Big fancy weddings, the Kosovo myth, taking imaged of your naked newborn baby, proms, live music bands, presidential campaigns shown on the TV 24/7 for the whole month before the elections, advertisements in television and radio, having to pay access to a library-type website, marks/grades in schools and especially in colleges, journalists/speakers with annoying voice…

I’d replace it all with a bubble wrap.If you are doing all of this, just give a bubble wrap instead. If you’re forced to witness or are a victim of all of this, you just get a bubble wrap instead. Some people desperately need a bubble wrap. The whole world would be a better place of we all got one bubble wrap instead of being forced through dealing with all the bullcrap.

Obligatory gift exchanging.

My parents are gone.

My wife and I don’t do it anymore.

I still swap Target gift cards with my brother. However, I just regift the cards he gives to me for Xmas and my birthday.

You ask good questions @RedDeerGuy1.

Agree with the first 2.
I think I would like to get rid of the electoral college. No only because of this most recent fiasco, but once people understand what it is (which I’m still not 100% sure myself) I don’t blame them for thinking their vote won’t matter. So they don’t vote.

WAIT!!! I REMEMBER WHEN THE SMILEY FACE WAS INVENTED! I remember the first time I ever saw it, too. I was riding my horse through a neighboring town.

Christmas music in stores, use of the Bible in swearing-in ceremonies, pledging allegiance to flags

What’s wrong with Christmas music in stores?

Hearing a song the first time is fine, but by the 101st time it gets to be more than a little annoying.
