Things to complain about

[Xen Garden]

you mean like.. goat milk? And technically cow milk IS furry milk, in that sense. Breast milk would be non-furry milk.

My complaint: being pregnant on st paddy's day. T_T

Technically a human is covered in "fur" because it's a mammal. And therefor makes human breast milk furry milk.

My complaint: Bored on St Patricks day

[Lt ReiStark]

drink rye, that is how you have fun on st pattys

My complaint: Bored on St Patricks day

My complaint:  People are getting hammered to celebrate the genocide and forced conversion of traditional Irish culture.  Its the celebration of a great loss of consciousness with a great loss of consciousness.

[Lt ReiStark]

What about people putting their kid out into the night to nkock on strangers houses for candy to cellebrate a pegan ritual? any better

[EmoFox]

Yes, because St Patrick's day is (technically, originally, blah blah blah) a Christian celebration of St Patrick chasing all the snakes out of ireland. it's entirely metaphorical however, as St Patrick actually converted all the druids of Ireland to Catholisism. And those who didn't convert.. well, you know. They were brutally murdered. From a pagan/Druid's point of view, I suppose it would be similar to celebrating Remembrance day by smoking opium or something.

Where as Halloween... Well, really, has very little to do with the original pagan holiday of Samhain, which is a celebration, by the way, not a ritual. And besides, who doesn't love free candy?

On *that* note, how about the extreme commercialism and fat man in a red suit distributing gifts to children he deems to be nice, and giving the rest of the little bastards coal, to celebrate yet another pagan holiday. That's right, Jesus (probably) wasn't born on December 25th. It's originally a pagan celebration of the winter solstice, also known as Yule. That's also where Christmas trees came from. Christianity adopted the holiday as the birth of Christ to aid in the conversion of druids and other pagans to Christianity.

At the very least, Halloween is in some way preserving some of the culture that Christianity has tried so desperately to wipe out.

My complaint: it's 2 in the fucking morning and my toddler is still WIDE AWAKE. >_<

[Foxxphyre]

Correct, All Hallows Eve is celebrated in many cultures to commemorate the spirits of the dead and doesn't necessarily have its roots in "paganism," unless you take paganism to mean "blanket non-Christian." 

Remembrance Day has nothing to do with religion, and I'm sure many of those Vets are taking some sort of synthetic opium derivative at this point (codeine anyone).

A better analogy would be to say its like getting kids to celebrate a pagan holiday by decorating trees with lights and putting gifts under them...

[EmoFox]

no, i meant st paddy's day is to Irish culture what remembrance day is to us. I was using Christmas more as a comparison to his halloween thing

[Lt ReiStark]

decorating trees with lights and putting gifts under them...

Well i cellebrate that day as the birth of our massiah, we don't know the exact day that Jesus was born so i make due with Xmas day to cellebrate it, and the gifts are related to the gifts the wise men gave Jesus when he was born. the tree, lights, santa, milk and cookies, frosty the snowman, and jinglebells can suck it!

This is not the place for discussing the origins of holidays nor is it the place to share why you celebrate a holiday either.   It's the complaints thread. So unless you have a complaint to contribute I would advise you all to maybe start a thread to discuss these things.

My complaint: My 21" monitor kacked yesterday so I had to hook up a 15 1/2" monitor. It's so slaggin' small and now there is a big empty space on my desk *sigh*

[Selkit]

...as the birth of our massiah...

Godbottery. Please refrain from insisting the 2,000 year old mythical Jewish cosmic zombie antihero has anything to do with me.

Two-fer:

Woke up in a fit of nausea and disorientation. Slipped a rung on the ladder on the way down, barked the hell out of my shins. Rather lucky I didn't fracture them instead, but it feels like I've got a lovely bone bruise. So now I'm nauseated, uncomfortable, and bruised. Whee.

If I got coal for Xmas, I could get alot of money from it, and it can be turned into a diamond.

My complaint: People making Christianity (Or its brotherin religions) sound like it applies to everyone (Including me). I'm Wiccan. I dumped the Catholic religion after confirmation.

Yeah, but the diamond process takes a LOOONG time, unless you go for zirconia, which isn't technically real diamond.
Also, being lumped as a christian does indeed suck.

My complaint: inconsiderate skytrain passengers. Just because you *think* there is a way to calm down every screaming child that happens to be in public, doesn't mean it's true. Yes, it's annoying, and that poor parent who CAN HEAR YOU has enough on their plate trying to calm down their child in the first place. Sometimes babies and toddlers just cry, and there's not much that can be done about it. Especially if it's something that can't be done while standing on public transit, like changing their diaper that they just soiled minutes ago, or breastfeeding because they're hungry and aren't on to more solid foods yet. And you stupid security guards who use the chairs in the handicapped zone where strollers fit, at the very least use them FOR YOURSELVES and put your goddamn bag on the fucking floor. Because I really could have used that seat you ass wipe. But no, your bag needs it more than the 5 1/2 month pregnant lady who's obviously having trouble standing with a screaming writhing toddler.

Complaint: That the underlying assumption you have to have to be a Christian is that the 'our' applies to non-believers too.  Please use 'my.'
