Happy Christmas

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Christmas time, listen to me whine,
Children boiling in a cauldron of brine,
with dogs on the fire,
and puke on the tree,
It's time to rejoice in this misery
A Big Night In, Libs?

"Opinions" change with age, the 30/40 somethings on here have probably had to put up with a lot more in life to jaundice our "positive" outlook on life, we've had some of the "fire in our bellies" put out by circumstances the young'uns have yet to face, but wait a while, it'll come to you all :cry: :cry:
It's why we can have a "We're right......you're wrong" :roll: attitude, it comes with age, there's a line in a "James" song that says, "I've become the kind of Man I always hated", I'm looking at him most morning in the mirror :|

I am starting to find that too (not that you're the man I've always hated, scotty!), too boring to put why, but it's all to do with work and getting onwards and upwards :|

BTW I think you expressed your thoughts very well

About the best thing about Christmas, that is. Tourists in town (or any crowd at that time being 'Christmassy') can be a bit annoying, but in the end who doesn't enjoy a good meal and some nice drinks to go with it.

as another "oldie" (albeit one for whom mirrors hold no fear :innocent: )
i have to agree that knowledge when combined with experience certainly gives at least the beginnings of wisdom.

however age is no excuse for giving in to the man; nor should it neccessitate
watering down or abandoing your beliefs and morals.
in short:
NEVER SURRENDER.
NEVER COMPROMISE.
EVEN IN THE FACE OF OBLIVION.

grow up, get a job, struggle through it, watch the government erode your liberties
That just reinforces my opinion even more. Why would I want to have children, knowing I'd have to put them through that?

I don't like Christmas very much. :|

In fact I would go so far as to say I hate it and the overated crap it brings with it.
it's all about circles and spirals

People!

Re the young 'uns "debate" - as one of the young(er) members of this board, but one who chills with old codgers, maybe I can bring a bit of balance to this one?

Age might tend to bring some degree of wisdom, but it by no means guarantees it. Likewise, youth does not guarantee half-baked opinions.

It can be a general rule but life is far too random to adhere too strictly to general rules. A 15 year old could very easily have had experiences in his time that an 80-year-old man never has.

I've certainly found individuals significantly older than me - I won't name names - to be as capable of ill-thought-out rants, whingeing self-pity, and everything else that might irritate the living s**t out of you, as any teenager.
If not more, because once someone gets hold of the conviction that they've Lived, their ignorance is impenetrable. There's no fool like an old fool and there's no fool like someone who believes they've seen it all.

The young chaps on HL may have their Rick-out-of-the-Young-Ones moments, but quite frankly, so do all of us. We just get away with it :innocent: .

Personally, I think they are some of our most astute and witty posters.
