First: Chanukah is Hanukah is Hanuka is Chanuka is whatever way you want to spell it. The Hebrew transliterates various ways into English. razz

Second: Chanukah is only similar to Christmas in that we give and get gifts. Otherwise, it's an obviously superior holiday, with an entirely different meaning.

Third: There's nothing religious about my holiday celebrations. I follow the summary of Jewish holidays with a more cultural/historical view; "Someone tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat!"

Fourth: Rob's a girl now because he realized that he could never be anywhere near as manly as me, and decided that it would be better to be a girl than to be shamed by the awesome masculinity that is Domnu/Iskander.

Everyone as in Frost Demon, and no, it's not. I figured he's an average guy who changed his avi to a female to support a random crossgendered avi movement. *shrugs*

1. I thought, based on the popular comic Lewis Black, that jewish people didn't have a "christmas" equivalent. They had their religious holiday of Hanukkah, which had no presents given historically.

"Hanukkah is celebrated by a series of rituals that are performed every day throughout the 8-day holiday. Some are family-based and others are communal. There are special additions to the daily prayer service, and a section is added to the blessing after meals. Hanukkah is not a "Sabbath-like" holiday, and there is no obligation to refrain from activities that are forbidden on the Sabbath, as specified in the Shulkhan Arukh.[29] People go to work as usual, but may leave early in order to be home to kindle the lights at nightfall. There is no religious reason for schools to be closed, although, in Israel, schools close from the second day for the whole week of Hanukkah. Many families exchange gifts each night, and fried foods are eaten." = Hanukkah on wiki

I may be mistaken. *shrugs* I'm not a Jew, nor do I know any Hebrew/Jewish people. Personally, I'd think that holiday would be just as silly as christmas, possibly more so because it goes on for 8 days.

I've always thought that male avs were better. >_> I tried a female av once, and it just didn't work.

Male ones are totally cuter... warning, my homosexual opinion may be biased.

I don't care that much about Rob's gender. Btw, I'm not really a guy named Jozeph Yinsen. My real name is Natasha. I just thought it would be cool if there was another girl masquerading as a guy to overcome the bullshit stereotype that girls aren't as smart in politics as guys.

And none of you at all know if I'm really a guy. wink razz

Er... you want to show that girls aren't as good in politics by pretending to be a bloke?

Comrade Kotka is definitely the member with the best head for politics and I am pretty sure she is in fact a she. Hell, in a year or so when shegets a bit more knowledge of the actual marxist texts and her 'instincts' are given the back up of actual marxism... I expect she'll be the best person in the guild.

That, and you know, we're commies. We don't have as many anti-woman hang-ups as the rest of society. And I emphasised 'as many' because we all do have some of those ideas. We may not realise it, but we do, because we come from a society that has them. Only with the development of a truly free society will the next generations be able to get rid of all this s**t.

And that's what we're fighting for.

AND I'm thinking of making my main go female as well. Just because I prefer female avis.

I think he means the commies. Even in the unlikely event he thought something positive about us, it would not be up for consideration here.
