That's fucking digusting, who thought drinking beer from a shoe was cool??

[fistingenthusiast@lemmynsfw.com]

Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies

Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine

Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion

There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun

Australia expects us to respect them as a nation and then they pull this shit

[nun@lemm.ee]

Ah yes, the two choices: drinking beer from a shoe or committing genocide.

[irelephant@lemm.ee]

Sir, this is a discussion about drinking beer from a shoe.

If you're that close to disrespecting them as a nation on the world order for having some unique tradition you don't share, you never really respected their culture and were waiting for a chance for it to be excusable

There are two very different types of respect; respect for a person as a human being, and respect for a person as an authority. But because we use the same word for these two different things, people often talk as if they were the same thing. So for example, when someone in authority says “If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you.” What they’re actually saying (and justifying) is “If you don’t respect me as an authority, I won’t respect you as a human being.”
