It's time to shift gears from all of our political debate, name calling, personal attacks, and down-right spitting to pause and reflect.

I want to extend to everyone my sincere wish for a happy holiday season. I have had a tremdous gift given me this year by being made a mod. This does not make me better than anyone else and certainly does not imply that I am smarter.

I have made errors during my tenure. For those errors I apologize.

I hope that as we continue through the holiday season and into the new year that we all (especially me) try to continue to:

Engage brain before engaging keyboard.

Disagree without being disagreeable.

The later is the one that I have failed at most. I shall try to correct same.

Nox

Well said, Nox. If you can ever find the location to my secret volcano lair, you're welcome to stop in for a shot o' Jack.

Happy Saxons-slay-Franks day!

Merry Christmas Nox (and everyone else)

Dear Santa

For Christmas I would like the great gift of mod status to be bestowed upon me. Think of it as a refreshing contrast to the materialistic desires that you usually have to satisfy.

PS. The sherry I'm leaving you is non-alcoholic, because frankly, I think you should be ashamed of the drink-driving example you're setting.

Happy Holidays Mr. Nox, and you haven't done that bad, pretty good actually. At least we haven't had to listen to you rave about your beauty and brains.

I don't know how far you would have to drive, but you are welcome at the compound if you are in the neighborhood, just watch the trip-wire.

Disagree without being disagreeable. This is what's been pissing me off about the format of modern debate in general. Debates on this board, debates with my friends and family, and even the presidential debates the politicians have been throwing pointless insults at each other and not bothering to rightiously defend their points.

Anyway, merry christmas/hannukah/hanukah/channukah/chanukah/quanza to all.

Qwaanza is for niggers.

Hehehe...sorry. This thread was too heart-warming.

Best wishes to the people.

What the hell's with Quaanza anyway? Blacks act like it's a traditional African holiday. I've never heard of it before four or five years ago. Is it just generic African tribal dancing time or some shit?

Merry Christmas Nox, or should i call you Stalin..

(there was no call for that i know)

Merry Christmas all....

Unclenasty fingers, dont take my pressie, i wanna mod politcs!

If memory serves, Kwanza was created in the mid-60's. It was supposed to be a celebration of things African (culture et al) which were imported to this country (USA). Many of the original words and concepts came from Swahili- a native language from east Africa. However, most slaves in this country trace their origins to west Africa (no one said this nonsense had to make sense). Anyway the 'holiday' has degenerated to the point that your "blackness" determines whether or not you can participate in community celebrations (reference the court battle for last years Kwanza in Chicago).

O well, so much for 'traditions'.

Nox

�Felices Navidades!

Beware of decorating your house, you may get sued. Hopefully, Santa leaves a gift made by his reindeer in those peoples' homes.

Nox, I have also had a great gift bestowed upon me this year:
A BRAND FUCKIN NEW MOTHERBOARD AND GRAFICS CARD
EAT THAT POOR PEOPLE
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
