    Uh, Wolf, because I'm eligible for those passports, I can already go anywhere in the EU I want. Passports would just make the process simpler.

    I know. I just realised. But I couldn't be bothered changing it.

    Jar, you really think Americans and socialites are the only ones who spend money for good food? I mean, the French invented gourmet. I'm not rich in the least and am no socialite, and neither are my friends, most of whom, at htis point are European or Asian, and we all save money to go eat really well once a month. RPJunkie, help me on the good food is good argument. Food is an art, and as much pleasure can be derived from it as any other art. Just like any other art, you have to know, either in your heart, gut or mind, what to look for to appreciate it. the inability to appreciate good art is pretty much the definition of uncultured.

    Best food is cooked at home. Everyone knows that. Oh, and I love food.

    No, that was my rebuttal to your assertion I don't have class - a similarly ignorant and overly broad generalisation. I was also going for the 'image is everything' stereotype. I guess it was just too high above your head for you to see :D.

    My brother would also probably agree with you in this argument, and label me a cheapskate. Then again, he thinks it's perfectly acceptable to spend $50 on a shirt because it has a label on it, whereas a similar shirt of similar quality (only without the label) costs $20 or less, and I'd prefer to buy it. I just see it (the $50 shirt) as an unnecessary expense. The 20c label obviously adds a whole new level of quality into the equation...

    Why? Because the 'cultured' define it that way? That's basically the same tenet for every other bias in the world - if you don't think like me, you're inferior! Art by it's nature is subjective, so your point is doubly stupid.

    HAHAHAHAHA! I love it! One little casual comment, and five people are pissed at me! I made that "Anti-Semetic" remark just to see what kind of response I'd recieve. Actually, all my cousins are Jewish, and they moved from New Jersey to Israel about five years ago. My oldest cousin, Aaron, who is also a good friend, just came back over to visit with his mom in September. His mom is a midwife back in Israel, and she delivered my sister's baby right in my house. It was great. Of course, that was the second home birth, the first being my youngest sister, ninth in my family. Anyway, I also have several very good Jewish friends, and I support Israel to the max in the political arena. I told Aaron to kill a Palestinian for me when he is conscripted next March.

    Oh yeah...why would I visit Israel if I hated Jews?

    Yeah, I thought you were probably joking. But I thought I could sneak in a flame.

    Maybe you wanted to go on some crazed Jewish Slaughter Mission.

    Scouting for the Palestinians. You could also have become anti-Semitic AFTER visiting Israel. I also think that giving them 100% support is a dangerous opinion. They're not exactly infallible are they? Let's not forget that incident in A.D. 33 :).

    In all seriousness, remember that the Palestinians were kicked off their land to make room for the Jews, who then took more later on. I don't see either side as halo wearing angels, and nor does all the blame rest with only one of them.

    Sigurd you're a troll with a smiling face. If your cousin kills one Palestinian I hope some desperate suicide bomber blows his ass right outa' the gaza strip.

    Sea Dog is correct.
    Thus I think that supporting any side wouldn't be a good idea because both sides have legal rights to the land

    Yeah, Sigurd. You've turned from one form of racism to another. If this is a joke like the other one, it's getting tired.

    You're just trying to get back at Sigurd for banning you at TR.

    back to the tipping question... Mr.Pink does make valid points. unfortunately, tipping is necessary for restaurant workers, since the government saw fit to screw them over... did you know there's actually a law that states any restaurant employing less than 30 people does not have to pay them minimum wage so long as it provides free meals? i almost always tip because i've been a waitress, and i depended on that money, but i won't tip lousy service, i only give a couple bucks for regular service, and if it's great i'll give 20-30% of the bill. but that has to be absolutely super service... on my year anniversary with my husband, we went to a fabulous steak house and had the most awesome filet minon i've ever tasted... not to mention a free dessert for our anniversary, and a waitress who checked on us every five minutes... that night we even tipped the cook...

    No I'm not, Matah. We're not all as petty as you.

    The day may never come when Wolf decides not to insult someone in every last post he makes.

    Hey, you flamed me. What did you expect? Me to nod my head in agreement? Why would I be angry? He unbanned me remember? I'm counting myself lucky, and insulting him for banning me would just be completely stupid, ungrateful, assholish. I may be one or two or three of those things to you guys but...eh

    When I said "kill a palestinian" I meant a militant that was trying to kill some civvies, not some random burka'd mother and her two little kids. I'm not racist against Arabs. The Anti-Semitism thing was a casual joke, not "trolling." Neither was the "kill a palestinian" comment, as I just explained. I'm sorry I was so vague and therefore taken as a racist. And Wolf, your mom is a crack-whore.

    Oh no, you insulted my mum. I really give a shit. [retarded voice]Stop being an ass to my mum.[/retarded voice] If that's the best you can come up with, then I pity you. You don't have to intentionally troll to troll, and you did intentionally troll.

    No, I don't think he did, because a troll continues acting like a dickhead to attract flames and controversy.
