Moderator - please change the name of this topic to "Gosh-diddily-Darn!" and maybe move it to the General board.

Do you know of any brand of beers that would taste good to a beer newbie? Don't call me moderator or you'll make me use the coax LWA name since it doesn't say administrator

My Favorite: Fat Tire Amber Ale by New Belgium Brewing Co..
It is absolutely yummie. A similar import that is prolly in your area (if Fat Tire is not) is NewCastle Nut Brown Ale. A good mexican is Negro Modelo by Cerverceria Modelo (good with lime and enchiladas!).

Dark on a budget: Michelobe Dark, J. Dundees Honey Brown.
St. Pauli Girl Dark, Heinieken Dark, and Becks dark are all good and fairly similar.

You should try Sierra Nevada Pale ale, too. If you like that, you are a hop-head! It is good stuff but some like more malt than hopps.

Hope I don't come off as a beer snob! Best thing to do is find your favorite sty of beer and then try different brands until you find a nice balance between price and flavor. Don't Drink and Drive

Any suggestions from the other beer lovers?

Edit: You could als try a Sam Adams Sampler or a Pete's Wicked Sampler - there is good beer to be had there.

Tennents Velvet is rich when it's poured correctly, but I've had shocker cases, surprisingly when I was in Newcastle.. the bar maid just poured my velvet straight in at 90 degreess.. man... frothy and thick. yeuch!!

But if Bud Ice or Miller is on offer in my old work, I tend to sway towards them if it's not for the JD!!!

sorry but to me its a meal in a can

liquidised bread lol

This is about as good a community as there is. But nevertheless, let anyone stand up for any sort of values, Christian or otherwise, and all sorts of people come out of the woodwork to mock, ridicule or otherwise make fun of... including Coax. Not viciously, but the intent is clear.

Just a few points:

Grind:
I must admit that you are not right. Somehow, perhaps it's a mystery, the first words that come to my mind when I'm impressed by something are not expletives. Seeing how "every other man" says those words, it may be that I'm a freak of nature. Though I do appreciate your half-hearted attempt at an apology.

Cell:
Your suggestions to Sage indicate a distinct lack of awareness of how blissfully ignorant you are of the Christian religion. My prayers that your condition may be relieved are all good and well. But as it is pointed out in the Bible, to pray for a hungry man is less important than handing him the bread that is in your hand:

1)Politely requesting that God's name not be taken in vein can in no resonable way be considered a claim to piety. Your response is similar to that of a child who is told not to say a bad word and responds with something like "Oh, and now you're little Miss Perfect". The child has missed the point and instead goes on the offensive.

2)The concept of turning the other cheek is not a directive to be a doormat. In fact, in case you were not aware, Jesus himself said (paraphrasing) that he came to bring the sword - NOT peace. Turning the other cheek refers to forgiving the offender and not taking vengence. But while we shouldn't take vengence, we should do everything in our power to prevent the act in question from happening again. Hence, a simple and polite request from Sage.

Even if Cell's smiley face indicates he was attempting humor, it still makes light of the request. And turning someone's serious request into a joke can be a clever way to argue against it - because the natural defense is "lighten up, he was only kidding". Kidding or not, our culture is entirely too comfortable with taking God's and Jesus's name in vein. On the other hand, let a security guard at a mall say the opposite with "God Bless" during the Christmas season and the scum bags from the ACLU file lawsuits faster than Supe frags in a DDM.

amen

Last time I checked, I didn't see anything in there about first, second or third person grammatical issues. It seems rather obvious that you're not damning God. I'm can't fathom how you went in that direction with your reasoning. But I appreciate the explanation anyway.

If you really want to get technical, that commandment is an admonishment to Christians to not take his name, and take on his name, lightly. We take on Christ's name by calling ourselves Christians - and we are not to do so unless we believe it and are commited. It may be argued that you were not breaking the third commandment by using his name as a curse word - since you make no claim to his name.

However, as you so correctly pointed out, the way you used it was a curse. If you're damned by God than you are certainly cursed. Obviously, it's objectionable to some to use his name in a flippant manner while cursing. If you can't see why that is objectionable - then just imagine all the "(fill in the blank) Anti-Defamantion Leagues" that would crawl out of their holes if someone dared say the equivalent of AllahDamn or VishnuDamn in a movie or some other mass media.

Amen.

Word.

This was an innocent thread and Grind did apologise to the people that might've taken offense and I assume they might've taken it a little more understandably! It was a full apology as he was just only justifying his acion.

And Ras has justified Sage's point and pointing out where Sage and Ras stand in this, seemingly irrelevant topic for this threads inentention. But we know now that there more serious thoughts to cinsider and we will hopefully all respect them. Grind and myself talk all the time and I know he's a very reasonable guy and does not make a habit of that so, Ras, I assure you and I put myself in his shoes, that it was meant to be innocent and am sure the apology was more than half-hearted!
