Assuming that there is a belligerent old man that breaks into your house to bestow gifts upon you at the end of the year, and further on, that he has a master list that says overall what kind of a person you have been for the last 365 days, and this list is used in weighing the amount and quality of said gifts,
would you be \'naughty\' or \'nice\'?
:santa:
Things to consider:
*You have to choose one, so even if you did a ton of good things, but they still don\'t add up to counter balance a major bad thing you did, you\'re still naughty.
*breaking the law in any way is being naughty whether or not you were caught. (possession, speeding, using a fake id to get into a 21+ show, downloading music you didn\'t pay for, driving drunk, drinking while driving, disturbing the peace, etc, etc)
*use your own moral values in deciding
*If you would like to purchase yourself an indulgence, you can always negate your sins by making a donation ;)

:chin: this one\'s really tough!!! I guess I\'m gonna hafta go with nice, although I did some (harmless) naughty things over the past year...
-

*breaking the law in any way is being naughty whether or not you were caught.
possession- check
speeding- check
using a fake id to get into a 21+ show- nope
downloading music you didn\'t pay for- check
driving drunk- not too drunk
drinking while driving- check
disturbing the peace- but...they were peaceful disturbances
etc- check
Based on the above, I guess I\'m pretty naughty!!! :pout:
*use your own moral values in deciding
YES....MY OUT!!!! I\'m so frickin\' nice it almost hurts!!! :D
wow, good for you todd! :P
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;)

Paul, in your list of criteria, number two conflicts with number 3. Until this is resolved, I am not participating.

2. breaking the law in any way is being naughty whether or not you were caught. (possession, speeding, using a fake id to get into a 21+ show, downloading music you didn\'t pay for, driving drunk, drinking while driving, disturbing the peace, etc, etc)
3. use your own moral values in deciding

Well, I knew there would be a bunch of whinning if I didn\'t give them there own morals to weigh it on. Given, some people have no morals and in this case they would see nothing wrong with breaking the law, therefor they are good. See example 1:
<< nice as can be
However, most people know deep down (even if they wont admit it to themselves let alone others) what is right and what is wrong. They just choose not to let it bother them. Again, example 1:
<< nice as can be
I put number 3 in hoping that for these people, they would be truthful and it would actually show them which answer to pick. It failed, as can be seen in example 1:
<< nice as can be
And if they don\'t, it\'s just a .info poll. You can\'t even see who voted for what (on purpose) Unless someone posts a reply stating they lied (example 1), they are only lying to themselves, such as in example 1:
<< nice as can be
If that\'s how some people choose to live their lives, I feel really, really sorry for them. But I also wanted to give them the option of deciding how bad what they did was. If you steal a stick of gum, not so bad. Do a couple good things and you\'re balanced back out. If you murder someone, that\'s pretty bad and pretty much nothing you do will be able to resolve it for you. Still, by giving each person the option to decide for themselves, it makes them reflect on the year they have lived rather than just having a doctorine shoved down there throats.
Anyway Jocelyn, I already know which you would be. ;)

^ Ahh Paul thank you so much for that post. I really needed a laugh and that did it.
-
Jesus smoked pot and he probably would have tripped face if he had the chance... and if Jesus did it, it ain\'t naughty.
me = nice
.... and LOL@ Paul!!
-
yea, I joke though. From what I hear and know of Freddie, he really loves his little girl and would do anything for her. That into itself has to balance out some of the stuff he does/jokes about doing. I just like busting balls.

first off, jesus smoked pot? evidence, please. i\'d be interested in reading about it.
second, actions are only as naughty/nice and the true, honest intentions and motivations behind them.

fair enough brah, fair enough, sounds about right to me........

speaking of peyote, i\'ve been reading this book, "the teachings of don juan: a yaqui way of knowledge", it\'s crazy. i recommend it to anyone who is interested in shamanic consciousness as relating to hallucinogenic plants.
-
Alot would say nice....but....I am closeted Naughty girl.... 2006 had its moments....

Carlos Castenada was a fraud, he made most of that shit up. And San Pedro cactus is a much more pleasant journey than peyote :thumbsup:
not that i would know.

I guess it\'s time to come outta the closet, Skye!
:lol: Sorry, couldn\'t resist ;)
-
i ran into a few of santa\'s elf higher-ups the other night, and i\'m happy to report that i\'ve made the \'nice\' list for the 2nd consecutive year! :banana:
-
oh and an insider tip for those who don\'t know - FrankZappa is neither an elf, nor a reindeer, nor santa, so his list of criteria is null and void.
-
what kind of drives do you think santa uses to back up his list?
-

power sock says i\'ve been naughty

way too nice. the only thing i\'m guilty of is being loud, transporting sketchy people, and the occasional bout of hangover crankiness. and i steal music that i eventually wind up paying for.
i think most of you can agree
-
Nicest I\'ve been in a very long time (ever?)
-
possession, speeding, using a fake id to get into a 21+ show, downloading music you didn\'t pay for
Well, shit. :P
