Hey maybe we could go to the Outback Steakhouse™. I could really go for some of that authenic Australian cuisine like the Bloomin' Onion™.

To extend your metaphor, the expensive steak restaurant down the street decided to shove their low quality steak down your throat and charge you for the prime filet mignon. Sure, you weren't hungry and didn't even ask for the steak, but now you have to pay for it. And they want to write down what you've eaten.

But that's not what happened. You moved to California. You got a dog. You weren't forced to do either of those things.
Metaphorically, that's walking into the steakhouse, and ordering a steak, and now you're refusing to pay the price on the menu.
Your reasoning? You think the decor they chose for the restaurant is more expensive than you think it should've been, the heating/cooling system was too expensive, their waiters have health care benefits that you think are too generous, and you think rather than buying their meat from a sustainable farm, they should buy their meat from some factory farm, and therefore you feel you shouldn't be "forced" to pay for things you didn't personally choose.
Except, you chose to come into the steakhouse, and ordered a steak from them...


No, to extend your metaphor again, you chose to walk down the street and they shoved a crappy piece of steak in your gullet and forced you to swallow. You also chose to be alive on that day, so they fed you. Then you refused to pay filet mignon prices.

See how stupid that line of reasoning sounds? That's how I feel whenever someone says "You chose to live in this country/state" and "if you don't like it, move!". It's like telling blacks to move out if they don't like the burning cross in front of their house. Essentially this is the statist equivalent of Godwin's Law, but way, way, way worse. And ends the discussion for me.

Kind of like the choose your own meat steakhouse where you point at parts of live cows and they harvest the meat for you. >> ^deathcow:

What a great way to make fur coats. Prototype them fully alive and have the customer wear them. Once the pattern is pleasing, and the fit to the customer is exquisitely tailored, execute the animals in place.

Better than the "Seafood Special" at Outback Steakhouse.

To this day I can't walk into a Lonestar Steakhouse without loudly proclaiming LOOOOONESTAAAAR!!!!!

This guys is a douche. Unfortunately thanks to socialism, white trash like him can travel. First off, 2 minutes worth of research would have shown that the restaurant's theme is outback Australia, not the cuisine. It never said Authentic Australian food. "Despite its 'theme', Outback Steakhouse serves American cuisine, with Creole influences". The theme refers to a relaxed and friendly environment (aka the outback) not the cities which are full of wankers. Something he is clearly not akin too. Otherwise they would have had served meat pies, sh-t beer (VB)and had a shoes optional policy.

As an Aussie I can say we are not all like that and I actually really enjoyed eating at the outback 'steakhouse' in the states. The irony is that the Outback also opened up in Sydney and won the 2008 Award for excellence: Restaurant and Catering, for the state.

People have to understand that American's co-opt all things culinary and turn them into their own thing. If you are in the United States...
1. Mexican restaurants do not serve 'authentic' Mexican cuisine.
2. Chinese restaurants do not serve 'authentic' Chinese cuisine.
3. Italian restaurants do not serve 'authentic' Italian cuisine.

Basically almost NO ethnic restaurants serve authentic ethnic cuisine. There are some exceptions, but they are few and far between and they are NOT (definitely) NOT a 'chain'.

So for these jerk-faces who are pretending to be funny to get all testy because Outback STEAKHOUSE (steakhouse DUH!) doesn't serve authentic cuisine from Australia's outback is beyond moronic. It isn't funny. It isn't even close to being funny. It's a pathetic attempt at humor that fails miserably on all levels.

If they'd actually tried some HUMOR instead of just being a bunch of jackholes maybe they'd have a purpose. They didn't. Humor isn't just tossing an epileptic, autistic, turret's syndrome fit in public over something pathetically mundane like the non-issue of an American restaurant (gasp!) serving American food!

If I want eggrolls and lo mein, I say "let's get some chinese." If I want pasta, I say "let's get some italian." If I want a burrito and salsa, I say "let's get some mexican." However, if I want a bloomin onion and some ribs, I say "let's get some Outback." I do not say "let's get some australian." I understand that what they have there is probably very unlike what they actually serve in australia. (come to think of it, thats probably the same with all the foods i just mentioned, but i digress)

Outback is a steakhouse. I go there to eat, not for the "ooh, we're in exotic australia" atmosphere. I think it's pretty much understood that it's just a themed restaurant.
