    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34w8xqFz3eU Funny how you never hear the poor, hungry or homeless whining about the "war on Christmas". Always seems to be older and comfortable who think they are in some melodramatic existential battle for X-Mas survival.

    Victimhood is a major component of right wing authoritarian psychology. It helps make them susceptible to control by authoritarian figures.

    """""""That the only people who are really offended by Christmas are white liberals"""""""""


    Spreading goodwill, love and joy of the season I see...:)...and a lot of ignorance.....



    Now show proof no white liberals celebrate Christmas.....

    Show proof you have suffered from not having someone say Merry Christmas to you......


    ...such delicate sensibilities......tsk, tsk....:)

    Your slavish devotion to every one of my posts doesn't hide the fact that your comment had nothing to do with the post of mine you quoted.

    Your frothing-at-the-mouth denial confirms my post.

    There is no "War on Christmas".

    It was a ratings gimmick dreamed up by Bill O the Clown as a way to build ratings.

    Fox Noise freshened it up last year by re assiging it to Meghyn Kellley, who they have been building up.

    She did the Santa is a white man act last year.

    I didn't bother to see how they worked this moldy chestnut this year.

    The war on christmas is as real as the war on women

    The only real war saddly, is the war on drugs.

    As somebody who doesn't celebrate Christmas I couldn't care less if people wish me a "Merry Christmas". I typically respond with a generic line like "same to you" or "take care" and go on my way. However, some crazy lady once got offended when I wished her a "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". Now I don't say anything except "take care" to anybody. Moral of the story, there's no shortage of completely ridiculous people on both sides.

    There's a war on everything: Christmas, women, men, atheists, hookers, drugs, religion, smoking, gay people, straight people, blacks, whites, just grab a grenade and pick a side I guess.

    Yeah, I guess I'm just too stupid to understand. Maybe a superior intellect, such as yourself, could find it in your heart to explain it to me. Where did Unifier say or imply that he only delivers to conservative Republicans?

    " And I noticed one recurring theme among all of them. They all wished me "Merry Christmas." I have never been wished "Merry Christmas" so many times in my life by so many different people. "

    "That the only people who are really offended by Christmas are white liberals. Nobody else gives a crap. Because they all celebrate it."

    Yeah, I figured that was what you and Margot were using to come to your absurd conclusion but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.

    So, in your world there are only two categories of people: white liberals and conservative Republicans.

    And you were attacking other people's ability to use logic and reason?? That's a laugh.

    Sorry you missed the joke, it is quite absurd that Unifier could come to his conclusion about White Liberals from his experiences, but if you except his claim then many other equally false claims can be made. Get it? Hence my joke about finding out I was not a White Liberal.
    I think you might be reading too much into this.

    That's just another failing of your thought processes.

    To say that "only white liberals" do a thing does not mean that ALL white liberals do that certain thing.

    For example: Only monkeys swing from the trees at the zoo.

    That doesn't mean that ALL monkeys swing from the trees at the zoo.

    Is any of this sinking in?


    Beyond that, even if he were saying that all white liberals hate Christmas, it would not be logical to conclude that he only delivers to conservative Republicans. The world isn't as black and white as you seem to think that it is. There are black, Chinese, Mexican, etc. liberals; there are libertarians and anarchists of every color; then you have Marxists, syndicalists, nationalists, etc...

    It's a big world out there. You and Margot should step out into it every once in a while. You may actually enjoy it.

    A joke! I recognise the logical fallacy, do you think I would of suggested I couldn't be a White Liberal because I wished Margot a merry xmas if we were being serious!

    Try taking the world a bit less seriously, after all it is Christmas!

    ORLY? This was the comment that I was addressing.
    I don't see a joke. I see you attacking people's logic and reasoning abilities because they took issue with Margot's assertion that the OP must only deliver to conservative Republicans. Now I see you backpedaling with a "it was a joke!" excuse because you now realize that Margot's assertion wasn't actually logical at all (after trying to defend the assertion in post #40). Kudos to you for finally realizing at least that much even if you can't admit that you were dead wrong.

    Whatever mate, read my next line which you haven't posted but the joke was always there from the start!. Perhaps you will now show how Unifiers entire post is a logical fallacy( which if you have any intellectual honesty you are aware of and have been from the start) and then your friends who do not understand will see it next time. Or are you only interested in my joke! Chill out, its hardly deep philosophy!

    Don't you ask Margot if she is being sarcastic?

    Yeah, okay. You decided to interject yourself into an exchange with an insult and now want to hide from your own words. Stay classy.

    Not at all I am happy to be seen at poking fun at Unifiers logic, I never meant it to be anything but! Im not hiding from anything. If the joke goes over someones head its even funnier. I could not care less what you think of me sunshine I do this for my amusement not yours.
