Beer Stein Goes Hi Tech

Spudley writes "Beer is a subject close to many slashdot-readers' hearts, so you'll be pleased to learn that Mitsubishi has invented a glass that can tell when it's empty, and order a refill from the bar. Of course, it'll still have to be filled the old fashioned way, but at least the bar staff will know which ones need refilling - the... ehm... empty ones." I like that it's dishwasher safe. Drunk people can't be trusted to hand wash glass.

Muslims hate beer - and they hate YOU!

The hardest question in relation to the Middle East conflict is how the global community should perceive the world-changing events in Israel and the Occupied Territories.

A brief history of the past decade

In 1993, Israel and Palestine signed the 'Oslo Accords', both sides admitting they were wrong, and vowing to make amends. This was a historic occasion for World Peace, made most significant by the 'Doomsday Clock' being moved back to 15 minutes to midnight. (I'm afraid I do not have the link here, so use Google)

What followed surprised and shocked every decent living person in the important countries. Whereas most right-thinking folk would regard a cessation of hostilities to be a sign of hope, the Palestinian terrorists began their perpetual waves of suicide bombings.

This can be traced back to one root cause. Islam. The Koran teaches muslims that when an enemy yields, they should be struck down for good. Israel yielded. Israel admitted they made mistakes. Israel offered the olive branch...

Only to have their hand cut off in the name of 'allah'. Repeatedly, Israel tried diplomacy, attempted to rescue some kind of peace out of the accords, now strewn in tatters across the broken bodies of Jewish civilians. Their reward? More violence. More terrorism.

It is the nature of muslims to destroy. Their beliefs are systematically geared towards the eradication of all non-muslim life on the planet. Presuming their religion to be peaceful and productive, like Sikhism, Hinduism and even Judaism, the western authorities let this cancer spread.

Israel faced a perpetual struggle, both within and outside its borders. For each attempt at rightful defence was rebuked by condemnation from the World Council. In the end, something had to be done. And Israel began fighting back.

What followed was a tit-for-tat exchange of hostilities. Israel advanced. The Palestinians capitulated. Peace was discussed. Israel withdrew. And then the Palestinians attacked again. A perpetual cycle of hatred.

The Israelite Jew is an embittered, harrowed person. Even though they may not agree with the actions of their government, they are perpetual targets of Islamo-racist terrorism. But at least they still have the right to disagree.

Islam does not permit disagreement with the holy jihad which their deluded sub-human footsoldiers are playing out every time they throw a grenade into a Jewish schoolyard.

So, where should the global community stand? Clearly, Islamic terrorism is a world-wide crisis. Be it in New York, France, or the streets of Britain during last year's rioting. Where should we stand? Ask yourself this:

How many countries lost citizens in the name of Islam on September 11th, 2001?

I am just so fucking drunk now after drinking lots of beer but I can still tell you that your post is so goddamn wrong.

I will fight you and your kind of racists to the end.

Re:Good idea? Maybe...

But yeah, I'd love to see this used on restaurant soda and water glasses...

Or pop glasses, or coke glasses....soda pop glasses....any other carbonated beverage term I'm missing?

This could be dangerous...
