i was wondering if it really was a computer generated image, or was he clicking his fingers, with his thumb behind the middle finger??

comrade kamo

[Mclaren]

This is something that I can agree with kamo happy christmas

[Son of Scargill]

Peace on Earth and goodwill to all comrades.

[RedCeltic]

"i was wondering if it really was a computer generated image, or was he clicking his fingers, with his thumb behind the middle finger??"

No he really had his middle finger up when he said that... nah just kidding I think it was computer generated.

[Dreadnaht1]

Happy new year, screw Chirstmas. But if you do celebrate all that and commercialism or whatever then have fun.

I'm thinking about making one of those images or whatever with a good 'Che Quote' and have a picture of che with his middle finger up. Hehehehe...

Merry Kwanzaaramachanumas Tov. (Not that Chanukah's a real holiday, anyway.)

I went to one of the few Eid parties I've even been to a couple of days ago, and it was fun. How come there's never any good Christmas food? At least there's good New Years drinks :)

[RedCeltic]

I think you left out Yule in your combo thing :)

Hey now New Year's! That's a celibration! X-Mas is the season for Capitalism... oh yea they say it's for gift giving etc... etc.... whatever man... but New years! New Years is the season for DRINKING As no one does it better than the Scots :)

Nah, my Russkie comrades and I mix Vodka and Frutopia, that way we can drink and drink all night. It tastes gooooood, even though Frutopia itself tastes like crap.

[Reuben]

First off, happy christmas Kamo and everyone else. I've had a great chunnukah!

Regarding commercialism, I tend to find that Christmas is the time when Britain becomes a cesspool of class-collaborationism when the oppressors and the oppressed recognize their non existent common fellowship.

(Sorry for being a miserable bastard)

Yours,

Reueben

Father Christmas is dressed in the colours of cocacola so hes a capitlaist thing ha ha all commies!

[I Will Deny You]

Reuben,
Is Chanukah commercialized kind of like Christmas is in Britain, or is it only in America that everyone spends tons of money in department stores because the oil lasted longer than we thought it would? I think I read somewhere that people don't give presents in Europe.

couldn't be, because he is based on Sain Nic (or whatever), whose dressing is based an Cathlic Bishops Red robe?

or am I mistaken?

I do recall something about santa being a marketing tool created by coke in the early 1900s.
But unlike mclaren I don't believe santa is real anymore.

[Kez]

Mclaren, wtf are you doing here? k=just wasting your shitty time, no-one cares what you say u unintelligent little fuck-up, u have no constuctive debate, and i proper cant wait till u FUCK OFF!

Yes Coke Cola made santa red in early 1900's

NOOOOO, you've wrecked it for me, I thought that Santa still existed, you destroyed my whole christmas. Next your going to tell me that the easter bunny doesn't exist and that babies arent brought to the mum by a big heron.
Haha

Also, Mclaren, fuck off!

[Conghaileach]

Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh.

[RedCeltic]

Ha ha... I think St. Nick had red on before Coca Cola came around... You'll have to look at art work from the 19th century... I think I've seen him in red.

[MJM]

don't worry santa clause exists, the easter bunny told me so

[El Commandante]

Phew, thanks for that Nick, you've really put the :biggrin: back on my face. I was quite depressed before that.

[Kez]

Anyone got anything big planned for next year?

comrade kamo

[Dreadnaht1]

Hmmm I want to go to Cuba sometime next year. Finally see what a real fucking country looks like!

Comrade Dread

[El Commandante]

I want to get my GCSEs over and done with, and basically have a bit more of a normal year, this one hasn't been good, hasn't been particularly bad either.

But hey, happy new year everyone, early I know, but who cares.

[MJM]

Next years was to be my trip to Cuba but sadly I can't afford it. So I'm gonna go to Europe to see the old world.London, southern France, Spain, Italy or as far as my low funds can take me. Maybe a stop in Egypt on the way I heard you can sneak onto one of the pyramids and sleep up there, that would be awesome.
Anyone got any good destinations I could check out?

[El Commandante]

Sleeping out on the pyramids sounds amazing, the undamaged star light, the atmosphere, it would be amazing. Eastern Europe, the old soviet bloc countries have a wealth of untapped beauty and they haven't been invaded by tourists, yet! So you need to be quick.

[gooddoctor]

merry christmas comrades (sorry it's a bit late), good luck with your stuff in the new year.

[Moskitto]

The problem with sleeping on the pyramids is that they run a light and sound show there every evening so you're sleep might be interupted by lasers.

But Egypt is a brilliant country, don't believe the stuff people tell you about being woken up by the call to prayer in the middle of the night, it's not true, I slept right through it.

If you do go to Egypt go to Sinai, it's amazing.

here's the diary I wrote. http://www.moskitto.f2s.com/egypt.htm

That's made me remember, I said I'd put a copy of that on the school website.

[I Will Deny You]

My brother and I said we'd go on vacation together and my father will help us pay for it because it'll be a sibling bonding thing (which we desperately need). I wanted to go to Egypt, and he wanted to go to Italy and Greece. We'll probably go to Italy and Greece because I know some Italian, and he always gets what he wants anyway. Maybe I'll visit Dario Fo!

There is no santa and hear is proff looking sat it scientficily.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
by Joel Potischman and Bruce Handy
As a result of an overwhelming lack of requests, and with research help from that renowned scientific journal SPY magazine (January, 1991) - I am pleased to present the annual scientific inquiry into Santa Claus.

1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.

2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist cihldren, that reduces the workload to to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.

3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seemes logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.

This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal anount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

5) 353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enourmous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

[Kez]

If anyone is lucky to go to Italy, go to the markets where they have laods of socialists id cards, and stamps etc, all of great nostalgic value!

Top stuff

If you slept on the pyramids, wouldnt the pointy bit hurt your back?

comrade kamo

Y must you spoil it mclaren!

Long Live Santa!

[Anonymous]

merry christmas everybody! =)

[El Commandante]

Kamo, the pyramids aren't pointy, they're a series of blocks, that from a distance look like a triangle.

And Mclaren, you've gone and spoilt it, just because you got a lump of coal!!! :P

Kamo, I'm going to Italy so I'll take your advice and have a look in the markets, cheers.

[DaNatural]

i dont want to dampen anyones holiday, but christmas is a shame for 2 reasons whether your religious or not. for one, the birth of chris is unknown and has never ever ever, been clarified. his birthdate is fabricated and was given the same date as pagan holidays, saturnalia, and sol ivictus. and finally! for many of us who are socialists or marxist or communists, celebrating something that is like heaven for capitalists is ridiculous. christmas is a bullshit con into buying a bunch of crap and i will be damned if i participate its just as bad as valentines day. lets wake up yall, keep things in perspective and not get all wishy washy cus thers snow on the ground, i hope i didnt offend anyone but i think its important not to get caught up in bullshit and become misguided on our objectives. P.E.A.C.E.

[Conghaileach]

I've boycotted Valentine's Day successfully for the past few years (probably because I haven't had a girlfriend for the past few years, but then again Che did say that the revolution comes first) but whenever I try with Christmas I feel guilty because my parents buy me lots of stuff (despiute my protests) and I don't wnat to feel like I'm spoiling it for everyone else.

Anyone know how I can overcome these feelings?

Nerdy Scientific analysis of why Santa doesn't exist.

LOL

[El Commandante]

Next he's going to say that he has scientific proof that the moon isn't made of cheese ....

LOL

[Kez]

Or that the world isnt flat, only crazy freaks think world is round

comrade kamo

[aleida]

Merry Chistmas and a Happy New Year too. I wish that this year will bring to all of you joy ,health...etc...and many more revolutionary ideas.

[Moskitto]

Serious you probably can find scientific analysies of thing such as those to show loads of stuff which blatantly isn't true.

[El Commandante]

If some people do calculate things like that it just shows how boring some people's lives must be. And more importantly what is the point in it? It's not like it will suddenly reveal the reason behind life.

[Mclaren]

I thought that it was a bit of fun.

P.S. Having hte quoting feature makes us turn gainst each other and cause even more arguments and less united in are groups if were all be so seroius.

[El Commandante]

Don't worry, we were treating it as a bit of fun as well, but in a rather cynical manner of humour.

[Lefty]

well its now march 22 but i was bored and wanted to say that Kofi Anan is cool. That is a cool quote.

[Commisar BOB]

what is he on about haqppy new year?
its march for christs sake
