My final word: My birthday is December 24, and year after year, I'm STILL upstaged by this Christ fellow! ;)— December 13, 2009 3:02 a.m.

"Third, to wm97: re: ALL. Great way to open the debate. Just call me stupid. Way to go. How about I call you a son of a camel, and then try to rebut your opinion? Would you listen. No, just like I am not going to address your polarized point of view." cloud9driver, wm97 did not call you stupid--just a few of your ideas, and s/he did start a civilized discussion, taking the time to address each one of your points with painstaking attention to detail. I can't imagine why you don't find enough response here for a reasonable debate. Sure, wm97 may not be open to all of your points, but that happens within reasonable debate. So far, I am finding wm97's rebuttals against your idea of large government regulation of marijuana to be logical and very strong. Give me an alternate view to consider? :)— December 13, 2009 2:50 a.m.

I still don't get it, refried. You are defending a populist idea of "Christmas." Fine, but why to the exclusion of other commonly celebrated holidays during the same season? Where you live, "Feliz Navidad" is the most appropriate greeting, but where I live and have lived, "Happy Holidays" is sure to cover all. Forcing "Merry Christmas" on everyone alike doesn't do anything to "defend" or preserve Christmas--that's up to individual families, and there are plenty of them--to do by celebrating it (and by supporting the economy--let's not forget the REAL reason for the season). If I said "Merry Christmas" to people in my comparative literature department at school in NYC, more than a few eyebrows would have been raised, as just about every major religion and background is represented within one group of people. It isn't as diverse here, but it is diverse enough that it is appropriate to accommodate everyone you can. So--depending on where you live, it can be arrogant, presumptuous, and just plain ignorant to force one's particular holiday greeting on everyone else, knowing many many people celebrate Hanukkah, not Christmas.— December 13, 2009 2:37 a.m.

re: #2: Why are they calling it free running now? It is called parcours, isn't it? Started in France, used to see guys doing it in the banlieues (project buildings)...— December 13, 2009 1:48 a.m.

Forget the housing crisis! I'm going to buy #84, the "Jhon E Cash Resort and Country Club" model, and live in it! Did ya see it? It's like a swank restau or alpine cabin! Now: Just need to find a vacant lot and kick off the bums!— December 13, 2009 1:46 a.m.

re: #25, 26: Fumber, thy work is sheer poetry. Such delicate, vivid imagery. re:#24: I know this to be true from personal experience, mirror. Going to stand in a patch of sunlight when it has been gloomy, feels just like the skin is hungrily drinking in the sun in like a glass of milk ;)— December 12, 2009 9:43 p.m.

"Limo drivers will deliver clients to their newly legal escorts business establishment. Nothing not to like here." Did I read this wrong-- are we still talking about grapes & grains, or another of "god's" gifts subject to strict regulation? ;)— December 12, 2009 10:56 a.m.

I hope Yule have a Merry Christmas, MorgansDead! Sorry, couldn't resist. Thanks for keepin' the faith and teaching openmindedness in the thick of the Belt ;)— December 12, 2009 7:53 a.m.
Saved From Suicide
re: #16: "One Coronado bridge jumper survived and now drives across the bridge daily to his job at the North Island Navy Base." Well, Ponzi--you say he's one of the 5% to survive, and drives the bridge daily--what were the health consequences? Was he paralyzed?— December 12, 2009 7:48 a.m.
