The politically correct greeting is "Happy Holidays", which has
come to replace "Merry Christmas" in this country. This is
because the Jews don't like "Merry Christmas", which excludes
them.

I have never said "Happy Holidays", and I never will.

You must get a lot of "Yo, gobshite" where you are. Wherever you
are.

And here we all are, at the top of the year, wishing the best to
our fellows. Jovial Yule, fellows!

i used to think wearing a jacket and tie was a violation of my

just putting on a jacket and tie.

I can't do that, because it's a lie - something someone else expects.

Do you walk around naked because other people "expect" you to wear
clothes? Do you ***** on fire hydrants because people "expect" you not
to? Do you yap loudly in movie theaters because others "expect" you to
be quiet? Is wearing clothes and not pissing in public or talking
during movies "lying" because it's a violation of your personal
integrity?

Of course, the idea is a real classic in the self-destructive ASD
subculture that celebrates isolation and alienation: doing anything
because it's expected or customary or caters to an "old fashioned,
conservative" (Hi, Alvin!) social convention is somehow being untrue to
your Self, a failure to "put yourself first" that makes you one of
those most miserable and contemptible of all creatures, a "People
Pleaser".

But give me a fucking break. Is your sense of Self so shallow that
"You" can't be "You" if you put on a tie?

It was really, really hard and weird for me to put on a tie when I
applied for my first job. I hadn't worn one since the last time I went
to Sunday School like 15 years earlier. My roommates looked on me as
some sort of traitor to what we now think of as PC values, especially
since I was not only wearing a tie, I was applying for a job with an
evil utility company (never mind that we of course used electricity
ourselves and were one of their customers). But I did it 'cos it was
expected, and refusal to do so would have amounted to a conspicuous act
of defiance that was unlikely to make my prospective co-workers feel
good about maybe working with me.

I got the job. After a while, I experimented with not wearing a tie,
because my main problem with wearing a fucking tie is not that it's a
"lie" but that it's uncomfortable (what idiot thought this up, anyway,
this idea that "proper dress" has to include tying a rope around your
neck? I breathe through that thing!) It was fun watching people say
hello to me in the elevator, their eyes quickly and uncontrollably
darting down to my tie-less chest; I got some idea of what it must be
like to be a woman with big boobs! But nobody ever said anything to me
about it, and so I and this one other guy were Those Two Guys Who Don't
Wear Ties. But it would have been OK even if I had to wear it, and in
fact one (exactly one) later job *did* require me to wear a tie. Big
fucking deal! It wasn't like I was a Jew (Hi, Miserable Adolf!)

straightening my hair and bobbing my nose and changing my name in order
to "pass". It wasn't like I was "selling out" any real values and
betraying my conscience. I was just me wearing a tie.

Last time I wore a tie was late 2001. I really don't like ties, I'm not
sure where the hell the few I have even are. But if I found myself in a
social situation where wearing a tie was expected, I would wear a tie,
because wearing the fucking tie would be much less of a big deal than
making some sort of misguided "statement" ("Look at me! I'm not a
People Pleaser!") by refusal to do so.

DSM-IV-TV.

Tell me, why do you place so much faith in that particular "diagnosis"
when the book it comes from is written by doctors who you have stated
are all quacks? This I do not understand and it seems to me you just
like the idea of being able to point to a reference in a book or on-
line and say, "there, that's me" when anyone asks what your problem
is. You're trying to justify your odd behaviour instead of looking for
an answer to it. Stop fannying around and get to a doctor.
