I hate Christmas

[Crothian]

Come on people, three more NRA donations for the taking, just send that email.

You can make one in my name

OK, for all you people who think SR is satan incarnate (which seems to be plenty of you). The popular sentiment here appears to be that the spirit of the gift matters more than the gift itself or the desires of the recipient.

Is it OK if I give $20 is each of your names to the Church of Scientology because I think it will make for a better world?

buzzard

What is this? Clever, I think not.

It seems to me that the focus should be on what you're giving, rather than worrying so much about what you're getting. If you believe in Christmas, you've already gotten a bigger Gift than anyone is going to give you now, anyway, right? (Hope that isn't too religious, but the name of the thread does include Christmas, after all. )

And besides, the best revenge is making people feel like crap because of how much cooler, more personal, and better thought out your present to them is than their present to you.

I hate guns, so sign me up...

Storm Raven, what does the preacher at your church think of your view on Christmas?

 

[Crothian]

SR, it sounds like you and your family are very much alike. THat's just based on the little snippets here though.

I think you missed the part about the donation being to the NRA. Sending them money is the last thing you want to do if you hate guns.

 

[diaglo]

My point being that I don't lie or make things up.

Of course maybe you didn't see it that way. Or maybe the fact that it is a gift to a worthy cause is irrelevant because you don't like why I did it. Do you think, objectively, gun safety doesn't make for a better world?

buzzard

i'm on the opposite side of the lobby. i'm pro-gun control

,but great idea buzzard having taken hunter safety as a child on the base (Fort Meade, MD).

as long as guns are legal. teaching the proper way to handle them is good.

I know. I responded in that manner because:

a) I was being funny.

b) If a donation was made in my name as a gift, I would appreciate the gesture.

c) I don't oppose other people's view on guns (I just don't like them personally).

(not multiple choice, all of the above applies)

Money sent to the NRA is money not spent buying guns. You can always look at it that way, I suppose.
