to continue along with ridiculous theme of Santa changing history for the betterment of society, instead of altering the shape of the pyramids, me thinks he should have altered the forced-labor that built them.

i'm not a fan of this theme, because it's a slippery slope. you "freed" Java's native people's from colonialism earlier. now you have to do it for everybody.

i am sadistically looking forward to how Santa is going to fix israel-palistine situation by traveling back in time.

There is something about time travelling you should know. History can be changed but not rewritten in the present lol col

Dear J. Albert Bowden II,

1. I respect that you are not a fan, however – you decided that was the theme when in truth, the makers decided that Santa simply would take part in a major historical event. Whether he changes history or is just a catalyst for what happened is up to the discretion of the makers.

2. Check your facts – the pyramids were most likely not built by slave labor. They were built by skilled workers who were provided with housing and pay in addition to two days rest a week. Considering the skill it took to build the pyramids, there is no way untrained and unpaid slavery could have built them.

3. The Dutch were not only in Indonesia for coffee. They also went for nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, mace, cubeb, cacao, tobacco, rubber, sugar, and opium. Therefore, Santa giving them coffee is hardly freeing Indonesians from Dutch monopolies and colonialism.

4. This is a comic intended solely for humor, not as a law. The makers don’t have to do anything “for everybody”, because the comic is not making contractual political promises. Just enjoy what you can, forget the rest, and have fun entering the contest for the prizes. smile

Also, you might want to check the definition of sadism. Quite frankly, I would hope you do not get sexual pleasure out of international tragedies!

Cheers smile Lauren

Your ignorant nonsense was already refuted by ellecassidy, but you do realize you've made a complete fool of yourself, right?

The pyramid workers were not slaves, as she said.

i'm not a fan of this theme, because it's a slippery slope. you "freed" Java's native people's from colonialism earlier. now you have to do it for everybody.


Why? If you help one person you have to help everyone? You are a fool.

The situation isn't fixed, so how could he go back in time and fix it?

You fail, idiot.
