Paul Martinez73 said:Matthew Young35, do you celebrate Christmas? Got a nice Christmas tree at home? A nativity scene? Heading out for Advent?
It’s actually fascinating how many "Atheists" and "I'm not Catholic" types still celebrate Christmas. So, I have to wonder... are you and Zinedine Zidane part of that little club?

I celebrate having a day off work.
I don't do Advent.
To be honest, I can't stand it; the city is cluttered with cheap trinkets and tacky decor.
And frankly, I don't have a Christmas tree or a Nativity scene.
I've never been one for kitsch.
As if my life wasn't complicated enough already.

If someone else enjoys it, that doesn't bother me, if that's what you're asking.

There was never such a thing as "the right time" here; something always gets in the way before everything can finally run smooth. Every generation has its own history of trauma and circumstances they were supposed to rise above, along with a long list of reasons why they didn't.
There’s no room for defeatism or despair. Let's be bold and aggressive about making new conquests in this new year.☕

In short, we've been hit from every possible angle.

except I got steamrolled by two total soldiers (one like a heavy mare gasping her last breath and the other like a shaky colt in labor),
besides the fact that I got drained dry by two different socio-economic systems (watching dead socialism collapse and wild capitalism struggle to be born)
and having watched one millennium die out just to witness the start of the next one

it’s a classic case of being in the wrong place at the absolute worst time...

Every cloud has a silver lining.
I am certain God has a plan for you.

Highlights:
Yogurt
Sober Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović
Grabar-Kitarović
These attacks from this group of women against Mirko Škoro
These attacks from this crowd of women against Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović

And that would be about it, along with a few other minor flourishes.

Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović holding that notebook, looking for all the world like she’s handing out handouts at the Strazar Tower.

And what on earth does that have to do with religious education?

Take a look at the traffic light, just take a look at that traffic light...

It’s dead. Completely broken.

Another foul on Skorin.

Does anyone have a decent quality stream? Mine keeps lagging.

Joe Biden almost had the chance to clinch it during stoppage time.

Is VAR actually going to step in because of these fouls on Joe Biden?

Paul Sanders5 said:Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović is just giving a straight answer, while everyone else is busy swinging from one extreme to the other 🙏

Everyman believes that religious studies belong in the classroom because the Bible serves as the very foundation of our literary tradition.
A rare moment of sanity.

Amanda Evans2 said:Who is actually in charge here?

Jurica Juričan and Zoran Milanović are driving the tempo here.
Kolakušić is absolutely dominating the field.
Mirko Škoro and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović have basically parked the bus, though Kolinda keeps trying to launch long balls from the corner.
Ivan Pernar and Ivan Dapic are both just playing for the jokes at this point.
As for those other two women? They're just cleaning up the scraps on the field. That Democrat might actually lose her cool after all those consecutive fouls on Škoro, who can't find any rhythm because of that relentless man-to-man marking.

bluebison47 said:Who?🤣

Look, Jurica Juričan, give me a break. It’s just not right that Zoran Milanović is the one in charge.

Lik je ostavio jogurt na stolu
Ja ću se raniti

Mirko Škoro talks just like Siri.

Jurican caught red-handed copying off Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović.

Will the President show up drunk, or just skip the whole thing entirely?

It honestly surprises me every single time how much more sense people make on a football fan thread than they ever do in any other discussion topic.

I truly admire you all.
Even those here who champion absolutely idiotic theories or ideologies manage to scrape together something halfway intelligent to say once in a while.

I’m being completely serious.

Go check out any political thread and you'll see that even when... and... get involved, the debates here remain infinitely more coherent.

Kudos to everyone.

Speaking of debating, the specific point someone is arguing doesn't actually matter when it comes to the quality of the discussion.
I've actually had some of my most intellectually stimulating conversations with an outspoken neo-Nazi. I'll admit that quite openly.

The whole thing falls apart the moment brainless idiots decide to jump into the fray.

Patrick Martin said:Move where? Why would I even bother? At this rate, she'll probably end up moving here herself soon enough.☕

Oh boy, they can hardly wait.
🙏🙂

I considered posting this over in the Christian meditation thread, but on second thought, I decided against it.
