Evolution Day

[FrostyBoy]

When I was a kid, I enjoyed Christmas Day very much, and the fact that it's at the end of the year is all very nicely timed for a long holiday from school and a new start, etc.

But now that I am older, I am not planning to celebrate xmas anymore coz of all the **** behind it. So what about chucking xmas out the window, and replacing it with Evolution Day or Intelligence Day?

Do you still get presents?

Festivus for the rest of us!

First, the airing of our grievances... and then, the feats of strength!

[rah]

At least Festivus wouldn't be banned in Kansas.

Celebrate the New Year, like we enlightened Russians do.

Why do you hate America?

A Darwin day would be nice. Out of all the holidays about people or things, the only ones I like are May Day, Labour Day, MLK's Birthday, and Buddha's birthday. They might as well have a Hitler's birthday to keep the rest of the holidays company.

I don't think an evolution holiday is much of a joke: public attitudes towards the sciences are appalling. More people probably believe in UFOs than believe in evolution. This is why democracy has failed. Unsurprisingly, Al Gore wrote a book about this, in which he identified several plausible causes of current irrationalism, but people were too irrational to understand his arguments.

It doesn't suprise me that you and Al Gore use this excuse. I encounter it a lot, normally from people in highschool or those sad people known as post college commusits.

Weren't you going to marry some uber Christian Chinese chick in Singapore?

I suggest you mark the day by eating cow sphincter, in keeping with its theme.

The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that Christmas is not a religious holiday and that a manger scene, when on public grounds and surrounded by other symbols of the season, has no more religious meaning than a candy cane or a snow man. So, what your problem with celebrating Christmas?

[DinoDoc]

Maybe he doesn't consult the Magna Carta when deciding what is or is not a religious holiday.

Wow! That's incredible!

Anyway, I don't trust hollidays in general.

[FrostyBoy]

Who really gives a **** what the Supreme Court says?

Keep up with the times, Oerdin.

And yes, on Evolution Day, you get presents, just like Christmas. But instead of cutting down a tree and decorating it with plastic ****, we feed all the living things around the house, mice, birds, cockroaches, lizards, ants, we just give them some food, this is to signify our appreciation of life on Earth.

[Lorizael]

That's lame. Instead, we should cage all the living things in the house, starve them, place a small amount of food in the middle of the house, and then release them. Natural Selection

Before teh century is out, there will be a holiday, celebrated everywhere, in my honour.
