Rudolph is basically a Christmas version of Ender Wiggins.
(does Dante mention any animals in the 1st circle? Non-philospher non-featherless non-biped animals, that is...)
The old testament was quite clear about creating man and woman explicitly.
Do you have an example of a religion that is more vague and therefore more inviting to evolution?
Santa Claus is a free man on the land sovereign citizen
That said, it expired a few days ago; I don't know if it was ever renewed.
- "Still, the Canadian government was careful to drive home the point that it believes Santa's workshop lies within this country's territory. [...] As The Globe and Mail first reported earlier in the month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a last-minute intervention in Canada's planned submission to the United Nations commission that is accepting claims for seabed rights in regions such as the Arctic. Mr. Harper asked Canadian bureaucrats to go back to the drawing board and craft a more expansive claim for ocean-floor resources in the polar region after the proposed submission they showed him failed to include the geographic North Pole."
One of those euphemisms for a while, in the UK, was "gone to Devon". I think it arose naturally from gone to heaven being miss-heard. Devon is a popular holiday destination, so going to Devon is a reasonably often heard phrase. Even young enough Devonian (1) children could probably manage to accept that as an explanation!
I can remember being aged around six in an infant school in West Germany. I'm a British Army brat, this was around 1976. We were sat in a circle around the teacher and assistant towards the end of the day and they were asking questions like what were we going to do for the holidays. Several kids responded that they were going to the UK. I had no idea what they were on about. It wasn't important enough to me at the time to ask and I obviously found out later. Even later on, I discovered just how complicated "the UK" really is as a group of entities!
(1) I have ancestry going back sixteen generations in Devon and Cornwall, a thicket in Northants, and a direct male line that vanishes into Hanover. Oh and possibly a C18 serial killer from near Devizes.
But you have a point in that a minor can't consent to a legal contract.
And parent is clearly abusing his authority position, possibly with implied threats.
But perhaps it's hard to santa to do his job without this data.
$5 gift certificate to 7-11 is the standard gift for everyone without tracking
I suppose that was the metaphor ?
- there are 1000s of recycling numbers
- color was invented in the mid 20th century, "back in the black & white days"
- giving random sounds to toys (trex goes neigh)
- he told my sister he could fly. She believed it was happening for a moment when he slowly flapped his hands & went up on tippy toes
- accidentally he explained to her a scifi short story where martian colonies seek indepence by collecting water from Saturn's rings. She wasn't corrected until she brought it up at school, where her real father was a bit annoyed about my father feeding her nonsense all the time
Overall good upbringing & it's good to teach kid's not to be so gullible
Also people always forget that the scope of the GDPR is limited. The following three areas are generally exempt:
- Personal or household activities
- Law enforcement
- National Security
The trick is to not track good children at all, only those bad ones. I'd you leverage sanction lists (that exist already) to track the bad children, you have all cases covered.
Any Santa related contractor (Santa helpers, elves, etc) have to check a sanction list to see if they can finalize a transaction with said child.
As for lists: when a child sends a request for particular gift, it starts a formal transaction. The other entity is legally allowed to process said child's data to provide the service they agreed upon.
Kids that have not sent a letter to Santa and are not mentioned in sanction lists, can still get gifts but Santa lacks profiling metadata and can only provide generic, unprofiled gifts. Which is good as already have sufficient amount of Bluetooth speakers and Paw Patrol toys.
