bush_cheney2004 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Yes I know. Intelligence isn't you strong suit and definitive clarification just goes over your head.

Guest TrueMetis Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 You're leaving out quite a lot. Have you read about native religious rituals and customs? Craaaaazzzyyy! There's even magic involved! All religions involve magic, the christian god spoke the universe into existence that's an incantation. Quote
Bonam Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 All religions involve magic That should say all Abrahamic religions. There are Eastern religions that don't prominently contain anything that we'd consider magic. Quote

jbg Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 We use the Canadian definition: 4pus·sy noun \ˈpu̇-sē\ plural pus·sies Definition of PUSSY slang : a weak or cowardly man or boy : wimp, sissy Yup that's it! Mr. Internet tough guy...right... Doesn't bother me in the least, cause I ain't Canadian. Your sexist insults are obsolete and ineffective. Try again. It is fascinating that you and other like minded miscreants retreat to the identical sexual insecurities when trying to deal with a single pesky American. Yes I know.

sharkman Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 The thread is about the over-commercialization of Christmas. It's downright depressing to have to wade through pages of insults to get to substantive posts. I'm with you, people that don't have anything to say seem to have some kind of defense mechanism. My wife and I are really downgrading the gift giving part of Christmas. Both our families did the same this year. I was at my in-laws for Christmas and the gifts that were exchanged (limit $30) for the most part did not impress. Then you have one person hurt that the gift she gave wasn't appreciated by another and so on. We are, all pretty much upper middle class income wise and no one really needs anything. My mother-in-law, who doesn't observe the spending limit, probably spends close to $100 on each (8 including grandkids) and she's retired and shouldn't be doing that! Anyway, I think we are going to start doing a Christmas trip instead of gift giving, spending time with family is what makes the season special, not whether they gave you something good enough. Quote
pfezziwig Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 It's not a problem with Christmas, we are consumers throughout the year, just buying more before Christmas. I too am tired of our shallow consumerism driven lifestyle and have been slowly starting to enjoy Christmas for more tradional reasons as I grow older and have become a parent, enjoying the company of loved ones and helping the needy (more donations are made before Christmass than any other time of year). It's your choice what to do at Christmas time. Quote Healthcare Reviews , rate your doctor, dentist, hospital and more
jbg Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 More on this subject (link): If you think it's ever OK just to make the minimum payment then yes it's a personal problem. I'll even forgive times where you lose your job. But that can't be a majority of the people with credit problem, at some point it's gotta be a lack of proper money management skills.

The mental anguish from this cult should make it illegal I hope that girl you dated escaped unscathed Quote

I hope that girl you dated escaped unscathed I think so, no bruises where the fur lined cuffs were and no marks.......oh, you meant from the Church? Well....she was black listed or whatever you call it. She had a little confusion when it came to deciding which sex she preferred. I told her she didnt have to decide anytime soon.(for obvious reasons) Quote
