"People will think Chip Ahoy posted this" is a great tag.

Chip is the king of all Cards.

They had to remove that. The building codes required a handicap, all gender, bathroom with both black and white toilet paper, as well as an attached safe space. It was cheaper to tear it down.

From REDDIT, Chip Ahoy would link the kids given a choice between their top two presents for themselves or for their parents, mums mostly.

Think of it, they're both presents to the kid, the perfect one for himself or the perfect one for his parent, and lo, there they are, both things right in front of them. Now pick one.

Why oh why must it be only one? None of the children ask this. They all accept the rules of the game as presented. None tried negotiating.

Will they behave the same or differently?
Will race bear on their decision?
Will apparent family income?
Will religion affect their responses?

It's a real problem. A moral problem. I LOVE these things of adults presenting children with a moral dilemma on metaphysical and spiritual grounds because this is where a spiritual fragment of creation can inhabit the child. It is a very important thing that occurs whether or not one is aware, and I'm supposing they're not, but here they are acting it out as if they ARE aware of its metaphysical and spiritual underpinnings. They already did do this, of course, this isn't their first moral decision, rather this is reenactment of an earlier tremendous universe event that occurred recently to the child without anyone noticing. Another moral decision. Life is so hard. This is life eternal, one moral decision after another, forever, and the entire point of the whole effort of physical life and beyond is make all those decision align with creation, with divinity, with God, all your decisions made by your personality unique to the universe are given to God and in that moment then fusion is possible and personality and the spirit of God are united permanently. As eternal spirit.

The fragment could not abide with the child until the child made its first moral decision.

The fragment can not fuse with the adult until the adult personality united in purpose with God, then boom, the magic happens and another eternal soul is produced. The fragments gets unique personality, the unique personality gets eternity survival assurance.

This usually doesn't happen in life. But it used to happen more often than it does now. The second event, the fusion, occurs long after death somewhere along the local universe experience, but when it does happen, boom, a new creature is created, a unique personality with the will of God.

That's why these cute little videos of kids making moral decisions about a commercial product regarding a religious season in the physical world are so colossally important. We have the pleasure of watching the beginning of spiritual eternity happening. It's a beautiful thing to behold, this reenactment. It seems so prosaic on surface and yet it is quite incredible.

On Trooper's Christmas card the Redbird is deleted.

Frequently, my short and complete response to a long and comprehensive comment from ChipA is "Yes!" Along with a thank-you in my heart to Lem, for providing such a forum and enhancing a picture that would be noticeably emptier without these idiosyncratic additions.

There were two towns: one with a steeple; one with an Ethical Culture Hall:
The fallen souls in the first town stumbled through life and prayed to God;
They had it all figured out in town two so why didn't their grown kids call?

"They had it all figured out in town two so why didn't their grown kids call?"

Because it's 2016 almost. Calling is intrusive and rude. Unless it's an emergency — text. Or email. But don't make granddad's phone ring — he might be taking a nap.

By the way, if personhood really does begin at conception, wouldn't it make more sense to celebrate Christmas on March 25?

Imagine if the Romans had Planned Parenthood.

Imagine if the Romans had Planned Parenthood.

They did ,it was exposure of infants and happened after birth.
The body parts industry was saved for adults after they played the Coliseum .

Oh well. If you could choose to have another structure for housing people or another structure for praying in I think the Christian thing to do would be to house the people.

Are there no prisons?

And the Union workhouses? Are they still in operation?
