I'm just making this announcement now. On my 1000th post, I'll be temporarily changing my username to my real name. This will last 100 posts, and then I'll switch back. In case you're wondering how I'm doing, well, not so good. Oh, I'm kicking ass in school, but the stuff I can't control keeps blowing up in my face. I invited a girl who is now just a friend to another girl who is just a friend's birthday party, and they're already friends. They haven't seen each other in a while, so I'm reuniting them. Good for me. Meanwhile, due to my final exam schedule, I'm missing every official night of Hanukkah (oh, don't pretend like you didn't know), so my family will just have the nights some other time. You see, this is why Jews don't take Hanukkah seriously. They change the date every year, people are busy for the eight nights, and it's based on one of the lamer Bible stories. They only do it so the kids won't get jealous of the Christians. I'd still argue that Hanukkah is better than Christmas, not because of the eight nights, but because we don't spend money on useless decorations and decaying trees. Anyway, while I'm at it, happy holidays to everybody.

hey I have a fake tree and my mom's the decorating person not me and I don't care who celebrates what it's still a holiday
Alright, Wise, this is just too much. It's bad enough you created that stupid "That's what the main man say" topic to celebrate your 200th post, and that you continue to update that topic even though it serves as nothing more than emotional masturbation, and it's bad enough that you have repeatedly acted like your post count somehow makes you better or more important than the rest of us. I think I speak for the majority when I say that we really don't care.
Hey, I like my "decaying tree" well actually it's plastic and has been around for 15 years or something but it is still slowly decaying. I also like my "useless decorations" although once again they range in age from 5 to 15 years. Finally, I agree with GMP.

Hey, I don't think my post count makes me better than anybody. Anybody can make a lot of posts filled with nothing but "LOL" or some other bullshit. I just do my best to make sure mine have some meaning, even if it is just "emotional masturbation". There's usually a good piece of wisdom or a nice anecdote you can take from those. Besides, what makes you think that informing us about the latest in the world of gay-bashing makes you so fucking noble? It just makes me think that maybe you're in the closet, and you're literally afraid to come out.

It appears that I've hit a few nerves. Well, bah-humbug. Seriously though, you guys are proving a point that I had been considering to myself while writing poems. Word choice can be very powerful. I intentionally chose the word "decaying", knowing the strong subconscious reaction that it would evoke. Since Christmas is something dear to you, you become slightly offended when it's associated with death. Perhaps it scares you, or maybe it just angers you. Whatever the case, wouldn't you agree that you learned something about yourself from this post?
well this centanly is a nest of hornets isn't it
although I'm not going say anything for or against this so I'll just go now

Oh, what? I thought you said you were an atheist.

Oh, in my country we use plastic trees. We don't damage the ecoly as much as you.
And for saying ' Hanukkah is better than Christmas, not because of the eight nights, but because we don't spend money on useless decorations and decaying trees' you're totally missing the point of our party. we celebrate the coming to this world of the greatest Teacher who taught us a religion of love and respect, simple and easier than the cryptic Old...well, that, dunno how to say it in English. It was the most perfect religion ever; lately there came people who corrupted it, but it was flawless at the beginning.
...well, at least that's what we're supposed to celebrate.
And yeah, I'm a Roman Catholic, like 99% of the locals. Though I'm not a practicant, and in fact...I'm in other bussiness as well...
Lord Beelzemon....*gets down on her knees in front of him*
Oh! *looks at people staring at her* Oh, this? I.....uh....ahhhh......I'm.......worshipping... :oops:

Oh, you actually CARE about that?! When I first saw that he wouldn't let us join, I never took a look at it again.

Yes, our religion is corrupted,as well as yours, but man, you haven't discovered America by saying this *moan*

so is "worshiping" all your doing? :)
but you see the thing is he's angry and brutally honest not the best of combinations and that can be a problem sometimes it's kinda like me if I didn't know when to lie so just ignore it if you want he won't stop saying things. that's just how him and people like that are

Weren't you off by a few hundred years! Ever since a little after Jesus died did His religion get corrupted. The papacies, then the barring of women, then the use of "heathens", it's been a long time.
