On a more positive note...

Don't you realize that their view is from a much, much deeper and intellectually superior perspective. How dare you challenge them!

I don't see how a nation without Dew can be described as such

It would seem that the positive note has taken a definite negative leaning. On a positive note, G'morning (my time zone)!!!

I know I may regret asking this, but where'd the 'fuzzy' in 'fuzzygeek' come from?

Anytime either of those two chime in, I try not take it too serious... I think they're just venting anger from some other problems in their life

Just give 'em some space

Or you do what I did and put them on the ignore list. It was actually quite entertaining to see two full pages of nothing but "Posted by Rich....this post has been removed because user is on your ignore list......Posted by ColinEssex....this post has been removed..." over and over.

Sounds much better for the blood pressure

Yeah, then you can transpose what a decent person may say...

Sorry all my American friends, I've been such a jack-ass with my attitude thing... I'll try and be nice from now on.

Fuzzygeek comes from a computer generated password list about 1991. I saw the name and really thought it was "neat". When I established my account here, I used it. No great mystery about my hair or lack thereof.

Those angry anti-Christmas Brits choose to view Christmas as a paganistic commercially driven and celebrated holiday. They seem to ignore that there are still a good deal of people out there that still celebrate it for its Christian meaning. But then again I would expect much different from our aethiest friends from across the way.

Why attack the Jehovah Witnesses, they're not here to defend themselves

 

[Rich]

Me too, otherwise I would have been convinced that saturnalia was still being celebrated by millions every year

It is, it's just been re-named by the men in frocks

Neither is 'W', but that don't stop you from attacking him

That's a good one. I'm just playing with you guys, that's all.

Bring him on, bring him on

Millions of people celebrate the winter solstice every year? I thought only a few crazy Brit druids get up to that kind of thing at Stonehedge.

They use it only as another excuse to get stoned and party

You do talk a load of boll**** Ken!!!! we are quite open to be challenged

The ancient Brits used to celebrate a pagan festival in December, they did this by decorating trees because they (quite rightly) felt that the trees were special. So they danced, sang drank alot and had a good old knees up and had a really good time.

Meanwhile the christian folk who celebrated the birth of their dictator later in the year didn't get a really good turn out because people thought it was all shite and make believe based on a fairy tale.

So, the christians moved their dictators birthdate to coincide with the pagan festival in order to cash in on the pagan popularity - then they claimed that huge numbers celebrated because of their leaders birth - which of course is total nonsence.

So, thats why people decorate trees at pagan festival time in December - religion and christianity has nothing to do with it - its the christian overlords that dictated when their leader was born.

Its totally wrong to bring religion into what is now called "christmas" let alone try to claim a pagan festival as a religious event.
