have you had the two simultaneously? i have not but that's about to change. i'm jsut seeing if i can't find out how it is before hand.

You know what? I haven't, but that's the first thing I'm gonna do when I turn drinking-age.

drinking age? nuts to that. that's two years i can't afford to wait.

I can see it now... A bottle of Iron City and a bowl of Oriental Maruchan Ramen.

Priceless.

You know what? I haven't, but that's the first thing I'm gonna do when I turn drinking-age.
Lol, Americans.


But who waits for drinking age? I've been drinking since I was 15 and I turned out... *passes out*

personally, preebs, i'm just amazed that you typed "passes out" while passing out.

I guess the equivalent here would be pot noodle and lager.

Sounds like a lads night in.

Have you not heard? I had two bottles of Zima when I was 5, though technically that's not really alcahol. Hard liquor, anyway.

But really, what's wrong with Iron City? I know you've never had a bottle, but if you did, you'd love it. It's not a beer for the weak.

I had a taste of it quite a long time ago. It's real beer, man.

Is it american beer?

Because that by virtue of the fact is american beer, is not beer, its gnats urine.

I was LOL'ing at the late drinking age in the US. :p Never tasted Iron City. I drink San Miguel, Crown or Corona if I have a choice. I like my beer dryyyyyyy.

Iron City is like the Earl Grey of beers. Once you drink it, you see that Miller, Coors, and all those other shit beers really do taste like horse piss.

Iron City's not a Craft Beer, by any means. It's a "Man's Beer". Of course, what else would you expect? It comes from the Steel City, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I laugh at our drinking age, and curse it at the same time. We've got too many religious nuts making our laws...

Why should you be able to drink at all?

a) You are underage

b) you are on the public dole.

drinking is a luxury, not a right.

Wonderful. Somebody crashing a fun, light-hearted topic! Oh, this never happens on Internet Forums...

If they can afford the alcohol, then according to the US idea of a free market society, then they should be able to buy and drink as much as they like, so long as in the process they break no law which actively infringes on anybodys rights.

hey, what the poop! a guy attempts to go to sleep for like, maybe 45 minutes, and look what happens. beer and ramen. not drinking age. not religion. not human vegetables or the fucking pope. gah.

Meh. I'm just waiting on the General page, refreshing it constantly. Life truly is boring early in the morning.

Oh well, at least I've got my music.

Except if they are affording that alcohol with public money. As in the govt gives them money and they choose to spend it on alcohol.

I think it is reasonable that you have to give up some rights when you live on the public tit.

And, as we all know, personal opinions are law :rolleyes:.

I have to say, I don't know of any american teenagers who are living at the behest of the public, could you please give me some examples?

Me, currently. It's called Welfare.

Sorry Potaria, I didn't know.

Even people on welfare have a right to some pleasures in life.

Or would you rather them live like quakers?

Isanyonehome would, that's for sure.

Living on Welfare shouldn't make people available for a decrease in civil liberties. That's just fucking ridiculous.

I agree 100%.

And, as we all know, personal opinions are law :rolleyes:.

You are living off of MY money/sweat. Why shouldnt I have an opinion about that ?

Do you not understand that the money you live on(and complain about) comes from the effort of others?

You are basically stealing from me(legally) and you wonder why I have issues with your lifestyle when it comes to drinking?

My only compensation is that ppeople of your ilk will never be in competition with either mine or my my childrens lives. You are beaten, brokem and disillusioned since almost birth.

Where Americans are taught that everyone can be a winner, you believe that everyone can only get what social services gives. I almost feel sorry for you, except my disgust overides it.

Vietnam boat people came to this country, didnt speak a lick of english and in 1 generation they owned their own businesses. My parents came here with nothing(dad grew up DIRT poor in India, poor in india in no way compares to "poor" in the USA. I was picked on growing up cause I was the only non white kid in school(When I was 4 or 5 a bunch of kids beat me so bad and held me down(one guy on my chest) that I had to be taken to the hospital to be resucited..no charges filed)(we were staying in hospital apartments, parents being doctors and all). The Chinese and the Irish were abused non stop. But they all(me included) made a life for ourselves.

And now the pathetic welfare recipients sound like you.. O, my life is so difficult, the govt doesnt give me enough to stay fat. Im 17, dont expect me to work. Do you have any idea how pathetic you are?

As do I. And that is why I agree.

...Wait a minute...

...Okay, I'm definitely bored out of my mind. I'm so bored that I'm purposely not thinking straight!

This is why we have anger management classes, kids.

Yeah, which makes me sick. And the funny thing is that he posted that and logged off. I guess he didn't want to get into an elongated argument, which he would lose.

The thing that always puzzles me about americans, is that they always realise how hard it is to go up in society, but they never think how easy it is to drop back down.

Over there, all it takes is for a member of your family to get really sick relatively quickly, and you get hammered on medical bills, before you know it you've got no money etc etc...

This is why we have anger management classes, kids.

Anger management? Kids? Why arent you working now? You have time to be on the internet , why dont you use the time productively? Sell t shirts. Offer back rubs? Wash cars? Do whatever it takes to have respect for yourself.

Its Sunday, the day after my birthday. Do You know where I am? I am in my office. Doing work.

And people like you and Preeambles are talking about anger management and sense of community? Where is your contribution to the community? Sitting at home and using food stamps to buy pork rinds doesnt exactly qualify. what exactly have you done to make the community around you better? You are a parasite, and an ungrateful one at that.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah, because posting on a message board is work. :rolleyes:
I'm a full time student smartypants. I'm on my easter break. I also work part time. I don't get any benefits because my parents half support me.

I'm going to be a doctor. I sure as hell am going to contribute to the community. More than someone who sits in an office stoking his ego.

have you had the two simultaneously? i have not but that's about to change. i'm jsut seeing if i can't find out how it is before hand.

I see you mean instant ramen, and not the real stuff. ;) They're really truely worlds apart. Beer goes nice with the real stuff (and a side of gyoza), but not so good with instant.

(Glad I live in a place where it's easy to get the real stuff. :D)

Yeah, which makes me sick. And the funny thing is that he posted that and logged off. I guess he didn't want to get into an elongated argument, which he would lose.

a) I was writing a response so I have no idea about what you mean about logging off

b) I have worked on wall street for the past 12 years. Do you honestly think that a 17 year old welfare queen could possibly make an argument that I would be scared of? Even if I had worked in wall mart for the past 12 years, what insight could some monkey who buys penny stocks of diamond mining companies offer? You have done nothing with your life, and from what it sounds you will do nothing; except complain about how the govt doesnt give you enough.

Do yo know what I did when times were tough? I lived off savings and moved back to my parents house because I refused to collect unemployment. I would have done it if I had to, but I had other options so I used them first. I know people that had cash jobs during the time and still colleced unemployment(guess they are smart, I think they are assholes).

Do you have any idea what it is to have self respect? Does the concept even occur in your mind? Even if you worked part time that would be worthy of respect. But you wont do that will you. Another leechon society. Well fine. While I am living a good life you can sit at home and bitch about how the govt isnt providing enough. Anything to keep the masses content I suppose.

Stoking my ego??? People sitting in their office generate the tax dollar to support people like potaria. Where do you think the govt gets its revenue from, god?


Going to be a doctor.. well, good for you. Let me know how you feel about some one living off your effort while they are not willing to put any in.

1: Well, then it was a misunderstanding.

2: I can't work. That's the simple truth. If I did, I'd lose food stamp benefits, and the only jobs I can get are ones that would only allow a third as much food as I can currently get with said food stamps. Plus, I have to help take care of my dad, though less than I did a few years ago. And did it ever occur to you that my dad was the one who bought the stock?

3: I really don't get this. Not one bit. You seem to be the self-absorbed type, so I'll just leave you alone for now.

No dumbass but figuring out straddles for sugar mills given that they cannot accept delevery given RBI rules is work. Google straddles, RBI if you have no idea what I am talking about. You might also conider googling butterflies.

Most people on welfare need help legit. You seem to believe all that bullshit bandied about on current affairs shows about "dole bludgers" and welfare cheats. Read what Potaria said, I understand the position he's in, since part time jobs that pay enough to support you ARE hard to come by. At least here if you earn below a certain threshhold you're eligible for benefits. My aunt has had to use them for a while, and she does work hard, she was just between jobs.

You seem to have no compassion. I don't mind my tax dollars helping to support people who need it.

oy. ok. as the creator of this thread, and being in a genreally shitty mood in the first place, i feel entitled to say this.
EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP
wew. that felt good. hey. this isn't the forum for this debate (i mean forum as it's classical definition, not internet forum) create a new thread to debatesocial welfare policies. i realize it's a damn sight more important than the mixture of corona and chicken sapporo ichiban, but i don't really give much of a fuck. i'm in a shitty mood, as i said.
on an aside, the mixture actually works quite well. the tastes compliment each other nicely.
EDIT: by "everyone" i really just meant isanyonehome. he's certainlly the loudest, and most unapologetically bitchy of anyone here.

I could go for something... A Coke, perhaps?

Edit: There's a bottle-o (love the Aussie slang) dow nthe road, but it's expensive, since it's in a convenience store.

12:21 here.. already had 2, debating having one more before I mow the back garden though.

I also have no problem with my tax dollars helping those that need it


The problem lies in the definition of those who need it.

Potaria feel she needs it. I do not. Her father receives disability, and it isnt enough to support him and her and her brother. on the other hand, she is 17 and her brother is 20. she weighs 150+ and her brother weighs 200+ and her father also.(Maybe I got it wrong with their weights). My pint being that no one is suffering. There are 2 healthy young people crying about how bad the system is. They dont want to work, the 3 of them eat 2-3 time what me(my brother and mom and pop) eat. and yet they are crying poverty


My father is in the top 1/2 of 1% tax bracket. Between him, my mom, my bro and me we dont have the combined weight of the 3 people in potaria's family. Im short, but my bro and my dad are over 6 feet. What right does she to complain that she doesnt get enough food? My dad is a surgeon and my mom is peadtrician(sp), are you gonna tell me that they are starving their family? The four of ours combined weight is much less than theirs. Maybe they are just fat overeating people.

maybe it just is that potaria is a lazy worthless person. I know thats not PC, but maybe its the truth. All she does is complain about how the world/govt ripped her off. She has nevr pointed out what she has contributed other than being born. If she had this attitude in a country like india she would have been smacked upside her ass so often she would have kept her mouth shut.

so , in your opinion, people have no say in how other people(you) steal their money/effort; they cannot even respond to various claims people like yourself make.

So, unless you are completely unproductive and living off other peoples effort a person has no right to voice their opinion.

thank you! damn!
and potaria, don't use "tit" in the negative. Boobs are soft and squishy and tasty and wonderful, and i will thank you not to tarnish their good name in my presence again. :D

By the gods, this guy certainly has the right name.....

We have a saying here, "The lights were on, but no-one was at home"
Which means that he sees he speaks, but his brains have left the building.

I have worked long and hard all my life, I have also been a student and as far as I am concerned if someone needs help to live then they can have anything they damn well want fro my tax!

So Isanyonehome, you're sat at WORK ranting at us........
Why don't you bugger off and earn a few more dollars to give as a tax donation so your country can buy more arms?
Let the other more compassionate of your country help the people of your country.


Meanwhile, back on topic.
I'm sorry folks, but having tasted american beer quite often, it is just awful!
If I'm gonna drink bear it has to be a good strong real ale.

(And someone please tell this ignorant brit what Ramen is? )

have you had the two simultaneously? i have not but that's about to change. i'm jsut seeing if i can't find out how it is before hand.

In which order? :)

I don't think it's good idea myself. :p

ramen is a product of the mysterious orient. crafted by the magical and wonderous peoples of ASIA, it is noodles, dried and packed tightly together, and a powdered soup base. you add it to boiling water until the noodles cook, then lower the temp and add the base. you can also add extraneous foodstuffs in there, like eggs or meat. it's taste-o-riffic.

In which order? :)

I don't think it's good idea myself. :p
you would be surprised. corona and chicken sapporo ichiban. do it. now.

Ah right, so the camparrison to our Pot noodle is accurate.
Well in that case beer and pot noodle , nothing really special in my opinion......
Sorry........

if i seem a little overexcited about it, it's probably because i had such low hopes for it

you would be surprised. corona and chicken sapporo ichiban. do it. now.

I eat the "Ramen"-style noodles a lot (I'm Asian).
As for beer, it make me ill (wine and spirits are fine).

fair enough.

Sorry, don't want to spoil your fun, try it....you may realsie that it is the best thing you have ever had in your whole life!?

We (as a family) eat lots of noodles love them! :p

i already tried it. i expected failure. i didn't get failure. i got mild success. nothing to write home about.

Cooking with beer isn't a new idea. The English do it all the time (as well as get drunk cooking). :)

no, it wasn't anything that exciting. it was possibly the dullest thing i've ever started a thread about. i made ramen. i ate it. i had beer to drink whilst eating it. just that simple.

LOL....
Well it may have been a dull start but it hasn't carried on that way!

And yes beer is used a lot in British traditional cooking, it stems from the medieveal times when it was safer to drink ale than it was to drink beer. There were several strengths to the beer and it was drunk morning noon and night.

maybe it just is that potaria is a lazy worthless person. You are a parasite, and an ungrateful one at that.And now the pathetic welfare recipients sound like you..

Ah well.......

while one certainly hates to revel in anothers misfortune, be it deserved or no, thank you frisbee. it should improve the mood around here dramatically.

I think you'll find that in countries where beer is drunk asa matter of course, the beer will be much weaker than in other countries.
Australian beer isn't all that wonderful, infact I would call it lager as most of it is chemically brewed, (as it is in most Europian countries).

Having said that though, I am not adverse to drinking them on occasion and I much prefer drinking 'local' brews with 'local' foods as they are made to compliment each other.

and things don't change much. :)

yeah, but that ain't the only reason, have you seen half of our women?
but anyway, beer and ramen? sounds ok, but i'd rather just have a couple of pints of guiness, no need to eat anything in order to have some of that stuff.
admittedly, i haven't actually tried ramen, just guiness rocks

how's that for a first post ever?

I have to admit that I am not a lover of Guinness and it's ilk, though my partner loves it, (I just steal the froth off the top) ;)

totally agree, who needs drinking ages? Evantopia does not have drinking ages.

LOL and I expect you two are absolutely fanbloodytasticly handsome? ;)

dear god no, but hey, any excuse for another beer with the mates, beer runs through aussi blood, just like vodka runs through soviet, or rather, ex-soviet blood.
hmm, interesting combo, beer and vodka in my blood, oh well, what ever gets me drunk and hopefully happy to go with it.

speaking of drinking ages, who needs those? i've got booze in my blood, i've been drinking since i was eight days old (the day of my bris) and since then, i've always had some of the stuff whenever i felt like it. that's what i love about judaism, drinking is actually encouraged on some days
<goes to fetch some beer>

i'm gonna stop drinking for now. i don't need to be drunk at 8:30 am on an empty stomach.

Of course! :)

Drinking laws are there for the stupid, who have to be covered.
I started drinking at the age of 15 and was never challenged (until I was out drinking on my 21st birthday strangely enough.)

But your stomach is full of ramen! :p

that was hours ago you silly aussie. plue, it wasn't that much ramen.

Yay for purim! which recently passed although I don't actually remember what happened... :D

I always make a point of including my daughter when we are drinking, she has a taste or a wateres down version.
My partner and myself are sensible drinkers and we want her to see that there is nothing wrong with alcahol, just the way it is used.

i'm gonna stop drinking for now. i don't need to be drunk at 8:30 am on an empty stomach.

an interesting point, if i was in that situation on tuesday i'd be screwed, ever try putting a +/- 12v power supply together while drunk? i haven't, but i doubt i'd be able to do it, i'd probably end up with exploding capacitors, diodes and voltage regulators, which would only be fun for the first hour of the three i get to do it

ah purim, we sure showed those persians who was boss eh? not that i went to the synagogue for it, i spent the evening watching videos and eating pizza with friends, shows what uni is doing to my religious self, but hey, friends may even be more important than religion, hopefully the rabbi can't see the post and doesn't know who i am, lol

I stayed in till about 9 for purim, needless to say, everything after 9:30 is a complete blur.

On the topic of ramen: Nong Shim is the best brand.

You should cook the noodles IN the beer ;)
