I like their Reuben sandwich. Yes, I know that it is not a true Reuben. But I like it.

Now I want a Jamocha shake.

What IS a true Reuben? The ingredients look right (although I'd get it without the dressing because ew).

--- Quote from: swapna on 28 Jul 2015, 04:34 ---None of the women were coerced, they acted very much out of their own initiative, and what they do in their private lives and who they share their bed with is none of their bosses business.

How far should respect for another person's personal autonomy make you keep quiet when they're doing something you think ill-advised? This topic has come up before:

--- Quote from: nicoley on 20 Sep 2010, 00:48 ---I get that Dora is trying to look out for Hanners given Sven's past... but I don't like how she says "... but you can go." acting like it's actually her place to give permission. They are all adults and hanners can do whatever the hell she wants, screw Dora's bs paranoia. While I may be biased because of my long time dislike of Dora, it would annoy me if any other cast member acted this way too.

Hmmm... Personal autonomy is all well and good, but let us try a thought experiment. Imagine your friend, who had never driven a car before in her life, was proposing to take a Shelby Cobra* at high speed down a wet mountain road. Would you really just think "Meh... She's a grown-up, entitled to make her own decisions," and wave her off? Or try to talk her out of it?
Sven's background is that of a serial philanderer, with serious honesty, personal accountability, and self-control problems, who is (as far as Dora knows) unreformed, and who's shown that he's willing to seriously hurt her friends. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Friends care enough about friends to try to talk them out of dangerous behaviour.

Yeah, worrying for Hanners I can understand. I can even understand Dora getting over-protective and overstepping her boundaries there, even though I can't support it. But Raven? Raven is the girl who (according to your analogy) does half-legal high-speed-races with a modified car with rockets on it, and Dora forbids her to go out with Sven (and the other way around). And with Faye she was furious, as if this was somehow a personal betrayal - it was definitely not because she was worried.

It's Arby's version of a Reuben. I am certain that there are purists out there who would tell me what a proper Reuben sandwich should be like. Sadly, in my part of the USA, there are no such places that serve one. I only have the large chain eateries like Arby's or Penn Station.
