i don't really think you can compare chinese tea to british tea. i like green and herbal teas as well, but i'll take a brit-colonial leaf and dark brew any day. two very different blends. like red/white wine, really.
i am obviously talking about 'english tea' as a cultural thing. who cares where it's from? all the best ingredients in french cuisine aren't sourced from the fields of france, you know. i was referring to 'english tea' as the specifically english cultural pastime of having 'afternoon tea'. who cares if the leaf comes from india. we own that shit, anyway. they don't have the tradition of taking afternoon tea in the same way we do. we're the nation that made it a 'fact' and experience.Cybargs wrote:

i don't have any milk or sugar in my tea. except maybe a splash of milk in an assam or burundi (quite dark and malty). i will put sugar in a chai because it compliments the flavour. other than that: nope.
have you been to england?

In other news, except for Florida, the country doesn't seem to have latched onto this trial at all. Granted, it's not terribly important in the sense of changing national discourse, but the media sure loves it. Everyone knows Zimmerman shot Martin, and we only got to hear the details of the one guy who survived.

The entire country is paying attention to the trial.
it's getting 0 news coverage over here now.
Well I'm 'the south'. And Oklahoma ain't. That's more Midwest. Your story illustrates racism can be anywhere. Further, it has already been disproved that this was not racially motivated (though mainstream media and the sharpton bamster types tried to frame it) as Z even did social work benefiting other minorities.

Oklahoma is in the south.
If you didn't secede, you ain't the south. Oklahoma wasn't even a state for another 46 years.

Last time I checked, South denoted a direction or physical location.
South is a lifestyle. Okies have more in common with New Mexico than Georgia.

I'm pretty sure you've never been to Oklahoma or Texas. I thought we established in another thread that you were a liar.
Then the American south is full of bullshit, with Mexico not far behind. Antarctica is where it's at.Extra Medium wrote:

so it WAS racially motivated?
Yes. Zimmerman racially profiled Martin.

like i said, i don't care about the trial, though it sucks for his parents and family. i'm just glad i don't live in a state where that sort of thing is okay. hell, i'm glad i live on a continent where gun-crime isn't really even a thing you have to worry about. but yes, an eye-opener. florida's legal system is... interesting.
Why? You're white. Nothing to worry about.
