beautifully shot and filled with lovable characters you could watch for hours , americano is an amazing journey that makes one yearn for travel .
watching americano is like hearing a long story about someone else ' s holiday , and while it seems everyone had a nice time , it ' s too bad they didn ' t shoot a better film while they were there .
the film follows fictional movie star gray evans through the disintegration of his marriage , his gradual mental breakdown , and his increasing obsession with a young film student who reminds . . . see full summary »

while some films , like patricia riggen’s la misma luna / under the same moon ( mexico / usa , 2007 ) , hint at physical dangers to migrant bodies , [ 22 ] others , such as short film victoria para chino ( cary fukunaga , mex / usa 2005 ) , are more explicit . the film also follows a minor on his journey across the border , though his experience is far more harrowing than carlitos’s border crossing . like la misma luna , the film’s use of child protagonists helps to humanize the migrant experience , though as a 13 - minute short film it has less time to create an empathetic connection between spectators and characters .
americano certainly succeeds as a romanticized travelogue , and if this doesn ' t make one want to grab a backpack and head for the hills of spain , nothing will .

[ 22 ] in fact , the film has been criticized by mexican audiences for making light of these dangers since we see no actual harm come to any migrants at any point in the film . i believe that the film wants to humanize the migrant experience for u . s . spectators and to that end has made choices to avoid alienating potential viewers through graphic images .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
we really struggled to get into it if i ' m honest , a shame because the principle of the film sounded good .
[ 17 ] the most important fiction film from either side of the border to deal with the bracero program is undoubtedly alejandro galindo’s espaldas mojadas ( méxico 1955 ) . an analysis of this classic film is , unfortunately , outside the scope of this article .

he has also been president of the seattle film society , a film teacher , and an annual guest at the port townsend film festival . he was a mainstay of the original incarnation of urltoken and has written for many publications online and off , including newsday , the chicago reader , and the seattle times . he grew up in seattle , is married , and is now weary of saying all this in the third person .
you do see spain , and you see it a lot if you ' re a film buff . you ' re just probably not aware of it .
, he attempts to resurrect meaning by employing charles s . peirce ' s theories on semiotics to debate the major contemporary film theories that have diluted it .
urltoken is an award - winning website for classic film buffs , students , moviegoers and anyone else interested in the great movies of the last century . detailed plot synopses , review commentary and film reference material are just some of the features available on the site . the site also contains film analysis , original content , information on the top films and most memorable movie scenes ,
best of . . .
articles , and the most popular film quotes in all genres of film . its many resources include a comprehensive overview of film history , a complete survey of the academy awards ( oscars ) , milestones and turning points in the industry , and background and descriptions for hundreds of classic hollywood / american and other english - language movies from the last one hundred years . in the mid - 1990s when it was first launched , urltoken was one of the first websites to initiate the trend to select 100 greatest films in the history of cinema .
where several of the films discussed in this article frame themselves within the context of u . s . policies and events , this short film overtly enters into discourses surrounding mexican policies and the handling of the feminicides in ciudad juárez by authorities by including a corrupt police officer who remains invisible for most of the film , echoing the invisibility of the perpetrators of these crimes since to date most remain unsolved . additionally , the film ends with the following text before the credits roll :

[ 11 ] the film addresses the common assumption that all latinos are mexican when senator abercrombie erroneously refers to the men his wife hired to paint the house as “illegal mexicans [ … ] from guatemala and honduras . ” the film uses text on the screen to correct the error , informing us that “guatemalans and hondurans are not mexicans . ”
[ 26 ] these two moments shocked the students in my film course . they were concerned that the age of the actress ( though as it turned out , she was not a minor when she made the film ) might make this film akin to child pornography and brought up questions of the tension between exposing violence to women’s bodies and the risk of repeating the violence to the woman’s body through the act of filming . this kind of tension is present to different degrees in many of the films discussed here .

[ 23 ] this film brings to mind similar scenes that open and close the film , raíces de sangre ( jesús salvador treviño , mexico / usa 1979 ) . both are based on actual events—this kind of transportation did not begin with nafta , though a principal difference is that “victoria” takes us inside the truck and raices does not . film scholars rosa linda fregoso and david maciel have signaled raices de sangre ( with espaldas mojadas ) as one of the most important mexican films to deal with immigration and the chicano experience in the u . s .

film critic and columnist roger ebert , author of the great movies ( 2002 ) , the great movies ii ( 2005 ) , and the great movies iii ( 2010 ) has made many detailed references to urltoken in his chicago sun - times
answer man
column and in his many writings about the great movies over the years . he has written that the site is
an invaluable repository of movie descriptions and dialogue
and that it is an
awesome website [ that ] contains detailed descriptions of 300 great american films , along with many other riches .
the authors also astutely problematize the passivity of the disappeared latinos ( they are not active agents—and when they reappear , they don’t even know they were gone ) in comparison with the active role of the anglos ( 484 ) . i agree with this criticism , though it may come from targeting the film towards an anglo audience ( that it was released in the us rather than mexico is telling ) [ 14 ] with a goal to inspire consciousness in the public , as it does in the film . a day without a mexican is more about the non - latinos in the film coming to appreciate the contributions of latinos—coming to see these bodies through their absence—than about latinos recognizing their own contributions and agency . there is a sort of irony present in the suggestion that this visibility actually requires erasure , which then begs the question of whether the film is subverting notions of invisibility or reinforcing them .

this is undoubtedly the most pretentious and terrible film i have ever watched . it is ignorant , trying to be cultured but just comes across as embarrassingly cringe - worthy and wooden . the main female character who is supposed to be ( i think ) passionate and exciting is instead annoying and fake . its obviously an american portrayal of what they see as culture on this side of the ocean ( european countries ) but it does nothing but expose the ignorance of the american film industry . the only slightly redeeming fact about this movie is jackson ' s character ' s best friend who is pretty funny ( but is not even on the screen very much ) . i have never written a review on anything before but feel like it would be selfish in this case not to warn the rest of the world not to waste 2 hours watching this film as i have done . ( well actually it was so bad i switched it off before the end ) . basically if you ever think about watching this film . . . don ' t .

follows a group of camp friends as they live life to the fullest on their last day of camp . that is literally the only plot to this film , notwithstanding a few character arcs along the way . it really just boils down to the comedy and whether or not you buy into it . for as dumb as this film is , i had a blast watching it . almost all of the jokes worked for me , even the ones that made no sense , because i felt like that was their plan all along . this cult classic has been really making the rounds ever since it ' s initial release , and i must say , i completely see why . this film is certainly not for everyone , especially those who watch comedies for something profoundly clever in the writing . this film is exactly what it is . the cast was hired all just before the peak of their career , so it ' s nice to see them interacting with each other before they became rich and famous . in the end ,

il volume contiene un ' ampia selezione di scritti del filosofo americano charles sanders peirce ( 1839 - 1914 ) , fondatore del pragmatismo e della semiotica . chimico , fisico , astronomo , matematico e soprattutto logico di impostazione rigorosamente realistica , egli fu condotto dai suoi studi così variegati anche a un ripensamento della metafisica onde trovarvi una reale giustificazione dei passaggi logici su cui si fondano le nostre operazioni mentali .

most of all , though , noland doesn’t beat us over the head with the big message . the ending of his film is left open , just as life in your early 20s is . hemingway knew that , if not in spain then certainly out on the big two - hearted river .

i also chose to restrict my corpus to recent films . however , there is a long history of films that take up immigration and the representation of mexican migrants that remains outside the scope of this essay . for a history of the representation of mexican migrants in border film , see for example , rosa linda fregoso’s the bronze screen : chicana and chicano film culture ( 1993 ) ; david maciel’s “visions of the other mexico : chicanos and undocumented workers in mexican cinema , 1954 - 1982” in gary keller’s edited volume , chicano cinema : research , reviews and resources ( 1985 ) ; david maciel’s “pochos and other extremes in mexican cinema ; or , el cine mexicano se va de bracero , 1922 - 1963” and alex saragoza’s “cinematic orphans : mexican immigrants in the united states since the 1950s” in chon noriega’s chicanos and film : representation and resistance ( 1992 ) ; norma iglesias’s entre yerba , polvo y plomo : lo fronterizo visto por el cine mexicano , vol 1 ( 1991 ) .
dell ' istinto razionale si studiano qui tanto i rapporti con mente , coscienza e ragione quanto l ' effettiva dinamica all ' interno della semiotica e delle scienze normative ( estetica ed etica ) che , secondo peirce , presiedono alla formazione del ragionamento . il rapporto che l ' istinto razionale instaura tra la semiotica e la realtà getta nuova luce sul realismo metafisico estremo al quale peirce aderì , mostrandone sia la centralità all ' interno del pensiero del filosofo americano sia i punti problematici o aporetici .
as has been recognized in many contexts , film can have a powerful impact on perceptions of the “other” ( which , as we know , can have positive and negative effects ) . i personally had never considered why immigrants came to the u . s . illegally until , as a college student , i saw the film el norte ( gregory nava , usa / uk , 1983 ) . in class we had touched on debates regarding california’s proposition 187 ( though from across the country in a liberal arts college on the east coast ) , and i wasn’t really sure how i stood on the issues . over sixteen years later , i still remember how that film brought tears to my eyes as it opened them to realities i had never imagined . witnessing the celluloid journey of the mayan brother and sister from guatemala to los angeles made me think less in terms of political rhetoric and more in terms of human rights . now that i am a professor , i can see similar reactions in my students after viewing and reflecting on many of the films in this essay .

[ 14 ] the marketing in méxico actually excluded anglos through its tagline “nadie sabe lo que tiene un día sin mexicanos ¡los gringos van a llorar ! ” ( no one knows what a day without mexicans has in store , the gringos are going to cry ! ) which many “gringos” would feel as offensive if not outright aggressive as it suggests that the film ( and mexicans ) will inflict suffering on them , making them cry .
john deely is full professor of philosophy at the university of st . thomas , houston . his main research interest is the role of the action of signs in mediating objects and things , in particular the manner in which experience itself is a dynamic structure or web woven of triadic relations ( signs in the strict sense ) whose elements or terms ( representamens , significates , and interpretants ) interchange positions and roles over time in the spiral of semiosis . his most recent principal publications include four ages of understanding ( 2001 ) , what distinguishes human understanding ( 2002 ) , and the impact on philosophy of semiotics ( 2003 ) . a third edition of basics of semiotics ( 1990 ) is forthcoming ( 2005 ) in bulgarian , italian , and estonian .

questo libro presenta l ' opera dell '
ultimo peirce
, che potrebbe essere sinteticamente definita come
la critica del pragmatismo
. negli ultimi anni della sua vita , infatti , il fondatore del pragmatismo americano charles sanders peirce ( 1839 - 1914 ) scrisse alcuni articoli dai contenuti piuttosto originali - innanzi tutto quello sulla realtà di dio - e lasciò migliaia di pagine di manoscritti sui temi più vari . l ' attento esame di tutti questi scritti fa emergere una nuova concezione di semiotica ( che per peirce coincide con la logica ) all ' interno della quale la massima pragmatica , secondo cui la comprensione di un significato coincide con la totalità dei suoi effetti concepibili , perde il suo ruolo centrale limitandosi a essere considerata una formula sintetica della metodologia della ricerca .
charles sanders peirce ( 1839 - 1914 ) , the founder of pragmatism , was an american philosopher , logician , physicist , and mathematician . since the publication of his collected papers in 1931 , interest in peirce has grown dramatically . his work has found audiences in such disciplines as philosophy , computer science , logic , film studies , semiotics , and literary criticism . while peirce scholarship has advanced considerably since its earliest days , many controversies of interpretation persist , and several of the more obscure aspects of his work remain poorly understood .
a passible movie on traveling to pamplona for the running of the bulls . clearly filmed during the festival on a budget , but not bad . dvd picture doesn’t look as good as when i watched it so many years ago . also , i don’t know if it has to do with the anti - theft device sticker with the metal strips on the back , but i did experience bricking in parts of the movie . i would probably like the film more in hd on blu - ray , but this is what is available for now .
unfortunately , once ‘under the same moon’ gets past the central mother - son relationship , it relies too heavily on coincidence and obvious plot devices . obstacles suddenly appear and then magically disappear , crises come and go , and nothing feels as real as we’d like it to . this problem is especially acute when it comes to the film’s few but pivotal english - speaking characters , who come across as evil or feeble or both . not only do the anglos tend toward caricature , none of them have the slightest idea of how to have fun . the mexicans , hard - working as well as fun - loving , come off much better .
under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older . the parent / guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie , even if the parent gives the child / teenager permission to see the film alone . these films may contain strong profanity , graphic sexuality , nudity , strong violence , horror , gore , and strong drug use . a movie rated r for profanity often has more severe or frequent language than the pg - 13 rating would permit . an r - rated movie may have more blood , gore , drug use , nudity , or graphic sexuality than a pg - 13 movie would admit .
this concluding text clearly situates the film in the discourse surrounding “las desaparecidas , ” the disappeared women of ciudad juárez , and interrupts the spectator’s potential voyeuristic positioning by confronting us with the reality of the violence ( often sexual ) enacted on the bodies of women [ 29 ] —many of them migrants from other parts of mexico and central america who travel to the us / mexico border with hopes of crossing into the u . s . ( like sandra ) or with the promise of economic opportunities represented by the global companies , often referred to as “maquiladoras” or “maquilas , ” that operate ( or operated ) on the border and exploit the cheap labor that comes from economic necessity . [ 30 ]
unlike la misma luna that seems to want to humanize the smugglers as well through martha and her brother , victoria para chino is an indictment of the cruelty of the smuggling system . the migrants are transported like goods—human merchandise—in the back of a tractor trailer with no ventilation and no consideration for their basic needs ( such as water ) . for the coyotes , these are not human beings , but a product , something emphasized by their mode of transport . the film visually represents the commodification of migrant bodies that has been occurring along the border , at least in part , according to raymod michalowski , due to government policies that have increased border militarization , which in turn has fed the human smuggling business :
spain itself probably doesn ' t feature directly in many us films because lots of us films are for english speaking audiences in the us first . it ' s got sort of a default cultural assumption point of view . setting a film in spain or having characters go to spain requires a plot that does that . it can and does happen in action , adventure , spy drama movies where characters hop across the globe . it ' s just easy to lose sight of where everyone goes and what they do . in general though , there is just little reason to feature things from a us studio perspective outside the usa as the major plot , so spain and other countries just do not get mentioned or featured using actual locations from those countries .
nonostante le difficoltà con le quali si scontra il tentativo di offrire una lettura organica del pensiero di charles sanders peirce vale la pena — e il presente volume ne è una prova — di continuare a impegnarsi in questa direzione . in particolare , come qui viene mostrato , le indagini di peirce sull ' ontologia e sulla metodologia delle scienze matematiche sembrano perdere gran parte del loro interesse , e perfino della loro comprensibilità , se non vengono inserite nel contesto di quel sistema fenomenologico che scaturisce in peirce dal superamento del trascendentalismo kantiano . l ' abbandono del dualismo fenomeno - noumeno a favore di una tavola categoriale di natura semiotica si ritrova a fondamento dell ' approccio peirceano alla matematica , del carattere osservativo e sperimentale – e da qui informativo – attribuito dal filosofo americano a questa scienza . a partire da un ' indagine dei concetti di astrazione ipostatica e di ragionamento teorematico , centrali nella trattazione peirceana delle scienze deduttive , questo lavoro si propone di interpretare le riflessioni di peirce sulla conoscenza a priori nel complesso della fondazione gnoseologica della filosofia pragmatista dell ' autore . nozione centrale della ricerca è quella di diagramma , segno grafico peculiare del procedimento deduttivo , oggetto singolo e materiale , come tale passibile di osservazione . il segno diagrammatico , pur partecipando di aspetti indessicali e simbolici , si rivela nel proprio carattere essenziale di icona , quale unica modalità semiotica in grado di farsi portatrice di nuova conoscenza .
ernest hemingway has been dead for 44 years , and yet the nobel prize - winning novelist is still influencing the lives of young american men .
as jakes barnes and friends do in “the sun also rises , ” noland’s characters are in pamplona to , among other things , run with the bulls . those other things include falling in / out of love , watching bullfights , drinking wine , questioning where their lives are going , fly - fishing and skinny - dipping in cold spanish lakes , and listening to an american expatriate ( dennis hopper in full “apocalypse now” mode ) do a rap on what it means to live .
the trio of americanos that we follow consists of chris ( joshua jackson of “dawson’s creek” fame ) , ryan ( timm sharp ) and michelle ( ruthanna hopper ) . chris is enjoying his last days before he has to return home to a corporate job that will offer him a good salary and company car . ryan and michelle are the mismatched couple who can’t decide whether they have a mutual future .
in the midst of a fiesta , chris bumps into adela ( leonor varela ) , and their shared attraction results in his buying bullfight tickets . once there , with ryan and the reluctant michelle in tow , chris finds himself sitting next to adela and a bit sickened by the sight of the bloody fight in the arena below .
but culture clash doesn’t necessarily dampen the chance for romance , and so the four end up at the club overseen by hopper’s eccentric expatriate . and later , after a night of drinking , the three americans follow adela on bicycles to her home . a bit of lip - locking follows , along with chris’ growing confusion , shown mostly through notes chris writes in his journal .

this is a great movie , watch it at least once a year . . . whenever i need to place myself in jj’s character and say , “what if i made this choice instead ? ” . hemingway fans will appreciate and relate , others might not get it . very relaxing and pretty funny in some spots ; you’ll feel like you’re along for the trip . wish it was on blu - ray , but the overlooked indies never seem to make it . btw , if you’re easily offended say by , the traditional running of the bulls recreated with pit bulls and midgets , you should probably still watch it !
one of my favorite meandering movies . music is amazing and it really tapped the culture of spain with actual bullfighting . technically one would not rate this wandering plot line as poor but that ' s what the plot line is trying to get across and does with the wandering path the main characters take . a great movie to put on if things are too hectic in ones life . it always soothes .
bought this because joshua jackson was in it . the spanish countryside was beautiful , but the story was just so - so .
satisfies , for a moment or two , my wanderlust . i ' ve liked joshua jackson ever since mighty ducks . fun look at spain , even if cliche as hell .
this is a movie that to some might not think is very well written but if you start watching this movie as if you are watching a documentary of a college student ' s last trip before . . .
you know when something is greater than the sum of its parts ? well this movie is . the acting is so good that it ' s hard to separate the actor from the character sometimes .
great movie ! first time i watched it in tv and i knew some day have to get it . simple story , great soundtrack . 5 on 5

this is a fun dvd . it also very interesting and very informative . it takes you ( kind of touge in cheek ) back to the romans and the gang , then progresses through the colonies of america , then through the revolutionary war , then into modern times and visits varioius breweries . all in all it is interesting and i do believe that since beer saved the world i should support it .
alcohol and how much of it we drink is a touchy subject in this country . elle gordon asked some well - known people to talk to us honestly about their drinking habits . these brave souls tell us how much they imbibe , their favourite tipple , why they drink , how they deal with hangovers and the ' fear ' and their feelings about giving it up for good .
but what most do not realize is just how closely our society’s evolution is linked with that of the development and distribution of beer . archaeologists have always marveled at how long we have been a civilization of drinkers , but only in recent years have scientists truly attempted to unravel the threads of history , and they have made some shocking discoveries .
in the end paramount signed up to distribute the film . our other film , the world according to sesame street , went straight to pbs .
human beings have been around for about 100 , 000 years . all accomplishments have been made only in the last ten thousand years . so what exactly happened that put an end to primitivism and kick - started the age of creativity and invention ? beer happened and it changed the world forever . it sounds almost too bizarre to be true , but many now believe that it was a taste for beer , not bread , that started people farming barley in around 9000bc . known as the agricultural revolution , it ended hunter - gathering and led to the world’s first ever civilisation – mesopotamia . the drive to grow more barley in order to make more beer led to a cascade of inventions ; the plough , the wheel , irrigation , mathematics and even writing . beer’s hidden hand has been behind some of history’s most remarkable breakthroughs , from the discovery of germ theory to the invention of refrigeration , the birth of the factory and the end of child labour . beer didn’t just change the world , it saved it !
the beer is both tart and sweet , bready with a hint of sour apple juice at the end . it’s … actually pretty good . if i close my eyes , i can almost imagine it changing the world .
“you could say we came out of the trees to get a beer , ” benner says . but the point wasn’t to get drunk . that would come much later , once we figured out how to make the stuff in quantity .
“we’re in the midst of a great revolution of israel’s standing in the world , ” netanyahu says at the start of his speech to the un general assembly .
seems funny that they would end the documentary with a brewer attempting to brew flat beer . seem like our drive for beer should fuel the creation of artificial gravity . i figure i will stay put until millercoors or someone else uses beer technology to overcome this slight inconvenience . ain ' t like we ' re trying to save the world here , just moving beyond it
palestine is “the gaping wound of the world , ” he says , saying that steps must be taken to prevent further crisis on the temple mount .
what we commonly known today as beer relates to the bavarian style of brewing . the earliest known beer was dark and cloudy and the taste and standards of quality often varied widely .
i ' m with you . . . if god wanted us to be in space why did he put carbonation in beer . clearly we need to stay put and have another beer while we figure out the atmosphere problem so we can have proper beer in space . flat beer ? oh hell no !
beer sewed the first farmland ? i ' m pretty sure it doesnt have hands .
it’s a problem that’s only going to be solved if the whole world unites . and i think the whole world did unite in paris , finally . the drought , the wildfires … everything he talked about is happening , but it’s happening faster . that’s the only thing we maybe were a little off on , how fast everything has happened . we’re not talking about our grandkids’ future now . we’re talking about our future .
“beer has lots of b vitamins and lots of antioxidants , ” traw said . “in a perfect world , the more beer you drink the younger you’d get because oxidants are one of the leading factors in aging . there’s also a lot of silicon in beer . silicon has actually been caused to reverse osteoporosis and increase bone density , so it’s recommended that older women drink more beer . beer also has a high amount of calcium and magnesium . it actually has more potassium and a lot less sodium than a sports drink .
ultimately , traw joins the list of minds who truly believe we would live in a much different world without this beloved beverage .
schumacher said it was important for him to let the world know about petrov’s passing because “we owe this man a lot . ”
in a 2015 interview with the associated press , petrov recalled the excruciating moments at the secret serpukhov - 15 control center when the fate of the world was in his hands .
i immediately went to the dark side , thinking about how it could be mocked , or whether people would think it was a political move .
nothing like liquid bread . i am a bit of beer snob ha haha . its just that i like beer : ) . @ 3pl3 i was watching it also when i had a beer . great minds think alike .
she came up to me afterward and said , “this has to be made into a movie . ” and i thought that was a bad idea , if not a crazy idea . i did not see how in the world a slideshow could become a movie .
“president trump spoke the truth about the dangers lurking in the world , and called to forcefully confront them themselves to ensure the future of mankind , ” he adds .
on facebook and twitter , skeptics of the change expressed their loyalty to mr . goldsmith and lamented his exit . and news of the character’s trip to mars may not have reached everyone : some wondered how there could be two “most interesting” men in the world , given the singular nature of the word “most . ”
how much i drink depends on the time of year . when it’s christmas , i would usually consume a lot more alcohol than i would during the year .
i agree , i do not drink beer either , but if you were in mexico and knew the water could kill you , you just might have a beer .
in this way the calendar is not religion related but rather agriculture related . so lets hear it for ab ( after beer ) and bb ( before beer ) .
archeologists hold that babylonians or sumerians introduced brewing to their neighbors , the egyptians . egyptians worshipped a goddess of beer named tenenit and told stories about the goddess hathor / sekhmet who saved humanity from destruction after a binge . hieroglyphics depict women brewing and drinking beer through straws , which historians say the babylonian brewers probably invented to pierce thick layers of scum that floated atop their product .
beer kept the population alive during the middle ages as the only viable water purification technique of the day . beer was the first observable use of antibiotics some 2000yrs bc . beer was the first ' energy drink ' due to the high content of carbohydrates . bread , the ' staff of life ' and beer share the same components , necessitating more efficient ways to grow and transport grain . these are facts , bob .
“we are against nuclear weapons , ” erdogan tells the un general assembly , calling for world to “be cleansed of nuclear weapons . ”
“without beer , ” says historian gregg smith , “we’d probably still be living in caves . ” and what fun would that be without beer ? —jacob sullum
i always knew beer was special . i have made beer to 4000 yr old recipes . was ok but i ' m a bud man . . .
geometry was devised to do the land division , it was chemistry ( recipes ) and the associated algebraic equations that was developed to create fairly consistent beer . . . . oh that ' s right minch . . . that ' s all math from 4000 bc . funny how some of the earliest writings discovered were beer recipes .
let ' s not forget the invention of beer goggles which has leveled the playing field for those of us who are socially less desirable or painfully shy . indeed , without beer , many of us might never have been born . . hooray beer ! ! !
ha ha , im a bud man lol budweiser isnt real beer its crap cheap and nasty its just a big advertising campain cop on man german beer is the best .
this special presentation is taking a historic look at the role beer has played in the development of the world . eyres said that a wide range of topics will be covered including medicine , economics , agriculture and even the tune to the ' star spangled banner . '
“we will request that the high court judges obligate the government to respect the right of millions of jews in israel and around the world to equal treatment , ” she says .
think you missed the point , view the video again and try to note the experts credentials , the world would be decidedly worse off if beer had never been discovered . it ' s a pretty compelling and accurate documentary . . . cheers ! ! !
they say beer will make me dumb . it are go good with pizza .
wine snobbery actually started with the romans , since it was easier to grow grapes in the region than grain . beer was still thriving along the fringes of the roman empire so the ' elitists ' considered beer a barbarian drink .
beer ' s life - saving historical properties include saving people from giardia and worse , because the water was contaminated and beer was safer to drink . thanks to super strong beer created by midwives , women were able to experience easier labor - - and maybe weren ' t as scared to have another , thereby helping grow the world ' s population ( in a time when that was actually needed ) .
