Let's have a brief ceasefire and be homies for a while.

We may think other people here have really reprehensible opinions. We may even dislike each other because of it. But to be honest, how much do we actually personally affect? None of our bitching, moaning, complaining, or debating really has a measurable effect. We clash all the time, but what is the result of those clashes? Nothing changes except our blood pressure.

So here's to you, opinionated ones! Raising my beer up, because honestly, we should take time now and again to remind ourselves that we're all human beings and in roughly the same boat. I hope everybody here had a relaxing holiday.

Dr. Ama won't be visiting this thread!

Merry Christmas!

Why would Xmas offend anyone? My understanding is the X is like a greek Chi for Christ.

12/25/2009 10:46:18 PM

oh Christ, here we go...

12/25/2009 10:56:00 PM

Duke, will you agree to ban anybody that argues in this thread?

12/25/2009 11:07:21 PM

a soap box thread that doesn't somehow spiral into arguing would be a christmas miracle.

12/25/2009 11:08:52 PM

^^^^I don't know, lol. I'm a Christian, not a big deal at all to me. Half of it is probably just so someone can be pissed off just to be pissed off. But I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

A pity I'd get in until after Christmas.

I don't think the arguing here affects anything directly, but it has certainly made me more capable, which many of you will hopefully one day come to rue when I have some position of authority, however pathetic and limited

If you believe in that whole xmas thing

12/26/2009 1:25:41 AM

christmas is just the result of christians co-opting the Pagans' Winter Solstice and the mystery cult celebration of the birth of Mithras.

so why should this time be any special importance?

besides, I celebrate "Festivus" which has the tradition of the Annual Airing of the Grievances.

So... Happy Festivus, you bastards. I hate you all.

Today, I raise my glass to all secular humanists--including the OP! If everyone agreed with me, the world would be a very boring place indeed.

And Merry Christmas, McDanger.

Merry Belated Christmas to one and all!

12/27/2009 6:53:39 PM

Merry Christmas, everybody!

12/27/2009 8:10:43 PM

Well damn, I thought I got in on this when it was actually time appropriate. Merry Belated Christmas! I look forward to advocating for the unmolested existence of plants and non-human animals with you all for another year.

12/27/2009 10:15:44 PM

Merry Christmas everyone!

12/28/2009 9:39:20 AM
