jakee 1,259 #80 December 12, 2006 QuoteQuoteI have nothing against "Christian" traditions at all. Just quit claiming annexed traditions as exclusively Christian and that non-Christians who like lighted trees in their homes and who send greetings cards to ther family and friends in the winter are somehow hypocrites. What I said and what you claim I said are quite different. It's about reading comprehension... some thing you, jakee and champu could all improve on. I'm guessing you (all) misread my posts because taking them at face value would require you to set aside your prejudices. When no-one that reads your posts understands what you meant, it is because you are writing them wrong. Learn to express yourself clearly and you'll stop running into problems.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Norris uses the AN-2 when he wants to get somewhere slower than it would normally take him. Why would he want to do that? Who knows?

After 3 pages of debate in which you argued against the viewpoints of myself, kallend and Champu you decided that we were misreading (I took that to mean deliberately misunderstanding) you. Our arguments had been consistent throughout the exchange - why did you only then point out that you meant something different?

Our arguments had been consistent throughout the exchange - why did you only then point out that you meant something different? Admittedly, I did claim you three "misunderstood" my posts. Excuse me while I wipe egg off my face. Getting back to the points being discussed, some of you have essentially claimed that because some Christmas traditions were adopted from other celebrations, they lack legitimacy as Christmas traditions. I think that is an idiotic claim and I explained why. Of course, Champu just said it was false and offered nothing more. Then Kallend said:QuoteJust quit claiming annexed traditions as exclusively Christian It's a charge based on a lie. That's what caused me to respond with:QuoteWhat I said and what you claim I said are quite different. QuoteQuoteQuoteCo-incidence, or cause and effect? This seems completely random.

Sorry you missed that. Your presumptive follow up posts come across as pretty asinine. I'm not sure if they confirm anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExAFO 0 #100 December 13, 2006 QuoteIt seems that the trend in getting rid of Christ from Christmas is to go to wishing people a Happy Holiday. But doesn't the word actually come from Holy day? I would sure hate to offend an agnostic or atheist by wishing them anything to do with a "religion". Maybe the ACLU could come up with something more generic. I wish you a joyous Festivus.Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
