Home to the best reds on earth and some excellent local cheesmakers. <BR/><BR/>I actually do have a friend in Cheeses. They make up a large part of my diet - along with some excellent fruit. <BR/><BR/>Bad fruit is defined simply by how long it sits in the fruit basket before the children refuse to eat it.

The fruit isn't inherently bad. Some people, animals and insects would find it quite good. It's their tastes that are bad. God obviously blessed some with bad taste. Now if they don't know their taste is bad, and they're happy, is it really bad? Hmmmm<BR/>In fact, it might serve the greater good. If people are quite happy consuming crap, then the demand remains low for the really good stuff and we benefit. Isn't god great? ;)PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36453833.post-84222161947969194142007-11-16T14:19:00.000-05:002007-11-16T14:19:00.000-05:00Exterminator: White chocolate sucks.

How long it takes to reach climax, or, once reached, how long the climax lasts? <BR/><BR/>My first instinct is to say "Who cares? I'm having an orgasm!" <BR/><BR/>My second thought goes more towards scientific method. How exactly I would time it? With a stop watch in my hand? Once I orgasm will I have enough control to stop the clock at the right time or will I just start getting into gyrations, spaz out and jam the switch before I'm completely, uh, done? I suppose I could ask my fiance to time me, but she finds the atheist blogging thing difficult enough to understand as it is. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure she'll get how or why this is relevant.<BR/><BR/>As for fruit, I think "good" or "bad" in that context means preference as opposed to a moral or value judgement, but I still think you have a point. I might prefer a Malbec and you Rioja, but we'd both agree that a bad Malbec is bad. Nobody likes crap, right? So, why did God make crappy stuff?Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578877429793660591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36453833.post-46422734467993810662007-11-16T14:01:00.000-05:002007-11-16T14:01:00.000-05:00A.:You said, This is by far the most whacked out, ...<B>A.</B>:<BR/>You said, <I>This is by far the most whacked out, hysterically funny comment section I have ever come across in my life.</I><BR/>I hope we all take that as a supreme compliment.

And I must admit that I am with PhillyChief on the friends and Bud issue. <BR/><BR/>Ex: I agree that, in the end, "the ultimate question of faith is inarguable." As I said, my argument for God based on reason took me only so far--and in the end I needed to make a philisophical choice--admittedly one that was ultimately based on my own subjective sense that God operates in the world. <BR/><BR/>I guess that the difference between a liberal Christian like me and an atheist like you, is, in the end, this subjective and philisophical choice. I sense the presence of God in the world. You don't. I may be deluded. Or you may be blind. But in the end, no amount of arguing over this point is likely to change your view or mine.<BR/><BR/>What is far more interesting to me is all the discussion that come until we reach this point of departure.

Different things for different times. Same for Bass vs Smithwicks, although I think the parings would probably work better switched. The fuller taste of the Smithwicks and subtle sweet aftertaste might pair better with bbq and the more subtle Bass or perhaps a lighter brew like a Pilsner Urquel or Stella would go better for the roast pork.<BR/><BR/>Speaking though of bad names, anyone who would either choose to drink Bud or not act to stop a friend from doing so should be ashamed. It should be our responsibility to raise John's awareness of quality brewing. So as not to give too much of a shock, perhaps something not to bold, like perhaps a Becks? I'm cool with the blts though, but why not upscale a tad and go for the club? Just a thought.PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.com
