After the morning presents were opened, I've concluded that my parents are a
little nuts. Underwear is not a stocking-stuffer. My siblings agree with me
on this. Nor can I explain the foot massager-bubble bath thing. Does anyone
actually look at people's christmas lists? Of course, I gave some rather odd
gifts as well, but my little sister was very happy with her doorknob. I did
get a good book and some polymer clay & tools. Very weird holiday...

The only X-Files item I got was a calendar. My favorite gifts were my Powerpuff
Girls and a stuffed Orioles bear commemorating Cal Ripken, Jr.'s 400th home
run. And my giant cup (like they use on Friends). Oh, wait, and my movie
posters (which I had already picked out): Man on the Moon, Princess Monoke, and
The Blair Witch Project.

Finally managed to convince most of my friends and relatives that I
don't celebrate Christmas or any other December holiday. But that
didn't stop a few X-Mas loving people from giving me gifts.
I got:
*A Cuisinart Pro (from the mother-in-law)
*Bartending Guide (also from MIL)
*X-Files Yearbook (from my boss at work)
*HUGE box of cookies (also from my boss)
After a year of following this newsgroup, I can't believe I'm
delurking to answer a non-X-Files question, about a holiday
I don't even celebrate :)

Supporting him? Nope. Quite the contrary. I just used the same disk

words, I cut Gates out of half the profits he would've goten from my
family.
Far from supporting him, it was my small way of fighting against him.

If you're talking about the materialism of Christmas, that's not what
it's really about anyway, so you could continue to celebrate the
holiday without the "loot."
If, on the other hand, you're talking about your vaunted communism
and how you don't value material things, the fact that you own the
things that you do (like your computer and TV) already blew your
credibility there, so why bother?

Anyhow, for Christmas I got 6 CDs, lots of books (including Resist or Serve,

Hello all
Hope you had a lovely day... even if, like Michelle, you didn't celebrate
it!
My folks gave me money to go to England at the beginning of the month. I
also got from family and friends: Silver jewellery,
perfume,
clothes,
a chrome and glass coffee set - that's my third coffee pot - never can be
enough coffee pots!
Software for my pc
A Buzz Lightyear mouse and mousemat (in blue!)
An alien that screams when you throw it at hard objects (like my brother's
head!)
An imitation mobile phone.
Cal
indulging in more chocolate than even *she* thought possible to eat!
Lots and lots of chocolate.

From my family:
- A blue windbreaker
- A pair of Express jeans that don't fit
- Two shirts
- A book on synesthesia (this weird mental/perceptual condition I found out I
have a couple of months ago)
- Lots of GOOD FOOD
And of course, my little bong. ;-)
-*perelandra*-
of course, the best part of Christmas was the FOOD. :)

Yeah, I'm sure Bill Gates is feeling the sting of your guerilla
consumerism as we speak. Sean it's time to face the truth, you're a member
of a privileged class who doesn't have a clue about working class
consciousness. I've been on union negotiating committees for Public
Service workers, have worked as a fork lift operator, roustabout, social
services technician, and an SEIU shop steward for my county local.
I've had dirt under my fingernails, I also have callouses as my dad and
grandparents before me. So, what are your qualifications for this social
revolution? :) How do you think you can approach the workers in the U.S.
with your ideas? In order to talk to the workers you have to be like the
workers.

Hey, Jim!
I was a little unclear. My folks gave me the money at the beginning of
December and I spent 2 and a bit fun filled days in London going to a Duran
concert in Earl's court and re-aquainting myself with my spiritual home of
The Warners Store!
But hopefully, I'll pop over for a few days next year.
Would have been nice to hook up.

Actually, I do not accept either the materialist or the religious
aspect of Christmas, so why would I celebrate it at all? From now on
my winter celebrations are restricted completely to peaceful,
naturalistic observance of the Winter Solstice.

Of course.
Do I lead the life I want to lead right now? Hell no. I've been
brought up in this kind of life, and I'm trying to escape from it.
It's made me weak. I am still tempted by things that advantage myself.
I have only begun to realise how I *should* be living my life in the
past year and a half. So are there things I want to change about my
life? Yes. Do I want to better understand work? Yes. Do I want to
advance my consciousness to the point where I am ready to give up my
own property? Yes, and as soon as possible.
You're preaching to the choir, comrade. Any objections you can make
against my personal lifestyle and how hypocritical it is are but mere
pricks compared to the stinging whip of my own self-criticism,
practised in private.

Dear, the boy is not old enough to be a member of *any* class yet, other
than his high school graduating class. At least let him *get* a life before
you start telling him what kind he leads. All you can do at this point is
criticize his parents' lifestyle, not his.
I see Sean as someone who is torn between respect for his family and disdain
for some of their beliefs. It's a tough position to be in, and I think he
shows both courage and consideration in standing by his principles without
causing those who shelter him unnecessary grief.
Expressing disdain for a younger person's lack of experience is like
shooting fish in a barrel. Anyone can do it, but what's the point?

Yes, but it takes until you're 29. For the first time, Santa got me
clothing that I actually liked. Granted I'm picky at times, but when I
lay out simple ground-rules (like no flowers) and they keep violating
those rules... I got nice wonderful single colored garments that fit.
Happy sigh.
As for the foot massager-bubble bath thing, I bought one for my
sister-in-law-to-be this Christmas because she coveted the one at my
other brother's house. They (along with soothing water features gift)
are sweeping the nation.

Less talk would be a good start.As it stands,all the b.s.
you spout around here holds no more validity for me than Jethro Bodine

Hey, Bill, the last thing I need is condescension from someone who
hasn't even the ability to use that bourgeois education of his to
learn how to punctuate correctly.
No, I correct that. The *last* thing I need is to give a flying fig

The point is that people's beliefs change and evolve over time. At
least you should hope they do. If you stay static, then you aren't
having experiences or growing. When I was 17, I had lots of
fundamental beliefs too. I now think that most of them were terribly
naive and came from lots of book-learning and very little personal
experience. By the time you're 30, I would bet you'll be able to say
the same.
However, you don't give yourself this room to grow. You refuse
to believe that anyone older than you could have any more
perspective on life than you have. The sheer egoism of this
standpoint offends some people, but others just think it's a
shame because you're a smart kid and there's a lot that you
could learn if you'd just be a little more open to the idea that
not all the answers are written down in books.
Being too sure of yourself is a sign of immaturity. That's all
I'm saying.

Well, the sheer egoism of the standpoint many people have that they
refuse to believe anyone *younger* than them could have any
perspective on life offends *me*.
So let's just call it even and move on to another acrimonious
argument.

That's all he can do right now. As he's said many times, he's out in the
boonies without even a car.
There's nothing pointless or innocuous about talking. Martin Luther King
did a lot of talking. So did Hitler. The world hasn't been quite the same
since. Not that I'm saying Sean is anywhere near as eloquent and
mesmerizing as these people, but perhaps they weren't at 17 either.

If you don't like what he has to say, you don't have to read it. I know
that's a cliche, but it wouldn't have to get said over and over if people
didn't keep saying "Shut up!" instead of just ignoring people whose ideas
offend them.
News flash... just because a person's ideas offend YOU personally doesn't
mean he should be silenced. Now *that's* communism as practiced in the real
world.
I enjoy Sean's posts, though what I enjoy is his wit and his intelligence,
not his politics. When I see him winding up for another rant, I just mark
that post as read (red?) and move on. But you don't notice me telling him
to shut up. I'm not afraid of anything he has to say. He can say it all he
wants.

Watchbands can be changed for less than $10. Just seems wasteful of
resources to buy a new watch instead of simply replacing the band.
