Cher, the closest you've ever been to Oxford or Cambridge was puking in a gutter outside one of the pubs in town.
Here's a hint, gormless: living in the same country as Oxford and Cambridge don't make you an Oxbridgian. Any more'n living in the same country as Harvard makes me a Harvardian (I went to Georgetown).
Why? Just to piss people off with your secular purity?

Yep, with bacon-wrapped. . . well, everything.
Where you been while we were kicking Blackleaf around like a soccer ball?
Where were you doing it?
Well troops in the field are going to eat.
Pretty much anyplace he shows his bad teeth and lack of a chin.
In this case, earlier on this thread.
You were late, boss. It's OK, we had some fun with him.
Meh, don't bother. Just the usual "England's great, and all Muzzies, brownies, women, Americans, and Canadians suck!"
Ain't like he has a real broad repertoire.
Feel free to correct me, but I believe that CDNBear's position is that there is nothing wrong with forcing US troops to observe Ramadan at least in public, but that the is also nothing wrong with forcing Canadians to observe Christian Holy Days either. I may disagree with him on both points, but one point we both seem to have in common iat leasy on this matter is consistency and not a double standard.
That's right, son. Now get in the church! *prods Machjo with automatic rifle* Move it, meat!
Geezus, ffs!
You couldn't be anymore wrong if you started talking about why my mohawk isn't a butterfly.
I know eh.
I weep for the future.
That was mildly funny, until " Move it, meat!", then I lol'd for real, lol.
I didn't and now I'm LMAO'ing!!!!
No, I don't have a problem with our forces observing the customs of the lands they find themselves, within reason.
Just like I don't mind people coming here and observing our customs, whether they like them or not.
Do you have a problem with good PR? Or are you operating under the illusion that soldiers' "rights" aren't rather strictly limited as a matter of course in their service?
Yeah, heaven forfend we take in a kid, cut off all his hair, dress him like everybody else, pick his job for him, send him where we want him without consulting him, and then interfere with his "rights!"
That's what I'd said. It sounds like the conversation is going like this: "You like green, don't you."
"No I don't, You idiot. I like that colour between yellow and blue."
They aren't being forced to observe Ramadan. They're being forced to obey local laws and customs.
Why is that so hard to grasp?
