Coffee gives me the runs.

Tea is a gentleman's drink and a more refined alternative to coffee.

Tea is a drink for gays and Brits.

[paypaltoegold1]

One might argue that both Gays and Brits are sick.

I just said that.

[jeaccatty]

the coffebagger would teabag me............

Not that I disapprove of your lifestyle, but exactly how will she teabag you?

[cmruloah]

you foreigners wont understand the appeal of tea as all I am offered abroad are fancy fruity teas.

You need a good cup of builders tea, 'pg tips' (a kind of 'black tea') if you really want to know what its all about. You also need someone who knows how to brew a good cuppa. These are both essential ingredients

[artenotreah]

Twinings is gay. They even had high profile homosexual, stephen fry, advertise it. And here i thought it was us brits who had the reputation as shirt lifters. You suprise me drake

If you want a mans drink then its black tea with milk, and sugar to taste. However I cant stress enough to importance of correct brewing technique

Stephen Fry

He's on American TV, which automatically makes him more worthy of respect than 99.99% of the losers in your shitty country.

Earl Grey with a slice of lemon.

[CVEGK7mV]

Perhaps you can return the favour and point me in the direction of a similarly cerebral and amusing show from the colonies


You'd have to ask one of the Canadians about the TV shows in the British colonies.

One look at you and they figured you wanted a fruity teabag.

[Loonerisav]

Tea should be taken black.


You animal...

Rush is not really religious. I think the divide in the teabaggers is the same as the divide in the republican party, economic liberals dividing from social authoritarians. Alot of social authoritarians are trying to get their hands on this one-sided (economic) party. As far as I can see, it has fractured like the GOP. They now offer General Feel-Good Tax Reform, with Flat or Fair(tm) options, as opposed to blatently supporting HR25. That's largely a political compromise to get some thumpers. Just like the democrats who cannot stand on a fundamentally contradictory platform (liberal social and authoritarian economic), they are fragmented. Now is the time for a third party... How about Green and Libertarian; if we can get 5% in a general, we get equal TV debate time for the next election.

The network I'm using blocks the only website that defines social authoritarian. Please speak English if you can.

[VistaULTIMATEdownloadaPro]

Authoritarian = setting rules and regulations (government control).
Liberal = easing rules and regulations (government control).

Democrats want liberal social policy but government control (authoritarian) economic policy. Republicans want authoritarian social policy (anti-gay, pro-death-penalty, anti-legalization) and liberal economic policy (less regulations and presence of government in the economy).

Class dismissed (see also: edits above).

I'd prefer to get rid of the contradictions and go authoritative and socialist.

Authoritative social and economic is called: fascist, communist, theocratic, monarchist and/or a few other things. Take your pick.

[clubcughSheet]

I'll go with communist.

[autoloanexpert]

Or theocracy.

[TouccuraLar]

Social darwinism is social elitism but not necessarily social authoritarianism. I'm better than everyone else and discriminate (intellectually), but all perspectives (even tard) are needed to make our government system resilient. I don't believe that telling people what to do is the answer to a prosperous system.

Even a benevolent dictator sucks, because with advisors he still is not omniscient. Democracy and (truly) free markets (with informed consumers) are omniscient.

I think the way Democracy is set up today we loose so much information on the way up that it only works significantly better than classical Oligarchy in nearly perfect conditions. One might argue that all democracies devolve into oligarchies over time just as all dictatorships do.


And this isn't even touching the fact that not only is the rational voter is a myth, but so is the rational consumer is not as usefull an abstaraction as we once belived. We need something better. Even a system such as Futarchy as proposed by Robin Hanson would probably ouperform Democracy.

[Scfdglkn]

And because it's fair and best.

[Crundaangerge]

Meritocracy is BS because all tests are biased.

You want your merit, earn it above and beyond or tough. You can get excessive respect and influence. Let's not pretend that effort, discipline, patience and persistence are worthless; we got plenty of meritocracy around here.

Meritocracy for basic human rights, as opposed to paychecks and personal/social influence, is stupid; it debases us.
