As you all probably know by now, Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Costo and Kmart/Sears have decided to ban the phrase "Merry Christmas" in their stores so as not to offend non-Christian holiday shoppers.

What do you think about this?

Personally it makes me laugh because Christmas is a Christian holiday. It's not just some arbitrary annual day-off of work for employees and their families, it's actually the supposed birthday of Jesus! *gasp* No way!

So what's the problem? lmao

It isn't muslim, it isn't jewish, it isn't buddhist or hindu or pagan. So who's going to be offended? And more importantly, who gives a flying shit if they are? People are such pussies nowadays. It makes me laugh, but it's an angry laugh.

People actually want to take the Christ out of a Christian holiday. Blows my fucking mind. We need to take Allah out of Ramadan and God out of Hanukkah, too. Oh, and no more of that lame Jesus crap on Easter, either. Make it about the bunnies and chocolate.

I heard there is no Christmas
In the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus
They have different religious beliefs

They believe in Muhammad
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and say...

Hey there Mr. Muslim
Merry fucking Christmas
Put down that book the Koran
And hear some holiday wishes.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday.
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and fucking celebrate.

There is no holiday season in India I've heard
They don't hang up their stockings
And that is just absurd!

They've never read a Christmas story.
They don't know what Rudolph is about
And that is why in December
I'll go to India and shout...

Hey there Mr. Hinduist
Merry fucking Christmas
Drink eggnog and eat some beef
And pass it to the missus.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday
So get off your heathen Hindu ass
and fucking celebrate!

Now I heard that in Japan
Everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several gods
And put needles in their skin.

On December 25th
All they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan
And walk around and say...

Hey there Mr. Shintoist
Merry fucking Christmas
God is going to kick your ass
You infidelic pagan scum.

In case you haven't noticed
There's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus
And Merry fucking Christmas to you.

On Christmas day I travel `round the world and say,
Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhists, and all you atheists too,
Merry fucking Christmas, To You!

Thank you Mr. Hat

Chanukah is about a candle, not God :fly:


I wouldn't know. All I know is that Christmas is for the Christians. That's the point. It's so utterly irrelevant to try and appease the non-Christians that it actually very profoundly offends me even though I'm not a very religious person. It's the principle of it. The sheer, unadulterated principle of leaving Christ in a Christian holiday. I can't believe how pissed off I am over this. :fly:

So wait....

...Easter isn't about bunnies and chocolate? :(

It was when I was growing up. Man I loved that holiday. You want me to sit in a very uncomfortable wooden booth at church for an hour in order to pig out on chocolate afterwards? Hey, whatever you want.
 
I think the whole thing is stupid. Why the happy fuck should you get off work because it is your resurrected god's birthday? And if that is truly the point, why do you insist on some fat dude to represent it?

The same people that bitch about Valentine's day being a Hallmark holiday are typically the same people that bitch about how Christmas has turned into that. Newsflash. That is why you know what a once pagan holiday is. Why do you think you bring a "Christmas" tree into your house?

Have you ever actually tried to find out why we have a tree? It reminds me of reading those stupid stories on resteraunt menus. That or middle school reports. The simple facts are that Christmas was not a worldwide thing until corporations took it up. As the corporations have gotten bigger, so has Christmas.

So... if you want it to still be about Christ to you, fine. Think that. Make sure all of your friends think that, if they wish. More importantly, make sure your children think that. But please don't give a damn what I think. (Because, to me, Christmas is about pretending a whole lot of shit that isn't true so that you don't hurt the feelings of anyone in your family.)

So you're coming to church with us on Christmas Eve, yeah?
 
Meh, it's just another casualty of the PC war. The fact that they're now saying "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas" doesn't really bother me that much. What does bother me however is the reasoning behind it - everything is done so that nobody is offended. Fuck that, being American is about being able to offend anyone I want whenever I want.

And that America, is what really grinds my gears.

Exactly.

You were forced to ignore something and continue walking like...like...some kind of adult living in a free country? Sweet Jesus, have a seat and tell me all about it. I'll make sure every television station in the area gets wind of this story. Just relax, and try to stop shaking.

:rolleyes:
