Without going into details, I’m stuck waiting in a business with Fox News on. They’re trying to start a civil war. The words spewing from theirs mouths make Empty Gee look like a Girl Scout.

I say you can do whatever you want to celebrate the holidays. It just pisses me off when they try to wrap Christianity (Xmas) with Judaism (Hanukkah). If you have done both celebrations, you know they are completely different -- but equally respectful.

It's always an attack on urban areas. Last week 2 homes were set ablaze in a resort community in the Tip of the Mitt (far northern MI) on successive nights. The alleged arsonist was 12 years old. Both homes burned to the ground. Arson is a crime, it is always wrong.

Personally, I mostly think of the pagan connections when someone goes off about Christ being all about Christmas. It's historically unlikely he was born in December and the early Church often appropriated pagan traditions to make conversions easier to sell.

A 49-year-old man who police said was homeless was arrested on charges including criminal mischief, arson and trespassing. It wasn’t clear if he had an attorney who could comment on the charges.
Police said the man had a lighter, but it was unclear whether any accelerant was used.
The tree had been ceremonially lit during a network Christmas special on Sunday. Its charred remains were being dismantled Wednesday.

Yes, suspect is a homeless man. Probably not far fetched to think possible mental health and/ or drug issues. At first blush, not the libruhl mob going after poor Fox.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 12:34 pm https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-cr ... _medium=AP

I have seen too many folks on twitter making light of it (no pun intended). The stupid statements on Fox are worthy of mockery but the crime is not, so that’s where I was going.

Homelessness in blue cities is a direct effect of libruhl policies, therefore libruhlism is the cause of the fire QED.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:17 pmYes, suspect is a homeless man.

Maybe the burner was mad they tore his tent down to put up a much bigger tent that is unlivable because it doesnt block wind and it's a fire hazard. He just showed them the error.
Re: Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and other TV purveyors of fake news
Yeah, that "tree" must have burned like a torch. Makes sense, a faux tree for Faux News. (Doesn't Rockefeller Center use a real tree?)

Funny how they all three dress as if they are at a night-club instead of a serious news program. LOL Love the stilettos as well as the crossed legs to hide their junk. But, I guess it all gets ratings..bob wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:22 pm Speaking of the Christmas spirit:

Yes, they do. This year's tree is from Elkton, MD.

I may have recognized it if you just said: "in Bay View". I was there once on an organ crawl in Petoskey (and drove by it when headed to something in town or further north).

I've never heard of an "organ crawl" before. It sounds rather debauched, though I can't begin to guess whether the debauchery is principally due to alcohol or carnal pursuits. Not the sort of thing that I would expect from a bunch of ecclesiastical musicians.northland10 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 3:19 pm I may have recognized it if you just said: "in Bay View".
