Say, have you guys tried Concha Y Toro Frontera Cabernet/Merlot?

In the handy 1.5 Liter jug at Sam's Wholesale for about $6.

Not a great whine, but a really nice sitting around eating pizza and watching a movie while drinking to excess whine.

... oh yeah, back on topic... why do people talk about the whines they don't like but never mention the whines they do like or the brand name of the whines in either case?:confused:

Thx.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Why cant someone ask a question, state an opinion, or voice a concern without someone calling them a whiner?

Its kind of a bully response, normally committed by someone of a less than stellar IQ when he finds himself incapable of using facts to reply or offering up intelligent counterpoints.

Its really kind of sad, and not a particularly good reflection on the community.  My opinion anyway.

If anyone of you all ever get to Los Angeles, I can't recommend stopping in at a Tommy's enough.  They make the most wonderful chili burgers ever.  There is one about 2 blocks from my apartment.

They make good inexpensive wines in Chile.  Try the Walnut Crest line if you ever see it.  The reds are very good.

Well, it's like this.....

If someone asks a question, it's not a whine.

If someone states their opinion and it's not inline with my own, it's a whine.

If someone voices a concern and I'm not concerned about it, it's a whine.

Regarding IQ, bullying and facts, all irrelevant to whining.

:)

Seriously, it's not the topic which constitutes a whine in my opinion, it's all in the tone and presentation.

I have lost confidence in the power of the whine. I don't think HTC pays any attention to them anymore.  I belive in hitting the delete account button, if a really bad idea is introduced.  If enough other people hit it also, I think that will get HTC,s attention.  If no one else hits it, you were wrong about the subject in the first place. If you don't care enough about it to hit the delete button. Why bother to whine?
