dan, looking down at others via the "I'm more tolerant/open-minded than thou" avenue is = ILXian penchant
also, wrong - hippies have been doing this shit for forty fucking years
also, liberals

iatee even surely your good liberal self must own that liberals are among the most condescending assholes in the history of the world
c'mon man I vote the same way as you do but you gotta come correct

yeah sure lots of left-wing people ("liberals") are condescending. so are lots of right-wing people. so are most americans. barack obama isn't more condescending than george bush. there's no reason for people on the left to be buying into stereotypes about 'liberals'.

do you guys have any opinions on your preferences for vietnamese food versus portugese food while you're at it
actually can we make this into a race thread instead of a politics thread
why do some black people viking at things that white people don't?

btw actually yes, actual leftists should always note that liberals condescend terrifically to the dumb ol' masses who just don't know what's good for them & have been doing so forever, this has been a problem with liberals since time immemorial & if you don't believe me, hasten thee to a couple of state central committee conventions - the only way you can miss this indisputable fact is if you are the knight errant for the democratic party, protecting their name from unfair besmirching far & wide

dude you know I'm the democrat-apologist not the 'liberal'-apologist. liberal's an empty pejorative term that can be used to describe you, me, both, or neither of us.

never had portugese food except for the portegese bread I bake ("broa" it's called), which is OK - unless my impression is wrong, portugese isn't the most vegetarian-interesting cuisines

I really don't think it is - it's essentially the political equivalent of "hipster," i.e., if it's a phantom, it's one everybody's seen enough of to know that they want to avoid it

portuguese sardines are pretty awesome imo

also if you want to shift terms I'm just as comfortable saying "the Democratic party is incredibly condescending," which was true thirty years ago & has nothing to do with the president

I've no idea why this thread has 500+ answers, but I just wanted to say I've always thought it was the first option, because...
A) the way Ralph pronounces the sentence, and
B) a bullied little kid dreaming of being an actual Viking isn't much of a gag, but Ralph being a "Viking of sleep" is pretty funny.
If the second option would be true, it would be a rather bad joke.

a bad joke on THE SIMPSONS?!?!?!?!?!?!

that is overcomplicating it, gd. vikings are just cool and exciting and that's why ralph likes being one in his dreams.

it figures that a scandinavian would just ASSUME that english speakers use the word 'viking' to mean 'good at something' (when really it's just a figure that only a semi-retarded american would dream about being)
