Russia is ahead of all by only acknowledging new year.Screw any religious context, holidays should be neutral.Can you take a moment and soak in the content that's been written by me?I don't feel like explaining why what you just said was very very very very stupid.I haveNew year- no imaginary creatures- no religion- reason for family to be together- no age limitsYou're confusing me.My argument is that holidays shouldn't exist, because they only bring forth shitty emotional value, whereas they bring forth a lot of bad things with them. Companies manipulate people into buying shit they don't need all the time, but with holidays, people let themselves be influenced much more easily. Also, buying christmas presents are just bad.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078358/Why-giving-Christmas-presents-pointless-bad-economy.htmlIf you want to buy someone something, then do it. Don't do it because other people are doing it, or because you have to. That is a shitty reason imo.Celebrating Christmas by cuddling with your family in front of a tv is just acceptable by my "rules". If you want to have that kind of a shitty moment, then go ahead, but bring in more stupid stuff and I'm out of here. Bring in the fact that you're buying gifts that other people don't want, and giving into what companies want (to make money at the cost of anything) and I'm rushing back trying to stop it.Sounds like your problem lies with commercialism in the modern day and how it's manipulated the holidays. My mother loves Christmas but she hates the shopping along with it.You can hate how it's been manipulated, but the history of it isn't bad.

Yup. Russia is ahead of all by only acknowledging new year.Screw any religious context, holidays should be neutral.
Are you sure? I also dislike Birthdays.
God damn that's edgy.You obviously don't get why people like Christmas.
Quote from: Desty on December 18, 2015, 02:48:32 PMAre you sure? I also dislike Birthdays.Eh, that's different if you ask me. Birthdays are individual things that celebrate the birth of someone and the effect they've had on your life and others around you. No one is asking you to get your 2nd cousin a gift, but when it's your mothers birthday, you damn well better consider it provided all she's done for you.

This will continue until everyone preeches my message.Nobody cares, so I join them and live miserably. Damn you're dodgy tho.You'd be able to mock the person eating McDonald's food everyday, 'cause it's a poor life choice, and in the same way I think that celebrating Christmas like most people do is a poor life choice.
