Ouch. that is a long list.

I don't know what I did wrong, but my kids have never asked for Christmas
presents. We have always purchased them presents, but I think they wanted
to be completely surprised. My wife did not believe pretending there was a
Santa (she didn't like the idea of lying to them, even with someone as
innocent as Santa Claus), so that might be the reason they never got into
the long list of Christmas presents.

As the kids got older, it becomes harder and harder to figure out what they
really want. You have to start earlier in the year planning and (heaven
help us) I actually have to listen to what they are talking about.

Kevin cannot admit that a child asking for a bike, PS2, ipod, Nintendo DS
and other things for Christmas (with the list growing longer every day) is
not being greedy. He also does not see that by buying those material
goods shows he is giving into the retail marketing tools and does not
understand the true meaning of Christmas.

(The first step in creating a contract is identifying the parties

$10,000,000.00. It would be equally meaningless. Making conditional

you cannot be held accountable)

An observation from a guy who has no interest in "defending Harry,"
(Harry can take care of himself, and does, very adequately.):

Aren't at least a few of the folks in the current pig piles on
Harry
and Basskisser supposed to be getting spiritually prepared for what
a
recently touted book declares the "most sacred Christian holiday"
of
the year?

Will these personal attack threads continue until midnight of the

Kevin gets what he deserves Chuck. His posts contain vulgar language
and
one or more of the following: idiot, nitwit, dolt, ignorant,
dumb...and
so
on.

Here is a list over the past days:

Reverend Jim, what do you say about someone who posts questions with
the intent to make someone believe he is being truthful, when he is
not, then when the person turns around and does exactly the same to
you, you cry and whine like a baby?

Reverend Jim, what do you say about someone who is such a low life
scum
that when someone doesn't agree with him, or proves him wrong, that he
resorts to such low practices as saying nasty, uncalled for things
about that person's dead mother, his wife, and even his children?

Reverend Jim, what do you say about someone who continually insults,
then turns around and whines about people being insulting?

Reverend Jim, what do you say about someone who tells lies about
others
here, then turns around and chastises others for lying?

Reverend Jim, you've done all of the above. You are such a low life
that you've even gone so far as to insult my children. THAT, my friend
proves to everyone here just what a piece of **** you are. No one
here,
except maybe Fritz, who's nose is constantly in your ass, would agree
that THAT behavior is anything that a real man would engage in. But,
alas, you have.
