I Hate The Holidays
15 years ago
Call me a grump a miserable soul or an asshole but I hate the holidays. . . WHY? . . . In the Years that I have been alive I have realized that Christmas has turned into a big commercial holiday and that no one realizes the true meaning of the holiday is not to spend shit loads of money on gifts its showing people that you care about them or that you spend time with family and friends but it seems every new year the holiday gets more and more commercialized it makes me sick I rather get nothing for Christmas as long as I have my close friends and family. This rant is coming from talking to someone on SL that has somehow gotten me wanting to rant about this commercial holiday. . .Honestly if I had to find a gift for everyone I know my head would burst into flames I cannot stand shopping the less time I have to spend in a crowded store full of idiots and little out of control kids everywhere the better I just assume tell the person Merry Christmas and be done with it and not be expected to buy a gift and worry if a person likes it or not Seriously Christmas should not be a stressful money grubbing holiday it should be about Family Friends and Feast :D. . . . . Oh Merry Christmas

That being said holidays, much like any social event, are destined to change with the times. Overall the theme of Christmas has remained relatively the same since the Victorian era. We could go back to the Medieval version of Christmas, which was like April Fools day x10. :D
capitalism is also the source of our problems
technology is what we need the most in our live for without it we would not be chatting or living the way we do

I would agree inherently that it's not the best system, but no system is that great really. There's a lot that sounds great on paper but once implemented the holes shine through.
Capitalism is the source of many problems, any economic system will be a source for issues in every society. That's the human condition.
