What’s your most controversial opinion?

I still remember the time when jaF was one of the people that you followed around. You often did your petty, playground, nasty name calling on him. Now there is an opportunity to use somebody else’s comment about him to further antagonise another person, you see him as an ok person who doesn’t talk drivel.

If bogey bothers you that much, put him on ignore. Nobody says you have to like him or read his shenanigans. That is your choice. As you are always telling others, everybody has the right to post how they want and to not let little things become a problem for them.

Maybe it is time your balls dropped and you manned up and admitted that you will never be as intelligent, charming, sophisticated, funny and as well liked as bogey. Some people have it and unfortunately some don’t 🤷‍♀️
amber - TY for the words but had you not posted this, I wouldn't have known. I've had him on ignore for years. He never posted anything of value to me here, so don't waste your energy on him on my account. He doesn't know me or anything about me. He needs attention and responding to him is feeding the beast.
 
My take on the "Until it's no men, it's all men" isn't that all men are rapists but that women need to be potentially wary of all men because there isn't a halo that appears over the good ones. Men who make the argument that they are "one of the good ones" seen to think that women should be able to know this just by looking at them when there are plenty who will wear the mask of "one of the good ones" to get closer to vulnerable women.

Thank you for this … it’s exactly what I meant but you worded it better.

I absolutely get what you meant. People who shout about being "one of the good ones" at best misses the point and at worst draws suspicion as genuinely good people tend not to go about aggressively proclaiming it to people. That's one of the things that makes them good.

For the record, I just checked in the mirror and my halo is clearly visible.
 
Doesn't this depend on the beer style? For instance, stouts, barleywines, quads and porters aren't impacted as much --- and as @Cratos mentioned, certainly not the European bottle-conditioned beers?
Not really in my opinion. I mean if I am spending $50 for barrel aged stouts I would prefer a bottle. I know CCB did cans for a recent Hunahpu's and it was not all that different. They are back to bottles because people bitched.
 
I think there's a little truth/accuracy in what we've all said (who knew that we could all have different opinions and have valid reasons for them that none is us totall disregard? 🤣)

I definitely agree that there is a little "snobbery" around beer and bottles Vs Cans thing.

The same as real Cork vs Rubber for wine bottles. It's an interesting one.

I'd never considered that light was a factor though. And definitely not the clear glass/green and I presume brown variations having an impact.

now I just want a beer.
Brown is way to go. Have you ever had Heineken that imports to US? It is pretty much shit and undrinkable. Go to Netherlands and drink from keg and one of best beers you’ll ever have.
 
That's your right and your prerogative but it doesn't seem like a great way to live. I could be remembering this incorrectly but you have a male child, don't you? Do you fear him? Certainly there is reason to be skeptical in situations. You are bright, perceptive and experienced. I would hope you would be confident enough in your abilities to recognize situations where potential danger exists and where it doesn't.

That said, I haven't walked in your shoes and I can't possibly ever have your perspective. I have, in the past, taken occasional offense to generalizations but maybe I need to re-examine that position.
I can tell you that, as a mom of three male children, I'm not afraid of them. I'm offended that bigots categorically throw them into the pot and judge them SIMPLY because they're male.

If I said, "All homeless people are dirty. I don't want them around me." Or "All *whatever race* are criminals." Y'all would skewer me!

Not all men are rapists/assholes/dimwits and shouldn't be made to feel they are somehow "less than" just because they have a dick.
