I see you are displaying the hypocrisy so typical of the politically correct. You are showing total disrespect for my feeling and wishes. This is because political correctness is all about APPEARING to show tolerance and respect for others (i.e. particular groups who fall into the 'must not offend' category). It's all about show. The fact is I'm right and you know it, but you can't stand that either.

If you like 'A Christmas Carol', Don't read this. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge appears to be that of a man who undergoes a life altering experience that changes him from a mean spirited miser to a loving and generous person. But what really changed him? First visited by the spirit of his dead partner and the prospect of sharing his fate in the afterlife, he passes it off as 'something I ate'. He sees what he has lost in the past and shuts it out, the present only moves him a little at the prospect of Tiny Tim dying. Visions of the future sale of his possessions only anger him, and means little, only when faced with the prospect of his own imminent death does his strong sense of self-preservation kick in and he adopts a changed attitude towards others. His subsequent actions are primarily to save his own life. However as a shrewd business man I'm sure he would discover that his new found benevolence had it's rewards. He may have taken smaller profits on each deal but his new manner would have lead to many more deals, as he would have been much more pleasent to work with. While this would lead to more paperwork his clerk, with a substantial raise and much gratitude, would work even harder to keep up and please his boss. All in All Scrooge's business would have improved and he would have learned that by giving a little he got much more in return. He would have become even more wealthy, just by feigning good will and a loving nature.

If you are making a feeble attempt at comparing me with Scrooge, then you are way off mark. I like xmas although it always makes me quite sad. It must be horrible for all the children who get nothing, with all the commercialism and constant bombardment of advertising, and there are a lot of those who will always get nothing, and not necessarily because they are poor either. Even the poorest people can find some way to make sure their children get something. Strangers often smile at me and say hello. I do it back. I just have no time for shallow PC dickheads and hypocrisy.

No Veggie you don't understand, that covers your holiday too. And I do mean it. I indeed want you to be happy and celebrate life, as if on holiday.

Again look who's calling the kettle black, one of the blacked hearts I've seen in a long time. I should call you Grinch from now on.

I sort of liked you for about 5 minutes. Now you've shown your 'true colours' (literally).

Feelings aren't rational or irrational. They just are. How rational is it for a woman who has been raped to then hate all men? Not rational at all, but perfectly understandable. I've yet to encounter an American who proves me wrong.

How many Americans have you met, that you have looked at the individual instead of the label.

That you see my words as meaning that which is contained in your mind, is your prerogative, yet you're completely wrong as to my meaning. Yet your completely right in not being able to understand it any other way, as you're apparently completely stuck on yourself. And that's OK too. That you're sick is not your fault. But veggie there are in fact more people in the world than you, that matter.

LOL. You prove me right with every post.
No, you get lost more and more in your delusion that you are clairvoyant. That only your belief matters.

Not so 'Mr nice PC guy' now then.
If you believe that Mr. nice guy has to be your whipping post, for you to consider them nice, you're more screwed up than I've previously thought.

This isn't exactly a forum for making friends,
Because you'll see to that right?

but that's more in its favour than anything.
So you realize that you're not very effective after all.

No 'mob rule', which is rare on the internet.
Mob rule is when any majority gang up on a minority. And it happens not only on the internet, but sometimes in this forum.

Actually I already have two vile yank nut-jobs stalking my every move.
So you are delusional, then. A bit paranoid too. With your nasty demeanor, it's no wonder you believe it. Guilty conscience?

You aren't exactly a likable lot.
This is indeed your problem, your delusion allows you to blame any particular group, for the crimes of individuals, as it makes it easy that way, huh? Then your work is done, no need to actually consider anything new, the old dog learns of no new tricks. It's a cake walk! Lazy anyone?

I'm not 'scared' to say where I'm from.
Sure you are. You blame entire countries of people because of individuals, so you're scared that you'll be judged in the same way. God forbid veggie is considered responsible for anything bad, huh? You'll make sure of it.

It's just irrelevant and none of anyone else's business.
I could care less where you're from, because unlike you, I would never hold you accountable for anything anyone else in your country has done.

You choose to say where you are from and that's YOUR prerogative.
Yes it is, but more importantly, I don't 'fear' being judged for anyone else's crimes, I know what I am and what I stand for. I can admit that there are those in my country that are screwed up.

I think you mean 'I couldn't care less' surely?
So you are 'capable' of understanding even though someone makes a mistake on the fly. But of course your personality type just has to try and feel good at another's expense, it's the way you qualify your existence.

And I've never asked you where you are from. I could NOT care less!
Yet you abuse me simply because of where I'm from.

That really pissed you off didn't it. You know, the fact that I put down those that need to play the "My countries, better than your country," game, to feel good about themselves. That's what's gotten you so pissy huh?

You need to grow up and stop holding yourself above others, as if your shit doesn't stink. You're just like everyone else, a product of your environment, as you struggle to try and change your stars.
