You know, if any of the Presidential candidates were yearning for a beverage with frothed cream, you'd think it'd be Santorum.

DemeaninDemon posted:What was the reason behind hot drink if any? Well the top response at mormon.org says quote:This is a question that people ask us as missionaries quite a bit. A lot of people are looking for a specific answer such as "because they contain caffeine" or "because they are addictive", but the real answer is, we do not drink coffee, tea, or alcohol, because our Heavenly Father has commanded it.

Literally everything for all seriously religious people boils down to "because God said so", Mormons aren't unique in that.

Talmonis posted:"Latte sipping liberal" has been a conservative pejorative for a while now. They usually insinuate that it's somehow effeminate and unmanly. I understand that, I'm wondering how it can be a conservative perjorative when they're literally more common than McDonalds and patronized by people with much higher incomes. Is milk for fags or something?

Alien Arcana posted:Wait, they're allowed to drink beer? "Strong drink" is currently defined as any alcoholic beverage. This wasn't always the case, but the Temperance movement of the 19th century (that eventually led to the Prohibition) led to an eventual ban on alcohol altogether instead of merely distilled liquors like whiskey. quote:I understand that, I'm wondering how it can be a conservative perjorative when they're literally more common than McDonalds and patronized by people with much higher incomes. Is milk for fags or something? A major Republican identity in politics is being "That down-home guy you can sit down and have a beer with at the local barbecue." They try to present themselves as an American everyman, someone who works hard and wears flannel and jeans and drinks Budweiser. There's also a trend to believe in "good ol' common sense" instead of science and to even discourage school learning in favor of "common sense" and the redneck equivalent of street smarts. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jun 15, 2015 |

Unsurprisingly, rich Californians don't think the rules should apply to them, purely because they're rich. "“It angers me because people aren’t looking at the overall picture,” Butler said. “What are we supposed to do, just have dirt around our house on four acres?”" YES, you dumb motherfucker!! It's called succulents and cacti and not blue grass lawns and rose gardens. gently caress off and suck up, Jesus Christ!!

Stultus Maximus posted:Well the top response at mormon.org says That's super lame. Straight up, Ezra Taft Benson said it's because hot drinks gently caress up your stomach lining, leading to health problems. Caffeine is a stimulant and highly addictive, and unpredictable in a family who doesn't indulge. Tobacco and nicotine is addictive and Emily Smith hating cleaning dip off of the church floor. Masturbating constantly makes it harder for your wife to please you. This is why the church doesn't talk about Ezra, I think. That's basically common sense without involving God in some dumb way.

Real cowboy coffee is awesome when someone knows how to make it property, though methods vary. A sock, cold water settling, egg shells, egg whites, etc are good for minimizing the grounds in your teeth and avoid it tasting like burnt acid.

Cowboy coffee after a night of getting wasted in the woods is the best coffee you'll ever have. Try to make it at home on any ol day and it'll be the worst coffee you ever made. Yes worse than Yuban filtered with a paper towel because you forgot you ran out of filters.

The cowboy coffee I had was legit delicious, but it was prepared by a history teacher/reenactor who specializes in cooking delicious food using old west equipment and techniques. He made some fantastic biscuits, gravy, eggs, and coffee.
