Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas
lights. Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL lights,
just the fake led lights. I looked at all the big box stores,
including Lowe's, Home Depot, and Target. All I could find was
the fake led lights.

So, I bought a set of led lights strings with C7 led lights.
50 lights on a string, total wattage of 3.7 watts. They say
these are much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. But,
I have seen that you get what you pay for. These lights are
dull and weak looking.

Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside
Christmas lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?

Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas
lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when
some kid in Nigeria is starving .

The ONLY reason some kid in Nigeria is starving is because its moron
mommy didn't have the sense to keep her legs closed.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, you are a *racist asshole*.

**** off.

Well played :O)

UV light, skin color linked
Variations due to geography
Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO ‹ Two San Francisco scientists using data from a NASA
satellite say they have discovered why people come in different colors.

Variations in human skin color are the result of adaptations to the
amount of ultraviolet light from the sun falling on different regions of
Earth, according to Nina Jablonski and George Chaplin, scientists with
the California Academy of Science.

Thanks for that.

Just more evidence that the whole idea of "race" when applied to the
human species is pretty much scientifically discredited as being of any
consequence. Yes, there are biological differences between "races"
(e.g., susceptibility to sickle-cell anemia in blacks), but they're
mainly swamped by the overall similarities.

Hell, there was a time when it was widely accepted that different human
"races" couldn't even interbreed. (And not that long ago when it was
widely accepted that they *shouldn't* interbreed ...)
