Had to look that one up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine

Yea, it's deathly. There are different variations depending on the type of cheese and gravy used. I haven't had one in a loooooong time. Not since I became health conscious. But I still remember the ecstasy every time I had a spoonful. :drooling:

Aside from being fried, I don't think it's that bad if you use a non-meat chili and go light on the cheese... Which people rarely do. :beaten:

Watching Lindsay Lohan get sentenced to 90 days in jail, I was thinking two things:

1) Welcome to the real world, Lindsay.

2) Her lawyer looked like she was thinking, "Maybe I should go back to defending crackheads and drug dealers. At least they're smart enough to know that they're criminals."

@GM~ :lol:

She is about to have a dose of reality. Maybe it will actually affect her a little. Even Paris Hilton found jail sobering.

I hate to admit it it but it looks delicious. Thanx for the Wiki info too.
I'd never heard of Poutine before. :ashamed:

Looks like I could like that too! :victory:

That jackass sheriff Lee Baca will probably get her out in a week or so like he did for Paris, huh? :shakehead:

Ahhhh a poutine doesn't have chilli. Just fries, gravy, and cheese.

@eve: poutine is a Canadian thing so I'm not surprised. It's a must-have when you visit. :mrgreen:

Well, yeah... You have the gravy, we have the chili. :)

Honestly, I'd rather have the chili. :mrgreen:

I was being polite, not apologizing for my opinions. :)

Kijinnmaru wrote:Freedom, the ability to vote, desire for a decent home, these do not come from the heart of humans. These are learned desires. In the absence of knowlege of such things, humans do not desire them. This has been shown the world over from closed societies that have never been exposed to them. In fact, the statement that all humans desire freedom is absolutely wrong and runs opposite to what the real world has shown us. Humans, at the most basic level, do not desire freedom. They desire security and stability, or the illusion of it.

I finally realized Kijinnmaru that you and I are having a discussion about humans and war but we are having it from two entirely different perspectives. Or we are both headed in the same direction but are on two different roads. :D When I use the word heart I am viewing all humans from their spiritual or divine essence or enlightened nature. We all have it some of us haven't awakened or tapped into it yet.

Kijinnmaru wrote:
Again, it's the other way around. Pacifism is learned, not born with. We were born with the drive to survive, and the ability to perform violence to do so. As I've said before, pacifism can not exist where the environment doesn't allow it. Those who preach pacifism do so from the cloistered protection provided by others willing to kill on their behalf. They would not have that luxury if the violence came to their doorstep. So, ironically, pacificm was born out of the comfort provided by war.

Small children may be aggressive towards one another but they are not out trying to kill one another. That is why I said we are all born with peaceful natures and I think we have to be taught to hate and seriously harm one another. I also don't think we are like vicious pack animals out trying to destroy or one-up each other to make ourselves feel better.

I choose to see world through the eyes of the 'possibility' of peace. In order for an idea to become a reality first it must be in the hearts, minds and actions of the majority. Yet it only has to start with one person. "All I am saying is, give peace a chance" :victory:

OK it too hot & humid here to discuss war anymore, so that is all from me on this topic. :thumbsup: :)

Hey guys all this talk of food here and last night I had some good beef franks with some spicey mustard! Soooo good! :D

From Wiki:

July 7, 1928 – The Chillicothe Baking Company in Chillicothe, Missouri, US, first produced sliced bread, advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped", which then led to the popular phrase "the greatest thing since sliced bread".

We are definitely looking at the subject matter from polar opposite perspectives. You see the "enlightened" nature of humans as part of the human psyche that needs to be unlocked. I see the same "enlightenment" as a learned way of thought; one that could only be learned and exist within the buffer of a stable and peaceful environment provided by others willing to go to to war in their stead. This is why "give peace a chance" always failed throughout history. It only works when it doesn't have to be put to the test.

It's not the "enlightened" nature that prevents modern nations from going to war with each other. It's simply in their interests, for now, to not do so. I used Japan as an example earlier because it best illustrates what I'm saying. Japan, by all accounts, has reached the "give peace a chance" state of thinking. I also guarantee we'll be at war with them in the next 50-100 years. Why? Because enlightened thought means nothing when your way of life is torn from under you. It won't be about greed or anger, but survival of a society.

Heart attack in a bowl, but it's absolutely delicious!

:victory: Yes! Though my first experience with it was just gravy. Great with a Guiness. Not healthy at all, but sometimes you just have to enjoy life. Canada not only has beautiful school teachers, it also has great bar food!

LOL! O I dunno... Teachers + Poutine = fat teachers. :beaten:

Mmmmm... cheese sandwich... :drooling: Cheese is my absolute favourite food. If I could eat it every day, no matter shape or form, I would.

Guinness... would you believe me if I said I've never had one before?
