The Christmas Spirit Of Staring Into Screens Together
Relatives Gather From Across The Country To Stare Into Screens Together
Turning on the television while unpacking tablets, iPhones, and laptops from their suitcases, members of the McPherson family communed from across the nation this holiday season for several straight days of staring into electronic screens while in the same room together, sources confirmed Friday.
“Nothing puts me in the Christmas spirit more than sitting down on the couch with my parents and siblings, turning on the TV, and then proceeding to either look at the screen or gaze down into my glowing tablet display for hours on end,” 28-year-old Andrew McPherson told reporters, adding that he always felt most connected to his relatives when they were both silently gazing into glowing screens of some kind.
“It’s just great to get home for a while and spend some quality time not speaking a single word to my relatives, whether that’s by sipping hot cocoa with my sister while we both check our emails, or by gathering the whole clan for a nice holiday meal where everyone is fixedly looking down at the text messages on their phones—’tis the season, you know?”
McPherson noted he was sad, however, that Grandpa Sam would not be there to stare into screens with them this year.

Isn't this what they call progress?
LOL FTW
So true though. Just unfucking real .... I use to do residential in house tech repair, and invariably all younger parental family house holds were exactly like this. The only people who could hold a conversation, or showed any inquisitiveness and basic humanity skills were much older people.
Now they are pushing the American Christmas lights use more energy than a small country does all year.
First they removed Christ with Xmas.
Then Happy Holidays
Now Christmas lights.
This world is Antichrist.
Nobody says other religion's holidays are exclusionary.
They are under demonic mind control which is why Christ said "forgive them for they know not what they do"
why didn't you know what you were doing? Because you were under demonic mind control.
We've declared war on everyone and everything worldwide. War on drugs, communism, terrorism, poverty, obesity, cancer, illiteracy, crime, etc. Now, we've reached the war on christmas. I wonder how much will this war cost the taxpayers? /sarc
Stops the confusion in the US airforce.Now they can just bomb anything with a cross on it and
not worry about it only being red.
If you really look into the roots of Christmas, you will find paganism all over the event. I personally read a KJV every day and do not acknowledge this holiday. The anti-Christ love December 25 and much sacrifice is accomplished on this day. Just the truth. I worship Christ every day of my life, It is not biblical to celebrate Christ birthday. You are right, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in highplaces. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
The whole armour includes the TRUTH!
Attempted MassDecep: You're the one either deflected by or actively promoting the spirit of Anti-Christ. You'll read in Luke 2 that the Blessed Mother of God kept all these things in her heart, yet you accuse her by implication of not knowing the day Her Son was born based on whatever inadmissible hearsay your false statements rely upon. Begone, Satan! Matthew 4:10.
ahaha, i promise i'm not from the usenet or a hacker
or anything \/ fuck the holy spirit. The bible in it's
finest translation prevents any electricity, selfishness, or pointless gift giving. read it and you'll see. (I've read the bible). Guess I'm different huh. :p
There's your problem right there... You're using a translated version...
Learn how to read Greek and Hebrew, understand it, then you can talk.
Christ was conceived near the end of December and born near the end of September.
The wise men brought gifts.
Luke 4:10 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart......It does not say, "Blessed Mother of God" . That is Mary worship and has its paganistic roots embedded deeply with nimrod. This, my friend is very evil.
I'll guarantee you, Mary would not condone worshipping her.
If ESPN had a show debating the finer points of the New Testament -- you guys would be the hosts.
"...for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." Luke 1:48. You skipped that part, Attempted MassDecep - disingenuously.
1) Elizabeth addresses her still-pregnant cousin Mary as "the mother of my Lord" (Lk 1:43). To the ears of anyone other than a bigot this is as clear a scriptural reference to the Divine Maternity as you will get.
2) To deny that Mary is the Mother of God is to deny that Jesus is God, since Mary is presented many times in Scripture as the mother of Jesus.
It follows that the Protestants, who pride themselves on their supposed knowledge of scripture, are not even Christian, since they deny the very foundation of Christian belief, which is the divinity of Jesus Christ. To repeat, if Mary is not the mother of God then Jesus is not God, since Mary was definitely the mother of Jesus.
Only the Catholic and Orthodox have preserved the fundamental truths of apostolic Christianity; for this reason it is easy to see why American so-called Christians are and always have been so easily led by Jewry, since they abandoned Christianity centuries ago. Protestant America and Protestant Britain are no more part of the Christian world than Saudi Arabia is.
Yuuuuuuup. You go to an SSPX mass center? I go to Our Lady of Fatima in Richmond. Good to see others out there who havent lost their minds.
I sometimes go to Tridentine Mass here in Ireland. It needs to come back, and the sooner the better. The Catholic Church took a turn for the worse in the 60s when they recommended the priest should turn his back on the tabernacle and offer the sacrifice to the people instead. This was at the same time "Israeli" tanks were rolling into Jerusalem to "reclaim" their Temple. For 1900 years the Catholic Church understood itself to be the New Israel, where the old Jewish Temple priesthood and Jewish Temple sacrifice were replaced once and for all by the Catholic priesthood and the Catholic Mass, yet in the space of a few years in the 1960s they threw all that away, and now the fake Israel is back staking its claim to the title.
Without a doubt the Catholic Church was infiltrated at that time. By the usual suspects.
there is no God... sorry, that's the truth, the rest is delusion and lies used to control you
Restaurant owners tell me the waiters are not good because they all grew up with computers and don't really know how to relate to real people.
In Massachusetts there is at least 1 news story about a motor vehicle hitting a building. Don't remember that happening when we had rear wheel drive and disc brakes.
What kind of NeoCon are you. That doesn't make any sense.
I think he is trying to say that there are a lot of incidents of vehicle accidents with drivers losing control and smashing into buildings & homes.
that's true. i also regularly get the jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com updates on weird fires, accidents, explosions, etc...it highlights the phenomenon of parked cars & trucks that for some reason ignite and burst into flames, everyday there are many such incidents occurring.
weird. Over 2,000 big rig tractor trailers burning up this year, boats burning up, tens of thousands cars burning up ...way over 100 people died from burning up in their cars ...school bus fires 300 ....
the numbers sound a lot - but we do have circa 300 million vehicles road ready so maybe it's not as bad as it initially sounds.

'Tis the season (to select new Darwin Award candidates).
Whole families sit at restaurant tables together staring at their phones whilst forking the occasional mouthful of food into their mouths. What they are not doing is talking to each other, so unless they are sending each other text messages then they are certainly not communicating.
Yes a very sad reflection on where we are heading!
The agenda rolls on unabated......

On the plus side, the family that continues to stare into screens cannot get into arguments or quarrels - Peace on Earth at last:
Teens' compulsive texting can cause neck injury, experts warn
Dean Fishman, a chiropractor in Florida, was examining an X-ray of a 17-year-old patient's neck in 2009 when he noticed something unusual. The ghostly image of her vertebral column showed a reversal of the curvature that normally appears in the cervical spine — a degenerative state he'd most often seen in middle-aged people who had spent several decades of their life in poor posture.
"That's when I looked over at the patient," Fishman says. She was slumped in her chair, head tilted downward, madly typing away on her cellphone. When he mentioned to the patient's mother that the girl's posture could be causing her headaches, he got what he describes as an "emotional response." It seemed the teen spent much of her life in that position. Right then, Fishman says, "I knew I was on to something."
He theorized that prolonged periods of tilting her head downward to peer into her mobile device had created excessive strain on the cervical spine, causing a repetitive stress injury that ultimately led to spinal degeneration. He began looking through all the recent X-rays he had of young people — many of whom had come in for neck pain or headaches — and he saw the same thing: signs of premature degeneration.

Yo!
Excessive Texting Can Lead to Carpal Tunnel SyndromeText messages may seem harmless enough, with flurries of “Yo’s,” “Sups?” and “I heart you’s.” Send 100 text messages a day – which the average teenager does - and you could end up with carpal tunnel syndrome, and an appointment with a surgeon’s knife.

Merry Christmas to All!
We're still allowed to say "Christmas" on the internet?
I thought His Majesty's Executive Proclamation, "Prohibition of Using Offensive and Insensitive Microagressive Language on the Internet Act of 2015" put a stop of this type of language that might hurt the sensibilites of certain peeples.
BBC runs a story every so often about the death of "Christianity" in Britain.
Here's the one from October : http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-34538402 - Christianity : Gone in One Generation

Edit: lighten up
The Good Lady and I usually go out to a very good, local restaurant for Christmas Lunch - VERY popular, hardly budget, and they are solidly booked from June onwards (lots of Interstate customers - they are THAT good!).
We get a nice table for two, by the window (always) whilst the larger tables are more centrally located. This year there was a typical Aussie family a few tables away - Mum, Dad, four kids, and we presume Grandparents (2 sets = 4). All ten of them came "attached" to their mobile phones, and all then of them were engrossed in said phones for the entire time we were there (1 1/2 hours). The worst thing was when the various courses arrived, they just shovelled everything down, whilst STILL playing with their 'phones, as well as guzzling quite a lot of booze - so hopefully no-one's driving home since they were certainly over the limit.
For a table for ten, the bill will be in excess of $2000 (Au), and that does not include the drinks. For the amount of interest they took in the food / surroundings / each other they may well have gone to McDonalds and saved themselves a LOT of money!
at a conversion rate of $1.37 / US$ that would be $1,455 US or $145 per person
tha'ts amazing number for even NYC - what were they eating?
My living room looks like a server room... every couch has 2 cables, one for a laptop and one for a tablet or phone, chromecast if we want to show our screens to everybody, 12 camera security system on a small tv next to the tv, and you can't just walk arround my living room because laptops and tables are almost all over the fucking ground.
Every time I sit down and I hear KKKRRR I know it's at least 600 euro's of damages right there.
It's almost important to find a empty wall socket in the house where there aren't batteries loading into.
What better way to spend the day if you don't want to really look inside yourself.
Why would I want to look inside myself? Are you a freak?
because it is why you are here, wanna come back and do it all over again, but with less comfort so that
you are forced.
Know thyself, that is what building your house on a rock refers to. That is the first step, a requirement.

So many wires for a wireless world.
So much paper for a paperless world.
All I see is paper and wires, and with every thing we buy, it now requires operation instructions for the simplest thing...and two or three wires, that once unpackaged, are unidentifiable as to their purpose or device. Drawers and boxes of wires for god know what, but I dare not throw any away given I can never find the one I need.

Just got back from my uncle’s house. He set aside the cardboard tubes from all the wrapping paper for the kids to play with. We let the kids play outside with the tubes and they had a blast … no toys …. no plastic crap ….. no iShit …… no games ….. just good old fashion used tubes of cardboard …. The kids had the best time of their life. The way it should be …. They all passed out in the car driving home – go figure.
That's really good to hear. My neighbor is on the verge of bankruptcy since he got fired about 6 months ago from his energy-related job ... YET ... he bought all three of his kids $600 brand new iCrap.
Some people never learn. Meanwhile, he's blaming everyone else for his predicament. Granted some of it is beyond is control but when he does stuff like this I have no mercy when they boot him out of his house.
On the bright side, the kids will have brand new gadgets to play with in the U-Haul truck during the move to an apartment somewhere.
total bullshit...why make up things?

I love reading the comments by our resident luddites put down the younger generations novelty.
There is a picture on the net of a bunch of white guys in the us taking a train all had news papers they were leaning over and reading.
The other half of the picture shows people nowadsys looking at they phones doing what they want because they have that god given right.
And the luddites on here group up to make fun of people.
And people say we are free.
Not with people who would rather condemn their fellow man and suckle at their government!
'Mericans have perfected hypocricy to an artform.
I blame xtianity and its silly ko$her sky god worship.

Same propagandist system, different times.
Oh I bet the same shit happens where you are too. Hell, I bet your doing it now.
What else would you do on a long train or plane ride. Those pictures you saw were of Wall Streeters taking the hours long train ride home to Conneticut. Yet before phones people did not whip out papers or books while waiting for their fast food order to appear. Or when they were standing in line at the DMV, Walmart, or wherever. Or while they were walking wherever. You saw them conversing unlike in recent times where they sit next to each other and text back and forth. They sure weren't reading newspapers as they drove their cars yet now texting while driving is an epidemic. They didn't demand that their employers give them newspaper time during their work periods. Luddites my ass. A friend of mine had his son and his wife on his phone plan cost $20 a month. They ditched the old man and got smart phones $180 a month and constantly whining about having no money. On another site a couple bragged about how they were saving $2000 a year by ditching smart phones. One has to wonder how many of those people having no money to buy a car, house, or pay their loans etc are addicted to phones and paying thousands per year. If you believe in climate change every text puts plenty of CO2 into the air so by texting rather than conversing with the people next to you you're destroying the planet. There's a real problem here and you're sticking your head in the sand and name calling. My phone costs me $6 a month and never use it. Bought it for emergencies.
peer pressure is enormous with millenials - social media is meaningful validation to them - so the smart phone becomes a car in a way for another generation in terms of social acceptance
anti-social media
Listen up sonny.
I was playing with computers fifty plus years ago.It had punch cards and took up most of an entire floor.
My first cellphone was the Motorolla brick and cost $4k back in the early 1980's.
They are tools, not your raison d'etre.They are an adjunct to your real skills, not a subsitute
for those real skills.
I'm scared for a narcissistic generation that has no social, or any other skills, that won't survive ten minutes
when SHTF, a mathematical certainty, Proficiency in texting is not going to save your sorry arse.
Winston you just had to bring up those darn punch cards!!! I too had one of those huge phones that looked like a huge walkie talkie and weighed 5 lbs. I thought I was moving on up when I go the bag phones that weighed 10 lbs and you carried it around like a purse!. I just bought a smart phone as most of the people that work for me do not answer their phones, but if you text them they respond quickly.
My one rule at home is no phones at the dinner table or when we are going out to eat. This works for me. I just had to laugh when I was visiting my son in Bremerton. We head over to his friend's house to celebrate the 4th of July and everyone greets one another, then they ask for the modem password and all of them are trying to hook into it. That was so funny.
Many people dislike the current phones but where would we be without some of the legitimate videos of excessive use of deadly force by our local law enforcement authorities. Yes on the flip side it can be used for things as well.
heh. Spend some time on worldstarhiphop.com, you'll love it!
"I'm scared for a narcissistic generation that has no social, or any other skills"
I agree. The boomers are dangerous.
The boomers are narcissists , but had skills.
The spawn, not so much, just the narcissism.

I think we are past talking. The truth is all too ugly and the lies too transparent for any meaningful conversation.
We just sit at home and enjoy each others company. All idiot boxes off until after a grand meal. Other than travel to relatives homes we never go out as we think all should enjoy the day off. I can remember a time when everything was closed from about noon on Christmas Eve. Now most businesses are open and opening Christmas day trying to suck that last dollar. Very little humanity left in this nation.
Very little humanity left in this nation.
we would have plenty of it if they could figure out how to financialize it.
merry Huxley-mas!
Now that is novel.
And they say everything has already been said, and written, and done.
On a positive I guess it cuts down on Christmas arguments.
Merry Christmas from down under. Hope you all have a great 2016. Cheers, Terri from New Zealand.
Give everyone in Dunedin a hug for me. I spent two months there awhile back studying the birds (mostly albatross). It's a great place with nice people.
You will have to come back for a holiday sometime. You might enjoy Auckland they have a very large gannet colony out near Piha beach, Muriwai gannet colony,not that far from where they filmed the movie The Piano. Also it is a lot warmer here than Dunedin!
Merry Christmas Kiwi! I've always dreamed of going to Austrailia. Someday....
You will have to go to both countries then,New Zealand and Australia. Good luck, kiwis are nicer though!
I worked with a Kiwi guy.
A total drunk and a mental case to boot.
We had a blast. Great guy.
Merry Christmas from the opposite side of the world (Alaska).
How's the weather there 'orelius'?
All of Sweden is finally going to get snow and normal cold, minus C weather.
½ ofthe country had no snow, non-freezing weather/ below 0 C upuntill now.
It is balmy 10F here right now (-12'C) with about 2 feet of snow on the ground - I can't really complain! Great weather to ride a snowmachine (a snowmobile in Alaska lingo). Last week we had 20 below temperatures + 30 mph winds with a windchill of -40F, you were either cutting and splitting firewood or just staying inside :)
Hope you hada Merry Xmas 'kiwigal'; at the moment it's 11:00 in Sweden, the "Day-After Christmas".
It's a holiday here too. We celebrate Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, 2nd Day of Christmas.
Kin'da neat actually. 3-Days of Holiday in a row.
Sure beats New Jersey where I grew-up.
& Yes, let's hope 2016 is a better year, minus the impending financial crash etcetc.
:) X-
What happens when the grid goes down? Massive, mental meltdown I suppose.
The bossman once told me, there was a planned power-cut for some PG&E upgrades in his neighborhood in San Jose, and the community was notified well in advance. Come the morning of the power-cut, people were out in the streets, frantic and freaking out, wondering when the power will come back. "HELP US! HEEELP!" He had to calm some people down that morning.
Then you got all the people who start calling 911 when farcebook goes down, etc.
Massive Mental Meltdown indeed.
We had a power outage one night...it was so dark I had to feel my way to the kitchen to get a candle lit.
There's a knock on the door...it's the asian neighbor kid. He was the only one in his family that barely spoke a word of english.
He asked if I had a candle they could use. After I handed him the candle, he paused..."do you have a match"?
If you want a hint, just look at all the zombie movies and the "zombie drills" the military/DHS have been conducting lately.
Those are the people who will be begging and screaming for the video chip to be placed in front of their retina.

Xmas = Saturnalia
Sheesh.
My eyesight isn't nearly that good.
I threw an extra $20 Christmas bonus at my niece today after she told me she left her phone at home because she wanted to talk with the family. She did not want to be bothered by stupid classmates sending her bullshit all day. I have NO clue where she got this from as her parents are both brain dead zombies. Maybe there is some hope for a small percentage of the youth today.
Yeah well....talk about zombies. You gave her money!
And her battery was probably dead.
You fell for it.
"Yeah well....talk about zombies. You gave her money!"
So her ignoring the normal teenage BS is me falling for it? She played games with the family instead of watching A Christmas movie that has been replaying for 24 hours straight. She volunteered to help put away food and clean up without being guilted into it. I guess the fact the I gave her a choice of 3 silver eagles or a $50 bill before that and she wanted the eagles makes both of us brain dead zombies and your the self righteous all knowing superstar.
Her parents give her nothing because they need the newest $600 phone. She is 14 and already works 2 part time jobs (babysitting & house cleaning) and that is 2 more jobs than her lazy mother. So her acting like an adult and working, getting good grades, having critical thought and going to church because she thinks it's the right thing to do makes me the zombie for rewarding her?
When you grow up and stop paying for sex and wearing your hat sideways, you will see that people will reward you for being a big boy. The next shift your work at the gas station or Walmart, try going above and beyond standing there with you mouth open. Who knows, maybe you will get rewarded as well.
On the bright side, this is the first year I didn't have to hear Christmas music.
I subjected Wifey to some of Telarc's superb 24 bit 192khz SACD offerings of organ music.
Every now and then I like to dust off my Aperion Audio's 65 lb. S-12 subwoofer and flex some 2X4's and those low register pipes will do the trick. Joe Bach knew how to rock the house although the French composers are more melodious and fluid.
I got her to come out of the bedroom with some Alison Kraus and Nora Jones, both who have beautiful high res recordings, at a more sedate volume.
It's bad enough that kids have their faces stuck in a phone all the time but the biggest crime is that they listen to crappy compressed and mangled MP3 music and don't know or care about the sheer beauty of high resolution music, the recording engineers artistry and what it offers.
Jobs and his shitty iTunes have ruined a generations appreciation and knowledge of high fidelity and traded it for expediency and convenience.
McMusic...Bah Humbug.
ugh, lived in that area 7+ years and not surprised...
Drat, the Onion has scooped me again. I was at my brothers house for Christmas yesterday and after we were all done opening presents, I noticed this scene: My dad is asleep, my aunt is playing Farm Heroes on her cell phone, her daughter is texting her boyfriend, my brother and his wife are trying to set up an internet-connected crock pot, my niece is playing Candy Crush, her brother is making funny faces into his phone to send to his Snapchat friends, and her other brother is showing my mother how to play Candy Crush on her new Amazon Fire. It makes me wonder why we ever bothered to drive all those many combined miles to ever get together.
It's a worldwide thing by now. Every shop, even those roadside eateries, provides free wifi in China. A couple months back, at a road side eatery in a remote area some 13,000ft above sea level, I witnessed the same behaviors at nearly each table there.
I see this at work every night......people in a line waiting to clock off.....no one talking....everyone staring into their screen.....
Steve Jobs.....thanks so much......
you turned people into schizoid zombies who weren't schizoid......
