    It's not that they're being rude it's just that if you're taking something that you need to get rid of and just giving it to someone as a Christmas gift you're basically pawning your unwanted items off on someone else. It's similar to when someone gets married and they get a ton of gifts for their wedding and then start regifting the things that they don't want anymore.

    The thing is that there's really no thought put into the gift. You didn't buy the tablet for the person you're giving it to you bought it for yourself and then found something you liked better to so you bought that and decided to give the old one to that person.

    I've had it happen to me before. Someone gave me something that they didn't know what to do with and it was something that I really didn't want in the first place. I was grateful for getting the gift, but when you put so much thought into getting someone a gift and they don't put the same thought and respect into a gift for you it's a little rude.

    If you're giving a used item as a gift it amounts to a white elephant gift, albeit a very nice one. The only exception to this would be a collectible/antique or something that most people would buy used because it's prohibitively expensive (like a car or a house). Giving a tablet that you've used is the same as buying a used tablet to give as a gift. Whether the recipient has a right to complain about it or not depends on the gift exchange history and relationship between the gifter and the recipient. I wonder why the gifter didn't just return the tablet from October and buy two new ones in November. The gifter sounds very immature/childish to me.

    What's a tab??

    Whatever it is if you just gave it to them because you didn't want it anymore then that is kind of rude but if you intended to buy it for them the whole time and this is how it worked out then they should be happy that you got them a good expensive gift.

    Early christians had no longer something to do with this, it replaced into rome that needed it this manner for financial motives. What you may desire to undergo in strategies is that the bible replaced into compiled under the auspices of the roman emperor Constantine and his successors in an attempt to hold each and every of the distinctive perception platforms of the empire under a undemanding faith. the end result replaced into to be the generally occurring or catholic faith. The notice Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective ????????? (katholikos), meaning "generally occurring". there is not any longer something incorrect with this and that i do no longer advise for it to sound derogatory. you in simple terms would desire to realize that this is an amalgamation of the distinctive faiths and the dogma and theology of those perception platforms. Even assuming benevolence on the component of Constantine’s human beings, making this all make experience would have been a huge activity. The bible relied heavily on Jewish scripture and the hot testomony replaced into rather changed to assist Paul’s teachings, which blanketed such localized strategies as blood sacrifices to bathe away sins, virgin births and resurrection of deceased deities. regrettably a great number of the essential component of the Jesus theology replaced into lost interior the mixed mythology. A mythology replaced into created around a great instructor resembling the Buddha and he replaced into became into an amalgam of each and every of the Mediterranean deities. His teachings on love and non-judgment have been all yet lost in a maze of judgmental in lots of situations-vindictive gibberish that he would have never agreed with. regrettably lots of the main suitable teachings of all time have been all yet lost in Rome’s attempt to be all issues to everyone Love and reward Don
