I celebrate Christmas by drinking lots of Jack Daniels and masturbating on pictures of men cut out from hardcore porn magazines.

So Republicans like to convene to save vegetables and now convene to recognize little plastic baby Jesuses? That's just stupid. I haven't seen anything this stupid since the Star Search spokesmodel competition.

It's a good think Jesus died so long ago. There wouldn't be any room for him on the cross today.


:D

Psst... there's this thing called "The Internet." It's new. You no longer have to spend money on porno magazines.

Here are the 22 Senators who voted not to recognize Christmas. Well, they voted AGAINST the bill to recognize Christmas and its symbols. Notice a trend?


They are the ones who don't deserve a kick in the ass for wasting precious time on a non-issue. Christmas was never in danger in the first place. This issue is the evil twin of political correctness, which is equally inane.

I guess it is pretty profound to constantly lie about things until people that don't have access to truthful information believe you.


I suggest just to start with you read Swift and Sterne and do some research on nineteenth-century broadsheets.

What the fuck is up with the "War on Christmas"? Do you people not have enough to do?

All this shit because someone takes offense to the phrase Happy Holidays! That is THE STUPIDEST FUCKING ARGUMENT IN THE WORLD. Seriously, it is.

Let us look at the word holiday.

[Middle English holidai, holy day, from Old English hālig dæg : hālig, holy; see holy + dæg, day; see day.]

Hmmmm...holy day. So all these holier than thou Christians are upset because we refer to the day of the birth of their savior as a holy day? Am I missing something here?

So you want it not to be a holy day but a day of tacky decorations and pagan tree worship?

This entire fucking thread is retarded. It's worse than retarded. It is the equivalent of a retarded person falling off a cliff and landing on their head. Even then, the level of stupidity is to close to call.


God I love you!

It's pretty surprising how the amount of people disconnected from reality the way you are has grown so much in the last few years. Have you noticed how rabid you are about this sort of thing? Do you know where that rabidness is going to lead you in the coming years? It's not going to be good for you. It's time to grow up.

Um. Republicans are rather annoying aren't they? With all their fear mongoring, poo slinging, racisim, classisim, gay bashing, women hating, and twisted moral ideals.

Stankleberry, you are "new." Either you are only here to fling poo or an alt so you can fling poo in desguise. Doesn't matter to me. Please drive through. Cheers.

What are you talking about? You only have a few more posts than me. I am not an alt, I just started using this thing this week. Did I mong fear and sling poo and have racism and classism and bash a gay and hate a woman and twist a moral? I don't believe that I did. So maybe you should calm down and drive through yourself.

I applaud those guys. I don't recognize Christmas either so I am glad they agree with me. :)
