    You forgot Spanish. There is a lot of Italian oil that actually are re-branded Spanish oil. A company from Cordoba in Spain won the gold medal for the best olive oil last year. ;)

    What do you think about truffle oil? It has such strong taste that you need very little of it. It can be an interesting alternative to olive oil in certain foods. Have you tried truffle brandy? I think it tastes awful.

    Sorry, absolutely, Spanish olive oil is great (or can be - much like all of them, much like wine, there is crap, and there is truly liquid gold among all of the littoral countries).

    Most truffle oil I know of is fake, and I don't really like using it, because of the difference between the "black truffle oil" or "white truffle oil" and the real deal from the Perigord or Alba - I am a big fan of real truffles, used properly. My personal bent is to use them, shaved fresh - as its character, while strong, is really volatile. As long as someone else is buying, that is. :D

    Couldn't imagine truffle brandy - truffle's savory character is not something I'd want to blend with the sweetish effect of brandy or cognac.

    Spanish are getting in to truffle oil market (actually everything with truffle) for Arab and far east market. 250 ml truffle oil (black truffle) is about 18 euro against 3.5 euro for the 1 liter of highest quality of olive oil.
    Have you seen olive oil production, it is as complicated as wine making. ;)

    hey Iam an Hindu. you cannot blame a religion for it..

    But think of it is only the peoples mentality.

    see American army has raped and killed many people in Abu garib prison which does not mean all the christians are worst by character.

    there are good and bad in all religion.

    It's not a mistake from the religion. Because people can misuse anything by sacrificing the religion. I never blame for any religion. :)

    You my friend are a hypocrite. You can no more blame the US Army as a whole for the atrocities of the one or the few than you can blame religion for the same.

    Next time site a valid sources, not something you read on some liberal rag like the NY Times.

    :cool:

    The majority of the army follow the Code of Conduct, the Geneva Convention, the Warrior Ethos, the Soldiers Creed, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Federal Law, DOD Instructions/Regulations, and DA REgulations.

    You can no more lump the military together as being the same people as you can a religion. It's ok, you want to be a hypocrite, thats fine, I understand, those pesky things (facts) do in fact get in the way. We'll try to keep them out of here for you.

    People that do that in the US Army get investigated by the US Army Criminal Investigation Command (I used to work there) and get tried by Court Martial and then spend time in Leavenworth.

    What happens to the Islamic fanatics/extremists when they blow up a US Convoy?????

    Wait.... the soldiers at Abu Garib said they are Christians? and I am assuming they did it in the name of their God while doing these stupid stunts???

    OK, I know I was being facetious, but how often do you have to tell people that just because someone is American does not mean they are Christian.

    Reminds me of the news and timothy mcphey (however that was spelled) some still call him a "christian terrorist" when he even says science was his religion.

    Again Iam not pointing any person. There are many good americans and few people who feel the pleasure by killing others.

    Iam not pointing to any country or any religion. I was about to say that..

    What nonsense. First off as mentioned before all Americans are not Christians. Second of all the American Army has NOT raped nor killed anyone in that prison, no if you mentioned torture your statement would have been more accurate. However the way it is (vastly exaggerated) it's very wrong.

    Dude you specifically painted a picture about the American Army. An inaccurate picture at that...

    No, you are pointing to one group as a whole. That's no different than saying all Muslims are killers and rapists.

    You are doing exactly that you said one should not do.

    Hypocrite
    1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
    2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

    Got it?

    And let's not forgot the most important part.

    The U.S. armed forces has rules against "raped and killed many people in Abu garib prison" and every person who violated those rules is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

    Christians are commanded by Jesus to love their brother and turn the other cheek and a whole bunch of other hippie nonsense.

    Muslims are commanded by Muhammad to "Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low."

    You can't really compare the actions who are violating the rules of their organizations and the tenets of their religion with the actions of those who are following the commandments of their religion.

    To do so is to commit a huge logical error and is an example of very sloppy thinking.

    That is also a GROSS overstatement. The vast majority of the US army (By vast I mean about 98-99%) have not tortured anyone as well. Apparently, you are just as bad as him. Get your facts straight.

    Yeah the extremist of all religions. No matter which one you are, there's always going to be that small or big group that favors terrorism or killing / tormenting others. No religion is 100% people-friendly.
