The War on Christmas

[Humanistheart]

Because it's fun and harmless.?

Harmless, did you miss the whole marked increase in suicide at this time of year?
Or does that somehow not count?

What justification is there for banning it in the first place? That you, personally, don't like it for whatever reason?

I prefer to live in a world without christian's pushing their ignorant beliefs on me thank you.

 

[Humanistheart]

Usurpation is not an American value.

An ironic statement, particularly from a christian. You do realize that christmas itself is usurped from pagans don't you?

 

[blackout]

who the hell cares what anybody calls it.

it's a day people dress up.
but underneath it's just a day like any other.

I personally find the whole thing weird.

that must be why X*mas is so weird at our house.
we are a weird family.

X = unknown variable.

Not until you prove that Christmas is the cause.

I prefer to live in a world without christian's pushing their ignorant beliefs on me thank you.

But it's ok to push your ignorant beliefs on them? ISn't there a word for that? Oh yeah, "hypocrisy."

Alright, if we're going to degrade to such a pathetic level as your first sentance implies, I can simply respond to your 2nd sentance with "Prove I have 'beliefs' and that they are ignorant."

What's wrong, can't take your own medicine?

I just threw your own words back in your face to make a point. Didn't care for it, did you?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The point of christmas being what, to you?

Pretty much the opposite of being paranoid, contentious, and petty.

 

[Humanistheart]

Pretty much the opposite of being paranoid, contentious, and petty.

And when, where and how was this point derived?

Storm you seem to be confused. Are you feeling okay?

I am in fact the one that threw your words back at you.

To which I responded: "Alright, if we're going to degrade to such a pathetic level as your first sentance implies, I can simply respond to your 2nd sentance with "Prove I have 'beliefs' and that they are ignorant."

You'll note, I'm the one that used your words against you, not the other way around, in an attempt to get you to actually address the material presented here. Seriously, what's up with you today?

 

[blackout]

does xmas have a point... really?

 

[blackout]

well... stars are pointy... pine needles are pointy...

guess I answered my own question.

:sorry:

 

[blackout]

but are stars and pine needles christmas?


(feels like Jack)

What Is This?!?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

And when, where and how was this point derived?

I don't know. I'm not a historical expert on holidays. I don't really see what this has to do with my original point anyway. I'm not really sure what your point is, but if you have one, please just state it, and don't waste my time by leading me through a pointless Platonic dialogue.

 

[Storm]

Storm you seem to be confused. Are you feeling okay?

I am in fact the one that threw your words back at you.

Seriously? Are you really that desperate? Fine, before you can edit them away, I'll point out the progression:

I can read, and remember more than 5 minutes back.

Nightmare Before Christmas ftw!

And of course, you were not able to prove I have beliefs, that I'm pushing them on others, or that they are ignorant. In short, you had no answer, then degraded to this nonsence about using my words against me when in fact the other way round is what stumped you. Storm, seriously, go lie down.

 

[Storm]

Sorry, HH, but all your bluster is pointless. Other people can read, too.

 

[blackout]

So what is it you're saying to yourSelf exactly Violet?

Well, I suppose Violet, I'm saying none of this stuff matters at all.

then why are you posting Violet?

I really have no idea.

 

[blackout]

Nightmare Before Christmas ftw!

the only thing that truly says xmas to me.

*UV is afraid to ask what ftw means...*

 

[sojourner]

Good point, but at least in america, the christmas season has the highest rate of completed and attempted suicide. Is there any reason christmas shouldn't be banned altogether? If so, I don't see it.

Because, in America, the state has no jurisdiction over religious observances.
