Team Random - 'Critics Roasting On An Open Fire...' by RelFexive

Haha, you posted teh new thread before i posted my post. oops.

and when was Christmas about Jesus? I thought it was just about spending all your money, and toy companies making "mad bank". As Napleon Dynamite would say "Gawd!"

and has anyone had someone say Happy Holidays to them? It just sounds stoopid (unless your a randomite that says it, then your ok). I'm usually just a smart ass and say Merry Christmas back to them...

The way I see it, there's two pagan Christmases at work here.

There's the really old one, the original pagans, who the christians stole it from in the first place. Drinking, partying, dancing and probably alot of nakedness.

And now there's the new one, the one stolen from the christians in the last hundred years or so. Drinking, partying, dancing, and definitely lots of naked, hungry consumerism.

'Happy Holidays' is stupid. That's even more insulting, really, as it insults my intelligence.

Dunno how the American Military is, but the British military is very much "these are officers, you are enlisted, they are better than you."

A colleage of mine has a brother in-law who was disiplined for socialising with him, because his brother in law is enlisted, and he has a Captains rank as civilian support.

A little segragated really.

I saw Santa the other day heading toward a pavillion at my worksite where he was going to be posing for photos with children. Maybe it's just accumulated stress but something in me just snapped and now I have to pass on the sad news that Santa is not going to be coming this Christmas. I disposed of the body under some bags of trash in a dumpster. In retrospect I don't think it was recent stress but more likely the years of pent up anger at Santa not bringing me that pony I repeatedly asked him for. I know I was good during each of those years but the stuff I got might have well been coal cuz one;it was crap and two; it wasn't a frikken pony!
