I really don't understand. Words only have as much power as you LET them have. I hate today's super politically correct society where you have to consider everyone's feelings before you blow your nose.
I'm no Jesus humper, but I love me some Christmas. I like being around my family. I like exchanging gifts. I like the decorations and the music and the lights and the happiness. It's a fantastic time of year that makes people feel good. Don't ruin it by getting into a pissing contest over something so STUPID.
I'd like to thank all the dicks that are trying to kill Christmas. Next thing you know, the fat people will declare Santa Clause offensive to the obese. The pagans will be up in arms because we don't recognize the Winter Solstace as a national holiday. Midgets will rebel due to the connotation of the word "elf". PETA will ban the song "Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer" because it promotes animal cruelty.
I hate people. |
I hadn't heard a word about it until you posted this...
Holiday? That would be like naming your child "Kid" or renaming the U.S.A. "Country." It doesn't solve anything anyway, because the roots of holiday are "holy day" and if you call it that you're sure to piss off the atheists.
You can't please all of the people all of the time, but just because people have the right under the first ammendment to bitch about the things that piss them off, it doesn't mean anyone is under any sort of obligation to
do anything about it. Ever see the South Park episode where they wanted a completely non-denomiational holiday pageant? Everything that meant anything to anyone got taken out, and what are you left with? Phillip Glass' meaningless minimalist bullshit, that's what. Leave Xmas the fuck alone.
