OK, instead of asking me why I said that, you lash out at me with this load of tripe. Go to hell, S-Ghost.[/heel turn] Read Denyer's post, the one above this one. This is fact, not something I made up.
And besides, if the true meaning was to celebrate the birth of Christ, then why are we besieged with Santa Claus and things like that every year. In the Christian calendar it is regarded as the holiest day of the year. What the bulk of the world celebrates it as, though, is as the exchange of presents because of something some guy in Germany did back in the 13th century or something.
I am a real kind of guy. If something is done to a holiday like this has been, it irritates me. It's the retail world's way of making a buck. Too few people recognize Christmas for what it is supposed to be; more people are sleeping in their beds on Christmas Eve than going to Midnight Mass, I can assure you of that. It's a religious holiday turned into a marketing scheme. It's time to turn it back.
Those are my views, S-Ghost, and you lost a lot of respect from me by lashing out like that, I thought you were more mature. If you don't like what I have to say, too bad, because as I thought you had realized by now, I speak my mind and hold nothing back. So don't ever ask me to keep something to myself. I will not, regardless of who it offends. And I will not beg to be forgiven by you, either.
The minute you catch me saying something that is a bold-faced lie, you are free to do with me as you will. But not otherwise. And since I don't lie, that about does that in.
You need to calm down and either accept my views as they are and give the appropriate apology, or we can feud. It's up to you, but if we do feud, it won't bother me. You know why? Because I am in America, where we are free to have opinions, just like everywhere else. You don't like it, fine. That's your prerogative as much as it is for me to say what I said.
I hope you can be clear on that much.
