The New Years day of the new UN calendar corresponds to the liberal's favorite holiday: April 15.
StColette Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) lol I knew it wasn't a real month UN is nuts !! Edited August 31, 2004 by StColette
Crusader_4 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I am not very happy with UN they are as mentioned before becoming a League of Nations. This is a joke.
Paladin D Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 [quote name='1337 k4th0l1x0r' date='Aug 31 2004, 01:44 PM'] No no no... they're going to create all new months, each with a theme. It will go like this: 1st month: gay pride month 2nd month: family planning month 3rd month: America smells of elderberries month 4th month: put on a condom month 5th month: let's be proud of being gay again month 6th month: talk about the bad guys and do nothing month 7th month: political correctness appreciation month 8th month: appreciation for those who fought for freedom: rock stars and celebrities 9th month: we don't believe in God month 10th month: take your gender neutral child to work month 11th month: save the whales and abort the babies month 12th month: alternative religion appreciation month 13th month: why not? more gay pride month oh, and as for the one extra day every year, they'll let us go to church that day. [/quote] LOL!
peach_cube Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 The Gregorian calender is a thing of beauty... from my "Discovering the Cosmos" by R. C. Bless [quote]A few thousand years must pass before our (the Gregorian) calender will be even one day out of phase with the seasons[/quote] When that day does come the simple solution is to just subtract an extra day during a leap year around that time and you are good for the next couble of thousand years.
peach_cube Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Also some other neat tidbits about the Gregorian Calender... [quote]Catholic countries adopted the Gregorian calender first (Instituted in October 1582, 10 days were eleminated in October in order to get the seasons back into agreement due to errors of the Julian calender). Britain and its empire, including the American colonies, did not change until 1752. ( This is why George Washingtons birthday/ Presidents day never makes sense; George was born on February 11 in the Julian calender and the 22nd on the Gregorian!) Czarist Russia never did adopt the Gregorian calender. The revolutionary government did, however; so the anniversary of the "October" Revolution was celebrated in November in the Soviet Union.[/quote]
homeschoolmom Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 and that's why the Orthodox celebrate Christmas in January.
track2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 There is no way this will ever work. I mean Indiana can't even biuld a highway between Evansville and Indy, we've been debating it for 25 years! And unless America is behind this I really doubt it will happen. Silly UN

[/quote] what's up w/ april 15th? i'm a conservative and i think we should tax people with high incomes more than we should tax poor people. poor people wouldn't be so poor if we didn't take out so much taxes, right? 10% of 10,000 makes a bigger difference in survival in the US than 10% of 1 million. so why are they taxed the same?... okay, back to the calendar.

[/quote] But is paying $100,000 to the government the most beneficial way the money can affect the economy? That money could be used for spending on goods (companies that sell good improve), giving to charity, or putting into a small business. Also, many people such as doctors end up having to spend a good portion of their income on liability insurance. The dems want to increase their taxes and not reform the court systems (yes, I was watching the convention tonight ). /End rant
Guest T-Bone Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Dudes...we're debating the UN and their stupid New Age calander, not the Democrats and thier love of taxing the working class...
Guest T-Bone Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 WAR? They had a few good songs...I guess they were an OK band...not great, but OK.
