Boo. hoo.

Seriously, does it really matter?

There's a judge here in Toronto that seriously getting a smackdown from the public after he ordered a Christmas Tree be taken down.

All local major media has polls on this and every single one that asked if the judge was wrong had a YES vote by over 94%.

Are we expected to walk on egg-shells for everyone?

I got a better idea, grow up!

I don't disagree with you at all really, but the point that I'm attempting to make here (and perhaps at the expense of Shakka's story, sorry about that) is that while I agree the PC stories are ridiculous on the face of things, they tend to continue being the exception and not the rule.

However, you listen to Slanthead (aka Hannity) or O'Reilly, or a number of GOP blowhards, they tend to portray another picture altogether - an all-out war against Christians. So I like showing just how fucking hypocritical they can be in the process, and how silly their bombastic claims are overall. Yes these instances are annoying, but they are a far cry from the typical religious-baiting "I-such-a-victim-of-society" fundie Christian mentality certain blowhards are attempting to portray.

Refuse to wear the santa hat, I tied little bells on the ends of my dreads, all it succeeded in doing was irritating my cousins and started the drinking game of drink, until drunk and throw me in the pool because I tinkled too loud.

Sure they do, you forgetting Eid ? Oh and Dec 25th is the Roman pagan holiday Saturnalia, not the Jewish chaps birthday, that was much earlier. sometime between June and May I think .

EDIT: Well, to be fair, a Jewish chap does have his birthday on the 25th (of December), Sir Isaac Newton .
