Nope. That's insane.

In the States, you're limited to Salt and Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion, Sour Cream and Cheddar, Regular (plain old salted), or BBQ. Then we have the misshapen snack foods, like Cheetos, Fritos, and Doritos, which are still considered chips.

I feel really silly typing that sentence, never realized they all rhymed like that... anyways:



Also, I love raisins. Peanuts, however, need to go die in a ditch.

Why wouldn't it? It's unpopular opinions for God's sake. I'm glad there was a political debate, because this thread is mostly food debate and certain celebrity chick isn't that hot debate.

Men are generally better poets.

Violent protest isn't always a bad thing.

Terrorist is a matter of perspective.

I've never met an interesting person who was anti-Drugs, anti-Drinking or anti-Cigarettes. If you don't do at least one of those three things, you are a boring person. There are few exceptions.

I'd rather talk to a humble man with faith, because most atheists I've met are too damn pretentious about it and think they're above zealotry.

I like Che Guevara not because he's trendy, but because he's interesting in that he didn't pay attention to the means, only the ends. I know all the anti-Che arguments, that he held guns to the head of children in order to get information about someone's whereabouts, and it doesn't phase me, because a perverse part of me admires the monster inside people.

I'm anti-Gandhi. He was a proponent of the racial caste system in India. But mostly because everyone loves him.

Avatar was terrible and anyone who thought it was deep or enlightening should be ashamed.

Hit the nail on the head there.

Also...

Brown sugar > white sugar

The Hills Have Eyes remake totally outdoes Wes Craven's original (which I think is one of the most overrated films ever)

As far as fantasy epics go; One-Hundred Years In Solitude > The Lord Of the Rings

Monster Munch is the best thing Walkers ever came up with

Hell that should be a popular opinion in my mind. All the cool kids in fantasy try and stay away from Tolkien clones. A Song of Ice and Fire, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, Anything by China Mieville and also a lot of stuff by Neil Gaiman come to mind.

I used to read a lot of fantasy back in the day, and I was a huge Tolkien fan. Robert Jordan and Raymond E. Feist (sp?) were other favourites of mine. And then I read One-Hundred Years

Agreed about Song Of Ice and Fire, although I only ever did get round to finishing Game Of Thrones from that series though.

I actually really like Feist, though I'm undecided about Jordan. I couldn't finish the first book in WoT though, so maybe that doesn't auger well. Also A Song of Ice and Fire is definitely worth continuing, though don't be surprised if you have to wait years like the rest of us for the series to be finished. I feel bad for the fans who heard about it from when it first came out.

You just did a pretty good job in both cases of describing people behaving in a self-serving fashion, which basically supports what I was saying. So... thanks.

Everybody in the world has reasons for behaving selfishly, that doesn't make it any less selfish to do so.

Salt and Vinegars disgusting, as are Burger Rings and Cheddar chips. Not too long ago we had Mince Pie flavoured chips here in Nz, as well as onion dip flavoured. I really dont want to know what goes into the making of those...

Best flavours are Sour Cream and Chives, and if we get fancy, Lime and Coriander



Yuck.
