Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights..
Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL *lights, just the fake led
lights. I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot,
and Target. *All I could find was the fake led lights.


So, I bought a set of *led *lights strings with C7 *led lights. * *50
lights on a string, total wattage of *3.7 watts. * *They say these are
much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. * But, I have seen that
you get what you pay for. * These lights are dull and weak looking.


Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside Christmas
lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?


Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when some kid
in Nigeria is starving .


The ONLY reason some kid in Nigeria is starving is because its moron
mommy didn't have the sense to keep her legs closed.


Besides the fact that the comment was a sarcastic joke.... The reason is
because their government doesn't pay women that reproduce like rabbits
to raise their children. *Here in the US we say "Go ahead and be a lazy
whore. *Don't get a job, we will pay to take care of all your children."


Sure can tell where he's coming from! It's the "lazy whores" that
reproduce like rabbits -- because they *enjoy* multiple, closely-
spaced pregnancies (which our correspondent will never experience)
with all that entails.

In fact, many of these women, mostly in "developing countries" (= poor
and undemocratic) are at the mercy of the men who "own" them. They
cannot decide whether to have children; cannot refuse sex with their
partners, and cannot require them to wear protection against
pregnancy and STDs. Result: In Africa, for example, MOST of the HIV
positive and full-blown AIDS cases are *women* who got the disease
from their sex partners -- or rapists.

In the U.S. it is the poor, ignorant, and hopeless women who
"reproduce like rabbits" almost entirely against their will. This
poster is so removed from the reality of their lives, one would wish
he could be reincarnated as a poor, ignorant woman who, if she is
lucky enough to get a minimum wage **** job, has to take two or three
busses to work; has to find someone to take care of her children; has
to come home half-dead and cook and clean and care for the children.
Next day, same routine. Yes, I really do wish such a fate on our
woman-hating correspondent.

In most European "developed" countries, innocent children are not
blamed for how they came into the world. Their governments are
sensible enough to realize that investing $1 in pre-natal, early
childhood, and education, saves $10,000 down the line in social
costs, and yields productive citizens instead of parasites and
criminals. Citizens who will *not* replicate the fate of their
mothers.

In the U.S. our corporate masters much prefer to use our resources to
invest in colonial enterprises abroad; to pay our oil-producing
"allies" to fund our enemies; to exploit our natural resources and
those of countries we can bribe. In short, to do anything BUT care
for innocent children and help them to a better life. Yup, you gets
what you pays for...
