I am officially 2 Stalins. Isn't that nice? Posts: 622 Group: Members Member #249 Joined: Dec 15, 2015	So here is a thought I have been thinking for a few years: should Santa Claus be banned? I think that Santa claus teaches a lot of negative things to kids. He goes to countries without permission (Illegal Entry), He spies on people without their consent (stalking), breaks into people's homes (Breaking and entering),without people's consent, and leaving what you want to the expense of a stranger that could potentially leave dangerous items behind (Criminal Threat). All of these could be charged for felon. If Santa Claus was watched, he would be arrested on pretty much any country he was in. He is not doing good, but bad. The cultural custom of Santa Claus is unethical and counterproductive to the greater good. It is not only wrong to teach children to believe in the existence of a fictional character, it sets up an unhealthy mindset lacking in skepticism. But more concerningly, a criminal is being loved as a figure of goodness. Some may handwave this criminal behaviour away by saying Santa gives gifts. But it's a cruel lie that justifies the act of parents. It would be more healthy for children to be aware of having recieved gifts from their parents than to be told it came from a stalker with a habit of breaking into people's houses at night while everyone is sleeping. This cultural custom makes an unhealthy mindset while not fact-checking, and glorifies someone who would be despised and hated if anyone else were to take part in those same criminal actions that he does like stalking and breaking and entering. Santa Claus is teaching children that all of this is OK, and should be encouraged to make people "happy". This is absolutely unacceptable for the minds of children, and I think should be abolished immediately. If Santa Claus is not banned, then at least make sure your child knows from his first Christmas that Santa is NOT the one delivering those presents. Santa, I think, teaches very wrongful things to children, encourages felonies, and encourages lying, even if you don't celebrate Christmas. Edited by Ethuoze, Feb 10 2016, 03:59 AM.

True about the stalking, kids should really be crept out that they are told that a man is watching them 24/7 for 365 days a year. Also Ethuoze another point for this legend for this to be banned is that Christmas was meant to celebrate Jesus's birthday but now it's time where big corporations make big bucks in the name of Jesus's birthday.
