You are anti-Christian or Jewish or something else.

posyden wrote:Christians...grow the fuck up

wow. I'm an agnostic and I'm cringing at that blanket statement.

I gotta admit, I'm simply aghast every time I enter a grocery store that advertises "Kosher" foods in their windows.

Grow the fuck up indeed.

posyden wrote:Sure seeing "Merry Christmas" in stores may make them feel good
but I don't think the Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, ect. population would like that very much

You are crazy. Let me spell it out for you: C-R-A-Z-Y. We (non-christians) do not give a shit about that stuff. IT IS CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS IS WHAT YOU SAY WHEN IT IS CHRISTMAS. This offends me about as much as someone from England would if he wished me a happy Guy Fawkes Day.

I love Guy Fawke's Day, for the record.

Where I'm from - Guy Fawkes Day disappeared and became "Cracker Night" - but we don't have "Cracker Night" any more because 'crackers' (a.k.a fireworks) are now illegal - unless you live in the ACT. The ACT has all the best porn too.

First off..I'm not anti-christian...I respect the rights of others to believe in what they wish...all I ask is that they respect my right to believe in what I wish

also
The Jazz...

you personally may not care about seeing christmas advertised..and I know many non-christians (Including me) who don't mind either...but I've read about some complaints that some non-christian families have had...so my statement remains valid...

also..December 25th is the start of Chanukah/Hanukah..and is also christmas day..so Happy Chanukah is also what you say when it's christmas

and just a side note...Jesus Christ was born sometime around June/July...so Christmas being the "Birth of Jesus" is kinda incorrect

posyden wrote:I think that christians need to realize that they arent the only religion in the world.....

I'm pretty sure they're clear on that fact.

posyden wrote:so that every religion knows that the store wants you to be happy....

I'm pretty sure that's not what the stores want.

Also, ponder this for a sec, will ya:

No, you made a blanket statement about the non-Christian population. If you had said that some people don't like seeing "Merry Christmas" in stores, then your statement would have been valid. Still, that is their problem that they have to get over their own damn crazy selves.

also..December 25th is the start of Chanukah/Hanukah..and is also christmas day..so Happy Chanukah is also what you say when it's christmas

No, "Happy Hannukah" is what you say when it is HANNUKAH, which falls on KISLEV 25, not DECEMBER 25th. The fact that they coincide this year is called a coincidence.

1. If you are not anti-christian...thats fine but you could be a little nicer to those who are in fact Christian. Telling all Christians to "grow up" isn't very nice. It isn't even tolerant. Tolerance is a two way street.

2. Right, so if every tiny little complaint has to be honered then the already out of control POLITICALLY CORRECT machine will start to chomp all over everyone's right to live. What happens when non-christian folk are offended by 'happy holidays' because it gives them the blues. Where do we draw the line. We can't make everyone happy.

3. Yes, we're all pretty sure that the Bible doesn't mark December 25th as Jesus's Birthday. You really havn't torn the tent for the light to shine through on that one. Unless you know the exact date, can we please just celebrate it in December? Because, I would like to celebrate it sometime and right now we already do that on the 25th and I've been preparing all year.

I'm not spiteful. And I really hope that you don't take my words as 'in your face' or a big 'EF YOU'. They aren't meant that way. They aren't even typed in that tone of voice. I just hope that just as I'm tolerant of all other religions, that you might, just maybe, be tolerant of mine.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas

merry christmas indeed.

Are you sure your Christmas sucks?

Welcome to Christmas for the Dungy famly.

I'm sure there's thousands of unreported stories just like this one, every one of them as tragic.

Take stock in what you have, not what you don't, or for that matter, what you think you don't have.

Have a happy life everyone. God bless and keep you all safe.

Yeah, that sucks. Big news here and everybody is in awe about it. Tony Dungy is one of the most respected coaches in the NFL due to his reputation as a very nice guy blended with great coaching ability. If it is a suicide, then it's even more tradgec. Tony having the best coaching season of his career and just a few days away from Christmas. It's a terrible time for such a selfish act. (not that there is ever a 'good' time)

Woooooooo Christmas.

I gots me a pink sparkly guitar strip to go with Mr Sparkles.


And then a "MXL 992/993 studio package". I need to find another mic stand though...

I got one of these, unfortunately it's the real thing.

And if it weren't enough I have experiments running and can't take the day off so I have to go into lab today and work on this guy

sometimes the best gifts are the ones that don't cost anything.
