Anyone else against cutting & killing the trees just for decorative purposes?
A plastic tree would do just fine, I personally don't see the purpose of this slaughter. Even if they were grown in " nurseries " for just this purpose, it really saddenes me to see such beauties dying stocked up in supermarkets or someones living room.

Every year, just like clockwork.  :banghead:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Kroger was selling these midget trees, about two and a half feet tall.  They're perfect for people like me who don't like decorating.

I think I'm going to pick one up this weekend.

And they wonder why their families don't enjoy having them around.
They bitch and moan about everything.

Wouldn't the petroleum used to make the plastic trees hurt mother earf?
I thought they were against using cheap stuff made in China.

Real trees are a part of the tree union and they need those jobs at Christmas time. Plastic trees are scabs.

Leave it to a DUmmie to compassion a working tree out of work.

Hey DUmmie....did it ever occur to you that the Christmas trees we cut down would never have existed in the first place?  Just think of them as tree abortions and rejoice.

Exactly.  They are planted ONLY because they are worth so much money several years later.

We are going to cut down one of our own trees this year, for the first time ever!   :yahoo:  I found a small stand of junipers all crowded together, so we're going to start thinning by taking one to decorate this year.  I am so excited.   :-)

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

On one of the outer edges of my families home place farm is a strand of about 8 Blue spruce trees my dad started decorating for Christmas yrs ago. They can be see for miles coming down the highway. Over the yrs folks have donated lights,power cords etc to keep the trees lite. Even the local power company started to donate the power used to light them for up to 30 days.

I love Christmas lights.  One year I had them in all the trees and bushes outside. The meter dial on my electrical box was spinning like a top.

Plastic trees huh ?

The same inorganic plastic trees that are produced with the rich black ooze that's torn straight from mother earths rent breast by the hated oil companies and fed through a murder mill by another giant capitalist pig company , before being sold by yet another capitalist pig company ?

The same plastic trees that will end up in one of those poison pits known as a Landfill  ?

Oh most sacred mother Gaia and fellow earth soldiers ! Won't someone please think of the enviromenths !

Ugh, that Lorax is Hopehoops avatar.  I'm become allergic to it, the same way with Sabrina's iceskates. 

The DUmmies head would have exploded had she had the same job I did at a groundwood papermill.  The tree is snipped from the ground, cruelly taken from its home to a belching factory.  There it is waterboarded.  Then, it is callously tossed into a huge drum with its brothers and sisters, where they are spun and tossed around and the very force of their colliding skins them alive!!  Then they're ground up into pulp, further refined, and then baked alive on a paper machine!!

Then, it's turned into Christmas wrapping paper.  Merry Christmas!

Pull that poor drowned tree out of the river, cremate it and spread the ashes in your yard....it's the least you can do for the poor thing.
