What's so bad about horse meat? I still don't understand why it has been made into such a big deal. Yes, mixing beef and horse meat while portraying it as pure beef is a cost cutting scam but it could have been much worse. Horse meat is delicious, although very tough to chew, and at least it wasn't rat meat.

Horse meat is a delicacy in Quebec. I expect a Canadian to realize what the uproar is about.

Im originally from Kazakhstan and horse meat is part of the diet. I have never been to Quebec and didnt know it was such a big deal there. Then again, a lot of ordinary things are a big deal in Quebec. Independence and freedom for example :)

Meh, it was funny enough. You know the fake anthem that they play during the movie? It was played as a joke at one of the soccer games in Kazakhstan. The government was not amused.

One of the best parts of that gag was whenever the legit Kazak government tried to tell people he wasn't from there he'd say, "That's just those nitwits from Usbekistan trying to make me look bad." I'll be asking semi serious questions about the real place later.

Oh yeah and some bonehead accidentally played that anthem at an Olympic cerimony because they had a degree in media or something.

In the day that I have been here I noticed numerous threads dissing religious believes, zionist and anti-zionist propoganda, and some guy offering to make all fat people ride the back of the bus. I dont think racism is the biggest of our worries. Go nuts

Oh, also let me add to the list of things that I learned today: drinking dead people is apparently all right. There's some weird stuff on this forum O.o

No. Just drinking the water dead people have been in for a few days as long as there is sufficient chlorine in it.

Oh cool, that makes everything so much better. I'm looking for more controversial material but there is quiet a bit of political bs that I have to browse through first =)

Because fraud.

When you pay $x.xx for 100% beef, you don't agree to pay for 15% horse and 85% beef.
