TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Shut up.  Curling is awesome.

No.  It is silly.  You're not even allowed to tackle people.

These terms are not mutually exclusive.

The curling thingie doesn't even explode.  I feel ripped off every time I see that shit.

You're clearly playing from a different rulebook than I am.

In my rulebook, ALL sports are tackle sports. Including Golf.

Especially Golf.

I have to admit, I take the exact opposite approach when I find myself immersed in an unfamiliar culture. I tend to be more open/friendly/conversational than normal and completely unabashed about it. But I'm also not DOUCHEY about it which is, obviously, an important thing that many people overlook when traveling. It gets me some weird looks sometimes but it also gets me invited to dinner/drinks/party/BBQ/whatever alot and 98% of the time that ends up being the most awesome part of wherever I was and whatever I was doing there.

My douche self-detection skills are lacking, so I don't take chances.

Well, I exercised my right to SHUT UP, and I wound up having 2 berserk Germans haul me around to Heidelberg Castle, 20 beer gardens, and a punk show.

So whatever works.

Oh, absolutely. I'm not arguing the point, just adding to it.

There's also a strong possibility that we are both drawn to places where our respective methods are more likely to work out for the better.

Also a possibility that more than one approach works.

I tend to use your approach in the USA, because I know what's going on.

Also, Germany is a little different, but it's still Western, so they share a lot of the same assumptions about how people are that we have.

True, but I've also been all over the Middle East, plus South Korea.

Neither do I.  To be honest, that's one of the things i like about it.  You watch it, and you're all, "what the hell?" and it progresses, very slowly, punctuated by yells of "SCRUB!" and everybody seems drunk.

You know, after reading this post, I actually have entirely different feelings about curling.  :lol:
