So, how many orphans have you hosted so far? I’m sure many here are dying to know.
I don’t know what you are getting at. Tell us why you think it is.
The reason I wouldn’t host a refugee is because our house isn’t big enough - we don’t have a guest bedroom, and someone sleeping on the couch would be a severe disruption of our lives.
10 out of 10 people who want better traffic conditions refuse to let roads be built through their house! What’s WRONG with people?!?!?!?!?!
Of those people who said they wouldn’t host a refugee, would they host a complete stranger from their own country? I’m guessing no. Without that information, you don’t know if those people are uncomfortable with refugees or just uncomfortable with strangers in their own home.
Then why the fuck don’t you?
Years ago, I saw a recipe for a “Tequila Mockingbird”, but I can’t for the life of me remember what was in it (aside from tequila, obviously). Anyone have any ideas?

In Mr. Miskatonic’s world, allowing a refugee to use your home for a single evening is equal to destroying your home by allowing a road to be built through it.
That sure is an interesting comparison for someone who claims to be pro-refugee.
I mean, I’m strongly opposed to allowing an influx of Middle Eastern refugees into the West, and even I don’t think they’re quite that bad.
Oh look, it’s trying to be clever. Where’s my camera?
On the topic, sure, bring 'em on. Guess I’ll have to clean out the back bedroom, but I always wanted a roommate anyway. As long as they do the dishes.
For reference, approximately 1 in 12 people that live in my town are refugees or their descendants. It’s not an idea, it’s reality. How many refugees live in New Brunswick, anyway?
That’s awesome. You’re a better man than me. And if you need to take a break from “defending common decency and humanity” and feed trolls on a message board while you recharge, I can’t begrudge you that. Seems like an odd way to spend your downtime though.
Why?
Want to be a better person, just not that better.
This sounds good.
Hell, in that case you might as well use Frangelico. That’s just Mrs. Butterworth’s with a string tied around the middle, right?
Take a gander at the state of the Middle East and it will soon make sense to you.
Stare at the Middle East long enough, and nothing makes sense any more. To echo Primo Levi, Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Not the parameters you described in your op.
I’ve done this, but I drop all the liquid except for the wine and the applejack and add in club soda. I’ve used green apples, lemons, limes, and peaches, garnishing with raspberries. Ooo boy, does it sneak up on you!
