Tiny Tim, like some of us, was ostensibly doomed. “A Christmas Carol” teaches that no one, not even a real scrooge like Scrooge, can resist the appeal of an ostensibly doomed child....
...As the tale begins, Scrooge is not merely stingy and mean. He is a Social Darwinist. He believes in workhouses and prisons to meet the needs of the poor and in starvation to reduce the surplus population...
...filled with vulgarity, degradation of other's sexual preferences, one sided attacks on people who choose not to engage in this sort of dialog and/or vile personal attacks simply for the enjoyment derived from this."

Unless of course the "vile personal attacks" were directed at a poster you didn't care for...by your friends...then it was fine. LOL
