My point was it has nothing to do with drinking or not drinking, but with culture, and my point stands :P

And since when does saying something sounds gay make you an homophobe? I just think it sounds and looks affeminate, that's all. I do realise it's not relevant since it's a foreign name/nickname that's not perceived this way in it's country of origin, but that doesn't change the way I perceive it.

He, you'd be drinking right now after reading that if you were a christian wouldn't you?

Because i'm a just man and i want ugly chicks to have a fair chance.

I wanted to thank you for taking the ugly chicks away from the beautiful people like myself.. It's already hard enough just to be pretty but with those ugly chicks hanging around...

No. Alcohol isn't encouraged by religious figures over here (pklus why would I do what somebody esle does or tells me to do? only some kind of sheep would do that).

Your religious figures are obviously antichrists then for they're straying people from the Word. And if you were religious, you'd do what other people tell you because, well, for one, that's being religious, and you'd be sure to burn in a lake of fire if you don't :P

What you said is funny if you were joking, but disturbing if you were serious.

Taht's simply not true in many places.

It's normal here for "Daniela"s to use "Danny", with an y, as nickname. You can find plenty of them. It's also very unusual for someone to actually be called Dany(i) instead of Daniel(a). We don't even use y in native words around here btw, and I realise Daniela must be a very unsusual namein many other regions of the world, so that could explain a lot.

Still, Danny simply sounds feminine. Whenever a Daniel guy is called Danny he's often mocked around here.

Another point is the way it's written. Since the name would be Daniel writing the nickname as "Danny" instead of "Dani" with a single n and an i, it looks very gay. Maybe it's just a cultural thing, but just think about the sound of it.

BTW, Danny612, I have a great new argument for you to drink. I know you're probably sober but try to keep up.

I'll open with a quote:

"We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."
-- Benjamin Franklin

So if that's not enought for you as an american to drink (pfft, who'd listen to the Founding Fathers anyway), it introduces the Christian argument. If you're a Christian, you should drink.

See, let's start with David's mother. She tells him, and it's written in the Holy Text, so it's True, that the people should always have access to alcohool. Why, if they're not supposed to drink? God's clearly not against drinking or that wouldn't be part of His word.

But that much is obvious. The Man himself turned water into wine for everyone to drink. He too enjoyed it. In another ocasions, ne of the central passages of the Bible, the scene is a bunch of men, choosen by the Man himself, in His company drinking around a table. Sure one of them was an ass, but that's just life.

It's actually easy to see that it's the case that God doesn't just tolerate us drinking, he likes that we drink, sees it as a good trait.

Just take a look at how many central characters on His Word, the very people He choose to be His People, were heavy drinkers.

Let's focus on Noah. Now, Noah was hardcore. After a long time in the sea, he was so craving for a drink he actually "proceeded to plant a vineyard" as soon as he landed. I mean, really, a vineyard. That should tell you something about his priorities. And after growing his vineyard, what did the good old man do? Why, of course he made wine. And drank it, until he was so shitfaced he passed out naked.

But who's Noah, right? Just the guy entrusted by God himself with the most important task mankind ever faced. The one responsible for preserving life on Earth and repopulating it. Yeah, Christians are all sons of Noah, the quintessenssial hardcore drinker. God gave this drunkard everything upon Earth. Everything. Clearly He likes his sons to get loaded.

I mean, one the best evidences for the existence f God is preciselly the way he tends to drunk people. Have you ever wondered how in God's name can those blackened out guys always walk back home from some random place? Well, that's how, their drinking pal God helps them.

So yeah, I know I have my place His place. I hope you learned your lesson. Please be a good Christian. Maybe God himself will congratulate you.

But, really, please think about it. You'd better have your throat burn a bit right now than have your Immortal Soul burn irrevocably through the eternity later on. I really hope I wont have to hear you screaming as I'm enjoying a drink with my Lord, that would be such a buzz kill.

Btw, if you don't believe in God, then just refer to your hiigher autority, Galileo Galilei: "Wine is sunlight, held together by water." Who could possibly say no to that?

I'm on it. Won't stop drining for the next 20 hours or so. Cheers :D
