Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Christmas decorations at Lowe's tonight. This is September still. Corporations make as much money off Christ as they can. And people wonder why I hate corporations so much.
We should all be celebrating Christmas in September actually. Jesus's actual birthday was 9/11 in 3 BC. I'm done celebrating the Christmas Saturnalia holiday the cult pushes. At least the way they push: trees, Santa, lying to our kids, stockings. Same with their Oester/Ishtar holiday in the spring that we call Easter. Done with these satanists. I will still have a gathering at Christmas time to have a joyful meal with extended family. Will still give our traditional gift of a big-family outing to the Wisconsin Dells for kids and grandkids and our parents. Those give energy to family. But f*ck these corporations and their family-destroying, people-hating agendas.
It takes all the fun out of it, out of season. There is no season now, really ruins the mood. Those decorations are cheaply made with toxic materials from China, anyway, a lot of them are. It gets dark so early up here near the border, I don't blame folks for cheering up the dark country roads with lights, after Thanksgiving, I do it too, but in September? The push push push by retail really sucks.
They are making money off the fake plastic Jesus.
