'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves".
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.
So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!
The runners had been removed from his sleigh;
The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.
Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened."
And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.
So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.
And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion
That making a choice could cause so much commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.
Nothing that might be construed to pollute.
Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.
Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.
No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.
For they raised the hackles of those psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.
No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.
So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.
He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,
you've got to be careful with that word today.
His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.
Something special was needed, a gift that he might
Give to all without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;
Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on earth."

I had to add it to the list and I felt really lazy so I copy/pasted it.
I just saw lies and slander there.
"one of the three great modpacks that rule over the modding world with a silver grip of sparkly fabulousity. Out of all three, it is the most fabulous without a doubt." Too much fanboyness?
"Ars Magica. No other mod pack is allowed to use these mods." Wrong!
"You want Ars Magica in your mod pack? All you need to meet are three simple conditions:
- Your mod pack needs a link back to this forum post
- You cannot make any money off of the mod pack
- You cannot claim that you made any part of the mod, and you must give credit to the author of the mod (Mithion)
"Unlike the Technic Launcher who does not ask permission for many of it's mods. " That is the bad image from 1.1 era, Official Packs made by Technic Team got perms and 3rd Party Packs without perms are quickly removed.
"FTB has created roughly thirty public mod packs that can be easily accessed by anyone through the launcher." Technic Platform says "Hi!"
" The system FTB has is amazing because unlike what Technic has, you don't have to create an entirely new pack just to add a single mod! " What?
"Unlike packs like Technic, FTB has a multitude of professional minecraft video makers " Riiight... >.>
"crappy youtube videos just to find one mildly good one. " Same happened with FTB now.
" Forums like Technic support things like flaming. Not the FTB forums, they have a no nonsense policy that puts a stop to flaming and insults as soon as they happen." *Looks at NTT and RP2 Threads*
And I am not even taking account stuff like ATLauncher.
This is one thing that FTB definiitely has over technec. Since the FTB launcher uses multiMC as its core launcher, it can load jar mods and disable them without a hassle. What technic does is it has all of the jar mods installed into a "modpack.jar" file, and when the pack launches, it installs that over the minecraft.jar. This means for the fellows that don't want optifine in their pack will have to pick through the modpack.jar and delete only the files that optifine uses, then install forge over it again. And the older packs have somnia. I frankly don't like somnia too much, so to uninstall it, I have to download a fresh copy of it to see what files to remove, then open the jar and delete those files. It's tedious and frustrating when you accidentally delete the wrong class file. It is also very tricky to install a pack on multiMC. You have to manually download the jar mods, and if you don't get the right versions, then things start breaking. With FTB, you check a box in multiMC and all of your FTB instances show up in the main interface, ready to be played.
And the technic guys do allow fights, to an extent. You generally are not allowed to call someone a fag for no reason.
Just to expand on a fight topic, they have a section dedicated to showing off major ones( i.e. Lowerchild vs. lexmanos) but they (to my understanding) dont allow them ramdomly.
