I am told it began back in Merry old England as a servants holiday the extra food from the the masters feast was boxed up and the hired help could take it home. It has since evolved into a shopping holiday. Involving returns and such, The sales are spectacular though. I used it as a reason to get a day off, here in the states explaining that it was important religious holiday for my Canadian boyfriend.
The best answer I ever got that made sense is from a Canadian who said "we all go back to the mall and spend the afternoon in line to return the crap we dont want in it's original packaging....hence 'BOXING DAY'.
Another one said that everyone in Ottawa in 1788 put boxes on their heads and ran around and the first person of the opposite sex you hit into head first and knocked down was your spouse".
I suspect somewhere between them both lies the truth.
I live down the road from Claire's hometown of Houston, it's a rutted potholed gravel road that washes away every time it rains. She's way too literate to fit in here.
I sometimes read articles from The Root, and I've noticed some "shitting on allies" in a few of them recently. Didn't look at the byline; will have to pay more attention in the future. All women were once considered chattel too. We've had to struggle for our rights (and we do still) and recognition as full citizens of these here United States!
In fairness to John Podesta, he apparently did flag the suspicious email and IT told him it was safe to click on. Maybe that’s some made up shit after the fact, but the IT guy owned it. But I ageee with your premise for a basic internet security course.
Hi, just a quick note from your friendly neighborhood comments moderator: Could you maybe not just fly off the handle at other readers, which is what you've been doing this whole thread? (yes, others have been idiots here, too) We try to have a comments section where people aren't regularly telling each other to fuck off. Thanks.
Please review the rules.

reminds me of the episode of "King of the Hill" where Hank got a message from the video store claiming he never returned a certain porn tape and was going to be charged so Bill anonymously lent Hank his copies so Hank could prove that particular movie couldn't have been available having to do with the timing of the tattoo on the actress' buttocks
I've fallen for the ploy with the Indians with a strong accent "calling from Microsoft to update your security" at least a couple times. Fortunately, I got a refund the first time and realized it was a scam halfway through the second time (one was at work and one at home.)
All of you is one asshole who is super into maintaining the narrative that they aren't a misogyny apologist. And I don't give a shit what some self deluded bigot fucking thinks. So why don't you go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

Exactly. I can only imagine if the Democrats had North Korea hacking republican email accounts and releasing them to the world. Heads would explode.
Why don’t we bring back Todd Akin to run against her. He seemed like a nice chap.
Good call. Let's just let him win and then keep the Senate in Republican hands. That'll learn her.
(Oh, by the way, he's far more conservative. Being a Missouri Republican, and all)

I'm not the one trying to prove to myself I'm not a bigot. Enjoy that and best of luck.

Ohohohoho. So droll. I can't believe no one has snapped you up with that razor fucking wit.
I'm not here to do fucking research for you lazy asshole.
I called you a misogynist for defending misogyny.
