[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you people out of your freaking minds?  No, I'm not going to self-censor in public just because you're still riding the Santa Train with your kids.  I'm not going to go on about it at daycare, or in line to see Santa at the mall, but just generally, in public, out in the street?  Absolutely not.  I'm not going to devote the mental bandwidth to being a bit player in your children's Christmas Story.  You guys have some messed-up entitlement issues.[/quote]

My three year old doesn't believe in Santa because I think it's just dumb to lie to kids for shits and giggles (are the presents any less magical in coming from Mom and Dad? Not one iota.) but he also knows not to mention it because his friends do believe. You just sound like you take sport in "telling it like it is." What fun you must be.[/quote]

Like I said, above, in the post you quoted, I'm not going to go out of my way to scream "SANTA IS A LIE" at a daycare, but I'm also not going to spend my energy self-censoring in public.  I can just imagine you PPs"

"My friend Steve has a job -- " &lt;runs into the house, turns off the lights, checks to make sure the doors are locked and the curtains are drawn, goes into the basement, closes the door to the basement, throws a blanket over her head, whispers&gt; " -- playing Santa at the mall."[/quote]

Right. Because it's super plausible that you really needed to say that right at that moment in front of a bunch of kids that aren't yours.  [/quote]

You're missing the point.  If I'm talking about my friend Steve's new job as a mall Santa, I'm not going to think to look around first and see if there are any kids in the area.  Nope.[/quote]

Then that makes you an asshole.[/quote]

First of all, on the list of things that make me an asshole, that doesn't even crack the top 10.

Second of all, no it freaking doesn't.  It makes me a person living in the world that doesn't exist to Create A Magical Christmas for Your Children.[/quote]

You seem very angry at life. [/quote]

Different PP and,no, I gotta go with the "it makes you an asshole" call on this one.  Most assholes don't think they're assholes.  [/quote]
