Wow, 150 posts in and you seem to understand even less - I guess my bad for trying.
Your bad for being a bit of dick....

Because beating a dead horse is fun... 
I dare Magons to find a direct quote of anyone in this thread saying America is not responsible for what our out-of-control military, etc does. Go on Magons.
Of course, you also claimed that your input here was merely that you didn't like a holiday, and when I provided direct quotes of you saying much much more.... crickets. So you obviously don't go for direct quotes much. Or responsibility for what you've said, really.
I'll stand by anything I posted here. You?

Still? Guys, you've done nothing but repeat what you've said before, piling on when Magons merely responded to my post and has already said she's in the middle of something IRL and her reactions have been at least partly because of that. Can't we move on?

Niki, sometimes you need to let go of directing traffic. I love you hon, but you're not the boss.

I'm not directing traffic. I realize you see it that way, but what it was written as was a plea for peace. There's a difference between "can't we move on?" and "You better stop!" It's not like I threaten people with "Dire Consequences" when they don't do what I want.

"Why Halloween is depressing"
It comes about 2 weeks before my birthday. My birthday is Far more
important than Halloween. Could be a national holiday.
I recall that at the top of the thread, Halloween was depressing
maybe because it's hard to find the right costume to wear or maybe,
moreso, Mal4Prez: "Can women exist in fiction these days without
being all sexed up?"
To me, the "All sexed up" part would be a more relevant talk.
The way things are -vs- how it's supposed to be fosters negative
feelings, frustration, resentment.
Such a topic is just as big as Left vs Right in politics.

I believe NOD would emphasize quiet rest-relaxation,
watching favorite movies. Lots of ice cream would be served.
People would make speeches about the wonder of Oonj,
but I would not make an appearance.
A big activity would be touring the hummingbird gardens.
Folks who can fall asleep fast as a pussycat would win prizes.
No fireworks. It's a calm & peaceful holiday.
Hmmm. I may extend it to a 3-day holiday.

I can beat even that.
See, I have a "Survival Mantra" I use when taking even catastrophic, life-ending type damage, it's technically from a ridiculous childrens show I wound up vetting for a parent of small children, but this latest incident with the medical profession screwing up due to confirmation bias, not listening to the patient, and general dogmaticism, on top of a stroke in all but name which rightfully SHOULD have killed me dead-right-there on the floor that monday morning, THIS is what kept me going, even when they sent me home with useless meds and a bad diagnosis, even when they had to drag me back into the hospital, even when they had to perform a desperation maneuver which woulda killed just about anyone else... it was THIS which kept me goin - if you could distill "happy" into audio form, here it is.

PS: Slight variation of the lyrics to "I'm A-live", instead of In-Love, but the thought remains the same.

Hey Niki, did you ever watch The Crazy Ones?
And did I ever post that I figured out the perfect Halloween costume hours too late to do it?
