i dunno... i don't celebrate Christmas. and the fact that spell check says christmas is spelled wrong because of a lower case c kinda pisses me off. i think the religious masses don't really get what they're celebrating. they are too worried about those sales and what they're gonna get in the morning.

but, i do enjoy the holiday season. much more so because of the mood. the giving sense that can be seen being displayed is what i enjoy seeing. help your fellow man... or woman, or in betweener. sorry, don't wanna piss off the PCers...

You all do realize this whole argument was started by conservative talk radio? I know, I know... Johnny just has a hardon for Neo radio... well, this whole deal was dreamed up by Bill O'Reilly a few years ago.

The liberals are trying to steal/outlaw/subvert Christmas! You have to vote Republican, or they'll kill Baby Jesus!!

Think. Do you really in your heart think ANYONE would want to take away Christmas? Do you think anyone could? Does that thought frighten you? Are you afraid? Really afraid? You should be, the liberals are going to break down your front door, take your guns, turn you gay, and STOP YOU FROM CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS because... well, Bill hasn't come up with a reason why evil liberals want to stop one of the driving forces in retail, but there is a good one, believe me. Everybody knows that all liberals don't celebrate Christmas, they all get up Dec. 25th and burn black candles for Satan.
Remember, vote for the party who'll save Christmas, and stop the evil hordes who don't listen to the radio. :roll:

Honestly, people amaze me sometimes with their gullibility.---->JMS

I have! Like all "liberals," I regularly break into old people's houses and steal their Bibles, and while doing that, I kicked an elderly preacher's wife down the stairs. :roll: Her cocoa was delicious.

Really, joe, how does the demonizing of conservatism feel (even when it's true)? If you can vent your extremist views, then I can point out when your heroes/crushes are full of sh*t. The days when the word "Liberal" is a swear-word are over. Your team played their usual game this election, but America didn't go for it this time. Want to know how I know this for a fact?

You have not pointed out anything about Ron Paul and libertarians that are full of shit that I have read. Don't know what you are ranting about. If you consider Ron Paul and libertarians extremist, then you are saying the Constitution is extremist. Oh well so do W and Nobama.

(Hits the brakes.)
Whoa.
Ron Paul ran as a Republican. Had he run as a Libertarian, or better yet, with no party affiliation, he may have actually had a chance, but he actually thought the Bushpilots would give him some respect. You knew they were going to marginalize him, didn't you? He made sense, and talked like a human being, for Pete's sake. He wasn't political and partisan enough, and the GOP election model is to appeal to the people who think God is a Republican. You can't blame Obama for Ron Paul's loss, only the Republican party. You're tilting at the wrong windmill.---->JMS

Your spell check should capitalize Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day or any other holiday. Its a proper noun. Grammar rules supersede religious doctrine to a computer.

After paying the bill for the installation of an alternator belt on the p.o.s., today I said to the peeps at Reliable "Happy Holidays" (Whilst thinking of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve), and that I looked forward to not seeing them again until next year. (Although with those I know, BAH HUMBUG werks fer me, too!)




If one owns "The Grinch", "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", who cares when they are broadcast on tv! :D

VENTGtr wrote:I generally say "Have a good holiday" or something like, or, it may also depend to whom
I'm speaking. Haunaka is way older than Christmas (And a big part of why Christmas
is celebrated when it is. Jesus wasn't born in December, that tree is a Pagan thing, etc.,
etc.). Kwanza? Well, if someone wants to have a holiday that celebrates their combined
heritage, they should FEEL FREE to do so.

I agree that "Christmas" is more of a secular holiday now, and a lot of those with some
big issue with it not being referred to with what they consider proper reverence aren't
REALLY planning on spending it in a very traditionally "Christian"-like way. SO, it kind'a
seems like it JUST MIGHT OFTEN be a little more of a jealousy thing that those crazy
Jewish people are actually being observant of what their holiday is about. AND, it's not
even their BIG ONE.

Remember that those wild and wooly Puritans so many like to espouse about "founding
the nation on religious principles" would, at best, put you in stocks and whip the soles
of your feet with a leather strap for that overly ostentatious wreath because EVERY DAY
was to be seen as "God's" day.

Just sayin'...but again...I don't follow the belief that the Easter Bunny created the world
in seven days then went sailing for the next 40 Days and all. I grew up Southern Baptist
and was at church a lot...and have actually looked into the big book of stuff and how it
came about...and things just don't add up.

Hope that doesn't offend in a non-PC way.

So you're saying that a giant rabbit didn't give Jesus chocolate while he was on the cross?! BLASPHEMER! And just think, the 3 wise men really pulled one over on ol' baby Jesus, they only got him one birthday present each, where were his Christmas presents? I think everyone needs to realize that most christian holidays are actually Pagan holidays under different names. So who cares what you call it, as long as we all get stuff we want/need.

There's just something about having to wait until they come on and trying to be sure
you see them. And...should have to wait longer than NOVEMBER.


KyleMayket wrote: So you're saying that a giant rabbit didn't give Jesus chocolate while he was on the cross?!
Well...he might have...but you can be DANG sure Jesus was yelling at him to go get
a freakin' hammer and start pulling out nails instead of just dropping a Milky Way in
front of him "STUPID F&%KIN' RABBIT! NOAH SHOULD'VE LET YOU DROWN!".
KyleMayket wrote:where were his Christmas presents?
Ooh, that's good. To think J.C. got ripped off on his own holiday. Geez. Poor guy
never got a break.

KyleMayket wrote:I think everyone needs to realize that most christian holidays are actually Pagan holidays under different names.
Yep...and you throw in Black Friday, 5AM at a mall and you see what is akin to Pagan
hordes rushing for plunder.
KyleMayket wrote:So who cares what you call it, as long as we all get stuff we want/need.
From this day forward, shall be known as "The Big Payday"...or...if you don't get what
you want..."The Big Downer Day".

Dang, not yet, but I like the sound of this game!

And that's why they call him "Johnny on the Spot".
