I dondemn the unbridled consumerism of Xmas because its a capitalist con for depriving people of money they wouldn’t otherwise spend.

I condemn those who have forgotten that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of baby Jesus – whether they are practicing Christians or not – and who indulge in orgies of consumption, gluttony and drink – some of which end in avoidable tragedy.

I condemn those who don’t drive safely.

I also condemn the one in control of the wind who turns it off when I am on the beach waiting to kitesurf.

I condemn Proposition 8, but I do not condemn Proposition 8: The Musical, with Jack Black.

Ah.

I condemn corner shops that stay shut till after the New year. It means longer walks if I need stuff. Fortunately, some-one is bringing me smokes I really shouldn’t have this afternoon. Have to go on thepatches again soon.
I really condemn myself very very deeply for smoking far far too much.

I condemn Israel for its brutal and unlawful collective punishment in the Gaza strip. Its just plain murder, not justice against the actual offenders, and your leaders stand as condemned as those of Hamas.

I condemn the paternalistic seasonal cries of “never swim at unpatrolled beaches” and “only swim between the flags” which fail to take account of (a) the realities of where many people choose to go for their summer holidays; (b) the realities of the Australian summer climate and its predictable effects on the recreational choices of aforesaid holiday-makers; (c) the reality that the combination of rapidly expanding populations and inelastic lengths and locations of “safe” beaches have the effect of turning patrolled beaches (especially near metropolitan areas of Sydney and south-east Queensland) into wet moshpits.

I condemn people being internationally offended.
I condemn the BBC world news website for cutting very short the apparently inocuous Xmas message of the Iranian President. From the precis I read of the speech he didn’t say anything offensive and might in fact have been putting out some diplomatic peace feeler.
I condemn Western governments and media for being too stupid to realise this.

I condemn myself for not knowing how to spell inocuous. (I think its mispelt, though despite several tries have not been able to work out the correct spelling. I know there are no ks in it.cc doesnt look right nor does nn.)
