Nah they're right. When PDO over champagne first became a thing, there were already American wineries producing 'champagne', and they wouldn't agree to the PDO terms for many years. Finally, the PDO was negotiated that historic American champagne lines could continue to be produced, however, it has to mention 'California'.

Only a small number of these historic lines continue to be produced however, and almost entirely for the American market.

Italy has kinda similar laws when it comes to food, but that's more about names than anything. Things like not being allowed to say your parmesan is 'parmigiano regianno' if it's not from Italy and made in the right way, but this doesn't really fall into that kind of category

There is an astonishingly high chance that there is absolutely nothing at all that one could call a "god". It's an entirely fabricated concept.

On a side note, sorry about the story you read. I've certainly seen some day ruiners.

What would the Catholic Church need to do in order to get you to just walk the fuck away? If they're this wrong about the basics then just imagine the assload of doctrinal crap they're selling you.

Dude, I accidentally read the worst story I possibly could today. My God isn't benevolent and good and doesn't grant me wishes. I think I'm probably right on this one.

Yes, BUT - then you're just basically inventing a god that you like. It's possible that ALL of the religions are wrong, but I find it even more probable that your personal opinion on gods would be even wronger.

That's a Matter of opinion.

Nobody was at Guilty Pleasurez Dezzert Cafe at the time since it typically opens at 11 a.m. - That’s a unique business name.

Moisturize, stay out of the Sun and lay off the sauce

Where is this so I can drive into nail salon and then casually come in for a chocolate croissant and call it justice?

Sums up Northern Illinois pretty well.

Most people think of Chicago when they think northern IL, it's mostly empty fields filled with drunks, druggies, and the dregs of society, basically Florida.

Hey this is right by my home town!

The drunks in Republican stronghold of the NW suburbs are fucking deadly and absolutely batshit fucking crazy.

All this time I just thought it was a made up name for a Disneyland ride.

Sell that bitch a cake.

It's heavily funded by evangelical groups that do not support the inclusive message of the ads. These people are religious extremists who want to impose a very noninclusive world on the rest of us.

For example, one of them is the money behind Hobby Lobby. Those assholes are part of the reason your employer gets to decide whether your health insurance covers reproductive care.

They're using a progressive message they despise to polish the image of Christianity... the same image they have spent their lives tarnishing. These people can go sit on a cactus and spin.

I’m aware of that, I just wanted to avoid jargon terms for the sake of those not in the weeds.

Well now I don’t even want one.

Hard sentencing will not magically make the american justice system start working

It does sound like a parody.

Sitting here at 53 not all that far from the scene of the crime I'm doubling up on my early to bed and morning exercise vow after looking at that mug shot.

Lithium ion batteries have this problem too.

Those curlicues in your hair make me so hot I can’t think straight.

how is that revenge?

They barely stop any crime. They usually make stuff worse.

No, you're right. You're right.
