1 merry christmas
2 pc is lame
3 country music

So stay on topic folks.

Hey, I'm christian and dont celebrate christmas because I dont believe in it, so there.

You must get a lot of challenges to that chosen belief.

Actually, I think it's harder for someone from a Christian background to pass on Christmas. They'll never hear the end of it.

Oh, and it's "RamaHanuKwanzMas".

I have yet to see ANYONE bitch about use of the term "Merry Christmas."  All I see is a lot of bitching by people claiming that 'someone' is trying to keep them from doing so.

Work for Apple, Office Max, KMart, Sears, or any other main chain, they are not allowed to say Merry Christmas, it is either Happy Holidays or nothing.

That's capitalism my dear, not political correctness.

Even if 95% of your customers celebrate Christmas, why risk alienating the other 5%? It's either an appropriate catch-all term like "Happy Holidays" or no greeting at all.

You know I don't use the word hate too often but there are a few things I really hate...

1. Politically correct snobs... I'm sorry, but Merry Christmas! Not Happy Holidays, not Season Greetings, or anything else.. Merry Christmas! For as far back as I can remember I have been told Merry Christmas, when did that change? Come on people, is it really that bad to actually still say Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year?

2. People without spines, or think skins... You can't say anything around these people without them either feeling disgruntled, offended, or file a report on you because you offended them, or people around them, although no one really complained but them... give me a break, when did the people of the US become so pussy whipped that we worry about "Did I offend women?", or "Did I offend homosexuals?" or whatever with a statement I made?

3. Music remakes, now come on, there are some things that are fine, but doing a cover song for The Gambler, and re-wording it to make it more PC, is blasphemy... They not only can't sing the song great, but they make it so it doesn't offend anyone... the original song is innocent of all things bad, and people with something that crawled up their ass and died are the ones bitching about songs being negative for the kids... yet the don't do anything about rap, and talking about raping hoes, beating bitches or anything else... why is that? Oh yeah I forgot freedom of speech...

This country is becoming too touchy felly for my taste, when will the US wake up to what they are doing to themselves and realize they are hurting no one buy themselves in the long run?

Wondering if declaring war on Fanatic Muslims doesn't mean we are attacking the Muslim religion, if it does to the rest of the Muslims, perhaps we should really look more closely at the religion and see what is wrong and why it's allowed to be practiced if all that is, is hate?

So when can I get off this roller coaster and back into the real world, this ride sucks.

Glad to see you're still capable of posting utterly moronic tripe, as usual. A few questions for you:

1) So, who's STOPPING you from saying "Merry Christmas" and what happens when you do?

Can't say it in the work place, I can say it out of it though... and I don't dare say it in the work place unless I want to keep my job.

2) Is it really that horrible to say "Happy Hollidays"? Do you essplode if you say it?

don't you mean explode? Meh... in any case it is an annoyance really, it just makes me remember how pathetically PC everyone, or every company has become.

3) What freedom has been curtailed and what governmental force is doing so in regard to your use of "Merry Christmas"?

Notice that the White House didn't give out their traditional Christmas Cards this year? I wonder why...

KingFred wrote:

4) What in hell do you flippin' care if someone rewords "The Gambler"??!? Are you against their "Freedom of Speech" to do so? WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE? HELLO!! It's "The Gambler" fer flip's sakes!!

Simple, I like the song...

If "this country's getting too touchy feely for [your] taste", please feel free to move to a more theocratic/dictatorial one.

Happy Holidays.

Sorry not happening, how about the socialists of this country move out... it be a better place without them, and their "Oh lets not hurt the feelings of the people around us." Mentality. I'm still waiting for the ones that said they would do it when Bush won the presidency for the first and second time...

I've never met anyone who was so offended by the idea of being considerate to others.

Despite what Rush told you, there isn't a PC conspiracy behind this. It's just people trying to respectful.

No wonder this country is going to hell.

Um. The White House sent out the same stereotypical Holiday Cards they always do.

Not to mention that it was covered in Bible verse. Way to cater to those secular demons!

Well, when we're turning into a nation of smurfs (donkey rear ends, retarded censors), it's no surprise that something that tries to be respectful is slammed as an evil conspiracy.

the irony is so thick (or is that think) you could cut it with a knife

If you don't like it you can move.

He doesn't have to move, goddamit! This country was founded by white conservative Christians who put pine trees in their living rooms every smurfing year in Jesus' name and by the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that's the way it's gonna stay!

You  know what I don't like:

Whiny Republicans.

Complaining about the phrase "Happy Holidays" is like complaining that the free steak they gave you is too succulent.

Also, what on earth is with

And this may be the next sig material I'll use:

Why did they do so, in your opinion?  Did Wal-Mart force them to?

Please find me a "socialist" bitching about this.

I listened to several hours of NPR yesterday while I was traveling.  Those evil liberals couldn't get enough of "Merry Christmas!"  I heard it several times.  Who, specifically has made a big deal out of this?  Links, please.

Oh, and which cover of "The Gambler" is the issue here?

How exactly did they change the words, anyway?
