To think nobody is offended and people are stupid

[sooperdooper]

Sorry, FB one but I've just seen two different people share a nativity scene on FB with a message saying 'apparently FB doesn't like this picture because some people are offended - TOUGH, Pls share'

Aggghhhhh nobody is offended you morons it's utter nonsense, might just delete them I never speak to them anyway but this crap wheedles out the idiots

And the Happy Holidays in the the States is largely a catch-all expression covering Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hannukah. Nothing about offending anyone.

This is true and also what canyou said. For example, I live in an area where there is a large Jewish population so Happy Holidays tends to be the default greeting to be inclusive of everyone's religion.

We have no rules at work about what you can or cannot say, but all official communications use "Holidays." We have Christmas and Hannukah decorations up at work.

Stiles I blame the baby brain used to think it was a myth.

The Muslim shopkeepers in a shop I go to are very happy about all the Christmas fuss because they sell lots of Christmas items. They always wear Christmas hats and join in the celebrations.
They would hate it if Christmas disappeared.

Our local Christmas fair was organised by a Muslim!

My Muslim neighbours who always send a Christmas card must have missed the memo about them being offended

It's the militant aethistis , innit No. Militant atheist here. Love Christmas, say 'Merry Christmas'. It's the well-meaning plonkers.

"It's the militant aethistis , innit No. Militant atheist here. Love Christmas, say 'Merry Christmas'. It's the well-meaning plonkers."

It isn't either the militant atheists or the well meaning plonkers. It's the malicious shit stirrers

The shit on FB is the malicious shit stirrers. The bullshit at people's work places and saying, 'happy holidays' is well meaning plonkers. Poeple ask me if I'm OK with Merry Christmas (atheist) as I bang back Baileys while watching Love Actually and farting tinsel.

A mate of mine thought the holiday armadillo from friends was an actual part of the Jewish celebration. She wished someone happy Christmas, was told they are Jewish then started banging on about the holiday armadillo.

Totally off topic but I thought it was funny.

I remember a few years ago I heard somebody on radio 4, I think he was from the Muslim council of Britain talking about this. He was saying- will you stop with the mustn't mention Christmas nonsense, nobody is offended by Christmas celebrations and it just gives us a bad name.

To all the people saying it does happen, our council/company does this. Who in the organisation decided Christmas was offensive? I'll bet money it wasn't a non Christian.

lol - i have seen this too! idiots.

My mum's ndn has their christmas lights up - and yep, you've guessed it. They are muslim

I do think it's the militant aetheists , the ones who want to compel everyone to beileve what they believe . Who complain that the guys at the next desk wearing Santa hats are infringing their civil liberties .

Meanwhile all the normal aetheists , agnostics and humanists smile and say " it's just a bit of fun " . And the Christians and Muslims feel got at when all they wanted to do was Celebrate their way .

No actually you are right. It's the shit stirrers, who want to cause trouble under the guise of " tolerance "

"I do think it's the militant aetheists , the ones who want to compel everyone to beileve what they believe . Who complain that the guys at the next desk wearing Santa hats are infringing their civil liberties"

Please tell me somebody actually did this. It would be really, really funny!

"People ask me if I'm OK with Merry Christmas (atheist) as I bang back Baileys while watching Love Actually and farting tinsel."

Hahaha, wonderful image.

My elderly Muslim neighbour came round with a Christmas card and chocs for me today! We exchange cards at Eid too. They have family over on Christmas Day and have a celebration on the day same as me!

My favourite Curry house is fully bedecked with lights tinsel and decorations. They are even doing a full turkey dinner on Christmas day with the option of 'bisto or curry sauce'.
I'm sorely tempted to book.

I heard some loud mouthed, ignorant, bigoted cow moaning outside my DD's school last week, saying (in between sucks on her fag) something like "Our kids have to celebrate Fuckin Eide but they won't fuckin well do Christmas, blah blah"

A week later, yesterday in fact, and all Muslim kids without a single exception, (I work their PT) were singing carols, making decorations, and swapping cards with all the rest.

Normally, around this time of year here in the US, you hear about Fox News and their ilk blathering on about the "war on Christmas." I haven't heard much of that nonsense this year. Perhaps it's because we have enough real issues to concern ourselves with this year, like terrorism and the presidential election.

SenecaFalls, you haven't been watching Fox closely enough. Have you missed the Santa ban in the Brooklyn school? I never usually watch Fox, only doing so for Trump coverage, but the "war on Christmas" coverage is in full swing.

In fact it has got so hot that today's New York Post is reporting that Sanity has been restored

"Sanity — and Santa — have been restored at a Brooklyn public elementary school where St. Nick was banned, the Pledge of Allegiance was dropped and Thanksgiving was replaced with a “harvest festival.”

The good news arrived at PS 169 in Sunset Park on Monday morning, a day after The Post exposed the bizarre PC extremism of Principal Eujin Jaela Kim."

The serially offended are

Tell them to stuff off and get over themselves.

Everyone is entitled to celebrate things in their own way.

The only people at our school who totally avoid Christmas are the Jehovah's witness families.

Their kids had to miss the end of term party because it includes the word Christmas in the name

Been teaching in canada for my last two decades and the schools here do NOT celebrate christian holidays unless they cover ALL of the religious hols.
