**[Video: Pro-Migrant French Asked to House a Refugee; All Refuse](https://www.infowars.com/video-pro-migrant-french-asked-to-house-a-refugee-all-refuse/)**

Another gem from InfoWars.

It feels good to say you welcome refugees. That’s easy.  
It feels even better to vilify those who don’t. That’s even easier.  
But to be asked to actually house a poor, helpless refugee? Gulp.

So, here’s the question . . .

Is it reasonable to ask that the pro-migrant crowd take on the burden of providing for them? If not entirely, at least partially?

I view it like someone bringing a pet into your home. If they’re the one bringing it in, they’re the one cleaning up after it.

This is just stupid.

Should I have to house an orphan because I think that the state should provide care for them?

I’m sure everyone who supports military actions would be happy to walk in the shoes of soldiers if asked to :rolleyes:  
Should I have to personally get involved in every single state project if I agree with it.

I think that my country should treat potential refugees with respect and spend money on professionals to provide aid and assistance to them.

There is no hypocrisy here. Just points scoring and lazy thinking.

Banana Bread Recipe  
Prep time: 10 minutes  
Cook time: 55 minutes  
Yield: Makes one loaf

No need for a mixer for this recipe! Clean-up is easy too, if you want, you can mix everything in one bowl.

The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are over-ripe. The yellow peels should be at least half browned, and the bananas inside squishy and browning.  
Ingredients  
2 to 3 very ripe bananas, peeled  
1/3 cup melted butter  
1 teaspoon baking soda  
Pinch of salt  
3/4 cup sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)  
1 large egg, beaten  
1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.

2 In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

3 Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.

4 Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

5 Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren’t crumbly.)

Oh Jesus I’ve just looked at the cite and it’s that fucking cuntnugget Alex Jones all over the front page. Please disregard my previous comment as I’ve no interest whatsoever engaging with anyone who cites that prick’s stuff.

IRISH COFFEE

Ingredients:

1 ½ oz. of Irish whiskey

5-7 oz. hot coffee or 2 shots of espresso

1-2 tsp. brown sugar

Fresh whipped cream

Method:

Run hot water slowly over a glass mug until it’s at room temperature or hotter, and then dry it (pouring hot coffee into a cold glass could cause it to crack)

Add brown sugar to mug

Pour in whiskey

Add coffee or espresso, leaving room at top for whipped cream

\*To make cold Irish coffee chill the sweetened coffee before adding the whiskey

Stir until sugar is completely dissolved

Set whipped cream on drink

Do not stir (drink stays warmer longer with the cream sitting on top)

If I wanted to fill my brain with the relentless stupidity found on Infowars, I could probably Google my way to that site.

Muddle half a lime, cut into wedges, with three teaspoons of sugar and half a dozen mint leaves in the bottom of the glass.

Fill glass halfway with ice.

Add a couple shots of white rum.

Fill with club soda.

Perfect for the porch after a day of yard work - relaxing and refreshing.

So to what degree do you think the ckalli, I mean Great White Dope, is just a troll vs. truly lacking critical thinking skills?

Based on his previous posting pattern, I’m going to go with 25% troll, 75% lack of critical thinking ability. He didn’t start off with the real trollish behaviour. He was just woefully ignorant and lacked any real ability to think. I fell he he lacked the maturity to handle The Pit and flew off the handle when heavily mocked for his ignorance.

Do you have any advice on how to properly incorporate the butter? I have found that it coagulates very quickly when mixed with cooler ingredients and ends up in lumps.

Have you tried cinnamon instead of vanilla? I’ve done it both ways to have some options on flavour.

As I’ve frequently said, a Caesar makes a better drink, IMHO, but it requires some changes besides substituting clamato juice for tomato. Same dash of Worcestershire, the hot sauce is typically Tabasco, and a bit of horseradish is optional but considered by some to be important. Finally, omit the black pepper and substitute clamato rimmer. No need to rim the glass for a lazy everyday clamato, just sprinkle a few dashes over the drink.

But to do it right, start by dipping the rim of the glass in lemon juice, then into a dish of clamato rimmer. Add plenty of ice, vodka, juice and the other ingredients, and garnish with a slice of lemon or lime and a stick of celery. Surprisingly, a large glass with plenty of ice is important to the aesthetics of a decent Caesar.

Thanks, but I settle for a Scandinavian middle of the road lager without any political or ideological ties (that I know of).

Sure, but with summer coming (up the northern way) a crisp cider in the sun beats a lager anyday. They can be wonderfully, dangerously drinkable. 🙂

If you want dangerously drinkable, try a snakebite; 50% lager, 50% cider and a dash of blackcurrant cordial (or creme de cassis if you don’t want to contaminate your drink with anything non-alcoholic).

To some extent, sure, that’s how Canada does it. It works pretty well. Some refugees are privately sponsored.

I threw this in the crockpot this morning:

4 chicken quarters  
Chicken stock (maybe a cup, I didn’t measure)  
Beer (maybe half a cup. I got some good beer in a growler that’s gone flat some I’m using it here)  
Salt (to taste)  
Rosemary  
Garlic Powder

Set to low. I’m fairly experimental when it comes to spicing my foods, so I’m excited to see what I get here.

**Great White Dope is an asshole Rice**

1 cup white rice  
2 1/2 cups beef broth  
2 cans of kidney beans  
1 onion  
1red pepper  
1 anahiem pepper  
1/2 pound cooked ham  
olive oil  
salt and pepper  
garlic powder

cook the rice in 1/12 cups beef broth instead of water  
In another pan, add diced peppers, onion and olive oil and simmer

Add 1 diced ham and 1 cup of beef broth, simmer for 20 minutes

Add rice and kidney beans, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

I like to add raisins when I am cooking the peppers and onions, but that is optional.
