If I might interject a statement here.
Saying things such as “Santa needs to have an apple stuck in his mouth and his caracass sent to Darfur,” is precisely the type of statement that loses us chapters and offends some people. While to some people that picture might be somewhat amusing, it is a sad state of affairs for a down on his luck mall santa. Besides shipping him to darfur wouldn’t help anyone, since he’d die and decompose in the middle of such genocide.
Correct me if I’m not wrong, but isn’t one of the pillars of Islam compassion and charity to people who have strayed from the path?
I would like to see those of who post here to reflect the STARFLEET that should be, not “the Fleet that really did fail.”

Are you holding me to a standard that you wouldn’t hold yourself or your co-religionists to? If so, stop wasting my time and yours.
To which I reply:
Sadly, that is what most religious people do, they turn their eyes and walk right past the unfortunate mall santa. Had I been there, I might have draped a coat over the half dressed drunk, then I would have tried to get him to a halfway shelter, or a church for help.
Am I hold you to a standard that I wouldn’t hold myself? No. The mandate of Star Fleet, at least according to Kirk was, “Let me help.” I believe I’d do the right thing and help the guy.

I’d like you to prove that, please. Sal says this kind of thing all the time, and he’s never given any data that supports this theory (even after being asked time and time and time again). If you’re going to make a claim, you should be able to back it up.
Here’s one. We just lost our XO. He’s leaving STARFLEET due entirely to actions of the current administration. Specifically, the divisive letter that they sent out, and the survey that he received well after the filing date. This isn’t anecdotal, this is evidentiary.
So, I have proof in hand that this administration is responsible for the loss of at least one member. What have you got?

Wow. If you’re going to start citing information from aired Trek, do please get it right. In “City on the Edge of Forever,” Edith Keeler divines from what Kirk is unwilling to say that he’s in some kind of trouble. “Whatever it is,” she says, “Let me help.”
” ‘Let me help.’ About a hundred years from now, a novelist will write a book based on that theme. He even recommends it over ‘I love you.’ ”
In James Blish’s adaptation of the episode, the novelist is called Bonner the Stochastic, but that’s apocryphal.

To borrow a religious quote for nearly inappropriate use, “Santa’s hat as 99 names.”

Damn it, that’s what I get for posting before coffee. I meant to write “Santa’s hat has 99 names.”

Santa needs to have an apple stuck in his mouth and his carcass sent to Darfur.

So… how do you that this is a mall Santa? I don’t see any backstory attached to the picture.
Bugger political correctness and sanctimonious nonsense.
