the christmas spirit...

to be simple... its bullshit...

it is a meaningless comercial holiday... the 12 deciples didnt celebrate christmas? easter was the celebration of life, and the acceptance that jesus christ died for the sins of the world all rolled into one simple weekend, where we get time off work and paid for it.

so why celebrate xmas???
st Nick, would give fruit and nuts to the poor in socks in the early 15th centery.... or some time around that era, but that was in ireland.
this was the development of the xmas stocking... -with the socks and all? but yea.

now, i have another issue with this... what kind of situation would develop this kind of a holiday?
ill give u a clue... st nick wore green, whats a big lable that advertises in red???
COCA COLA.
they were the first to turn santa red... comercialisation.

and the thing is... its all marketing....

marketing..... the art of selling people shit they dont want or need, for ur own benefit, to buy shit u dont realy want or need....

now, i am an economist, and one thing we are taught, is that we are better off to work and trade with others than to do things all on our own...

now, i gues this is true to a point.
however, some stupid things are just a waste of time.

i guess marketing is the reason for economics, drought, depression, greed etc...
all comeing down to one thing....

so- if u want to get rich? study marketing!
if u have a sole? shoot those that do marketing...

simple realy.

Your spelling still amazes me...

It's "soul" not "sole"

But anyway, yes, marketing teaches people to do robbery in daylight so to speak.

But it works!!! Look around the room you're in now and see how many things aren't really unnecessary yet you still bought anyway
