From where I stand, it's just another BS corporate holiday. Hey everyone, let's all stimulate the economy! :crazy:
That being said, I might just buy her the movie 'Mother'. |

Yes, all of those women who are in control of all the big corporations are pulling the strings. You got it.
And if you think this, your mother doesn't love you. |

Oh, did it seem like I meant corporate influence was unique to Mother's Day? Pssh! Nearly all major holidays are corporate holidays. Tell me, what the does buying bunny shaped chocolates and dyed eggs have to do with zombie Jesus? What does buying pine trees and ornaments in December have to do with baby Jesus? It's total bull,. Don't get me wrong, I still do think it's cute when people can't see through bull. :)
I mean, , even my own mom can see through through Mother's Day :rolleyes: |

It's kind of neat that people can be told what to feel, and when, and be totally compliant.
I like that in more logical parts of the world, they call holidays like Christmas exactly what they are... "Annual Gift Days" . This way there's a bit less bull involved, as far as coming up with reasons to justify all the extra spending. |

srussell you're such a boring doughnut.
Requisite sentimentality is bereft of meaning. If it's something you feel you HAVE to do, it means nothing.
But I won't spit on gifts, they're nice things. =) |

So. Deep.
You're so right though. If I buy my Mother flowers for Mother's Day, it means absolutely nothing. When children get gifts on Christmas morning, they mean absolutely nothing.
You should change your username.
Your PMs from Happymess had a much different tone. What happened, pray tell? |

| I think we should get srussell's mother a bunch of pizzas for Mother's Day, myself. |

| Only if it's pizza in the shape of flowers. |

I don't enjoy insulting you or being condescending, I really don't. But you're so criminally dense and boring I can't help myself. :sadgreen:
My PMs to you were an extension of the cigarette smoking thread, I think. I was speaking generally. I can be polite and civil, you know.. but if you'd like me to point out just how much of a dull fruitcake you are, I'd gleefully oblige. |

A lot of people like fruitcake.
Apparently "dull" means that I don't throw around painfully cliched banality like:

Real meaningful stuff there. Maybe you should write a novel full of all of the interesting things you have to say.
Being a massive cliche doesn't make you interesting. |
