Epic Meal Time - Not Safe For Vegetarians
Nodaisho:
I dunno man. I see accusations of racism as a pretty serious thing. If someone makes them, they should really be ready to back them up.
Meat for your consideration: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/bacon_beef_rolls.html
I really want to make that some time.

--- Quote from: Nodaisho on 11 Jan 2011, 20:07 ---I understand that there is a lot of racism in Australia, that doesn't even have the decency to be recognized as a problem by the general populace (unlike in the US). On the other hand, that's no excuse for you making racism accusations and then getting defensive when people point out what you missed.

Wow! I do you the courtesy of acknowledging your point that maybe he was referring to the Vietnam War, rather than simply picking on the country and its people, and that is your response? That I'm being defensive about what I missed? I never said I agreed with your interpretation, you know. Assuming he was referring to a war that ended thirty-five years ago, rather than to the country of today, just why exactly should I have picked up on that? It's not like Vietnam vanished after the fall of Saigon. Or is that the point? That to the guys who made the video, the only thing of consequence about the country is the Vietnam War, so that to mention the country's name automatically refers to the war and nothing else?
--- Quote ---When someone makes reference to killing babies and China, maybe you should get off of your high horse and remember that the PRC currently has a law that leads to illegal babies being killed, and that it isn't racist to point out how fucked up that is.

Yeah, of course I should totally shut up because the existence of that law (which I abhor incidentally, for all the good that does) completely disqualifies me from recognising when Asian countries are simply being used as metaphors for evil by some jerk in a joke video on the internet. There's no way he was making any serious point about the One Child Policy. Still, you didn't call me over-sensitive or tone-deaf, so thank you for that. :-)
Nodaisho:
Rabbit isn't an unusual food at all, though. That doesn't really make sense.
Incidentally, rabbit isn't bad. Tough except for the back meat, but not bad. Good diet food due to the low amount of fat to protein.
Ballard:
Based on Akima's last reply it's quite clear that she isn't looking to have her mind changed on this topic.
This thread is now about BACON BACON BACON BACON CANADIAN BACON (again).

Those of us living in the Commonwealth just call it Bacon.
