I’m scared to look at the “would ya?” thread, because I haven’t yet decided if I would. I have almost peeked at the results like five times, but my willpower has remained strong. I am going to make a decision and vote before the game starts, and see what MHH nation thinks about the situation.

Isn’t it? I think its awesome. I have a friend in chatanooga that loves that 50s, rockabilly style, and he is friends with the chick who designs these. There are more on her website, but this is my fave so far.

Yeah, I sent an a message asking if they ship to Canada. Depending on the price I’ll either be getting it now, or within a month or so. At least the top is incredible, don’t know what the bottom looks like… but I have fallen in love.

I have a smaller closet than a lot of women folk I know. But, I spend a lot more on each piece that I own. I’d rather own less, but have clothes that last longer (in fit, style and wear) and I find that the fabric is so vastly different…

He asked me to “name three Avalanche players”. I listed the entire team, then asked if he wanted me name the guys that were healthy scratched and injured. His fiancee was laughing her ass off at him. They bought my beer the whole night. I became friends with the girl. Actually the four of us were friends by the end of the night.

I wouldn’t want to date a hockey player – the guy would have to be seriously impressive. I’ve had many chances to have one too. More than my share of NHL’ers wanted to take me out- silly men they just like cupcakes- but I am just not drawn to it.

Beautiful enduring head

Sweet scent. Definitely can smell the alcohol, but it isn’t offensive. Slightly spicy, don’t really get any notes of the forest, though.

Spiciness plays heavily in the mouth. Crazy flavour in this one, but I’m not sure if it’s a good one. Odd interplay of sweet and spicy. The flavour is on the back of my tongue and has an unpleasant sensation.

Mouthfeel is full and oily. Enjoyable and filling.

I don’t think I like it very much. The flavour is offf-putting. Hopefully it improves as I get used to it.

I think I’m enjoying it more because I’m focusing my mind on the hops instead. They’re using… columbus hops? I think? Clearly not centennial or cascades, but it’s a Canadian beer so it must be one of the three..

Beer is not meant to be made from spruce needles. I’m glad I tried it, but I’m done with this. I didn’t enjoy beer made of saffron, I didn’t enjoy beer made of rice, and I don’t enjoy this beer made of spruce needles.

It’s highly recommended. I’m a hop-head, so I like the 60-minute. People claim the 90-minute is better, but I find that the alcohol flavour overpowers the hops that I love so much. I don’t find the flavours to balance one another quite as well as they do in the 60.

The Raison is very solid, though. I would never turn down a bottle. Some companies deserve my money, and that is one.

I actually haven’t had a significant number of brown, red, or amber ales. I’ve had a few, but not enough to recommend. My niches are IPAs (especially American IPA and Imperial IPA) and Hefeweizen, with witbier by necessary implication.

If you find a good brown/red/amber aside from Raison, let me know. I would be interested to try more. I prefer ones that do not make too heavy of a use of dark malts. If I want coffee, I’m not drinking beer.

I take this back, there are still very clearly acts of oppression in modern-day North America. I feel like overt racism and sexism have disappeared to negligible amounts, but oppression does still occur incidentally.

The social stigma of being a racist or a sexist has become so strong so as to destroy overt acts of discrimination, but that hasn’t extinguished it in its entirety. I don’t realistically expect it to disappear, due to the inherent xenophobia in every society.

LGBTQ. The Q is for queer. I am not certain what the appropriate term is, since I don’t know any individuals with undecided gender identity. When I do, though, I will adjust myself appropriately.

I feel like this is the most vulnerable group, currently. In Canada, at least. The LGB communities are treated very equally, for the most part (Canadian Blood Services excepted), but the transsexual and queer groups are not. This is improper and needs to be remedied immediately.

It is very much based on location. Toronto is different than Oklahoma. Calgary is different than Cochraine.

It’s alright, I grew up in a middle/working class, predominately white, Catholic/racist and homophobic family. The fact that I know this much is an anomoly. It took much much mentoring from my supervisor in undergrad. Luckily I work in Student Affairs which is about as diverse a profession that one can be in so I am exposed to topics like this fairly often. I will recommend you a book, titled “Privilege, Power and Difference” by Allan G. Johnson if you wish to learn more about the subject matter.

I don’t believe that I am educated enough on the topic to make an accurate representation. You can assume that I am hedging my statements by saying that there is something outside of those categories.

The way I would see it is that there is “A”, “B”, “A and B”, and then a vast group of individuals which fall outside of those categories who would not want to be grouped into “neither A nor B”. Take this with a grain of salt.

I wrote a long answer to this comment, but then I deleted it because I am well aware that it is not difficult to determine my identity from my screen name.

Suffice to say, making a comment which favours increasing the ability of an accused to absolve himself or herself of guilt in a sexual assault case is asking to be attacked on grounds of sexism.

It’s real interesting. In some states in the US, males that are raped by males, can only be prosecuted for Sodomy, instead of rape, or sexual assault. Speaks to the stigma that surrounds anal sex that it isn’t actually sex, because sex is between a male and a female.

Part of the reason I love federalism in Canada: when sodomy was removed as a crime, it was removed as a crime throughout the country.

I do not think that that stigma still persists in Canada. It probably does in small pockets, but it is definitely not the majority opinion. Of course, same-sex marriage is well-recognized here already. I think we may be at least a little bit ahead of the USA in terms of equality rights.

by JProulx on Feb 17, 2012 10:34 PM MST up reply actions  

you probably are. Also, for the record, not sure if you are aware, but the difference between Heteronormative and Heterosexual is that Heterosexual just means different or opposite. For example, my colleague who is gender queer, could date a female who identifies as a female, and because my colleague identifies as a male, it is a relationship that is still opposite, yet not the norm, so I have been taught to use heteronormative because i am a male sex, with male gender who prefers female sex and gender. Just a nice little tidbit for you.

See, I understood heteronormative to refer to the “ought to” standard of heterosexual individuals. That is, I understood the term to contain a connotative value which determined the pursuing of an individual of opposing gender identity as a sexual mate as the “proper” method.

I will need to look further into this. My nature makes my standpoint clear, so I don’t spend much time worrying that I may offend another with my diction, but I would prefer to use the proper terminology.

definitely. It’s almost impossible to not offend anyone because although we may see ourselves as smart, there are still areas for which we are ignorant and will always be. The true definition of racism (which is debatable) is that only groups with privilege can oppress groups that are disprivileged. Use being white, male, heternormatives, it would almost be impossible to experience true racism against us unless we moved into a society where we were the minority.
