Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

Thus Brand Management is actually in charge of where they're going, but everything is rigged to make it seem like labor values are.

Which, how old is that claymation one with the island of misfits? That one keeps to the Germanic roots of the tradition, so why hasn't he been railing against it for years? Do most American Christians not understand syncretism?

There are multiple claymation ones. The island of misfit toys is in Rudolph which has no pagan elements at all; it's also probably the only one most people remember with any clarity. You're probably thinking of the The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus which has the Horned God in it and has pretty much passed from the memory of anyone who isn't some die hard fan of either the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials or the art of claymation in general. I only remember it because I caught it once as a teenager and the image of a bunch of pagan forest deities in a movie about Santa Claus stuck in my head; still had to google the name.

Was that the one where the Burgermeister said "there will be no toymakers to the King" and put the whole town on a gift-giving moratorium, and the chimney thing was so Santa Claus could stealth deliver his presents? I remember being really confused at how the equivalent of a mayor was allowed to override the federal government.

But like aside from the name Santa itself meaning Saint and perhaps wearing the color red(?), I don't recall any Christian aspects of the holiday represented in either of those. And of course elves come from northern European mythologies.

when I first saw this, my mind immediately thought it ought to be anti-xenophobic, as looking at a crowd of normal people and going "well you can't tell if one of them is bad so just let the whole lot die" is just a deeply bent way of thinking. same vein as "let God sort them out".

it annoys me how cowardly the right is about this, while claiming to be "tough" compared to effeminate leftists. Even if accepting refugees put you at some big risk for terrorism, letting innocents suffer because you're scared to die is not very brave or manly, generally.

It's also idiotic because, if memory serves, most acts of "terror" in the U.S. are carried out by white men who were born here.

Good. gently caress those places. They set up en masse in poor neighbourhoods and prey on the desperate. It's been an issue where I bought my house, and the city is considering legislation that forces them to be a certain distance apart. I posted about it on Facebook, because there's three in a single city block along with two pawn shops just down the street from me and I would love to see them go in favour of legitimate businesses. Someone argued with me that they're necessary for people who need a few extra dollars before their next paycheque, but he doesn't seem to understand that they charge astronomically high interest rates and just make the problem worse. They're not altruistic by any means, they're not in it to help people, they're just profiting off the poor in the easiest and fastest manner they can. Make them the majority business in the area and you just end up with a severely impoverished neighbourhood with no hope or future. Banish them all forever.

When they say "tough" what they mean is that they strike out at whoever the "bad guys" are. It's just that their definition of "bad guy" is so skewed and general that they apply it to basically whatever is making them scared or what they don't understand at the moment. So protesting a bunch of children entering the country or poor people getting some sort of opportunity is flipped around from being an act of despicable cowardice and mindless hatred into a brave struggle against some form of corruption. Guns are the tools of these heroes, so daring to remove them is not only shortsighted, but a surrender to all that is evil. Any attempt to work on the issue of climate change is the government caving in to cowardly alarmists and distracting us from continuing to hunt down evil.

When it's so easy to turn the worst tendencies of society into things to be lauded, it becomes easy to see why the blatant hate speech and warmongering that the GOP has been spewing for so long has been so successful.

A lot of it just comes from raw fundamentalism, too. They aren't Christian or Jewish refugees so gently caress 'em. It's just grasping at any excuse to prevent people not from America from getting into America. The Republican party is xenophobic as hell and spends a lot of effort dehumanizing everything that isn't white, Christian, and American. "But one of the Syrians might be a terrorist!" is just their excuse this time around. They'd find another one if they needed to but enough Americans know about terrorist attacks made by Muslims that it works as well as they need.

That's Santa Claus is Coming to Town which also has a Warlock who gives Santa powers or something? Those specials all pretty much typify the secularized Christmas celebration; maybe there's some acknowledgement of Christ's birth but the focus is overwhelmingly on Santa, Christmas trees, gift-giving, and all the other traditions attached to the holiday that have poo poo all to do with Christianity. You don't see a lot of Christians complaining about them because the idea of a secular Christmas being an attack on Christianity instead of an indication of almost complete cultural dominance is a relatively new thing, and those specials are no where near as popular or ubiquitous as they were for previous generations. War on Christmas types don't remember the weird Santa backstory movies; just Rudolph and maybe Little Drummer Boy.
