I enjoy drinking high dollar teas that are weighed on a scale by a hipster at teavana, I also enjoy purchasing expensive contraptions to brew my tea. One thing I really like about drinking high dollar tea that no one has ever heard of is that it is really conducive to intelligent discussions.

If you are drinking expensive tea, and if you have spent lots of money on devices to brew the tea, please come in to this tea room and lets talk about very serious topics.


I'll select the first topic.

In France there are many regional languages that are very cool and significant , from a historical perspective. The French government is actively trying to ban these languages and prevent people from speaking them, even by putting up Nazi like signs in schools that say "SPEAK FRENCH, BE CLEAN" .

How do you feel about the marginalization of provencale, Breton, and other French regional dialects?

Talking about this while drinking a 39.99/pound mate that I bought from a guy with a twirled mustache. I also paid 50 dollars for the pot I poured it out of and another 29.99 for a tea ball rofl that is just a piece of mesh

In thirteen trillion years from now the Andromeda galaxy will collide with the Milky Way. Nevermind that the Sun will have gone supernova before then, I'm just miffed I wont have enough money to buy a decent telescope to see it better.

And all those other stupid fricks are complaining about language or whatever prejudice? Makes me ashamed to be even human.

That is a very intelligent observation. Welcome to the tea room.

I'm surprised Cirus hasn't posed in this topic yet

It's not about tea

One time I was asked if I would like a cup of tea but I said "No" because I didn't want any.

But if you wanted one, would your answer be different? Hypothetically speaking

I like Green Tea.

Actually, the Bretons have decided to teach their own language in school with the approval of the French government. This has led to the unprecedented situation of the upcoming generation being conversant in the local dialect while their parents only speak standardized French. I learned this from a Breton over a joint and a beer and now I'm telling you over a cup of Keurig® coffee.

I have had really awful oriental tea while flying United. Absolutely horrible.

This is the thread for the real George Zimmerman discussion not the joke thread over in the pub.

I cant post about it though because all I have is earl grey tea and it was 3.39 for a big box. Once I get some 30 dollar an ounce tea and am smart enough to post here i'll let you guys know feel free 2 start w/o me though

President Barack Obama has said that "Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago", in his first comments on the case since last week's verdict.

The unarmed black 17-year-old was shot and killed in Florida in February 2012.

George Zimmerman, 29, said he opened fire on the teenager in self-defence and was acquitted of murder by a Florida court last week.

In an unexpected press call, Mr Obama said very few black men in the US had not experienced racial profiling.

Mr Obama said the pain that African-Americans felt around the case came from the fact that they viewed it through "a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away".

He said African Americans were also keenly aware of racial disparities in the application of criminal laws.

"That all contributes to a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different," Mr Obama said.

He shared his experiences of being racially profiled in the past, such as being followed while out shopping.

"There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars.

"There are very few African-Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she has a chance to get off."

All of you who took a poo poo on my locked car door thread, see the bold section of the post above. Barack Obama thinks it is a real issue so why don't any of you except Steev and Rowdy Tuesday find it worthy of discussion? This is the real forum for serious discussions btw. The Pub should be renamed "Discuss popular topics on Reddit"

Idk Obama when you think someone is following you do you attack them??

If so, here's a joe rogan quote for you:
"Hey, hey, hey!! What are you doing? You can't assault people, Obama!!"


One time I was walking to the store in Denver and this fat hispanic guy (maybe it was Zimmerman, LOL) was following me in his car and smiling.
This was when I had long hair, so maybe he thought I was a sexy girl.

Another time a black guy asked me, "Where the green at??" (I think my long hair made me look like a stoner!!)

Both times I didn't assault these men I just kept walking and I didn't get shot/killed.
