now Mr 64, that is not in the spirit of goodwill to all men now is it? Santa (I'm sorry, Father Christmas) is in strong competition with many other holidays, festivals and whatnot throughout the year.We would not want future generations of children to not know who Santa is now would we? -
Are you speaking on behalf of toy manufacturers worldwide or just Coca-Cola?Originally posted by Santa View Postnow Mr 64, that is not in the spirit of goodwill to all men now is it?

I would agree that Coca Cola have given me some excellent coverage over the years which helps to share the goodwill spirit, but, as you very well know Mr Spod, a gift can be something other than a toy which I'm sure Miss Maith would appreciate just as muchOriginally posted by SupremeSpod View PostAre you speaking on behalf of toy manufacturers worldwide or just Coca-Cola?

How is quantified? Is there a benchmark?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Now Mr Hairy#Bloke,Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostEr, ......
How is quantified? Is there a benchmark?
Philosophers have been debating what is good and what is not for MANY many centuries, I used to take part in some of these discussions before the baby boom of the fifties. Many people find that it's more complicated than just being kind, and several complex religions have arisen with the attempt to understand the difference between good and evil. While every person's journey is different, being good has a lot to do with discovering yourself and your role in the world. I would suggest as a start to consider:
Be Proactive - By avoiding bad behavior, you've made a big step towards becoming a good person, but you've only just begun. In order to be good, you actually have to do good things rather than just avoid doing bad things.
Consider the results - It's not enough to want to do good, and to try to do good--you must also think about whether your actions actually had good results. Not every attempt to do good will end with good results you know.
Define "Good" to yourself - ultimately, you have to decide your own code of ethics
Give people the benefit of the doubt - assume each person you meet is a good person, and act likewise.
So, with the above in mind, would you say you've been a good boy this year?Comment

I rather like this sockie.
Dear Santa,
Could you please give me an acceptance decision on any other the interviews I've recently been to?
Thanks,

I retract the above.
