New Game - True or False

[Interference]

Cakes: A good source of energy and slow-burning carbo-hydrates. Good for you, I'd say.

T/F soup makes a good start to the day, too, especially if you're in a hurry and the soup is a cup-a-soup.

[katiafish]

You can have it on the train I suppose, slurping loudly...

T/F Japanese believe that slurping loudly shows that you are enjoying your food.

[Interference]

Isn't that burping? Or is it slurping, too? Do you suppose there are some Japanese folk somewhere who hear it and think, "euuughh! disgusting noises!"?

T/F licking your plate after a meal is a great compliment to the chef and thre's no real reason why you shouldn't do it in restaurants, too.

[katiafish]

I lick my plate all the time, also other people plates if I can get my hands on them.

T/F Food is one of the best things in the world, other beings sex and Star Trek.

[Interference]

Okay, I'll go along with food and Star Trek

T/F There is way more than enough food in the world to feed everyone on the planet for life and no one would ever go hungry unless they were, like, dieting or something. (Sermon ends)

[katiafish]

True if only people that have plenty of food had a little more compassion for people who dont. And the obesity wouldn't be a problem....

T/F there are more of greedy people than generous people

[Interference]

Far too true for comfort.

T/F greed is altruistic when it's for the security or survival of your family - but it's still not nice

[katiafish]

No greed can be good or altruistic. (gosh was that my communist speaking just now?!)

T/F Sometimes people try and use their family as an excuse to do horrible things to other people...

[Interference]

Sometimes whole nations get away with very similar excuses and yet only a few already very well-off people seem to benefit in the end (Heck, I didn't know I was a communist, too )

T/F Morality is universal, but minor modifications are made through local legislature

[katiafish]

Bloody capitalist pigs (shakes fist) Errr yeah, what you said

T/F Communism only works in theory

[Interference]

Only because it fails to take into account the psychology of the people responsible for making it work.

T/F political debate is futile since even the people who could make a difference get distracted by self/minority interest and the rest of us don't have the power to make a difference. So, who wants some cake?

[katiafish]

Cake will make the world go round world go round world go round...

T/F People think that just because you are on a Scifi forum, you must be talking about little green men.

[Interference]

Ah, you've heard about the cake-driven Star Drive, have you?

T/F it's impossible to swim through a vat of custard - for two reasons.

[katiafish]

One I cant swim Two I hate custard..

Well actually that is not entirely true, I like custard that I make.. But I never make it by the vat.

T/f It is impossible to thread through a vat of whipped cream for one big reason

[Interference]

That was the reason I was thinking of - but I like custard, which isn't liquid enough to swim through, in case you were wondering about the first reason

T/F It is physically impossible to pick fresh fruit without sampling most of it as you go.
