Well it was a pine tree, not a Christmas tree, that requires it to be cut down and covered in junk first.

Firt off lets get this right it is a Holiday Tree. After all we don't want to upset our muslim pals.

That would imply that there was a good M. Night Shaymalan movie made.

Unpossible.

The 45-year-old reported the damage to local police - and then cut the tree down to size and drove it home.

I know what the writer meant, but it still sounds funny - like the guy's car was damaged so he'll drive the tree in the meantime.

I'm sure he'll be pining for the VW until the repair shop can get his car spruced up.

Imagine if that happened in America? The guy would have probably tried to sue the property owner for emotional damages
As it is, the guy looked on the bright side, realized it was an act of god, and got a Christmas tree out of it. Pretty cool

Ah, but it has the potential to become a Christmas tree, therefore it has all the rights and is exactly the same as an actual Christmas tree.

It's that type of logic that led people to condemn birth control. How come the logic wasn't, it has the potential to become Ted Bundy so we must use birth control and terminate all pregnancies?

I have huge pines in my yard - I fear something similar to what happened in TFA, but not if it lands on my neighbor - he's a douche.

Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?

See, 'bark' is part of a tree, so there's a small pun in there. The two interrogatory statements were taken verbatim from a reasonably well-known movie called 'Reservoir Dogs'. The lines were delivered by Michael Madsen, a well-known treehugger, so really everything came full circle.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;

Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

Birth control is wrong. It should be left in God's hands whether or not a pine tree has saplings.
