SAY WHAT???

Let me see if I got this right. Telling children about Santa and the Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy cultivates good manners and good will. Oh, really???

Gee! You really are a moron!!!

I stopped believing in Santa Clause back when I was in Kindergarten. I remember back then, after Christmas vacation when school was back in session, we would bring some of our Christmas gifts to the Kindergarten class for Show And Tell. Well, some of the kids from poor families didn't come wearing any new clothes, or have any new toys or gifts to display for Show And Tell.

Gee, I wonder why that is? Were they bad kids and that's why Santa didn't bring them anything? No, the poor kids were no worse than the kids who were better off. In fact, some of the kids from richer families were rotten brats and bullies.

Maybe Santa doesn't give a fuck about poor families and passes over their homes!

Nah! That could not be it either.

So, at a very early age, I concluded that he did not exist! He was just a fairytale. I also concluded that most adults were fucking liars and had less respect for them.

I think it's wrong to tell these fairytales to kids. It does not foster good manners or good will. In fact, just the opposite. It turns some of the more fortunate ones into obnoxious little twits, and causes the less fortunate to feel bad about themselves. You know, like, HA HA HA SANTA DIDN'T BRING YA ANYTHING!!!

Religion does the same thing! When I was a kid going to Sunday school, even back then, I did not believe that everything was created in just 6 days. I was even told that I was going to Hell because I didn't believe everything. That's a terrible thing to say to a child!

Then, I lost some more respect for adults.

Fairytales and religion is child abuse! I believe anybody who harms children, either physically, sexually, emotionally, and mentally, they deserve to die!

And by the way . . . when I was 17 yeas old, I was beaten and raped by an older man!

Anyway . . . . .

If you found those images to have been disturbing, then, you're just gonna love these!!!

I had posted these in another one of my topics.

BOYCOTT AMAZON!!!
http://www.sportssuck.org/phpbb2/viewto ... f=7&t=1048

The reason why I have been boycotting Amazon is because of a book they were selling that was written by a pedophile, Viamund the Rake aka Octaevius Altair. The book was titled Viamund The Boy/Love Vampyre.

Normally, I'm against censorship, but when it comes to kiddie porn, I draw the line, because kiddie porn is NOT freedom of speech.

Oh! A pedophile who likes to fuck little children might think it's freedom of speech, but it is in fact, slavery. In order to produce kiddie porn, children are coerced, threatened, and intimidated into posing for kiddie porn. All kind of methods of coercive persuasion are used. Children are entrapped and enslaved.

Therefore, kiddie porn is NOT FREE SPEECH, IT IS SLAVERY! And slavery was abolished in the USA after The Civil War, so kiddie porn should be abolished because it's slavery, and NOT free speech.

Anything that exploits another human being is NOT free speech, but slavery!

So, I've been boycotting Amazon, and I have gone to Barns & Nobel instead, because they will not have that viol piece of garbage in their book stores.

Yeah, I remember a couple of years back, there was a movie I wanted to see titled "Creation" which was produced in the UK. It's about the life of Charles Darwin, about his life as a family man, his loving wife, and although she was a Christian, she supported her husband in writing and finally getting his book "Origin Of The Species" published. Also, it was not his theory of evolution that caused him to lose faith in God, but rather, the tragic death of his daughter.

Anyway . . . . .

The movie is not going to be available in the USA. So, I will never get to see that movie. If I want to see the movie, I will have to move to the UK, but I can't see it here, because America is not a free country anymore.

Ah! But some pedophile can get rich publishing his book about fucking little boys!

I use to support the ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, but not anymore. Now, they're working with NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association to get the age of consent laws lowered to a younger age, and eventually, to abolish the age of consent laws.

That means, rich old men who smell bad get to fuck your babies.

Ah! But the Republicans and the Christard Funny-mentalists want to ban the teaching of Evolution, and insert their mind destroying fairytales into high school science textbooks.

Kids don't get to learn science, and they're not even allowed to have candy or soda in school, in the name of fighting obesity. In some schools, kids get their lunchboxes searched, and any candy or cakes they might have are confiscated, and the kids get sent home with a note for their parents.

Ah! But guess what kiddies!!!

After the age of consent laws are finally repealed, you'll get to have someone's dirty smelly old uncircumcised smegma encrusted penis thrust in your mouth!

But we don't want you to bring cup cakes and candy to school in your lunchbox, we will confiscate those items, and we don't want you reading science books unless they also include Creationism.

YEAH RIGHT!

Image

Well, I'm just glad the Christard Funny-mentalists in our State Board of Education were sent packing! Yeah, they were told to pack their Gucci bags and HIT THE ROAD!

Anyway . . . . .

I believe that pedophiles, and rapists should get the death penalty. As I had mentioned before, back when I was 17 years old, I was beaten and raped by an older man. It really messed me up emotionally and mentally, and it takes a long time, if ever, to recover from something like that!

The rapists or the pedophile my go to prison for a number of years, but the victim gets a life sentence. No, not in a jail, but rather, a life sentence of remembering the rape, and having to live with the memory of a brutal and violent attack for the rest of one's life. One never gets over it entirely.

That's why I advocate the death penalty for rapists and pedophiles.

And every family with children should keep one of these handy spry cans around.

Sorry, but you're still a moron!

I can't respect someone who says that telling children about Santa Clause cultivates good manners and good will, when in fact, it does just the opposite! It turns kids from rich families into conceited and arrogant little twats, and causes children from poor families to feel more inferior.

Christmas discriminates against the poor, and against people who have no families. After my dear mother passed on back in the summer of 1985 I was living all alone, and ever since, I have never been in the mood for Christmas, and I hadn't had a tree since then.

Back in the 1980's under the Reagan Regime' with it's "Family Values" President, those of us who had no families were made to feel like we weren't true American citizens. We were made to feel like shit, like, it's my own damn fault that my parents were deceased.

I was living in Las Cruces New Mexico at the time. I tried to apply for a grant to go back to college again, but I was turned down.

My brother on the other hand, since he was married, had a wife and two little boys, he was able to get financial aid, and a grant to go to college.

My own brother was a conservative Republican, and he treated me like shit.

Christmas was the time of the year I hated most, being all alone in my home, no company, just being all by myself. I would go out to do my shopping, and one day I was in the mall where they had this life-sized singing reindeer. I couldn't stand it.

I just got back on my motorcycle and went home, and broke down and cried myself to sleep.

I HATE CHRISTMAS!

It's for rich Republicans and their spoiled rotten brats who will eventually grow up to become either football coaches or multi-millionaire television evangelists fleecing their moronic sheep-like followers!

So, once again . . . . .

FUCK YOU!!!

Oh! I just love the card playing euphemism. But my all time favorite is "GET OVER IT!" another beloved standard ol' cliché from the far right! I'm surprised you didn't toss that one in for good measure!

The only reason I brought up my past was because you asked if I had a problem with anger management, so I felt the need to point out why I'm angry, and that I have a good justifiable reason for my anger.

If you really didn't want to know, then you should not have asked.

So, how am I suppose to feel? Am I suppose to feel good about all the Hell I've been put through?

NEVER ask someone who has been beaten and bullied around, or someone who has been beaten and raped (as I was when I was 17 years old) if they have an anger management problem, or if they're angry!

Of course I'm angry! Like, DUH! What the fucking Hell do ypou expect!

Am I suppose to say WWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I like getting plowed up the wazoo! Eh?

You really are a fucking MORON!!!

GO FUCK YOURSELF!

You sound like a Republican!

GO KISS AN ELEPHANT'S ASS!!!

Gee! You really are a moron!!!
It seems that your definition of a moron is anybody who has a different opinion than yourself. I wouldn't view Weltall's post as moronic, regardless of whether or not I agree with his opinion. You just likely have had different personal experiences involving the subject compared to Weltall, and that is why your opinions differ. When I was at the age where most kids still believed in Santa Claus, there weren't really any kids who were really poor. It wasn't a rich school or anything, but no one was actually poor. So in my personal experiences, there weren't any kids who were left out during Christmas and it never really did any harm. I don't really have an opinion on Santa Claus because it doesn't seem to have a large impact on anything; it doesn't benefit anyone greatly, and it doesn't cause anyone a significant amount of harm. But then again, I must be a moron, so what does my opinion matter?

No, I don't think somebody is moronic because I happen to disagree with somebody.

For example: political issues like gun control, taxes, the economy, etc. etc.

I only call someone a moron when what they say is obviously so fucking stupid, like when Safety once said in another topic, that Charles Darwin and Galileo were burning down in Hell.

OK, I guess I need to be more specific here.

What is moronic is when Weltall said . . .
. . . they are made for children to experience sillyness, joy, happiness, and cultivate good manners and goodwill . . .
OK, there is nothing wrong with little silliness, joy, and happiness. I'm all for that!

I wish I had a little bit more silliness, joy, and happiness in my life, but instead, I had received mostly brutality, and harassment from ignorant morons.

But I fail to see how a belief in Santa cultivates good manners and goodwill.

I have too often seen the exact opposite.

I have seen too many examples of how Christmas turns a lot of people in greedy selfish little gimme-gimmes! And where I lived, we did have a lot of poor kids coming to school after Christmas wearing the same worn out old clothes that they wore before Christmas, and while some kids brought some of their new toys to class for Show And Tell, a lot of poor kids had nothing to bring for Show And Tell.

When I was a little kid, me, and my brother, and my sister, when we were little kids, our mother would read bedtime stories to us, like Mother Goose or Grimm's Fairy Tales, and of course, we knew those weren't real, that they were just make believe.

There is nothing wrong with fantasy, as long as you know it's only fantasy.

I have read The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis and I'm starting on Harry Potter.

My favorite was the Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake.

And of course, I love science fiction novels.

So, I love a good fantasy once in a while.

But I have to say, that people, especially adults, who actually believe in fairy tales, sorry, but they are dangerous morons!

Perfect example: Christard Funny-mentalist who want to control what goes into science textbooks, like, their Creationist fairy tale about (do I have to repeat this again?) about a man made from a lump of dirt, a woman made from one of his ribs, and that they were placed in a magic garden with a magic tree with magic fruit they weren't suppose to eat, and they were tempted into doing so by a talking snake with legs.

When I was a kid, I once got slapped across my face by my Sunday school teacher in church because I couldn't by into it. Even back when I was only in the second grade I thought that story was only a myth, a fairy tale.

And we have all these millionaire Republicans who are Christard Funny-mentalists and who are anti-science, attempting to pass more and more draconian legislation to restrict our freedom and access to information, and wanting to insert their Creationist fairy tales into science textbooks.

So, to express my anger toward these right-wing fairy tale believers, I posted my images of the dead Santa, dead Easter Bunny, dead Tooth Fairy, and dead stork!

I would like to send these off in some E-mails to every one of those idiots and tell them that they all seriously need to . . . . .

GROW THE FUCK UP!

Fuck! I don't know!

Maybe they get a lump of coal or a rotten potato in their Christmas stockings!

Now, if you don't behave, the Easter Bunny will bring you a basket of rotten eggs!

Go way little boy!

And for people like me, who live alone, and have no family, Christmas is the saddest time of the year. I get really depressed during Christmas.

Also, there is more drunkenness and spousal abuse during the holidays and the suicide rates even go up during Christmas.

So, what's that about a belief in Santa cultivating good manners and good will?

Maybe I'm the moron who is without a clue!

Like, DUH!!!

So because some kids, decide to be selfish and greedy, the whole holiday is crap is that what you're trying to say? what about those kids, parents, families who do gather and have a blast of a time and even if all people have a terrible time is because it's christmass? you blame people's action on the holidays? you blame the people, tell them to change. not put up a bloody axe to santa or anything similar. Also if you are lonely on the holidays why not spend them with some friends, if you have no friends go out and know people, be friends and stop being lonely since it's making you quite a douche

I'd like to make a comment at this point. This forum does not have a party line. No one here speaks for the rest of us (few, though, there may be).


Oh, get real, Earl. There's no "may" about it. This forum hardly has any active members now. This forum hardly has any life. Sometimes I think this forum's days are numbered.


Before I continue with my rambling, though, I must say that most of the supporters of this website just leave a single message or two in the "Letters" column, the Guestbook, or even the forum and go on with their lives. In other words, the number of currently active members of this forum is not an accurate guage of just how many people there are who either have no interest in sports or actually find fault with the sports culture.


(Notice, any sports fans who may happen to be reading this -- just in case -- I'm not putting down games or voluntary recreation. In other words, despite the claims of those who hate this website -- such as many of the A2K members -- we're not a bunch of killjoys. Well, at least most of us aren't. Who am I kidding? Is anyone reading this?)


Anyway, to get back to what I was saying, to give just an example -- you know, "few, though, there may be" (of us) -- Fat Man and I happen to know each other personally. We have frequent long-distance phone conversations. Yet there are striking differences between the two of us. I happen to be one of those "funny mentalists" who believes in the Genesis account of creation *gasp* :shock: (a "fairy tale" in Fat Man's estimation; an article of faith from my own point of view). Since he's disabled, Fat Man is not physically active. I work with a personal trainer at a health club on a bodybuilding program, which is something I should have started when I was a teenager instead of late in life at the age of 57. Fat Man is very active politically; I don't even vote because I gave up on politics a long time ago. I'd have to violate my conscience on one issue or another (well, actually, more than one, regardless of the party) to support either party; and, as far as I'm concerned, the Libertarian Party is out of the question.


When I was young, I was politically liberal. One reason why is because I grew up under Jim Crow and saw how unjust it was and therefore ended up supporting civil rights legislation, which was a liberal initiative (not a conservative one). But liberalism went from support for civil rights for racial, ethnic, and religious minorities to support for same-sex marriage -- which, in my opinion, is one of the most radical, idiotic ideas I've ever heard in my life. Call me a "homophobe," if you please. I couldn't care less.


One of the founders of this website -- Ray, the site admin -- is a conservative Republican. No, I'm not a Republican; I said I gave up on politics a long time ago. The point is simply this: Those of us who find fault with the sports culture are not clones of one another. We're a diverse group, and no one speaks for the others regarding any other issue.


Now, you three go ahead and continue with your controversy, if you please. It's fun! :)
