It only fuels the idiotic bullshit factory you want to keep running.

You want to argue with our fellow Bay Watchers? Just because they happen to live in Britain?

That's doing the same exact bullshit that the "British>America>Badnews>Horseshit statistic>bullshit>MEDIABULLSHIT>Wotwot" crap is mostly amounting to. Go somewhere else for this, because as long as we "Insertpatriotism>reference previous conflicts>more patriotism>generalization poking right back at 'em" this shit will keep happening.

And as a note to both parties.

If it keeps happening then I'm formally petitioning Toady to outright ban inthread discussions that basically surmount to this same matter.

Oh I don't know WD, being neither Brit nor Yank, I'm finding this whole discussion highly amusing. ;)

I never would have guessed a discussion on kettles could have caused so much topical ragequit.

>>> Uses a kettle, finds them hella more convenient than the microwave. Plus, when a kettle's done it won't beep at me every 20 seconds until I come open the door.

Worker, I'm pretty sure he's either being sarcastic or extremely stupid on purpose to aggravate you.

I'm pretty sure I don't really understand where 'Drone is coming from with this. I'm not "Baiting" anyone. Not as far as I can see...

But I'll return to this tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be able to see what you mean.

Well this is gonna get ugly. Worky IS right though, the "My country is better than yours" shit needs to stop. Hell the Religious arguments too.

We need to realize that the perspective of someone from inside a country/religion is different than the view from the outside, and that as long as people bring pre-conceptions to the thread, bad shit will happen.

Also, does anyone else here have a spoknork?

It's a spork, but the end of the handle has a knife blade on one side.

...That sounds exceedingly dangerous.  And rather messy, since to use the knife blade you'd have to hold onto the spork head.  What madman conjured up this one-piece flatware set?

I always called 'em sporkifes, but I think I like spocknork, if it is a bit less intuitive.

And yes, I have 2.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ninja'd by Aqizzarr: It's not a sharp blade, just made of plastic and heavily serrated (so you use it almost like a saw). And the handle provides ample space. These aren't metal, just high-quality (or possibly low quality) plastic objects. Of course, it is most certainly too dangerous for public schools. ;)

Mine is metal. Aqizzar, the safe part of the handle is still about the same length, with a knife blade tacked on.Not just a normal spoon carved into a shiv handle.

Yeah, but when we buy Kiwi Fruits they come with it. So you don't need to bring a spoon.

They might be just spoon with a knife on the end (so you can cut it in half), but I haven't had one in a while.
