you have to be so politically correct that you can no longer say Merry Christmas without some shit head getting all fired up about it. We were talking about this in the office today. Some douche bag in our city is starting shit over Christmas decorations in the front yard. This guy is Jewish and apparently offended by good old Santa and Rudolph in the front yard. He also for whatever reason is pissed about Nativity scenes (sp?) I am so angry about this. From now on I no longer give a shit. This whole f***ing "holiday" season I am saying Merry Christmas to everyone I see.
 
I just want the month of December to fly by. I hate this time of year. I don't know what to get the men. All of the women are getting jewelry.

When someone asks to exchange x-mas cards, I assume they won't get offended if I send them a Merry Christmas card.

This season was so much easier when I was anti-social.
 
Merry fucking Christmas!
If a Jew wants to wish me Happy Hanukkah, I'll be thrilled. If a Muslim wants to wish me Happy Ramadan, I'll be delighted.
There's no fucking way anyone is gonna tell me to take Christ out of Christmas.
When someone wishes you happy whatever, they are wishing good things on you based on their religion. You don't have to be that religion to receive good wishes. When I pray for peace, or health, it's not just for Christians, it's for everone.
I wish God, Jesus, Mohammed, Budha & the Great Pumpkin would all get together & settle their people down!
 
Not really..

We actually had corporate diversity training on this topic...
Ohh the horror. People will feel Excluded....


Well I'm sorry but WTF, you don't celebrate Christmas so you ARE excluded..

I don't feel excluded when the tribe members have dradle competitions in the office.

This could be summed up in one sentence.

Don't give a fuck about other people or what they think...Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.

I agree. I respect their holidays ... But it is Merry Christmas and the birth of Christ to me.
 
Christmas is just a commercial holiday, anyways. Why do they have to throw religion into it.

Are these decorations on YOUR front yard or the public's yard? If the latter, unfortunately in your case, he's got a point. I don't neccessarily agree nor disagree with him, but he is right. You should'nt have one religion represented in a community of many religions.

I agree. Our Christmass is 2 weeks later (orthodox) and we dont have a tradition of buying presents for everyone. Christmas eve its only our closest family and we bake a bread with a coin inside, have wine, oranges, stuffed cabbage (no meat), figs...and we just brake the bread and whoever gets the coin, the year is gonna be good to him/her.

So, no presents at all.

I think that they should have the Christmas decorations out at Christmas. Put out Muslim & Jewish decorations at the appropriate times. This may instill a little more tolerance as people come to understand each other's religion.
IMO, cities or states shouldn't get involved officially, with funding, etc. The various religious organizations should put up their own public displays.
 
LOL...I just saw this on the news!!! In Novi these people had huge statues of the nativity scene with micky or mini mouse as Santa too - in their own yard and people are bitchin

i disagree with your latter statement. public space is exactly that - public space. i think that each and every religious (and non religious) organisation made up of members of the public has an equal, yet proportionate right to set up displays in public spaces according to whatever city bylaws govern the use of that space.

ie in a city made up of 90% christians and 10% voodoo religious populations should have an equal right to apply for use of public space, though the city bylaws should have an inclusion that space utilisation be equitable - ie 90% of the space for the christians, 100% of the time, or the other way around. (assuming theyre the only people that want to use that space)

situations like this piss me off. people should frankly learn to mind their own damn business, as well as learn to coexist with others. if that jew has the right to get annoyed about christmas because it conflicts with his religious beliefs or idea of history, then i should deny his son antibiotics when he comes in with a slashed up penis after circumcising the poor bastard because it conflicts with my religious beliefs, as well as my beliefs about appropriate custom in the realm of good parenting *and* knee him in the balls on the way out, just for good measure :mad:

Tax dollars are being used to purchase these ornaments. Why should one religion have use of tax dollars while another does'nt? Your argument is based solely on the number of people with that religion in each town? lol Do they take a census for that every year? Who decides what to put up? Probably a few ladies behind the desk at borough hall.... that happen to be that same religion.

Again, I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the guy who's complaining about the display. I'm just arguing his case. In this case, you're either technically right, or technically wrong. Don't think emotionally or with your heart.

so long as tax dollars are being spent equitably according to the population demographic, there isnt a problem - though it is one of those "invisible hand" type scenarios, where it takes whatever interest group to get off their arses and actually lobby for their money to be spent on their behalf.

im not thinking with my heart about this at all; in fact i think im being objective - taxation is neccessary for government to exist, and one of the roles of government is to redistribute that money positively, and equitably, amongst all those who paid it - though its up to individuals and groups to make their voice heard by government.

religion isnt the only point of contention - why should i, a heterosexual male, have my tax dollars spent on homosexual education and health? why should i, as a childless, unmarried man, have my tax dollars spent on family benefits, or other peoples kids education? id like to think that my elected government is using logic and rationale to make sure that my tax dollars, along with everyone elses, are being spent fairly, in such a way that we as a society live to a high standard with everyone more or less, in some way or another, pulling their own weight.

I was thinking the same thing. Wait til they come out to turn all those fucking lights on and then bombs away. I don't know why they don't leave these people alone. Just because someone enjoys a holiday for their own personal reasons some asshole has to ruin it and claim religion as the reasoning for hating it. Screw these jack offs.

We are not talking about public land here folks. This was in the guys front yard. He has the right to do whatever the hell he wants to on his own property. The only tax dollars going to waste would pertain to the asshole who wants the guy to take his display down. That requires filing a complaint with the city and wasting the time of city workers to investigate and deal with the media and other homeowners who want to know what is going on.
 
i play poker with an asst. manager at wal-mart, and the other night we were talking about christmas and such. he told us that a directive from wal-mart hq came down and advised all employees to tell the customers "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas". the reasoning had something to do with not offending customers who do not celebrate christmas.
