Trump gives a subtle warning to retail stores: 'Say Merry Christmas'

[resister]

Not these days...

There are those(muslim extremist) that still will

[Common Sense]

yes

I can eat a good green curry every day...

[Standing Wolf]

Actually, you may be hard pressed to find any meat at all as practising Hindus tend to be vegetarian, but if you enjoy curries, there should be some tasty ones to try along with all manner of samosas. Indian food is spicy, so ask for mild if your palate is not accustomed to 'hot' foods.

I've been living in Arizona for 23 years, so I have become accustomed to a certain amount of hot spiciness...though I draw the line at things that hurt to eat.

I was just remembering that line from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, where they're discussing food for the big party they're going to have in celebration of the daughter's engagement. The girl tells her aunt that her fiancé is a vegetarian - then she has to explain what that means. So finally the aunt says, "Okay, we won't have meat. I'll make lamb."

[resister]

That's true...how do you prepare turtle?

Gotta take a hatchet and split the shell then gut and butcher.I just put it in a crock pot till it falls off the bone 6 or so hours later.Then add to whatever suits your fancy.They have a strange mix of white and dark meat and a yellow greasy fat.I did not want to kill it but it was throat hooked and I would rather harvest than cut the line and it die slow.I will try to avoid catching them.It was ugly and sad

Me too. I also like red duck curry.

[Standing Wolf]

At least they don't want to kill you if you don't convert

Yes, well there is that. Considering how many attacks by Muslim extremists target and kill other Muslims, even being a true believer apparently isn't a very good defense.

Vegetarian, old indian word for bad hunter!!!Had some raw oysters the other day with nuclear sauce...YUmm.Oysters are easy to hunt, if you cant find them at publix, head for the coast.Its hard for them to runBe discriminating though...iffy ones can make ya sicker than tha flu(make you wish for the flu, in fact)

[Safety]

Yes, I'm sure.

Do you think there is a war on Christmas and/or Christians in America?

They can find a war on Christmas and Christians, but will argue you to death about a war on anything not pertaining to the majority, seems like SSDD to me.

[Cletus]

I'm not surprised that you can't support your assertion with evidence or an empty rhetorical argument. You stating something does not make it true. Run along.

That is pretty good. I was just thinking the same thing about you.

[Cletus]

It really depends upon who you are. If you basically respect other people's sensibilities, you won't go out of your way to be offensive. If on the other hand you only really care about your own sensibilities, then being PC is a major sacrifice. Then not calling little people 'midgets', or not calling women 'broads' or minorities by one slur or another is asking too much.

That is a good example...


mid·get
ˈmijit/
nounoffensive

noun: midget; plural noun: midgets
1.
an extremely or unusually small person.

synonyms:

small person, dwarf, homunculus, Lilliputian, halfling, gnome, pygmy; informalshrimp "the inhabitants must have been midgets"

How is that offensive? I mean, really... "Little People"? If I was a midget and you called me a "Little Person, I would probably kick you right in the kneecap. CHILDREN are "Little People". How much more offensive can you get? It is condescending and insulting.

Let's do the "Indian" thing. You do realize that most Indians refer to themselves as "Indians", do you not? The whole "Native American" thing is some Russel Means, AIM ($#@!s In Moccasins) nonsense, propagated by the mainstream media. I live in Indian Country. The casique (religious leader) of my local pueblo and I have been friends for over 20 years. I remember when I was first introduced to him, the very first thing he said to me was "Do you talk Indian?", wanting to know if I spoke Tiwa. One of my favorite stories involves a stupid, liberal, politically correct Anglo woman who chastised me for referring to another old friend as "Chief" when I ran into him in a grocery store. She berated me up one side and down the other for calling that "fine Native American man" Chief. I waited until she got done venting her Spleen and explained to her (quite politely for me) that she was a idiot and "Chief" was not a nickname, it was his title. The guy I was talking to was Chief of the Tribal Police Department.

That is the sort of thing that makes people want to take the PC police and shove their heads up their asses. If some moron came up to me and chastised me for referring to a midget as a midget instead of a "Little Person", I would have him in tears is very short order.

People are tired of it. Much of Trump's popularity springs from that fact. Folks are sick of having to walk on eggshells around every little niche group because someone (generally someone outside that group) has decided that common use language is suddenly offensive.
