Ridiculous objectification of our SOs thread

[Fandango 1,439]

I'm beginning to think Why_Me is really an adolescent boy who finally had sex for the first time and can't stop talking about it. Meanwhile, everyone else is doing their thang and *gasp* not feeling the need to mention it constantly!

you have sex and haven't told us all about it????? Shame on you!

lol... I can see where I might come off like that. I just thought I'd give this thread some flavor other than the usual vanilla that seems to be predominant in this forum. That and I took the title of this thread as an invite.

you might want to look up the definition of a pisstake. That might help in this particular forum.

OK a bit off topic, but since I'm here...has any of you actually eaten and/or cooked Kidney Pie ? Iv'e seen it on a TV movie, and it looked a bit gross imo but I could be wrong.

I have eaten it - it is not my favorite thing

You have more guts than I do. I can't remember the movie I saw it on...it was years back, but after I saw that I was like #######...no way to people eat that stuff.

It was actually steak and kidney pie - I liked the steak part of it, not so much the kidney

I've also eaten Haggis, which is far worse

Kidney tastes kind of like liver I guess

I have noticed that in other sub-fora, there is to some extent what seems to me to be objectification or exoticisation of the one's partner as the Other, subject to the gaze of the (often American) poster. I would not presume to understand fully why this is so popular, because it seems to be a lot of hooey -- we love our partners for who they are not where they're from, right? Right?

Packed with logical fallacies, so I wonder what your purpose actually is. It does not follow that admiring the cultural and physical features of your spouse "objectifies" them. That's ridiculous.

Exoticize? By definition two different cultures and races on the opposite sides of the planet are exotic to one another. This is a visa forum. How could you possibly think such a thing unusual? What a great topic for an international forum - how stupid people are for liking the cultural and physical traits across disparate countries.

The oddest logical fallacy is to pretend that a person's culture, their race, is not a part of them. Somehow, growing up in the Bronx and the son of caucasian christians, Joe was asian, spoke visayan, was muslim, and followed the tradition of children supporting their parents in retirement, etc.

To that end, I propose we try an experiment. I suggest that we in the UK sub-forum give it a shot. Let's see if we can develop our own take on this, and perhaps (indulge me, please) I can understand better why this is apparently so much fun. Here goes my shot (bearing in mind my UK SO is my ex now, but we are still friends):

When we lived in the UK, I loved nothing more than to see him striding manfully across the countryside in a waxed Barbour jacket, wellington boots, wide-wale cords and a chunky wool jumper. Then we'd repair to the pub for a few jars and a ploughman's, while we talked meaningfully about 19th century British politicians or the Second World War.

Have a bash at it -- let's see if we're any good at this malarkey.

Sure. Anyone can make fun of whomever they please. "Look how stupid you are for what you love about your SO."

Well obviously a trash thread given a lot of the other posts, but I did want to respond to the OP./

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis <--- Ok I just googled "Haggis" and if anyone ever knocks McDonalds again, then they can take a look at that link. That's just down right creepy in regards to food(s).

Big Macs > Haggis

Do you eat the weird stuff when you go to Belarus? I always try when I travel, though I draw the line at dogs/cats/insects and a few other things.

Nope I don't. They have some food over there like caviar that I wouldn't feed to my dog...no offense to any RUB peeps reading this thread. I had some over there it it's the same kind of eggs here we go trout fishing with. And the markets over there...they have a pigs head on a table, and they even eat "pigs ears". I was like #######

Ya, thank god Minsk has like a half dozen MacDonalds along with some decent pizza joints. Although there pizza isn't the greatest..European pizza sucks imo compared to ours here, but it was decent enough.
