ------ Authoritarian Capitalist (American)
---------------|---------------------------------|-------------------
---------------|---------------------------------|-------------------
---------------|---------------------------------|-------------------
Libertarian Socialist (Anarchist) ----- Libertarian Capitalist (Wanker)
