Interesting article, but if the writer ate the best soup of his life in a war zone, he needs to stop going to chain restaurants lol

Heh, well, they do say that the best seasoning is circumstance, and I imagine homemade soup tastes pretty damn good after narrowly evading death.

C'mon man, personal comments on a human interest story aren't uncommon or uncalled for. It's part of how people connect.

It's not part of how I connect though.

Did you really get so angry that you needed to do that? I love pickles and sausage. If I say that, am I making it about me? Any doctor or psychiatrist can help you with anxiety meds. You can do it over the phone.

The condescending wanker thing only works on young folk, mate.

Also, a bit telling that you read sarcasm as anger!

I have a good grasp of reading comprehension, we don't use that here

Apparently we also declare things to be “sarcasm” after receiving shit. I’m guessing you lean to the right-wing?
