Get your facts straight before posting. I know that. Here, where I live, some old Polytheist traditions were made into nonreligious Traditions. But many traditions ARE Christian. And that's why they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Ignore Crabs until he posts something useful. As for me... I have many many traditions. Lolz. But most are out of obligation, which I'm happy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Ignore Crabs until he posts something useful. Considering that Fiddler on the Roof is all about the struggle between what people want to do and what Tradition demands' date=' I'm pretty sure it's far more useful than "We burn babies and virgins. :3" or "They are also Christan" or "Yeah me to. [/thread']" could ever be. Granted, my skill at actually reading the opening post instead of just jumping down from the topic title could be improved...

They hold no real value, and are completely useless. Like a photograph, you take a picture because you think you will want to remember it down the road but really you take a photograph to prove to people that you have a reason to exist, have a reason to hold on to something that someone else wouldn't. There is no reason to it, no rhyme. You please yourself, and hope that other people think your someone who needs to exist. Oh, I'm sorry did you think I was talking to you JP, your quite wrong.

HORUS Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I once wrote a three-page essay on how tradition hinders progress, but I'll refrain from posting it, as the contents would likely get me banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Every year my friend Robyn and I do these things. It's tradition for us: ~Go to the UCLA Book Festival~Go to Anime-Expo~She buys me an anime art book for the hell of it [this year I got GUREN: The Art of Ito Noizi] And for other things:~We decorate one of our Christian friend's tree since we are Jewish~We celebrate Christmas with as many Jewish people as we can get [it's so much fun xD]~We do everything we can on Christmas cause it's less crowded since people are at home with family =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Traditions, while hindering do keep people together and bring a smile to the face of those who accept them. As I see this within my own family, as well as many of the other Local Families here. Often, each generation of children adds a new tradition to the family household as well as the family as a whole. At the cost of another tradition maybe, but the Hierach (in this case is my Grandma and Nana/2 different people on 2 sides of the family) usually maintains a given Tradition until the time of their passing, and it stays assuming someone takes over the role. Though this may be foreign or downright odd to many of you it's not wrong. Even though I am obligated to 2 sides of the family, I cannot and will not see it any other way. This methodology of obligation yet sincere behavior is what keeps the ties that bind. These binds, being much stronger that force or the "robotic" behaviors some of you may recommend.
