Yes, Mr. Tallman, it is the thought that counts. A gift-giver is never under any obligation to give something that the receiver wants. Your examples of bad gifts merely illustrate the absurdity of your arguments.
Remind me to never give you a gift. I’d rather sell you something, with a “no returns or exchanges” sign prominently posted.
“Now, obviously, these are ridiculous and even sometimes evil gifts.”
The man is obviously a Hoplophobe. Gift are in inanimate
objects and therefore cannot ,in and of themselves, be evil.
Unless of course they are SUV’s or guns. </sarc>
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!
