I don't think that there is a nation-wide chain restaurant that isn't Tex-Mex food period. It doesn't matter who it is owned by. Just about every sit-down Mexican place (that are owned by actual Mexicans) in Oklahoma and North Carolina (so far) have been bland Tex-Mex. They are catering to the white bland-food-eating folks. In Oklahoma, there are some taqueiras (and food trucks) that actually serve Mexican food (tripe, lengua, etc). They are predominately filled with working class Mexicans and the occasional white guy (me). The "real" Mexican places are becoming more and more popular, but I don't we will see a nation-wide chain soon. In 10 more years? Probably.
Also, Chi-Chi in Bangla (language of Bangladesh and W. Begal, India) means "dirty".
We have a pretty high Mexican population, but the big restaurants that open up with "We're Mexican made by authentic Mexicans!" tend to close within 6 months with a sticker from the Department of Health on the door.

QUIT RAPING JESUS, YOU HEATHENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at how he's dressed, he was asking for it!
BTW, I got this from a quick google search for "sexy jesus" I'd avoid doing that... people be weird.
Dammit, now I can't unsee it.
She'd have to clear the flag that's in the chamber as well (it's a thing that helps prove there is no round in the chamber for in uninformed)
Yeah, I just imagine the thing holding the mag is just plastic designed to clip in and detach like the magazine. This way she just needs to expel the mag and insert the real one.
I imagine she's doing her mandatory military period right now.

When I did my national service, at no point did the occasions when I needed to carry a rifle overlap with the occasions where I got to wear a frilly white dress.
Maybe they are just more relaxed about it because they live in an actual warzone?

From what I hear, the IDF requires you to have your weapon close at all times. All times.
Wow - couldn't you substitute "God" for "electricity" in that passage & have the same conclusion?
No, because there are enough people in those circles that have felt God or know him on a first name basis.
But electricity? Weird stuff from nowhere, being chanelled by those mysterious plugs in the wall...
Isn't that their point?
Yeah, I assume they're trying to be illustrative: no one would deny electricity is a real phenomenon, so why would you doubt God, when the same statements apply.
The name of the textbook, however, is Bob Jones Science 4 (as in, Grade 4). Bob Jones University is a Christian university with a reputation for fundamentalism. The University Press publishes homeschooling materials, like this text.
Where's the on/off switch for God then? And if he has one, why haven't we flipped it to off and broken the fucking switch yet?
Well, electricity can't actually be turned off, it continues to exist as one of the four fundamental forces, even when your lights aren't on.
Oh, I agree. I was merely saying that if you accept, prima facie, their examination of electricity, the metaphor applies well to the concept of the divine. "While there may be many ideas about its source or the way it comes to us, it certainly leaves its mark upon day-to-day existence."
In logic, we're taught to adopt the Principle of Charity, when examining another's statements: that is, to assume the strongest, most coherent explanation of their statement, even though it may be stated with a fallacy. For instance, if I say, "I get ear infections once a year and they only last a day," the 'only' could well apply to 'ear infections' - that is, only ear infections last one day. But what I most likely mean is that ear infections last one day only, and I just placed 'only' in a lexically ambiguous place.
So while I feel the whole excerpt from that textbook is wrong, and ultimately a poor tool for explaining either science or concepts of the divine, I tried to find the most coherent way to understand it.
